Is a wool cat cave safe for cats?

Yes. Himalayan Cat Caves are made from 100% New Zealand wool with azo-free, non-toxic dyes. No glue, plastic or synthetic fibres are used. The dense wet-felted wool is safe if a cat chews or licks the surface, and natural lanolin resists bacteria and odour.

How do I clean a wool cat cave?

Spot clean with cool water and a wool-safe soap, then air-dry away from direct heat. Use a lint roller or vacuum brush weekly to remove cat hair. For a deeper clean, hand-wash in cool water, reshape the dome while damp, and air-dry flat. Do not machine wash — it distorts the felted shape.

What size cat cave do I need?

Standard caves are 50 cm wide, 32 cm tall, with a 20 cm opening — suitable for most cats up to 7 kg. Kittens and small breeds fit easily. For larger breeds such as Maine Coon or Ragdoll, contact Himalayan Cat Caves before ordering to confirm the best fit.

What if my cat won't use the cave?

Every cave comes with a 30-Day Cat Acceptance Guarantee. If your cat does not take to it within 30 days of delivery, contact Himalayan Cat Caves to arrange a return or exchange. The cave must be clean and undamaged. Return shipping is at the customer's cost unless the item is faulty or incorrect.

How long does a wool cat cave last?

With regular spot cleaning and occasional reshaping, a well-made wet-felted wool cat cave typically lasts 3 to 5 years of daily use. Natural lanolin in the wool helps the cave resist compression and maintain its dome shape over time.
