Cats are agile creatures who love to leap from one piece of furniture to the next. You’ve probably found your cat lounging in high places like the top of the cabinets or even the refrigerator. Cats become bored just like humans, and if you don’t provide them with stimulation, they’ll find a way to entertain themselves at the expense of your belongings and furniture.

Purchasing a cat tree can solve your problems with property damage and allow your cat to lounge and play in a spot they can call their own. Cat trees come in all sizes and price ranges; top-of-the-line models can run $3,000! Selecting the perfect tree from thousands of options can be a dizzying experience, but we’ve performed some of the research and developed reviews on the ten best tall cat trees of this year.

A Quick Comparison of Our Favorites

The 10 Best Tall Cat Trees – Reviews & Top Picks 2024

1. FEANDREA Cat Tree, Large Cat Tower, 64.6 Inches – Best Overall

Our overall best tall cat tree is the FEANDREA Cat Tree. It’s designed for one or two large cats, and its features include one cave, one hammock, two large perches, three ball toys, and one sisal rope. We like the variety of features, affordable price, and design of the tree. It does not take up as much room as other models. The plush fabric provides a soft landing when your feline leaps from another platform, and your cat will love the removable rods at the top of the tree.

Each supporting pole is covered by rope and fabric to allow your cat to choose from several spots to dip its claws into. The FEANDREA tree includes an anti-tip kit that stabilizes the structure. The kit is similar to the straps used to stabilize dressers and cabinets to prevent tipping. Another nice detail is the wide comfy hammock. Some trees include a tiny hammock that only a kitten can use, but FEANDREA’s hammock can hold an overweight kitty without a problem. The tree’s assembly should take between 30 to 45 minutes.

2. PETEPELA Cat Tree 5-Tier Floor to Ceiling Cat Tower – Best Value

The PETEPELA Cat Tree won our best tall cat tree for the money award. The floor-to-ceiling design is undoubtedly the most stable design for cat trees. The tree has a tension rod that runs from the base platform to the ceiling. You can adjust the bar for different ceiling heights and attach it securely to the ceiling. Some of the other cat tree designs, especially ones without stabilizing kits, are prone to tipping when a big cat jumps off a platform.

You’re unlikely to have that problem with the PETEPELA. You can install the pole in the corner of the room for more stability, and you don’t have to stress about it being an eyesore in the living room. The slim design is unassuming and much easier to install than other brands. Although it contains five different-sized platforms, some of the smaller ones may be too small for large cats.

3. BEWSIHOME Cat Tree 66.3 Inch Multi-Level Large Cat Tower – Premium Choice

Our favorite premium choice tree is the BEWSIHOME 66.3 Inch Cat Tree. The massive structure can handle the antics of multiple cats, and the felines are unlikely to get restless with so much to do. The tree includes three top perches with raised edging, two comfy condos, sisal scratching posts, a hammock, and a basket. Installing the tree is simple and only requires using the Allen wrench included in the package.

Compared to other immense cat trees, the BEWSIHOME is more suitable for larger cats. The platforms are large enough for a chunky cat to rest comfortably without falling off the tree in their sleep. Several trees include cat condos for felines that like to hide in an enclosed space, but this model has two entrances to make exiting much more manageable. The manufacturer recommends placing the tree by a window or corner for more stability.

4. Go Pet Club 62-Inch Cat Tree – Best for Kittens

The Go Pet Club 62-Inch Cat Tree was our winner for the best tree for kittens. The tree features several sisal-covered scratching posts, hanging toys, a top platform, a ladder, a tiny kitty condo, a tunnel, and a ladder. Some of the larger trees are unappealing to small cats who aren’t skilled enough to make the long jumps, but the Go Pet Club tree’s platforms are arranged close together for easy access.

The cat condo and tunnel are too small for big cats, but they’re perfect for younger felines. The tree comes with tools and detailed instructions for assembly.

5. Furhaven Pet Furniture for Cats and Kittens

Furhaven’s Pet Furniture for Cats and Kittens is not your typical cat tree. It features a rope toy, spring wad toy, hanging ball toy, rope toy, cat ladder, dangling mouse toy, multiple platforms, cat condo, and a unique busy box. The busy box rests at the top of one of the platforms and contains several small circular cut-outs that your cat can reach in to play with the plastic balls inside.

Furhaven’s tree is one of the few designs that includes platforms and condos for cats and kittens. Small cats that like enclosed spaces may feel more exposed in a larger condo, but this one has a tiny condo for kittens and a large one for big cats. The top platforms are too small for massive felines, but the bottom-level platforms are wider and provide enough room for lounging. One of the drawbacks of the design is the instability of the top levels. Kittens aren’t heavy enough to fall off the top, but an adult cat can easily slip off the platform

6. On2 Pets Cat Tree with Leaves

If you’re looking for an unconventional cat tree that doesn’t clash with your interior design, you can tree the ON2 Pets Cat Tree with Leaves. It actually looks like a real tree, and you can put it anywhere in the house without it standing out like a foreign object. Your cat will feel like it’s back in the wilderness in the nook of a tree branch. The five-foot-tall tree features three carpeting platforms hidden by overhanging branches and leaves.

It’s ideal for homeowners who prefer a tree that doesn’t reach the ceiling. Compared to the more complex units, it’s incredibly easy to install. You can view the manufacturer’s installation video when you look at the product description, and you’ll be surprised how quickly you can assembly the tree. We loved the attractive, natural design, but we thought the tree trunks should have been covered with rope for scratching.

7. MQ Multi-Level Cat Tree

The MQ Multi-Level Cat tree features a sturdy wooden base, large jumping platform, removable hammock, basket lounger, three cushioned viewing platforms, and two caves. Each of the tree’s pillars has a section covered with sisal rope for scratching, and its caves are roomy enough for larger cats. The installation kit includes a strap that attaches to the wall to stabilize the unit.

The tree may be too massive for a single cat, but it’s great if you have several cats running around the house. One reviewer mentioned that he fit seven cats on the tree, and while that’s impressive, we recommend following the manufacturer’s weight limits and only using it for four cats or less. One of the problems of the tree’s design, which the manufacturer points out in the product description, is the fluffy toys that can be easily gnawed off. The note from the company warns that the elastic cord and ball toy should be removed entirely if the cat chews on them.

8. PETEPELA Cat Tower 5-Tier Floor to Ceiling

The PETEPELA Cat Tower includes five plush platforms, one round cat bed, and three rope-covered posts for scratching. The floor-to-ceiling design has a durable base and an adjustable tension bar to accommodate multiple ceiling heights. You can install the tower in ten minutes, and its compact design allows you to position it anywhere in your house. The round cat bed is perfect for kittens, and it’s positioned underneath a hanging ball toy for your little one to bat around.

The platforms have different dimensions, and the upper platforms are suitable for smaller cats and kittens, but large cats may struggle to stay balanced. If you’re trying to conserve space, the PETEPELA is a great option, but some customers complained that the posts are not as durable as similar models.

9. FEANDREA Cat Tree, Modern Cat Tower

When you’re searching for a cat tree with a modern look, you can check out the FEANDREA Cat Tree. It features three platforms, a comfy basket, a hanging ball toy, a wide scratching board, a modern-styled cat condo, and sisal-covered scratching posts. While some cat towers are designed to blend in with the furnishings with neutral colors, the FEANDRA tree makes a bold statement with the stained wood complemented by white fabric platforms.

Of all the trees we reviewed, it has the nicest looking condo and the largest scratching board. If you have a spoiled cat that’s particular about its hiding place, the feline is sure to love the box-shaped condo with stained wood panels. It’s not as tall as other towers, but it’s tall enough to give your cats a good view of the surroundings.

10. CatastrophiCreations Gardens Set for Cats

If you’re looking for a premium-level cat tree that attaches to your wall, you can try the CastrophiCreations Gardens Set for Cats. Unlike the other trees reviewed, the Garden Sets can be installed on your wall without touching the floor. The kit includes two escape hatches, four planters, one sisal post, two ladder pieces, and nine fabric pieces.

You can customize the design of the pieces to fit your wall, and the fabric can be removed for cleaning. It resembles a miniature obstacle course for kitties and includes four holders to place indoor plants. The plants may not be a good idea if your cat likes to gnaw on them, but if your cat behaves, the plants will add a stylish touch to the structure. The only problem with this product is the astonishing price tag.

Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Best Tall Cat Tree

Whether you have one wild cat or a group of energetic felines, buying a cat tree will keep your cats entertained and prevent damage to your belongings and furniture. Most cats like climbing and perching in high places, and a tall cat tree allows them to explore and play without wreaking havoc in your living room. Several companies around the world produce cat trees, and while some are safe and well-designed, others are cheaply constructed and likely to fall apart.

Our reviews included several different styles and price ranges, but we didn’t include any hyper-expensive items that cost thousands of dollars. After looking at some of the most expensive models, we couldn’t determine why the price was justified. When you’re pondering which product is best for your cat, there are a few factors to consider.

What to Look for in a Tall Cat Tree

Since the safety of your feline is at stake, you should read each company’s product descriptions and reviews carefully. A poorly placed or unstable tree can damage your home and injure your kitty. With our options, you can be sure that you will end up with a cute cat tree, in addition to it being safe.

Stability

Although every manufacturer claims to have a durable and stable cat tree, some models may not handle multiple cats or even one hefty feline. Look for products with a heavy solid base that’s not easy to tip over and solid construction that can take abuse from a cat. Most trees include a stability strap to attach to the wall, but unfortunately, some are inadequate. A single strap can eventually fail if you have multiple cats playing on the platforms.

We suggest purchasing another strap or two to secure the tree properly. You can use the same straps that prevent furniture from tipping that are available online and at hardware stores.

Dimensions

Your choice of cat tree will depend on where you’re going to place it in your home. The floor-to-ceiling models are compact and fit nicely in the corner, but they provide fewer platforms and toys than the other products. For multiple cats, the compact models are too small and offer little space to play. Luckily, all the product descriptions and our reviews include the dimensions so you can measure the room before you buy one.

Construction

Most cat trees are constructed with cardboard or particle board tubing, but the higher-priced models use hardwood for the posts. Although cardboard does not seem like a quality material, it’s more rigid than the material on a cardboard box, and it can withstand abuse from multiple cats. Unless the tree is used outdoors, which is not recommended, the cardboard is a durable option.

The wood supports are sturdier, but they’re also more expensive and much heavier. Whether you choose cardboard or wood, try to keep the tree in a dry area. Moisture can cause the materials to deteriorate or warp. That’s why they’re only designed for indoor use.

Price Tag

We reviewed some affordable, mid-range, and expensive cat trees, but we didn’t include any discount trees made with inferior materials. The cheapest trees are unlikely to hold up for very long, and some may injure your feline or damage your property when they collapse. If you purchase a tree that doesn’t seem stable or durable, send it back and buy one that’s backed up with multiple positive reviews.

Conclusion

We liked the ten trees in our reviews, but the FEANDREA Cat Tree stood out as the best overall product. It’s sturdy enough to handle larger cats and includes a hammock that can support the weight of an overfed feline. Our best value price went to the PETEPELA Cat Tree. Its compact design fits easily in any space, and it’s far less agonizing to assemble than some of the larger trees. Hopefully, after reading the review and guide, you have a better idea of which cute cat tree to purchase for your lovable furball.
