Cat's Choice Raised Condo Cat Sleeper
Premium I: Signature CollectionA barrel-shaped condo on a 17-inch round footprint -- compact, architectural, and unlike anything else on the market.

"I curated this specifically for owners who want something that doesn't look like standard cat furniture. The barrel shape is distinctive -- it reads as a design object when placed in a room, not as a utility item pushed into a corner. The 17-inch round footprint means it fits spaces a rectangular tree won't, and the notched top perch gives a cat genuine high-ground access in a very small floor plan."

This item is part of our premiere collection: No MDF or Particle Board. Hand-built to order in the USA using sturdy wood, plush household-grade carpet, and natural unoiled sisal rope. Built by furniture experts with over 30 years of experience.
The Raised Condo Cat Sleeper earns its place in rooms where space is limited and aesthetics matter. The barrel-shaped central condo sits at mid-height with a fully carpeted interior and a 7" x 8" entry opening -- large enough for a standard cat to enter comfortably, small enough to feel sheltered inside. Above it, a notched top perch with a 3-inch security lip gives a cat a second distinct landing point at 30 inches off the floor.
The 17-inch round footprint is the defining practical advantage: it fits beside a bed, in a corner, or between furniture pieces where a rectangular base wouldn't. Built from solid wood on a round base with carpeted exterior posts, it ships fully assembled and ready to place. Available with custom sisal rope configurations -- see the custom version link above.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why a round footprint instead of a rectangular base? +
A round base fits spaces a rectangular tree doesn't -- beside a bed, in a curved corner, or between furniture pieces where a square footprint would protrude awkwardly. The 17-inch diameter is genuinely compact without feeling undersized. For apartments or rooms where every square inch matters, the round format opens up placement options that most cat trees simply don't offer.
Is the barrel condo large enough for an adult cat? +
The 17-inch interior diameter with a 7" x 8" entry fits a standard adult cat comfortably in a curled resting position. For very large breeds -- Maine Coons, Ragdolls over 15 pounds -- the condo will feel snug. Those cats tend to prefer the top perch on this piece, using the condo for occasional visits rather than extended resting. Medium-sized cats typically claim the condo as their primary sleep spot.
How stable is a round-base unit compared to a rectangular one? +
Round bases distribute weight radially, which makes them naturally resistant to tipping in any direction -- unlike rectangular bases that are stable front-to-back but can tip sideways under lateral force. At 28 pounds, the weight-to-height ratio on this piece keeps it grounded during normal use. For extra security, placing it against a wall on its flattest side adds a backstop.
What does the custom version offer that this one doesn't? +
The standard version comes in a fixed sisal rope configuration. The custom version lets you specify the rope placement, length, and coverage across the scratching posts -- useful if your cat has strong preferences for rope vs. carpet on specific surfaces. The structural build and dimensions are identical between the two versions.
