Why We Use Cedar for Our Outdoor Cat Houses (And Why It Matters for Your Cats)
Jun 11, 2025
When it comes to protecting outdoor cats, not just any wood will do. That’s why all of our outdoor cat houses and feral cat shelters are handcrafted with cedar. Cedar does what many woods simply can’t and it makes all the difference for your pets.

Naturally Weatherproof
Cedar stands up to rain, snow, and sun without breaking down like other woods. Your outdoor cat house stays strong through every season, giving your cats a safe place to stay dry and protected year-round.
Insect & Pest Resistant
Unlike softer woods, cedar naturally repels many insects. This means fewer pests inside your outdoor pet house, helping to keep the space clean and comfortable for the cats you care for.

Built to Last for Years
Cedar’s natural durability means less maintenance and longer life. Whether you’re housing pet cats or providing shelter for feral cats, you can count on these outdoor pet houses to hold up for many seasons to come.
Safe & Comfortable
We want your cats to feel safe. Cedar’s natural properties allow us to build structures that are not only tough, but also cozy. Add an optional heating pad, and your cat house becomes a true refuge in both winter and summer.

The Bottom Line?
When you invest in a quality outdoor cat house made from cedar, you’re giving your cats lasting protection, safety, and comfort. It’s why we build every house this way.
