Abstract: A novel animal shelter or habitat is constructed from substantially rigid foam insulation for protecting a small pet from extreme temperatures outdoor or in semi-protected locations. The habitat preferably comprises side walls, a roof and floor constructed from rigid foam board, and has an appropriately sized portal on one side to minimize heat loss, thus providing for rapid warming and comfort via the retention of the animals own body heat.

Abstract: A novel animal shelter or habitat is constructed from substantially rigid foam insulation for protecting a small pet from extreme temperatures outdoor or in semi-protected locations. The habitat preferably comprises side walls, a roof and floor constructed from rigid foam board, and has an appropriately sized portal on one side to minimize heat loss, thus providing for rapid warming and comfort via the retention of the animals own body heat. The rigid foam insulation on a side surfaces is preferably protected by an overlapping layer of vinyl sheet material. The construction provides for securing cushions or pillows over at least one of the interior or exterior horizontal surfaces, the cushion providing additional warmth and comfort so that the feline or other small pet readily adapts to the structure as their permanent habitat.
