Hi Sharon, thanks so much for the great review! We’re delighted to hear you find the dog house sturdy and love the product.
We're sort of taking our time as we have a lot on our plate and are redoing our house and patio, so we have yet let the cats in - for out particular setup we chose not to put it directly against the house and can buy lots of prefabricated pieces to bridge the gap. But, as promised you only need a screwdriver, a second person is needed to hold a few pieces to line them. It took under three hours - had we to do it again we could it 90 minutes, easy. It was labeled for the most part so you know what part goes where. We had a base built so we can hose it down without worrying about bugs or anything in summer. The Fir wood should hold up as it painted already with a sealant, unlike a lot of the flimsier models offered elsewhere that require you to paint the pieces before you put it together unless you want it to last a season. We may see about reinforcing a few places, depending on any what else we can find online, but as it shows in my picture, everything fit together out of the box and it is hold together, as promised right out the of box.
Hi there, thanks for sharing such a detailed review! We’re glad assembly was straightforward and that the pieces fit together as expected. Your raised base sounds like a thoughtful setup, and we hope your cats enjoy exploring their new catio once your house and patio projects are complete.
It took a bit longer for us to build than the instructions said but it should work great to keep our pups out of the weather.
Hi Deborah, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad the dog house should help keep your pups protected from the weather. Sorry assembly took longer than expected, and we hope they love their new shelter!
Took a minute to assemble but was quickly handled have 2 cat they both enjoy the catio you can see Ollie really enjoying. That you
Hi there, thanks so much for sharing! We’re glad assembly came together quickly and that both your cats are enjoying their catio. Ollie looks like he’s having a wonderful time!
Years ago I used some online plans to construct a cat shelter from scratch. It came out decently but took quite a bit of time to make. We have a new stray at our ranch who is shy and won't come in the garage. This time I didn't feel like building my own when I discovered this stylish kitty bungalow on Petscosset. $99 included shipping and it came fast and well packaged. It took me about 45 minutes to assemble with a Phillips drill bit in a cordless drill, and a manual screwdriver. The instructions are mostly diagrams with few words but were easy to follow. All of the requisite hardware was present which almost seems like a miracle today. The pieces fit together precisely which was appreciated. The finished product looks great, but now we have to convince our furry friend to use it!
Hi Tom, we're so glad to hear you had a positive experience with our cat house! It's wonderful that it was easy to assemble and looks great. We hope your new feline friend will soon feel comfortable using it. Thanks for sharing your kind words!
This run extension is perfect for my set-up! Easy to assemble and just the size I needed.
Hi Tara! We're thrilled to hear you love the run extension and that it fits your setup perfectly. Thanks for sharing your experience!
It was easy to put together. The opening at the top for easy access to the inside is a nice feature. When attaching the roof hinge take your time and helpful if 2 people do this part. Took me about 3 hours to assemble by myself.
Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad to hear the assembly was smooth and that you appreciate the features. Enjoy your new cat house!
Hi Jeff! We're so glad to hear you found the coop easy to assemble. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
Had this about two weeks now and my gang has loved the outdoor experience without really getting to roam free. To put it together was a bit of a challenge because the instructions are skimpy. Also, I took off the two boxes that are on the upper level. The cats are out there to look around, not to hide away. So removing them gave the gang more room for viewing their surroundings. Plus it should be noted that I had to also purchase (from Wayfair) and window cat door. This way they can get to the patio from inside. Otherwise, you'd have to leave your window open which would increase A/C use and allow a ton of bugs inside. I also don't use the canvas hanging swing as I doubted they'd use it plus it seems like a block to getting to the other levels of the catio. Overall, although I've had to make adjustments, I'd recommend this catio so your pets can get outside and smell and breath the fresh air.
Hi Jay, thank you for sharing your experience with the Pet90 catio! We're glad your cats are enjoying the outdoor space and appreciate your tips on customizing it. Your feedback about the instructions and modifications is very helpful. Thanks for recommending it, and we hope your pets continue to enjoy their new outdoor adventures!
Easy assembly. It took me a little longer alone and I was building two at the same time. Having an electric screwdriver or a drill is your best bet. My girls love their new homes.
Hi Sherran, thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad your girls love their new homes and that the assembly was smooth with your tools. We appreciate your support!
So impressive with the quality of materials, design, and simple assembly.
Highly recommend and far more value than cost.
Hi Phillip, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with the quality and design of the dog house. We really appreciate your recommendation and support. Enjoy your new pet space!
Shipped the same day it was ordered and was fairly easy to assemble. The dogs love it . Thanks
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear your dogs love their new house and that it was easy to assemble. Thanks for sharing your experience!
We got this storage cabinet to repurpose as a Little Free Library. It has a lot of space and was easy to build. The customer service was also excellent.
Hi Karina, we're so happy to hear you love the cabinet and that it worked perfectly for your Little Free Library project! Thanks for your kind words about our service too. Enjoy your new library!
Hi Alisha, we're so glad your cats love their new home! Thanks for your patience during assembly, and enjoy many cozy moments together.
I thought directions had said 1 person assembly. I did it alone but couldve used 2 people. Easy to understand packed well. No complaints. Kitty used it immediately, went from outside to inside kitty. This is best i can do for him.
Hi Tipsey's Condo, thank you for your kind review! We're glad your kitty is enjoying the enclosure. For easier assembly, having a second person can definitely help. We appreciate your feedback and hope your furry friend loves it for a long time!
Ordered this for our two bengals and so far it is working out great. It is a little difficult to get it perfectly square so the door latches work flawlessly but it is still manageable regardless. Planning to get a second unit in the future to expand the space once we move into our new home. For now it is fitting ours and our cats needs perfectly.
Hi Chaunteel, we're thrilled to hear the Catio is working well for your Bengals! We appreciate your feedback on the assembly and look forward to helping you expand your feline space in the future. Thanks for choosing Petscosset!
Follow up. Got it mounted to the house. Did not use the legs that came with it. But the cats at least one so far is using it.
Hi Kelly, we're glad to hear your cat is enjoying the Cat Window! Thanks for sharing your update, and feel free to reach out if you need any assistance. Enjoy watching your feline friends explore!
"It’s huge—perfect for my Maine Coon! Assembly is no joke: ignore the 90-minute estimate. As a single homeowner, it took me 8 hours total (with help for the last 2 hours). Unpacking is intimidating, but taking 45 minutes to organize the numbered wood pieces and alphabetical hardware beforehand is a lifesaver. You only need a drill with a Phillips bit and pliers.
Pay close attention to the pre-drilled holes on the top-front-middle wall panel; I accidentally installed mine upside down and had to improvise!
Skip the flimsy provided screws for the top boxes (parts 25, 26, 28)—use your own longer, sturdier screws instead.
Built a raised platform so it’s not sitting directly on the ground, and treated it with Thompsons Water Seal.
Screened in the open back side against the house, adding an upper window entry with a separate cat door and a ramp.
Reinforced the double white doors with a cross-board to make them sturdier.
It’s a lot of work, but totally worth it. Kenji cat loves it, and that’s all that matters!"
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience! We're thrilled to hear Kenji loves the new space and that you found ways to customize it to fit your needs. Your tips on assembly and reinforcement are really helpful for future customers. Thanks again for your support and for choosing Petscosset!

Hi Susan, we're sorry to hear about the missing part. Please contact our customer service team so we can assist you with a replacement for the supporter. Thank you for your patience!
Outdoor cat house can fit two cats. I got this for the neighborhood cats that I feed. Easy to build with picture directions. Cats have yet to go inside, but they are curious about it!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad the cats are curious and that the house was easy to build. We hope the neighborhood cats enjoy their new cozy home soon!
I bought this for a cat that just randomly showed up at my home and chose me. He’s living like a king now! The house is easy to assemble. I’ve had this house for 2 months now and it’s great. My new outdoor cat “Fred” eats downstairs and sleeps upstairs. I highly recommended!
Hi April, we're so happy to hear Fred is enjoying his new home! Thanks for sharing your positive experience and for recommending us. Wishing you and Fred many happy moments together!
Hi Erica Leigh, we're thrilled to hear that your cats love the house! Thank you for sharing your kind words and for supporting your colony cats. Enjoy your new sanctuary!
It’ll do for a small bantam. My biggest issue is there is not enough ventilation in the coop. There’s only 1 tiny window. The picture makes the window look bigger than it actually is.
Can be challenging to get food and water in the run section but overall for the price, it a good little coop as long as you free range your birds.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We are glad to hear it works well for smaller birds and offers great value when free-ranging.
Regarding airflow, the coop actually features not only the viewing window but also fully openable doors that can be secured open during the day for extra ventilation. As for accessing the run to feed your birds, the run area is designed with multiple access doors to make reaching inside easier from different angles.
We truly appreciate your helpful notes, and if you ever need any tips on setting up or making the most of your coop, please feel free to reach out to us at service@petscosset.com. Thanks again for choosing PetsCosset!
