6 Piece Cat Wall Shelf Set with Condo, Hammock, Feeding Station and Steps

A cat lands on a shelf with several times its own weight behind it. Fixings driven into plasterboard alone pull out of the board, usually months later and usually with a cat on the shelf.

The maker names the walls its fixings are made for and says plasterboard needs special drywall expansion screws. On a stud wall, find the framing first: studs are commonly 16 inches on centre, sometimes 24, and every bracket that can reach one should be screwed into it.

What the six pieces are

A three step tower, an enclosed condo, a feeding station platform, two small steps and a padded hammock. Five different jobs across six brackets, which is the point of buying a set rather than five shelves of the same shape at five different heights.

The sizes that decide the layout

The condo is about 11.5 inches square and 12 inches tall with a 7 inch doorway, the step tower runs 37.5 inches, the hammock is 17.5 inches wide and the small steps are 6.5 inches. Those numbers are what you plan the wall around, because a jump a cat cannot make is a shelf it will not use.

Bowls off the floor

The feeding platform carries two stainless steel bowls that the maker states are dishwasher safe. Feeding at height is worth having in a house with a dog or a toddler, and stainless is the one bowl material that does not hold a smell after a year.

Read the wall before you buy

The maker lists the walls the supplied fixings suit, and states plainly that plasterboard is not one of them without special expansion screws. A wood panel wall takes the screws directly. This is the single thing that decides whether the set is safe on your wall or not.

The whole set lives on the wall, so a cat gets height in a room where a base 23 inches across would be in the way of everything.

Food bowls and a bed above jumping height give a cat somewhere the dog cannot follow, which is the usual reason the two stop getting along.

Brick, block and concrete take the supplied fixings directly. On plasterboard the set needs the right expansion screws or a stud behind every bracket.

What is in the set?

Six pieces: a condo, a three step tower, a padded hammock, a feeding station platform with two bowls and two small steps.

How tall is the step tower?

37.5 inches over its three steps.

Can I fit it to a plasterboard wall?

Not with the standard fixings. The manufacturer states that drywall needs special drywall expansion screws, and the safest approach is to hit the studs behind it.

How far apart should the shelves be?

Twelve to eighteen inches of rise between steps suits most adult cats. Shorten the gaps for a kitten, a senior or a heavy cat.

Are the bowls dishwasher safe?

Yes, the manufacturer states the stainless steel bowls can go in the dishwasher.

What weight will a shelf take?

No load rating is published for these pieces, so we do not state one.
