Kitty-Combs are custom, hand made cat trees for cats to play, exercise and relax on based on the “honey-comb” hexagonal design. Our Kitty-Combs go through a 2 part sanding process during production to obtain the smoothest finish possible. We use non-toxic, pet and human safe stain to obtain the desired color. A water based polyurethane made from whey protein is then used to seal and protect our Ki
tty-Combs from water and chemicals and any accidents our pets may have on them! We apply 2 coats of the polyurethane with a hand sand in between coats to maintain the smoothest of finishes for easy cleaning and durability. Our stains and finishes are made from Vermont Natural Coatings Company and are purchased locally from Green Conscience Home and Garden in Saratoga Springs. The hardware used to build our Kitty-Combs are made of stainless steel and will not rust. Every Kitty-Comb comes with a replaceable heavy duty rope ladder made from 1” natural manila rope. Every part you see on all of our Kitty-Comb models are hand crafted by true artisans. We take exceptional pride in ensuring every Kitty-Comb meats the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality. Kitty-Combs are made to last. Period. They can be customized to match your desired décor and will most likely be the highest quality piece of furniture you can add to your home…. except it’s for your cat! We offer 10 models. Each model can be customized further with many extras from extra play holes and shelves, to hand made toys, to a ‘fat-cat-upgrade’ and many more! And if you don’t see a model you like, we can build a custom model just for you! If you can think it, we can build it! (as long as it doesn’t defy physics)
Why Hexagons? Kitty-Combs are based on the “honey-comb” hexagonal shape. Hexagons are often referred to as ‘Nature’s perfect shape’ and are one of the best structural shapes, proving very strong and very efficient when stacked together. This is just one of the reasons honey-bees naturally use hexagons. However, this is the main reason we use them. Kitty-Combs combines 3 things;
1. Our love for animals.
2. Our desire to restore the idea that things can be made by hand in the United States by skilled artisans the way they once were, using only premium materials that will last, providing a product that not only is beautiful, but is practical for you, your pet, and not an eye sore to have in your living room.
3. Our commitment to educate people on the importance of honey-bees and helping as many non-for profits with the same goal as us as possible through donating 10% of every sale of all of our models. Don’t have a cat? That’s okay! Our Critter-Comb line caters to our little furry friends. We have 3 standard sizes perfect for hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, hedge hogs, ferrets, and even rabbits! Our Critter-Combs are made from solid pine and can be chewed on safely! Critter-Combs use the same non-toxic stain and poly as our Kitty-Combs. Our logs and domes can be linked together to form little critter colonies and like our Kitty-Combs, are completely customizable. Don’t have critters? Well we don’t have ones for dogs yet. YET!!
