The 11 Best Cat Tree Without Carpet You’ll Ever See

The best cat tree without carpet you'll ever see!

If you are looking for a cat tree without carpet your options have greatly expanded in the last few years.

Now-a days, you can find cat trees in all shapes and sizes, a taller cat tree, a short cat tree, condos made from pallet wood and more… They range from bare wood to those covered in an assortment of very sturdy fabrics or cushions.

This broadens your range of colors and patterns as well as making it easier to replace the coverings when they become worn out.

Now, lets get into some of our favorite cat trees. These definitely aren’t any old regular cat tree you’ll find down at big box pet store.

The Sapling V.2, Cat Tree with No Carpet

The Sapling is a cat tree without carpet from JML pets, with two platforms and one step for your cats to enjoy.

The Sapling 2.0 is one of the coolest, sturdiest and most unique cat trees without carpet I’ve seen in awhile. Made with solid wood, with pads on the platforms to provide snuggly comfort for your fur babies.

It’s made to last you years, just like you’d expect from any other piece of furniture. This is a piece meant to last, rather than be disposable a year from now once your cat has scratched it up.

Here a woman is sitting on the cat tree, showing how truly sturdy it is.

When I say it’s built to last, I mean it can handle a person sitting on it with no problem. If it can take that kind of weight, even a 20+ pound Maine Coon is no problem.

And it’s made with non-toxic materials, so no harm can come to your cat (or kids if, for some unknown reason, their toddler instincts tell them to climb and play on it). You can request a non-toxic stain of your choice if you don’t want it’s base color.

The Sapling is also made right here in the U.S.A, by a delightful “mom and pop” shop. So you can rest easy knowing that you are also supporting a small, local business and craftsmen when you order this wood cat tree.

Their shop here has all similarly well built, cat trees without carpet that you can see below (or visit their shop here for their full catalog!)

Pros:

  • Large cat friendly
  • Non-toxic materials
  • Made in the U.S.A
  • Unique

Cons:

  • No cat scratcher

It’s also perfect for the multi-cat home!  It has four step platforms, each big enough to lounge on while also providing ample support on your kitties journey up to the top.

Kit-ty Tree Deluxe

The Kit-ty Deluxe is a one of a kind cat tree that I've only ever seen at this shop.  They are made from natural tree branches and silk leaves to give your their own little jungle to enjoy.

This is another handmade cat tree for you to take a gander at.  This is also a pretty large cat tree ready to support large cats and small ones.

With cozy perch after cozy perch, this cat tree DOES technically have some carpet on it but it’s far from a traditional cat tree.  The carpet is contained to the little perches which are easy to clean off, and surrounded by delightful silk leaves that give this cat tree the feeling of being a real tree.

The only real downside to this cat tree is the time it takes to get to you.  But, when you factor in that they make every single cat tree to order, and it’s a small mom and pop shop operation… Well, it’s understandable.

Pros:

  • Unique, beautiful cat tree
  • Multi – level design
  • Large enough for multiple cats

Cons:

  • Shipping time

If you are wanting scratching posts, this certainly has you covered.  The entire structural center pole is wrapped in manila rope making it the perfect scratching post for your cat.  And the top curved bed is the perfect cat condo.

And the creator of this delightful cat tree is always helpful and happy to help you customize (within reason, obviously) your cat tree so that it’s just that much more perfect for your cat.

Pros:

  • Elegant design
  • Carpet-free cat tree

The Grove

The Grove is a modern cat tree for those who want their cat trees... To not look like it's a cat tree.  A slotted circular design, with a bed on top and inside the almost side-tablelike cat tree make it a good place for your cat to peer out or hunker down.

The Grove is a cat tower from Tuft + Paw that is meant to add to your décor without looking like Just Another Cat Tree. 

Depending on your needs, this could be perfect for you and your cat.  It won’t detract from your house all while giving your cat a little space of their own.  Something that every cat needs, whether they are a kitten or an old timer.

If you are looking for something to give your cat a mild energy outlet, a place to lounge and a spot up away from the dog, this is for you.  If you have a cat that’s a little more high energy and needs a scratching post, I’d recommend some of the previous cat trees listed a bit more!

  • Amazing customer support
  • Cats and cat owners love it
