Custom Listing for Kathy – The Expedition Cat Condo

Description

***This is a custom listing for Kathy. This version of the Expedition will exclude one Planter Shelf and one 18″ Hammock. This will include a 34″ Shelf with Plush Bed.***

This Condo is a more compact version of the Juggernaut with a few special additions. We are really excited about this layout’s fun, unique, and functional design!

When we create new layouts, one of the most important factors we consider is the route that cats can take throughout the Condo. The Expedition features a Leaf Shelf Connector halfway up the Scratching Pole. This allows your cat to make a full circle around the structure both clockwise and counterclockwise. By design, there are no dead ends which helps prevent any cats from getting cornered. In turn, this reduces scuffles between cats.

The Expedition was designed with activity in mind, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t options for resting as well. The 50” Bridge connects the Scratching Pole to the rest of the Condo, and this is a ver popular lounging spot.

The Scratching Pole includes extensions on both ends. The bottom segment allows cats to reach the Pole from the floor. They can also use this segment in passing to scratch, stretch, or quickly climb to the top of the structure.

This Condo includes a Planter Shelf, but plants are not included. You can add any cat-safe plants to this pot to achieve your desired look. Here are a few plant options that work well with this Condo: Spider Plant, Lemon Butter Fern, Cat Nip, Cat Grass, Variegated Wax Plant, Lilyturf, and Boston Fern 

Interested in building on to the structure?
The cat furniture is modular, so you can make many changes to the design to best fit your wall or cat’s needs.  Simply remove the plank top from any Mounting Planks and replace the top with items like Scratching Poles, Cat Shelves, Feeders or Planters.  If you’re interested in building a custom layout, check out our mounting tip guide.

Are your studs 24″ apart?

Our products are designed to mount into studs spaced 16” apart but can easily be modified for 24” studs! If you are looking to work with a stud spacing other than 16”, please contact us before you place your order. We can provide instructions on how to modify each Condo for 24” spacing, as well as how to work with alternate/irregular stud spacings. Please note that additional materials may be required for a modified layout. 

Replacement Sisal Segments

Our Scratching Poles provide a healthy outlet for cats to use their claws. Your cats can scratch and stretch in a constructive setting, keeping your furniture safe!

Bear in mind that although we have the sisal rope glued in place, their purpose is to be scratched which will cause them to show wear and tear over time. These sisal pole sections can be easily replaced by simply removing two furniture bolts, without taking other furniture down from your cat’s wall. If you have a cat who favors scratching, then your segments will be worn through quicker, but this all depends on the activity level of your cat.

Replacement segments can be found by clicking here.

Please keep in mind that when you install any of our wall-mounted cat furniture you are accepting the risk of a cat falling off, and potentially hurting themselves. We have done extensive testing to develop features to prevent this such as additional traction on the top of our bamboo pieces, appropriate width for all Hammocks and Shelves, and offering Cork Pads for grip. Although we try our best to accommodate all cats, every cat is different and you will know your cat and their capabilities the best. If you have an older cat who may be clumsy or less agile, we recommend starting with furniture that is mounted closer to the ground to avoid possible accidents.

Please also bear in mind that with roped Cat Bridges, there is slightly more potential for accidents. After selling more than 8000 Cat Bridges over the last nine years, we can confidently say that we have only heard of one occurrence of a cat getting tangled in the rope. Thankfully, the cat was perfectly fine after the experience. Due to this feedback, we wanted to add a disclaimer to our Bridges so that all customers can make an informed purchase.
