About $700 and some salvage for the materials. Too many hours.

It does not look like much in the way of materials, but it all adds up fast!
You probably could have gone down to tractor supply and picked a kit for $400 or so, but it is made of wood only slightly thicker than cardboard and would not have the open floor.
I need to do something like this for my cat who wants to be an outdoor cat.
TS ones, in addition to being made of cardboard, at that price point aren't built to be moved.
There is a lever mechanism you can get for the tires so it can make ground contact. Otherwise a cat would escape through the gap in this in 30 seconds.
