We wanted to create a litter box 'outhouse' that would blend in with our décor and be a beautiful piece we could cherish! Our Cat house houses a little box, hook for hanging the scooper and a large swing open and heavy duty holding hinges on the front panel that makes accessing the litter box inside a breeze. We put a sliding barn door on the outside to create this beautiful piece that will be the most talked about furniture in your home. We don't skimp with off the shelf hardware, but designed it all in house and chose heavy duty ball bearing wheels for the tracks. Door brackets are laser cut as well and have a rustic look. Track is aluminum. Wood is all solid and not plywood or particleboard.
You can see a video of our cat box here: https://pin.it/5y7gOxN
We can have the front hinge open as shown, or have the top hinge open instead if you'd like (check our other listing). Mats, plastic litter box and scooper are not included.
Sizes listed are just suggestions and dimensions are external overall sizes. Interior space will be roughly 2" smaller on the width, 3" smaller on depth and 3.5" smaller on the height. Sizes listed are just suggestions. If you'd like your box in a different size let me know.
One option above shows a second level inside the box with steps going up to it. This was a custom request from a customer who had two cats so she wanted two separate litter box areas. If you'd like something similar, please ask and we can design it to suit your needs.

Included with the crate is a stain of your choice. We can do one for the body and a separate one for the top, or all the same. Track and bars will be aluminum (silver color) with matching silver handles. Barn doors can be had with an X, a slash or shaker style. Crate sits on high quality screwed down rubber feet made in the USA.
