Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your PawHut Outdoor Cat House and ensure a healthy environment for your pets.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the interior of the cat house, including platforms and floor, to remove pet hair, dirt, and any waste. Use pet-safe cleaning solutions.
• Exterior Care: Wipe down the wooden frame and wire mesh periodically to remove dust and grime.
• Asphalt Roof: The water-resistant asphalt roof provides protection from rain. Inspect the roof periodically for any tears or lifted sections that might compromise its water resistance.
• Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Inspect the wooden frame for any cracks or splinters and the wire mesh for any breaks or sharp edges.
• Winter Care: In harsh winter conditions, consider adding extra insulation or moving the cat house to a more sheltered location to provide additional warmth for your pets.
