There are very few things that tug at my heartstrings more than seeing a community cat trying to make it through bad weather.
As much as I believe every cat deserves the safety of an indoor home, the reality is that millions of community and stray cats are still living outside. While we should always work toward getting friendly cats into loving homes whenever possible, there are cats who need a warm, dry, secure place to sleep tonight. That's why I was happy to come across Walmart's Outdoor Waterproof Cat House.
Outdoor Cat House - Weatherproof Resin Cat Houses for Outdoor Cats, Durable & Insulated Shelter for Garden, Patio, or Backyard, $37.99, Walmart
Designed for outdoor use, this insulated shelter gives community cats a protected place to escape rain, snow, wind, and chilly temperatures. And unlike a cardboard box or makeshift shelter, it's built to last through all four seasons.

The waterproof resin construction helps keep moisture out while also making the shelter easy to wipe clean. Inside, there's enough room for one or two cats to curl up comfortably, and several reviewers even noted that larger groups of cats were able to share the space.
One feature I especially appreciate is the two door design. Having both an entrance and an exit is important for outdoor cats because it gives them a way to escape if another animal approaches. Cats naturally feel safer when they aren't trapped with only one way out.
The shelter also has a neutral gray finish that blends nicely into a yard, patio or garden, so it doesn't immediately stand out as pet furniture.
Why People Love This Cat House
Reviewers had plenty of good things to say about it.
One customer shared that a neighborhood cat chose the shelter to give birth and safely raise her kittens on their deck, adding that it stayed dry, was easy to clean, and provided a secure place for the little family.
Another reviewer, who purchased multiple shelters for community cats, praised the two-door design, said the house was large enough for two cats to sleep comfortably and appreciated that it looked attractive outside without taking up much space.
Several people also mentioned how simple the shelter was to assemble, making it easy to set up before bad weather arrives. No shelter replaces a loving indoor home.
But for the cats spending another night outside, having somewhere warm, dry, and protected to curl up can mean everything.
