Ottawa – the beautiful capital city of Canada – is a stunner of a city. And, as with many cities in Canada that have a growing population (and whose residents are residing more often in condos or apartments near work) – there are a lot of cat lovers! Cats make an ideal pet for anyone who works outside the home, as they are highly independent. We want to help all you cat lovers find the best and most wonderful gift for your young or old cat, Ottawa cat trees.
A cat tree is a piece of furniture intended for use by your pet cats. But, some people worry: “Will my cat even use a cat tree?” To set your minds at ease, our cat adores his little cat tree perch, and all of our friends who have a similar tree find that their cats love them just the same. If your pets are indoors-only cats, then it’ll be a particularly good idea to invest in a cat tree. That way your cat can play, climb and hide on the cat tree, just like he or she would outside!
Ottawa Cat Trees – Pet Stores
Critter Jungle, located at 1405 Carling Avenue, has a selection of cat furniture, and kitty carriers for taking them to their dreaded visit to the vet! Sorry kitties. This locally owned, family run business is a cool one to support if you prefer those options rather than a large national chain.
Pet Circus has been an established Ottawa presence since the 70’s! On their website you can take a virtual tour (how cool is that?), and while doing so I saw a few pieces of cat furniture! Often, independent stores like this one are willing to special order in a cat tree or cat tower that suits your needs if they don’t have it in stock. Located at 274 Bank Street in Ottawa, On. And on weekends there’s nearby free parking!
Favourite Cat Trees on Amazon
Okay, let’s admit that sometimes, just sometimes we are every bit as lazy as our cats! Hey, maybe it’s our mutual laziness that helps us bond. In any case…in this age of online shopping we have become accustomed to just grabbing our gadget to make a purchase. If you love shopping online, then these are a couple of our favourite cat trees you can find on Amazon right now.
5 star Rated! ***** carpet-covered Cat Tree – Very sturdy medium sized cat tower
Just look at this beauty by Yunique! I chose this one because it is entirely covered in heavy-duty carpeting, rather than the soft fabric type material that a lot of cat trees and towers are now being made in. I think the carpet will be more durable – in fact, I can say that personally, as that mini cat tower/perch we have for Milo (that I mentioned earlier in this article) has endured a LOT over the years! And it’s still standing. I think the carpet covering really helps with durability.
Okay, but on to THIS particular beauty of a cat tree. Here are the features I love:
- Price! Under $50.00 at time of writing, it is currently sitting at $45.99. (But, we have to mention that prices can change at any time.)
- 5-star rating
- Sturdy construction design. And that aforementioned carpet.
- It’s GREEN! Okay, I realize this may either be a selling point for you, or not so much. Ha! But I love the cool, natural green of this cat tree. I like that it looks a bit unique, but not too out there if you know what I mean. And the hammock is in a dusty-rose/pink color that I also happen to love.
- A good, medium sized tree. Depending on whether you count the hammock as a separate level or not, this one has 3 or 4 levels. Enough to be of real interest and benefit to your cat buddy, but not too huge either.
- A cat cave/condo built right into the middle.
- A cute kitty hammock on the side, ideal for afternoon snoozes.
Amazon Basics — Super sturdy Large Cat Tree/Condo
This AmazonBasics triple platform indoor cat tree is a continual favourite around here. Why? It is so beautifully constructed, with quality carpeting, and SO MANY fantastic tall scratching posts for your cat to scratch away on. And, the perch at the top of the posts will be a wonderful spot for cats to jump up and play, or snuggle down and have a very necessary cat nap. You know, if they don’t nap a dozen times a day, it wasn’t all that successful a day for them. Ahh, to be a cat, right!?
Current price is $93.60, but can change at any time.
