YITAHOME Large Cat Cage Indoor Enclosure Metal Wire 4-Tier Kennels DIY Cat Playpen Catio with Large Hammock for 1-3 Cats

A pain to put together but overall, it seems to be sturdy. Door needs to be a little larger in order to get litter box in and for cleaning. The clips they give you for locking doors could also be a bit larger. I am happy with the purchase so yes I would say its a good buy. Just watch a video before attempting to assemble.

EDIT: 1/20/24 I have added a photo (not a great one but you get the idea). The cat "condo" is still standing strong with no problems or issues. The cats are still very pleased with it. The thing is held together by zipties but it is strong and has withstood cat zoomies and bumps from the dogs. It is easily moved around for cleaning. With the door placements I chose it is a bit challenging to get in there to clean it but using a swiffer than can be extended makes it easier. I'm considering buying additional pieces to make the enclosure larger just because, but I recommend this 110% for indoor kitties that need a place to stay! Takes two people to put together. Seems flimsy but the cats haven't broke it yet so I consider it a win.

TLDR: Straightforward assembly, sturdy panels, plenty big for two large cats, zip ties provide critical structural support. This shelter comes as a box of square panels with plastic connectors for the corners that are either flat on one side or round for the middle pieces. There are three open squares for additional internal support. The panels are very sturdy, and fit nicely together into the connectors, but a large number of zip ties also hold the panels together to ensure they don't slip out of the connectors - we had one floor panel that we missed securing during assembly with the zip ties, and it came loose when a cat jumped on it, but an easy fix to add more zip ties. It's really just worth noting that zip ties are a major part of the structural support, but if you snip the ends after securing, you dont notice them, and they seem to work for now. We assembled this in about 30 minutes (2 adults, somewhat assisted by chuldren). Our cats, who are medium and large, completely bypassed the ladders, and since they seemed to provide more of an obstacle than a help, we removed them. They also didn't want the use the hammock - it was somewhat awkward for them to get into, so we took that out too. Even the large one is comfortable sitting in a square. They have plenty of room to share the shelter, climb around, and get a good view. You are provided with little "door latches" that are essentially just large jewelry latches. There is no way to secure them to the door so they don't just fall off, so I attached them to a chain myself.

I have 3 cats and the eldest is harassed by the younger 2. I bought this thinking I might have to put the younger 2 in to allow the older cat some peace but the older cat seems to like the cage as his protection even though I keep the door open. Periodically I will see all of my 3 cats in at different times as the window has a view of a bird feeder and birdbath. I have since removed the hammock as none of my cats have any interest in it. I'm really a normal person but this literally took me 8 hours to ensemble (and some swearing) as the instructions are only line drawings with no text. I had to take apart some of what I had ensembled because of the interior panels which I installed incorrectly. You have to study the line drawings longer than anticipated. The zip ties are a must or the structure will wobble and the cage panels will 'pop' out of the corner pieces. I did not install the ladders, which are more appropriate for birds than cats, and so far the plastic covered panels have held up but I will have to dissemble most of the cage to get to the panels if they require repair. I had success by securing the structure with the zip ties by level as I built it up once I was certain that I had the correct panels in place. So far after 2 months the cage is working well with my 3 cats but time will tell as to the longevity. I'm undecided about the cost and whether I can recommend this mostly because of how difficult it was to ensemble without proper instructions. I could have purchased a smaller structure and perhaps my review would have more stars.

If you are like me you read the 5 stars and the one star. So far I am LOVING this product. So why would I give it 1 ⭐ star? Because of the hooks on the hammock. I have a few kittens. I saw one jump in the hammock and the hook came flying off. So I attached it with a zip tie. Then the second one broke. Do not put the hammock up without reinforcements. I used zip ties on all 4 hooks. Five stars for the construction! It took a while and patience. My husband said our adult cats would never go in but they do!! I was concerned about the "flooring panels" Kittens scratch at everything. So far so good. They have not put ANY wholes in them (I can't say the same for my leather chairs) Overall, get this product, but don't trust you baby in the hammock with the clips provided.

This is great! My cat loves hanging outside in this and sunbathing. It was a little tedious to put together, and after putting it together i realized there was a video instruction, which was a lot easier to watch, instead of reading the directions. It snows where i live, so had to dismantle it, and that was super easier to do. Really glad i bought this so my indoor cat can hang outside. I defiantly would recommend.

The hammock clamps were horrible (it’s free so yk) however the cage itself 10 out of 10! My cats are the most mischievous duo and they can not get out! And I love that because it’s always at night they start f***ing my s*** up… but this cage has been my night savior!!! Thank you! I 1000% recommend this cage not only for its durability but also my cats are having the best time and I couldn’t be more of a happy cat mom that I know they’re safe and not doing anything crazy but they are happy ❤️ and that’s all I can ask for!

It was very difficult to assemble, and I added many additional zip ties to hold it together. I was hopeful this cage would provide my two large cats a comfortable place. but realized that they were not comfortable in the small spaces, and they were too heavy for the flimsy material (one panel ripped on first day). It was very soon when I realized the online photo of the person who was partially inside the cage must have been a very tiny person indeed. I'm a small woman, but there is no way I could get in there to clean and conveniently change bedding...etc. I ended up putting it on the street. I think the large disposal truck picked it up.
