"Was simple to put together. Took about a half hour. The stray cat were trying to care for started using it instantly. Hard to say if it will hold up but so far so good."

— Barncat

"after 2 days of use, the “step” into the house broke. Very unsturdy."

Bottom Line

This cat house may be suitable for short-term use but durability issues and missing parts make it a questionable investment for long-term use. Consider alternative options if reliability is a priority.
