Best Cat Playpens of 2025

"I’m really happy with the Pet Puppy Dog Playpen! It's well-constructed and feels sturdy. It gives me peace of mind knowing my 13lb dog is secure. The playpen is super easy to fold up and store, fitting easily into my luggage. It takes only a minute to set up and put away. The size is perfect, giving my pup room to move around without feeling cramped. Plus, the pink color is beautiful! I’d definitely recommend it to any dog owner."

"I ordered this playpen for my 9-week-old Havanese puppy. It’s roomy and tall enough that she can't jump out. Setting it up was a breeze, and it’s sturdy enough to handle her puppy tantrums. Cleaning is easy too—any potty accidents are simple to wipe up. Overall, it’s both pretty and practical, especially for travel or when I need to contain her. I highly recommend it!"

"I cannot say enough good things about this 'Love's Cabin.' My dog is 17+ and loves it. I keep her bed inside, and she feels cozy and safe. The mesh sides allow her to see out, and there’s plenty of headroom. I keep it zipped for safety, and she spends most of her day in there. This product is truly well-made and useful!"

"I found this playpen to be functional and easy to clean. It's perfect for travel and made from quality material. I used it to help integrate my new kitten, and it has enough space for both my 5.5 lb kitten and my 13 lb cat. There's no assembly required, just flip it open, which is a huge plus for me. However, I wouldn’t leave it unattended outdoors due to the mesh quality, but overall, it serves its purpose well."

"I was excited to use this for my kitten, but the zippers are quite flimsy. The top cover zipper is faulty and doesn't close properly, which is disappointing. Despite this, I still use it as an open play area for my kitten. I just wish the zippers were sturdier."

"I bought this for my puppy as a safe space when I'm busy. It fits easily in my backpack, is lightweight, and simple to clean. However, I’ve had some trouble with it closing in on him too easily, which has caused some panic. While I wish it could stay open better, I appreciate its convenience for travel."

"When we adopted our energetic kitten, Miso, we quickly realized that keeping her entertained and safe was a challenge. The Tailtastic Pet Playpen with its surround tunnel was a fantastic solution. It was a hit during our family barbecue! Miso loved darting in and out of the tunnel, and the breathable mesh allowed her to feel included while staying secure. Our guests enjoyed watching her antics, and now it’s affectionately called 'Miso's Adventure Zone' in our house. We can't imagine how we managed before this!"

"I bought this for my 7-month-old kitten to keep him confined during work hours. There's enough space for a litter box, toys, and a water dish. He enjoys the tunnel, but I've faced some issues. The mesh tunnel is easily chewed through, and he has escaped a few times. I wouldn't recommend it for more than one or two cats, especially outside. Despite these little problems, my cats enjoy it, and I often find them napping inside!"

"I got this playpen for my foster kittens. It's been a helpful tool for crate training and keeps them contained better than metal crates. It’s easy to set up and holds up well to the abuse from playful kittens. It washes fine, although I’m not sure it’s meant for that. Overall, it’s functional and a great choice!"

"I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner! It's perfect for our rescue kitten. The strong netting and deep design prevent him from climbing out. The trapezoid shape offers maximum play space while keeping it stable. It's lightweight, easy to assemble, and the litter box enclosure is impressive. It keeps the mess off the floor and stops our dog from getting in. This has been great for introducing our kitten to the other cats and letting him experience sounds and kids playing in a safe environment. Totally worth it!"

"I used this for my cat who broke her paw, and it was a lifesaver. It's spacious enough for her scratching post and bed, allowing her to stretch out comfortably. I loved the separate space for the litter box, which kept her away from it. Cleaning is easy, although she did have an accident that was tough to clean up. I recommend putting a puppy pad under the litter box to avoid that issue. Overall, she was very comfortable during her six weeks of recovery. I would recommend this product to any cat owner with an injured cat!"

"My cat absolutely loves this tent! I bought it for emergencies, and it's secure enough to keep her safe while giving her plenty of room for the litter box. It's straightforward to set up, and the strong netting ensures her safety. I'm really glad I made this purchase!"

"I love this product! We initially bought it for traveling with our two 5-pound poodles at the hotel, but now we use it at home too. It's perfect for keeping them contained with their little bed and blankets, making it their cozy nap area. It folds up easily with an elastic strap for travel. Overall, it's a great quality for the price!"

"This playpen works very well for my 5lb Chihuahua rescue. It keeps her contained and close to me. The zipper top is handy since she can jump out. It might not be as effective for larger dogs, but for my little one, it’s perfect!"

"Ultimately, this is a decent product. The size is just right, and while the material is a bit thin, it does the job. I did have issues with the zippers breaking, which was disappointing, but I managed to fix it. For the price, it’s good enough."

"My babies love this tent. Easy to assemble and well worth the price. The seller was nice to work with, and the product matched the description perfectly. It's a cute idea for indoor cats, and I love how well-made it is. The material offers an interesting adventure for my cats, allowing them to use their claws safely. I absolutely recommend it!"

"When I received this tent, I noticed there were no instructions included. The assembly was tricky with the rods, but once I figured it out, the tent turned out to be fairly sturdy. My cat loved it, especially the crinkling sound, but I’m concerned about how long it will last since I can hear her clawing at it. Overall, it’s been fun while it lasts!"

"I think this tent is great for outdoor use! It's lightweight, portable, and has decent construction, plus it comes with its own carrying case. I was looking for something to take my cats outside, and this definitely serves that purpose well!"

"I found the quality of the fabric to be very good, with a strong zipper door. The size is just perfect for my growing family of fur babies."

"For my 9 puppies and their mom, this playpen has been a wonderful solution. It's easy to clean and keeps them safe and warm. An excellent deal for the price!"

"The playpen was great for my 2 puppies, but I had trouble getting the covers to fit. Despite that, I'm keeping it because I still use it."

“I hang out outside often, and my cat would just stare at me through the window, which made me sad. I bought this playpen for her to join me outside, and I absolutely love that it's collapsible and easy to store. She enjoys it so much that we keep it out in the house now. I even put the tunnel under our Christmas tree to keep her away from the branches, and she seems to have claimed it as her own! I’m really happy with this purchase; it brings her so much joy!”

“I purchased this outdoor catio for my Torti, and I found the assembly to be easy. Once it was set up, she quickly started to explore. I love that I can create a circle tunnel or a longer extension. However, on the fourth day, while she was playing, the enclosure got knocked over and she got a bit scared. It's important to be outside with her when using it, and I plan to secure it to the ground. Nonetheless, she still loves it, so I’m giving it four stars.”

“I got this for my indoor cats to enjoy some outdoor time. They really love it, especially the tube, and even use it indoors. It's compact and easy to fold up, making it a great little catio! I’m very pleased with this purchase.”

"I find this cat playpen to be a fantastic solution for keeping my feline friend both separated and engaged. The spacious design and high-quality materials are impressive, although I have some concerns about its durability against scratching. The quick opening mechanism and ease of assembly are standout features for me, and placing a weight at the base has helped prevent any shifting."

"The quality of this playpen is very poor. I have an older cat who isn’t very active, so I’ll keep it until I find something better, but I wouldn’t recommend it for any active cat or kitten. While the size is perfect, it feels quite flimsy."

"I absolutely love this cat playpen! I rescued a kitten that I bottle-fed, and the playpen has been perfect for him. I placed a heated bed and a small litter box in the attached area when he was old enough. I appreciate that I can fold it up and move it from room to room. I would definitely buy it again!"

"I found setup extremely easy, taking only about 10-15 minutes to assemble everything. The support rods feel sturdy, and the material is thicker than expected. I appreciate that one of the tents has a cover, giving my cats a chance to hide if they want. The playpen is definitely more spacious than I anticipated, which is great for their comfort. I plan to use it for traveling and outdoor play during the warmer months. If I could change one thing, I would prefer a roll-up door for the smaller tent, similar to the larger one. Overall, it’s a great value for the price."

"My cat absolutely loves this playpen! I set it up on our upstairs balcony, and now I don't have to worry about him making poor decisions while bird watching. The fabric holds up well against the weather, and the zippers are easy to use. I only dropped a star because I wish there was a bit more mesh fabric for a wider viewing area, as the current design feels a bit closed in."

"This portable cat playpen is just amazing! The 3-in-1 design with the tunnel and two separate rooms keeps my kittens both entertained and safe. They enjoy exploring and napping within the enclosed spaces. The waterproof bottom makes cleaning up a breeze, and it’s lightweight for easy storage or travel. I use it indoors and outdoors, and it holds up great in either setting—it's spacious, durable, and versatile!"
