These Hand-Made Cat Trees Will Give Your Cat An Outdoor Experience

Spread the love

In 2008, Shelley and Joe DelRocco built a treehouse for their cats. The Florida-based husband and wife duo liked the whole process (and result) so much, they began making them for other people as well. Pretty soon, everything grew into a business, and today they sell their designs to cat owners all over the States and beyond. A huge part of their success can be attributed to one particular feature their products share. Trees.

That’s right, while most indoor cat condos and scratchers don’t look anything like the great outdoors, Shelley and Joe constantly improve their designs, with a clear goal in mind: to provide the most lifelike natural environment for cats to enjoy indoors. And, combining their love for animals with Joe’s experience in building homes, they’re killing it!

“Our real cat tree with leaves is designed to focus on your cat’s true nature, bringing out your cat’s primal instincts,” the DelRoccos said. “This method helps reduce captive stress and encourages your cat to stretch and scratch on the gnarled branches, bark, lichen and all.”
