You will set this condo up in minutes. Hang this cat condo on any door. Alternatively, you can wall mount this unit as well. It is another high-quality piece of cat furniture that will save space in small apartments or small rooms. As a cat owner, it is our responsibility to make our cats’ lives as enriched and exciting as possible. One way to do this is by providing a cat tree, which gives them somewhere to scratch, climb, hide, and play. This channels all of a cats’ natural behaviors in the wild and can make them feel happy and content even when home alone, while also reducing any destructive behavior. The combination of sisal, MDF (particleboard), and glue meant this thing SMELLS for a long time. I smelled it for several days, and even woke up in the night, 2 rooms away from it, smelling it! I have a feeling that my cats can still smell it a month or so later. In my opinion, the best space saver cat tree has to be the Kerbel XL Wall Mounted Cat Tree. If you’re short on space in your home, wall-mounted designs are one of the best possible solutions as they take up no floor space and are often much sturdier than slim and narrower free-standing designs. The only other real complaint I have with this cat tree is on its comfort level. Although it may look sleek and elegant, the wooden platforms won’t be as comfortable for your cat to lounge on as a cozy cushioned platform. Still, from a climbing and scratching perspective, it scores highly.

For anyone who is out of options – without any spare floor space, unable to drill holes into the walls or door, or with not doors suitable for hanging cat trees – you need to find a more temporary solution, such as the GOOPAWS Foldable Cat Tower. Space Saving: The fundamental thing I was looking for was a cat tree that didn’t take up much space. There are wall-mounted options, over-the-door cat trees, or tall and narrow cat trees that don’t take up much floor space, which are all great options for small apartments. Unfortunately, because of the slim yet tall design, it is slightly less stable than some of the other options. Therefore, I would only recommend this cat tree for kittens and small cats. It also needs to be placed on a hard floor for added stability, which could be problematic if you only have carpet in your home.
