Catit reassured me that all Vesper furniture is made with toxin-free materials and meets the formaldehyde emission standards (TSCA Title VI compliant) for composite wood products set by the EPA. The Mau Cento Tree received the most compliments out of all the furniture I’ve owned. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but my cats also love it. I often found two of them fast asleep in each basket, or my little girl Eely snuggled up in the fuzzy cave. They enjoy leaping on and off, scratching the designated scratchers, and playing with the pom poms. While it is quite expensive, parts are replaceable.
Each piece is crafted from real wood sourced ethically from trees that no longer bear fruit, as stated by the company. Additionally, the brand donates 5 percent of earnings to animal welfare and environmental conservation organizations and plants a tree for every order. Mau provided us with test results showing no lead, cadmium, or formaldehyde was detected in the products tested, including plush bedding, sisal ropes, metal frames, particle board, tree trunk, plywood, and other woods and fillings. Although the brand did not explicitly mention that the furniture was nontoxic.
When it comes to cat beds, the Happy Camper Cat Bed from Tuft and Paw stands out as the prettiest one we’ve tried. It is incredibly cute to see my cat Eely-Rue peeking her head out if I disturb her slumber. The panels feature wood veneer on one end and gray felt on the other, with a super plush pillow acting as a cozy bed. Tuft and Paw products are TSCA Title VI compliant, but the prices are on the higher end.
Furthermore, Tuft and Paw emphasizes its dedication to crafting high-quality products, collaborating with cat behaviorists to design each item. The brand does not offer returns for slightly used products, which could be a downside for some customers.
