Safety Information

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:

• Ensure the cat house is placed on a stable, level surface.
• Do not immerse the heating pad or electrical components in water.
• Keep the power cord away from chewing hazards. The cord is chew-proof, but regular inspection is recommended.

• Unplug the heating pad when not in use or during cleaning.
• Do not modify the product or its components. Use only original replacement parts.
• Supervise pets during initial use to ensure they adapt safely to the new shelter.

Setup and Assembly

The FURHOME COLLECTIVE Heated Cat House is designed for quick and easy assembly without tools.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Assemble Walls: The walls of the cat house attach using hook and loop fasteners (Velcro). Align the edges and firmly press the fasteners together to create the house structure.
3. Attach Roof: Secure the roof to the top edges of the assembled walls using the integrated hook and loop fasteners. Ensure a snug fit for weather protection.
4. Insert Base Pads: Place the additional base pad inside the house, followed by the heated pad. Cover the heated pad with the luxurious padded faux fur cover.
5. Install PVC Door Covers: Attach the two PVC door covers to the designated entry/exit points. These covers help retain heat and protect against elements.
6. Positioning: Place the assembled cat house in a sheltered outdoor location, such as a porch, garage, or barn. The elevated base provides protection from ground moisture.
