This \u003cstrong\u003ecat whelping tent\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA private, enclosed space for an expectant cat, away from noise and foot traffic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMesh on four sides plus a top vent, so you can watch without disturbing her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA waterproof base — the one feature that matters most during a birth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZips shut, so kittens stay in and the household stays out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds flat to about 2 cm and sets up in seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarns its keep afterwards as a kitten playpen, a travel pen or an everyday bed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull dimensions published for both sizes, folded and unfolded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight-sided enclosed design\u003c\/strong\u003e with a zippered door to stop escapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh windows on four sides plus a top vent\u003c\/strong\u003e for airflow and constant visibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof base\u003c\/strong\u003e that resists moisture and wipes clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds flat\u003c\/strong\u003e to roughly 2 cm thick for storage or travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstant setup\u003c\/strong\u003e — a lightweight collapsible frame, no tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree roles in one\u003c\/strong\u003e — birthing nest, kitten playpen, everyday pet bed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes with published dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e — Small and Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMesh keeps insects out as well as keeping kittens in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall — unfolded: 50 × 41 × 35 cm (approx. 19.7 × 16.1 × 13.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall — folded: 48 × 35 × 2 cm (approx. 18.9 × 13.8 × 0.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium — unfolded: 60 × 48 × 40 cm (approx. 23.6 × 18.9 × 15.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium — folded: 60 × 38 × 2 cm (approx. 23.6 × 15.0 × 0.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructure: eight-sided, collapsible frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilation: four mesh windows plus a top vent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: waterproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours available: Grey and Blue in both sizes; Pink in Small only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable pets: cats, kittens and small pets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 × foldable pet tent in the size and colour you select\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe manufacturer does not state the fabric or frame material.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePink is available in Small only.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a soft-sided nest, not a secure enclosure.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet it up well before the due date.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupervise young kittens. Mesh, zips and folding frames are not hazard-free around animals small enough to get behind them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo weight limit is published. Treat it as suitable for cats, kittens and small pets, which is what the manufacturer specifies — not for dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frame is collapsible. Fold it as instructed rather than forcing it, or you risk creasing the panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it big enough for a queen and a litter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it for anything other than a birth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow well does it fold down?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth sizes flatten to about 2 cm thick, so it slides behind furniture or into a car boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the base really waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I see my cat inside without opening it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zippygiz","offers":[{"title":"Grey \/ Small","offer_id":52930314240312,"sku":"1005012552723518-Grey-S","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey \/ Medium","offer_id":52930314273080,"sku":"1005012552723518-Grey-M","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ Small","offer_id":52930314305848,"sku":"1005012552723518-Blue-S","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ Medium","offer_id":52930314338616,"sku":"1005012552723518-Blue-M","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ Small","offer_id":52930314371384,"sku":"1005012552723518-Pink-S","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/9816\/2744\/files\/S0ff06ee279f640b8a0e19999d1cdcb7cF.webp?v=1788967247","url":"https:\/\/zippygiz.com\/products\/cat-whelping-tent-foldable-mesh-playpen-birthing-nest","provider":"Zippygiz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
