Product Overview
A queen about to give birth wants somewhere dark, quiet and hers — not the middle of the living-room floor, and not the back of your wardrobe. This cat whelping tent gives her an eight-sided enclosed nest with a zip-up door, mesh on four sides so you can check on her without opening anything, and a wipeable waterproof base for the part nobody enjoys. When the kittens are up and about it stops being a birthing box and becomes a playpen, and when you are done with it entirely it folds down to two centimetres thick and goes on top of a wardrobe. Both sizes come with full published dimensions, folded and unfolded.

Important Information
-
The manufacturer does not state the fabric or frame material. The description covers the mesh panels, the waterproof base and the collapsible structure, but names no textile. We are not going to guess one. Ask us before ordering if the exact material matters to you.
-
Pink is available in Small only. The Medium in pink was priced well above every other colour with no stated reason, so we have not listed it rather than put one colour at a higher price than its identical siblings.
-
This is a soft-sided nest, not a secure enclosure. The zip keeps kittens contained and casual visitors out. A determined adult cat can push against fabric and mesh, so use it as a den, not as containment for an animal that wants out.
-
Set it up well before the due date. Cats choose their own nesting spot and often reject a box introduced at the last minute. Put it somewhere quiet a week or two ahead and let her find it herself.
- Supervise young kittens. Mesh, zips and folding frames are not hazard-free around animals small enough to get behind them.
- No weight limit is published. Treat it as suitable for cats, kittens and small pets, which is what the manufacturer specifies — not for dogs.
- Wipe the waterproof base with warm water and a mild cleaner. Air-dry the tent fully before folding it away, or the mesh will hold odours.
- The frame is collapsible. Fold it as instructed rather than forcing it, or you risk creasing the panels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it big enough for a queen and a litter?
The Medium gives 60 × 48 cm of floor area, the Small 50 × 41 cm. For a birthing nest with a litter, the Medium is the sensible choice; the Small suits a single small cat, a kitten pen or travel.
Can I use it for anything other than a birth?
Yes — the manufacturer lists it as a pet bed, a birthing nest and a portable playpen. Most owners get far more use out of the second and third roles than the first.
How well does it fold down?
Both sizes flatten to about 2 cm thick, so it slides behind furniture or into a car boot.
Is the base really waterproof?
The manufacturer describes the base as waterproof and moisture-resistant. No hydrostatic rating is published, so treat it as wipe-clean and spill-resistant rather than as a sealed tray.
Can I use it outdoors?
For supervised time on a patio or lawn in fair weather, yes. It is a lightweight mesh tent with no anchoring points listed, so it is not a weatherproof outdoor kennel and should not be left out.
Can I see my cat inside without opening it?
Yes — that is what the four mesh windows and the top vent are for. You can check on a labouring queen or a sleeping litter without unzipping anything.
