The 10 Best Cat Trees in Canada — Reviews & Top Picks 2024

1. Feandrea Cat Tree Condo — Best Overall

The best overall cat tree for Canadians is the Feandrea Cat Tree Condo. It’s a large and sturdy cat tree that has a hammock, two beds, two perches, and an enclosed condo. It’s in an attractive dark grey and has 10 sisal posts (with a 3.4-inch diameter) that can all work as effective scratching posts. It also has a couple of hanging toys for your cat’s entertainment. It includes fittings that can be used to prevent the cat tree from toppling (but it is sturdy enough that you might not even need these).

However, it is on the expensive side, and while it can work well for large cats, if you have a particularly big cat, they might find this tree a little too small.

2. AmazonBasics Cat Condo — Best Value

The best cat tree for the money is the AmazonBasics Cat Condo. It isn’t exactly a cat tree because it’s only 20 inches high, but it is elevated and makes a nice bed for a cat. It’s in a dark grey plush fabric with a hammock and has two sisal posts for scratching. It also has a plush hanging ball for your cat to play with.

Unfortunately, while it might fit large cats, it’s probably better for small to medium-sized cats. Also, the sisal rope used for the scratching posts is a little thin and might not last that long.

3. Vesper Cat Tree — Premium Choice

The best premium choice cat tree for Canadians is the Vesper Cat Tree. It has a high perch, two enclosed cube-shaped condos, and several cushions made with memory foam. The cat condos also have an entrance on two sides, so your cat will always have an escape route. This product is made with high-quality MDF that looks like real walnut. This also means it looks good and is easy to clean. The foam pads can be machine washed, and it also has balls on a string for your cat to play with. Lastly, it has a long post (about 32 inches) covered in sisal rope that is perfect for cats that like to stretch while scratching.

On the downside, it is quite expensive and not a tall cat tree. Also, the sisal rope doesn’t always stay put after cats regularly use it as a scratching post.

4. Pawz Road Cat Tree

Pawz Road’s Cat Tree is a light grey plush cat tree that isn’t very tall but makes up for it by being quite sturdy. It has a relatively large perch with a cushy rim on the top and two cube-shaped condos. It has a hanging toy and a sisal-covered long scratching post, which will work well for cats that love to stretch while scratching.

Unfortunately, while the perch can work for large cats, the cube-shaped condos might be a bit small. Also, for some owners, it might be a little difficult to assemble.

5. AmazonBasics Extra Large Cat Tree

The AmazonBasics Extra Large Cat Tree comes in beige and has several platforms, including one with a raised lip at the top. It has multiple sisal scratching posts and a cube-shaped condo with two entrances. It also has two separate plush balls on a string for fun.

The main disadvantage of this cat tree is the elastic string for the balls. Several cats have had that elastic become wrapped around their tails or legs and had to be rescued by their owners. You might want to not attach these balls when you purchase this tree. Some cats also might find this tree a little wobbly.

6. Armakat Classic Cat Tree

The Armakat Classic Cat Tree is 74 inches tall. It has five perches, two tunnels, and a dangling ball. It also has multiple scratching posts with sisal, including one that lies horizontally on the base for those cats that like to scratch at floor level. It is also easy to assemble.

However, it is rather expensive, and it tends to be a little wobbly. Also, the carpet that covers the plywood is a little on the thin side.

7. Superjare Cat Tree

The Superjare Cat Tree has many different surfaces for your cat to lounge on. It has platforms, two large condos, a perch with a cushy rim, and a plush basket. It also includes a dangling ball for entertainment and several sisal scratching posts. The base has been made thicker to provide extra stability, and it has added fittings that can be attached to the wall to stop it from tipping over.

However, it is expensive and better for small cats. Large cats will have a more challenging time fitting on this cat tree.

8. Pawz Cat Tree

The Pawz Cat Tree is quite tall and has two perches at the very top and two condos and two ramps, which can help senior kitties get around. The condos and double perches also mean it could work well for a two-cat household because they won’t be quite as likely to fight over them. It also has a basket (which might get fought over because there’s only one), and the two top platforms have a soft rim. It has multiple sisal scratching posts and two hanging balls, as well as one on a spring.

One of the disadvantages of this unit is that the top platform tends to break off after a period of time. This won’t necessarily happen to you, but do make a habit of checking the platform regularly. It’s also better suited for small to medium-sized cats because large cats might not fit well on any of the platforms.

9. Rabbitgoo Cat Tree

The Rabbitgoo Cat Tree is tall and has a platform with a soft rim at the top, alongside one of those cozy baskets. It also has a condo, several other platforms, a hammock, a rope for playing, and a ladder. This cat tree has multiple sisal scratching posts, and due to the various platforms and resting spots, it can work well in multiple-cat homes.

However, this is a cat tree that is better suited for small and medium-sized cats. Large cats will probably still enjoy it, but they won’t be able to fit as well on the platforms and basket. Also, the basket is a popular feature, but it’s only supported on one side and is therefore prone to breaking.

10. Feandrea Cat Tree for Large Cats

The Feandrea Cat Tree for Large Cats is a somewhat short cat tree that has a large platform on top, with a soft rim and two square cat condos. It has two sisal scratching posts, and the top platform is big enough for the large cats out there. It comes with fastenings that can be attached to a wall to add to the stability, but it’s actually quite stable without it.

Unfortunately, while the top platform is great for large cats, the two condos are on the small side. If your cat is an enthusiastic scratcher, the sisal posts might not withstand it for too long.

Buyer’s Guide

Now that you’ve had the chance to review a few cat tree options, you probably have a much better idea of what you are looking for. But before you make your final decision, look at our brief guide because as there might be other factors and considerations that you need to make.

Size of the Cat

The size of your cat is a significant factor. Most cat trees seem to be geared for small cats, which is definitely an oversight on the part of the manufacturers. Many cats are too large for these cat trees, so always check your cat’s measurements in comparison to the cat tree that you’re interested in. Measure your cat’s typical sleeping surface rather than the length of your cat.

Sturdiness

The sturdiness of your cat tree is also essential. If the cat tree feels wobbly to your cat, they won’t be likely to use it. The taller the cat tree, the more likely it will wobble, so you’ll need to look at the base. The thicker and larger the base, the sturdier it will be. Double-check that the tree comes with fasteners that can be attached to the tree and the wall, which will help prevent it from falling over. Conversely, the shorter the tree, the more stable it will be.

All-Inclusive

Are you looking at a cat tree primarily for the height and sleeping surfaces, or should it also have the right kind of scratching post? If you don’t mind having separate scratching posts, you can focus on just the size, height, and other important features. But if you want a cat tree that also has the right-sized scratching post, be sure to read the reviews. You want a strong one that can hold up for a period of time and is the right length for your cat’s size.

Colour

Sometimes the colour of the item will impact the price, though typically not by too much. However, a specific manufacturer’s cat tree in beige will typically be cheaper than the same cat tree in dark grey or black.

Conclusion

The Feandrea Cat Tree Condo is our pick for the best overall cat tree in Canada due to its sturdiness and multiple sleeping surfaces. We chose the AmazonBasics Cat Condo as the best value for its comfy hammock and excellent price. The premium choice goes to the Vesper Cat Tree as it’s attractive and has great memory foam cushions.

Hopefully, the combination of our reviews and buyer’s guide has helped you to pick a cat tree and that your cat will thank you for it!
