Cat Dryer System  

The Cat Dryer System is a self contained cage dryer that contains a tubular air distribution system.   The cat breeder, cat groomer, or cat owner will find this to be one of the best pieces of cat grooming equipment available.  The Cat Dryer System is affordable and portable dryer and does and excellent job of drying your pet compared to any of the other pet dryers I've tried over the past 30 years. Attached to the cage dryer is a Hurrycanine Mini Motor forced air dryer, that is a very effective tool for the cat groomer, dog groomer or any pet groomer.  This dryer makes grooming any cat, dog or pet a far more enjoyable experience.  Gently warmed air is evenly distributed throughout the Vari Kennel to completely dry the animal. Three air ducts on the inside top of the carrier, and three air ducts below the elevated floor grill assure that your pet is completely dry within the shortest time possible. There are approximately 125 air jets that gently circulate the warmed air in 16 different directions inside the drying enclosure.   Fully portable, the Cat Dryer System weighs about 30 pounds and has a carrying handle.  The Cat Dryer System is also known as the Pet Dryer System on another web site. This web site is designed so that cat breeders can find this Dryer easier.

Contents of Cat Dryer System:

1.  One Cat Dryer motor with 22 gage galvanized steel case and increased sound proofing for quieter operation.

2. One Cat Dryer Enclosure, fully assembled, complete with floor grate.

3. Air plenum tubes have been increased from 1" to 1 1/4", offering 36% improvement of air flow.  These improved air plenums are located in the center of the top and bottom of the kennel, and also go completely round the interior of the kennel, top and bottom.  This allows the air jets to dry the cat from virtually any angle within the drying enclosure.

4. Hose is no 1 1/2" x 8 1/2' in size. The increased diameter hose allows the motor to operate more efficiently.  Hose is made of flexible PVC, and has wire reinforcing for durability.

5. The combination of the increased hose diameter, and the increased air plenum size allows for greater air flow, less motor noise, and results in quicker drying of your cat.

6. One rubber air concentrator tool that attaches to the hose to allow for spot drying, if needed.

    Being a cat breeder since 1977, we know that cats and kittens do need to be bathed occasionally. We have tried many pet dryers over the years, all of which failed to thoroughly dry the cat or kitten. Many of these had heating elements that created too much heat. Some had poor air flow that took over 2 hours to dry an adult Ragdoll Cat. Some dryers attached to the drying cage door so that you could not see how the animal was drying, and you had to remove the dryer from the door to remove the cat.  Some sat directly in front of the cage door, and made it difficult to see the cat.  But worst of all, the dryers I used failed to dry the cat completely.      I finally decided to make my own dryer with the features that I knew would be needed to safely dry the cat or kitten.  And thus the Cat Dryer System was invented.  Click here for testimonials. The Cat Dryer System and the Pet Dryer System are the same unit, so any testimonial referencing the Pet Dryer System would apply to the Cat Dryer also.  The "sister site" www.petdryer.com has the same testimonials.

    The only other cage dryer that is close to my design can be seen at http://www.petedge.com/PetLift-Aqua-Dri-Cage-Dryer-Small-PL24009.pro This particular dryer currently sells for over $1000-$1100, and must be shipped by truck. Shipping expenses from NY to California are at least $125, and shipping takes 6-8 weeks time.   This other dryer weighs near 60 pounds, and has no carrying handle---so moving it is difficult.  I tried this particular dryer around 1984 (under a different brand name, but same patent design), and it was priced at $650 at that time. It has two squirrel cage blowers that deliver little air, and it took me 1 1/2 hours to dry one of my show cats at that time. My current dryer can do a better job of drying with the same type of cat in about 30-35 minutes. AND the Pet Dryer System is priced 50% less.  It can be delivered to your door in less than 2 weeks within the US.

    All of the Cat Dryer System can be contained inside the drying enclosure for ease of storage and portability.   See photo below, depicting old dryer hose. New 2007 model has larger diameter hose.

• Drying Enclosure and Hurrycanine Mini Dryer have sturdy carrying handles.
• Total weight of 30 pounds, which is about half of a similar dryer.

It has a carrying handle, a 10 foot power cord, and a 8 1/2 foot 1 1/2 inch delivery hose.  I have personally used a Hurrycanine dryer blower since 1992 at our Ragnarok Cattery, www.ragdoll.com where we raise our Ragdoll cats.  I have never had any problems with our dryer. It has a filter that is easy to clean. The Hurrycanine dryer motor measures 8 " wide X 8 " tall X 13 1/4" long.
• International 220 volt motors are available at no additional cost. The motor will come without a plug, and you will need to place the appropriate plug for your area on the cord of the motor. The 220 volt motor will also come with some extra parts: two extra air cleaners, two connecting collars, a set of motor brushes, and a honing stone so that brushes can be properly installed.  Please contact me for these shipments, as the cost of International shipment is higher than domestic shipment. Example: on 2/16/06 an insured shipment to Belgium cost $115.

• Ideal size for cats, kittens, small breed dogs, puppies, or other animals.
• Air concentrator tool included.
• Flexible usage: You can either leave the hose attached to the cage for use as a cage dryer, or quickly disconnect the hose, slip on the rubber air concentrator, and dry any damp spots that may need "fluffing".
• No heating elements to burn you or your animal.
• No heating elements to burn out and require replacement by a technician.
• Long cord and long air delivery hose offer very flexible usage. 14 gage wire with heavy insulation.

If any defect is found in the motor, Hurrycanine will FedEx a new one to you, and Fedex will return in two days to pick up the old motor for a prepaid return to the manufacturer.  Just contact Hurrycanine directly within a year from date of purchase if the motor is defective. I ran one of these motors for 9 years with NO problems at all, so defective motors are rare.
• Retail price of motor alone is $300 from Hurrycanine.

Below is a photo of how my Cat Dryer System is used in our cattery.  An example of how well is works is :

• I bathed two or our 9 week old Ragdolls a few days ago. 

• I towel dried both of them and placed them in the Dryer.

• I turned on a timer to see exactly how long it would take to dry them.

• WITHOUT any combing of the kittens coat, I checked them 15 minutes later and they were completely dry.  No wet armpits, no wet tails, and no wet tummies. The Cat Dryer System dried them completely. The air circulation design makes this possible.  I lightly brushed their coat, and then they went home with their new owners.  Below is a photo of the 2006 unit. Compare the size of the hose here and the hose in the top photo.  New units have industrial grade hoses.
