DIY outdoor cat house for a mother cat and her newborn kittens?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Could you recommend me any houses for the cat and newborns to be inside? A house that has plenty of room and both the cat and the kittens would be relaxed there. I'm in jordan but i'm not sure if there are any places near by that would sell these kinds of things.

Hi, a good house for a cat outside is one you can make yourself. Buy a large plastic bin with a cover, and place straw inside, covering the bottom. Cut a square hold into it that is small enough so predators cannot get inside. A good website with instructions is here: http://www.humanesociety.org/news/magazines/2010/07-08/simple_shelter_design.html?credit=web_id212453451 . Add some rocks to the top so it does not blow away and there you have a cat home. Good luck, I hope this helps!
