Review: Must have for kitten fostering - We have had this tent for a long time now and have used it many times when fostering kittens. We live in a small cottage & have 3 cats of our own. Every time we get a new batch of fosters, we have to quarantine them and get everyone used to each other. The tent makes that easy & convenient. If the kitties are feral, it gives them time to get used to the activity around them (sometimes we start out with parts of the tent covered, depending on how feral the felines are; we always provide a tunnel they can hide & play in). Note: If a cat/kitten is too feral, this tent's size allows the animal to cower in the back & there is no way to get to them without climbing in to get them (not a good situation). They can also totally freak out inside if not given enough privacy & time initially, so if we have a tiny or very feral animal, we usually start with a small playpen since it's easier to grab them to medicate/interact with (most pens let you get in from the top & side), but then we graduate them up to this tent so they have room to play. Once everyone is used to the new situation, we let the kittens out into the main area. They then love to climb on the outside of the tent, which acts as a kind of trampoline & sleeping hammock. This is great for kittens, but once over about 4lbs, they can hit the mechanism that closes it and the whole tent collapses. Obviously that is not a fault of the manufacturer, just putting it out there as a warning that there is a weight limit should you let the animals use it as a jungle gym. When we leave the house, we toss the kittens back in so we know everyone is safe & is easy to find when we return. We rarely use the tunnel part - it is quite large & just doesn't fit our situation. Others were complaining about not getting it to zipper to the tent but we didn't have that issue. Everything worked as expected. While the tent is large, we have made it work even in our small cottage. The size is what makes it so perfect - you can easily fit litter, food bowls, beds & toys & still allow some play area. We did end up with one small hole in it after a metal, spiral toy got caught up in the mesh, but it has taken a lot of abuse & held up beautifully. We've had cats try to claw/bite their way out & had kittens dangle from the inside by their nails while playing with other kitties outside on the top, and not once has there been a tear nor has a cat/kitten got tangled in it. Cleaning is a bit of a pain in the butt & it's possible to miss organisms that might be in the seams - (most of the kittens come with parasites - we live in the Caribbean), so it must be scrubbed down regularly with Rescue and/or bleach - but we just collapse it, bring it out on the deck, spray it, scrub it, hose it down, and leave it to dry in the sun before setting it all up again. We haven't yet had any issues setting up or putting away this tent & it easily fits under the bed when not in use. I highly recommend this if you foster animals of any kind or are introducing newly adopted pets to each other. It's a nice safe space while everyone adapts. We will be donating this one to the cat rescue we foster with here when we move back to the US in a few months and will be immediately buying another one for ourselves for future fosters. Review: Very Happy! (Me and the furry one) This tunnel DOES attach to the TENT! (Same brand) - I bought the tent, that went over very well. Kitty and I are trying to find compromises between indoor and outdoor. Came back to buy the tunnel and tower. Then I read about the tower not fitting larger animals (mine is large frame 14lbs- healthy) so I skipped that. I ordered the tunnel and got nervous when after (yes, yes always read reviews FIRST I know) I read that it did NOT attach to tent. OH NO!! It's not true. I'm not sure what other people are doing wrong, or if I got lucky (just ordered a second tunnel, so here's hoping!) but the tunnel fairly easily attaches. However, it only attaches on ONE END. So if you've tried one and don't see how, spin that baby around and try again! To the point: *Been using the tunnel daily for a couple of weeks. No issues. Folding up, pulling out. Pretty easy. Could do with some clamps to make getting into the bag easier, it wants to POP out and be useful all the time! =) This is easily solved though, just need some clips. *Tunnel DOES attach to tent. Bags hooked onto to tunnel to store extra doors, nice touch. *Zipper is easily secured by using one of the bag strings (they're sturdy) and looping it the another bag or the ties attached. You'll see. Not at all tricky. *Unlike the tent bag, which is a chore to get the tent back into (The tent it self is great!) this bag is nice and roomy. In fact, I was able to squeeze both the tent and the tunnel into it. Tent sticks out of the top, but it's a lot easier than trying to get into it's own bag. Very happy with this! I would like to see more to add on. A cross section. A better tower than can support larger cats. I'd probably buy it all until my yard just looked like some deranged maze. Sorry neighbors! At least it all packs away with ease. UPDATE: Here we are almost two years later and here's what I can tell you: We still love these products and will buy more. I've gone through 5 tunnel sections and two tents over the last (almost) two years. The first tent couldn't take the weight of the snow so well and broke after a nasty storm, which is fair. I should've packed it away, but Kitty was still braving it so I let him have his fun. The tunnel sections have a major flaw IF they're on rough terrain - the yellow material scrapes off and boy do I mean fast! Other than that, they are very sturdy. Unfortunately once the yellow fabric comes off the wires are undone from the mesh and the whole tunnel starts to deform. I solved this by outdoor cord wrapping the wire and yellow fabric to the mesh. Just keep looping around and through. This thick outdoor cord allows the tunnel not to scrape on the ground thus saving the yellow fabric. It also better secures the wire to the mesh so the tunnel stays springy. It took FOREVER to wrap one section, but that section has now survived for over a year with NO damage to the yellow fabric. Here's the cord I used, it was a little thick to get through the mesh, but I worry that thinner cord would not protect as well. Coolaroo Shade Fabric Lacing Cord 80ft Black I will soon be testing the non-ABO duel opening tent to extend our gauntlet in the yard for kitty. RORAIMA outdoor use Instant Portable Cat Tent or Habitat with Rain Fly and Two Entrance for Indoor Cats, Air Ventilate Mesh Fabric Prevent Bugs, Size 75" L X 60" W X 36" H Black I'll update after and let you know how it worked out. If only ABO would expand!!! Longer sturdier tunnels, a tower that fits larger full grown cats, a duel opening tent like the one I'm about to take a chance on?...ah, but I've said this before. Finger's crossed. ## Features - ALLOWS INDOOR PETS TO SAFELY ENJOY A DAY IN THE SUN SAFE FROM PREDATORS – Perfect for everyday use on your deck, lawn, balcony, and more.

It has a mesh floor like the sides. I put a rug on the inside as the cats are not used to the feel of the mesh but they love this. I use it all the time for both my cats outside. I do have one cat that has claws that could damage it but has not done anything so far. So nice to be able to put them outside and not worry about them. **Q: How long is the tunnel?** A: Hi Kristen, when the tunnel is expanded to it's full length and height the dimensions are 62" X 17." It then collapses down back down and is secured by attached fasteners. Marc R **Q: what size is this** A: It's about 4.5 feet each side and a yard high. Description says: 74 x 63 x 36 inches **Q: does this tunnel have a zipper on each end to contain cats** A: yes, there are zippers at both ends....you can attached the tunnel to either the tent opening/closing or other tunnels to construct a "t" so that one opening/closure is used just to let the cat in & out at the other end. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for kitten fostering *by R***E on February 23, 2020* We have had this tent for a long time now and have used it many times when fostering kittens.

Our kitty is getting used to it after 2 "outings" *by R***7 on July 6, 2012* I have to say the tent itself is very well made, spacious and incredibly easy to set up. It arrived in a narrow long box. I took it out, pulled the string that attaches/snaps the thing into place and voila! Personally I think the mesh is pretty strong too - but I feel your cats claws should be at least slightly trimmed. Our cats were trimmed very short about a month ago and they've grown some since, but he hasn't torn it- thought he has tried! We got it today and have taken our cat outside twice for about 15-20 min each time. He seemed a bit uneasy the first time. He paced around like some caged tiger. Also he got scared by a loud car that drove past and started to head bunt the tent as if trying to escape! The second outing was a bit better. He didn't pace. He still looked a bit tentative but was able to relax a little more despite the loud children outside. I think there are moments where he forgets he is enclosed and suddenly tries to dart off- which of course means he crashes into the side. He bit at the tent and clawed a little, it didn't rip. Then he laid down for a while and seemed like he was more relaxed. I highly recommend putting treats, toys and something soft for your cat to lie on inside. I hope he starts to REALLY enjoy it. It's rather spacious (I fit inside!)and easy to setup so I hope he makes the most of it! We'll see- I'll write an update sometime :) P.S. I ordered early in the day and Amazon shipped it same day -AWESOME! UPDATE: After a few uses our cat seems to be more relaxed and is enjoying it. He took in the sights and later was laying down and playing with his toys. He didn't pace as much and didn't dart into the sides of the tent with his head anymore. I think it takes a bit of getting used to for some cats. Ours goes inside without a problem. He doesn't seem to want to be in for more than half an hour but he's starting to like it. I am glad because our house gets very warm and this gives him some fresh air. I do wish the mesh wasn't big enough for bugs to get in. Some flies got in. He had fun chasing them and stuff. I just don't want him to eat any (parasites!) but other than that I love this tent! It is SUPER easy to put up and take down. I take it down every night and just stick it in the shed. Easy - I hate anything that requires too much work hehe. ## Frequently Bought Together - Outback Jack Outdoor Cat Enclosures for Indoor Cats [Portable Cat Tent, Tunnel, and Playhouse] (Play Tents for Cats and Small Animals) - ITENT Collapsible Cat Play Tunnel + Cube with Three Ways for Indoor and Outdoor, Cat Enclosure, Tunnel and Tent Connection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3937635-product-image-outback-jack-outdoor-cat-enclosures-for-indoor-cats](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3937635-product-image-outback-jack-outdoor-cat-enclosures-for-indoor-cats) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
