No one likes to smell litter boxes, but owning a cat, comes with that one messy caveat. So let's throw your cat's litter box into a cat litter box enclosure, and save yourself from those odors. Your cat will love the privacy while they do their business, and you will love that the litter, and other things, don't get all over the place. A clean solution to a dirty, often smelly, problem.

Gatsby Outdoor Cat House
Archie & Oscar™
What we like: Big enough for multi-cat households
What we don’t like: More expensive than most competitors
This big, beautiful cat house is just over 45” high and 34” long. It has three levels, each of which is large enough even for big domestic cats. It’s sure to provide ample entertainment for your furry family members since there’s room to play in addition to serving as an outdoor cat litter box enclosure.
The window for the top floor swings outward for easy litter box cleaning. If you want to clean the whole unit at once, the large right-side door swings all the way open as well. All the doors can be latched into their closed positions for added safety.
This is a great investment for serious cat owners who plan on having many cats over time. It’s also great if you have a farm where cats help keep mice away.

Elliana Solid Wood Cat House Waterproof Outdoor 2 Floor Villa
Tucker Murphy Pet™
What we like: Two spacious levels protected by cat flaps
What we don’t like: Wood is somewhat thin
With two beautiful color options available, this beautiful cat house is great for discerning cat enthusiasts. The 66 lb. weight limit means it’s appropriate for multi-cat households. The exterior shelves are large enough to help cats climb inside but don’t stick out far enough to break off easily.
The middle roof panel lifts up for easier access to the wide area on the second story. Even though the roof has multiple panels, it’s designed with overlap between the panels to prevent rain leaks. The elevated legs also keep the first story off the ground without creating a tip hazard or compromising the structure’s overall strength.

GUTINNEEN Feral Cat House with Escape Door Outdoor Enclosure
GUTINNEEN
What we like: Two levels and a ramp connecting them for easy access
What we don’t like: Not as much room as expected for a litter box
Although this house is designed for fully outdoor cats, it’s also perfect for indoor/outdoor cats who need a place to play and use the restroom. There is more room for the outside litter box on the second level, where the top easily lifts off to reveal a floor with a ramp built into it.
The multiple access points make it easier for cats to flee from predators if needed. The solid wood construction is durable without compromising aesthetics, so it will look right at home on your patio. It’s also easy to move, thanks to the lockable wheels on each leg.

ROCKEVER Outdoor Cat Shelter with Escape Door Rainproof Outside Kitty House
XIAMEN ZHAOZHAO TRADING CO., LTD
What we like: Removable floor for easy cleaning
What we don’t like: Only large enough for one litter box
This litter enclosure is a single-story unit, but it has an escape door and an attached flower box to help it blend in better with your yard. The roof lifts up easily for cleaning, and the wall includes a few acrylic-covered peepholes to help you monitor the inside. You can even uncover one of the peepholes to run an electric cable through it for a heating pad if you need to use it as a long-term shelter instead of a litter enclosure.
The shelter’s feet are adjustable to make it easier to use on uneven surfaces. Despite all these features, the shelter is reasonably priced and durable. It’s great for image-conscious households that want an attractive option without having a giant cat house visible.

PawHut Raised Wooden Pet House for Rabbits, Cats, & Other Small Animals
What we like: Inexpensive and charming design
What we don’t like: No-frills and no space for play
The red exterior of this pet house evokes memories of farm life, but it works for an outdoor cat litter box on any kind of property. The strong waterproof roof makes it work great as a waterproof litter box enclosure or just a place for an outdoor cat to stay cozy and warm.
It is elevated off the ground for better insulation and safety but includes a front ramp to allow easier access for older cats who need to use the litter box outside. The front door latches closed if you need to temporarily stop using the pet house or keep other animals out at night.
Although it’s small, it gets the job done well. It’s good for single-cat families who already have plenty of other spaces for their cat to play outdoors. It also works well as a litter box for sunrooms and screened-in porches.

PawHut 2 Story Solid Wood Cat House Condo Shelter with Sisal Ramp
What we like: Sisal ramp is great for scratching
What we don’t like: Litter box only fits easily on top level for small cats
This stylish cat house is a beautiful addition to any patio and works well for enclosed patios as an outdoor litter box for indoor cats. The contrasting trim and roof colors add lots of charm without taking away from its overall durability. It’s smaller than many other models, but it works perfectly for small cats who prefer cozy spaces.
The roof on the top level is high enough to allow homeowners to slide a thin litter tray into place. This leaves the lower level free to act as a cave-like enclosure for shy cats. Its overall design is similar to a Laskie litter box enclosure, so it’s a popular choice.
