Before you buy

Will my cat fit?

Our standard cave suits most adult cats. Each one is shaped by hand, so dimensions vary slightly — here's the typical guide.

  • External size~50cm wide × 32cm tall
  • Entrance opening~18–20cm
  • Best for cats up to~7kg / 15lb
  • Weight~1.8kg — holds its shape
  • Material100% New Zealand wool

Most adult cats up to 7 kg fit comfortably. For larger cats, contact us before ordering.

Handmade variation means each cave is slightly unique in shape and size.

The honest comparison

Why a wool cave beats an ordinary pet bed

Most cat beds are mass-produced from synthetic foam and plastic. Ours are felted by hand to last — and to belong in your home.

Nepalese women artisans hand-felting wool cat caves

Hand-felted in Nepal.

Himalayan Cat Caves began with a simple disagreement: cats deserve better than disposable plastic, and homes deserve better than ugly pet furniture. Each cave is hand-felted by skilled, fair-trade Nepalese artisans from 100% New Zealand wool — no two are exactly alike. Most orders ship direct from Kathmandu, and from local stock in the US, Australia or Europe when we have it.

WHY WOOL WORKS

Why wool works

Natural wool does more than look beautiful — it helps cats feel secure, keeps homes fresher, and holds its shape over time.

  • Dense Felt Structure

    For your cat: creates a soft, enclosed space that feels secure and helps reduce outside stimulation.

    For your home: holds its sculptural shape beautifully, so it looks like décor — not just a pet bed.

  • Naturally Lanolin-Rich

    For your cat: the natural texture and scent of wool feel warm, familiar and comforting.

    For your home: wool is naturally odour-resistant and less likely to hold onto dirt than synthetic materials.

  • Thermal Regulation

    For your cat: helps keep cats cosy in winter and comfortable in warmer weather.

    For your home: durable and resilient for everyday use, with less flattening over time.

Something extra for playtime.

Plastic-free wool toys your cat will actually chase — hand-felted in Nepal, safe to bat, bite and carry. The easy add-on that completes any cave or bed. Add a few to reach your free-shipping threshold. 30-day guarantee on every order.

My cat moved in immediately

Within five minutes she was curled up inside and purring. The wool smells natural and it holds its shape beautifully — best cat purchase I've made.

Beautifully made

Arrived faster than expected. The craft is obvious — you can see the hand-felting. Very heavy and dense, not flimsy like the cheap ones online. Cat loves it.

Worth every cent

The quality justifies the price. It looks like a piece of art in my living room — and the cat sleeps in it every single night.
