Here are 10 of the absolute best cat wall shelves, perches, and cat climbing platforms I could find and review for your viewing please. A savvy internet user will immediately ask “why just 10?” And to that, I can only answer “ummm, because”. I think that’s a pretty good answer, don’t you? If not, click that X in the top corner and begone from me!
In all seriousness, I will likely add a part 2 or 3 to this list in the future. For now, you’ll have to make do with these 10 — but I assure you, they are an amazing collection of 10; truly the best wall mounted cat shelves and cat climbing platforms you can find. That I promise!
Important Note: At the time of writing these reviews, all of these different wall mounted cat shelves are readily available. But, I can’t promise that will be the case in the future. If one of these cat wall platforms or cat climbing shelves is no longer available, feel free to go to the contact page and let me know. I will update the review as necessary. Thanks so much!
10. CatastrophiCreations Cat Dining Table
One of the few cat shelves I’ve seen with an actual food dish built right into; and 2 of them at that! This is great if you have other pets or children that are prone to making a mess out of your cat’s dining area. Aside from that, it’s incredibly neat to be able to see your pet go up high to his/her own exclusive hideaway for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Admittedly, you could probably buy a couple of small plates and have the same effect with other cat wall shelves and perches, but that would be prone to spillage and nobody really wants that. Seriously, how many times would that dish be knocked down if it wasn’t locked in place like that? I don’t even want to imagine!
Plus… no more bending down to refill the cat food every day. Big win!
Price: $32 | Variations: Oynx, Natural Bamboo or English Chestnut
My Input: $32 for a single wall mounted cat shelf feeder is, to me, not too high and not too low. I personally like it just for the ability to get my cat’s food dishes off the floor and not having to bend down anymore to refill them daily. Simple, cute, effective. Can’t go wrong.

9. The Sophia Wall Mounted Cat Tree
Pretty simple, pretty basic cat climbing shelves. Comes in a set of 2; one of which has a cave like hideaway with a door hole. The other allows for some decoration items; books, plants, etc. Both cat perches have a carpet landing pad for resting.
Price: $99. Overpriced I say. | Color Variations: Black or White
My Input: Pretty stylish cat wall shelves I must say. Many wall mounted cat shelves and cat wall platforms can look out of place; a bit too obvious and awkward as it were. These blend in as simple decorations; at a glance.
If that’s a big selling point for you, then these are a must have. Beyond that though, these are pretty basic. Not thrilled about the selling price at $100, but at least you get two of them. Also, they are tested for 25lbs. Plump kitties are out of luck! I’d probably skip this cat wall shelf unless I were absolutely in love with it, but maybe that’s just me.

8. Trixie Wall-Mounted Cat Lounging Set
While it is ranked 8th, it’s absolutely one of my favorites of the best wall mounted cat shelves collection.
It’s a 4 piece set. 2 cat wall steps, a cat wall cave and a cat wall hammock. Covered with a nice soft plush material and sisal scratching surfaces in all the right places. It’s an entire cat shelf kit in-one, and for the price, it’s a steal! Looks great too!
Price: $75 | No variations.
My Input: I love the coloring. It’s soft. Good scratching services. And 4 pieces (rather than 1). All for about $75. Budget wise, this is an absolute winner!
There have been some complaints about the screws included. Some people have a bad experience with them and they break off during installation. You may want to invest in your own screws for a more sturdy installation and hassle free process. Just a suggestion. But, I didn’t have a problem installing mine. They might have switched to a cheaper set of screws after I got it.

7. The CatastrophiCreations Handcrafted Cat Wall Post
I’ve already done a more in-depth review on the CatastrophiCreations Handcrafted Cat Wall Post, and you can read it by clicking on the link.
As far as functional wall mounted cat shelves go, it hits all the right notes. Incredibly easy to install, remarkably sturdy, made of sisal rope, and acts as perfect steps for your cat to reach his/her larger cat climbing shelves or perch.
Price: $45 or $120 For 3 | No variations.
My Input: It’s function over form with this sisal rope post. Nothing flashy or stylish about it. It’s a sisal rope post, period.
Some may argue these aren’t actually wall mounted cat perches or cat climbing shelves; merely steps that allow your cat to climb and explore, and inevitably reach their relaxation or hangout zone. To this, I can only say… Seriously? Get a life why don’t you! They’re great and I don’t care about such technicalities.
If you are seeking to add another level of cat climbing shelves in a different location — be it on another wall, or higher up on the same wall — and need a way for your cat to reach this level, this is your go-to cat wall post. No doubt about it. Simple, sleek, effective. You can’t go wrong.

6. The Original KITTY COT
This is another cat wall perch I’ve done a more thoroughly review on. You can read the Original Kitty Cot Review, by clicking that link.
I’m sure there are some that might give a quizzical look at the addition of the original kitty cot to this list; a list entitled 10 best cat wall shelves, perches, and climbing platforms. It is after all, a WINDOW cat perch and not a wall perch. But you know what… and this is really crucial…. I simply don’t care.
Maybe some day I’ll do a large review on the many different cat window perches available. Until then, the review stands. Get over it!
In my view, the Original Kitty Cot has earned a place as being one of the best cat perches around — be it on the wall or the window!
Price: $45
My Input: I’m a huge fan of this cat perch, and not just because it’s $45. It’s so incredibly easy to install and no tools are required.
Goes up with minimal effort and can be taken down just as easily. My cat Dredd loves to hang out on his cot for hours and hours, just staring into the backyard, mesmerized by everything going on. It’s like watching him watch a movie; he’s just completely zoned out.
One of the best cat perches I’ve ever bought. I would say he uses the Kitty Cot the most for his relaxation time. Probably because of the window and the wildlife channel out back; I get birds, deer, squirrels, foxes, and whatever else you can imagine running around back there.
Solid 10/10 ranking from me. It’s one of the best cat wall perches around. Period.

5. CatastrophiCreations Deluxe Cat Playplace & Activity Center
I like this one a lot. It’s very cool looking and is an awesome playground for your cat. It’s got a ladder, hammock, a sisal rope hole right in the middle there. It’s just incredibly cool looking and lots of fun for a cat, or multiple cats.
Hammock is rated at 65lbs and the shelves are rated for 85 lbs. They are as sturdy as you can get for a cat shelf. Fat cats rejoice!
Price: $190 | Variations: Charcoal/Oynx or English Chestnut
My Input: It looks amazing and it’s a whole lot of fun for any cat. It’s handcrafted and quite gorgeous, which is why it’s on the list of best wall mounted cat shelves. It’s high cost for high quality. I’ll leave the decision in your hands.

4. CatastrophiCreations Fabric Cat Maze
Same company that makes the one above, and just like the wall mounted cat shelf above, this is great too.
This forgoes the step ladder for 3 hammocks with a sisal rope hole and much more space on the top portion. Incredibly sturdy and a fantastic play area for your feline pals.
Price: $196
Variations: Charcoal/Oynx or English Chestnut
My Input: This cat shelf is right in line with the one above it. They’re both great and they are essentially ranked the same. They are expensive, sure, but they are top shelf quality (pun intended!).
It really depends on your preference: do you like the rope ladder OR more hammocks with a larger surface area up top? No matter which one you chose, you are your cat(s) are going to be thrilled.
Personally, if I was forced to choose one, I’d go with….. I really don’t know!!!!! They both look so cool!!!! I know… get both of em!!!!

3. Pet Haus Wave Wall Mounted Cat Perch
This is another wall mounted cat shelf that I’ve already done a more extensive review on. You can find that review here, The Pet Haus Wave Wall Mounted Cat Perch.
Another favorite of mine, mainly because it looks so stylish WITHOUT losing it’s functionality. At a glance, it looks like modern art decoration, but with a closer look, you’ll see an incredibly designed cat wall shelf with felt padding and plenty of space for exploring kitties.
Price: $150 | No Variations
My Input: There are some wall mounted cat shelves and cat wall platforms that are really really obvious. They stand out in a big way to the naked eye and sometimes they look a bit, for lack of a better word, tacky. *Cough* Sisal Rope Posts *Cough*
These cat shelves do not fit that description. They are entirely deceptive to the naked eye and you wouldn’t know it’s a cat wall shelf until you actually saw a cat on top of it.
It’s the perfect cat shelf for cat lovers that don’t want to turn their homes into a sprawling kitty jungle gym, yet still wish to provide some way for their cats to climb to their hearts content; OR at the very least, just provide an elevated perch (which is a must for every cat owner!).

2. The Refined Feline Cat Cloud
As I came to this cat shelf, I literally just asked myself why is this ranked number 2? There are a lot of great cat wall shelves, wall perches, and cat climbing platforms on this list; and many of them are truly the best of the best, but why is the Refined Feline Cat Cloud rank 2?!?
I could give you some deep, insightful reason, but that would be a lie. To be honest, it was just one of the first wall mounted cat shelves I ever purchased online and installed.
I was over the moon for it. It was the first cat wall perch my little Dredd ever used. I suppose I have a special attachment to it, now that I think about. Other than that, it’s not inherently special — just a nicely designed cat perch with 2 wall platforms. Both platforms have a removable magnetic pad covered in very soft, faux sheepskin fabric.
Price: $100 | Variations: Left Facing or Right Facing.
My Input: I suggest reading my review if you want to know more. I admit it’s is a little heavy handed but that is only because it was the first cat wall shelf review I ever wrote about; but it’s accurate nonetheless. Simply put, it’s one of the best cat wall shelves for the price.
And no, the refined cat cloud probably shouldn’t be number 2. I just now looked back at the Fabric Cat Maze and the Deluxe Catplay Place, and I immediately think they both deserve a higher rank than the refined cat cloud. But you know what? There is no real rhyme or reason to this list. Uh oh. Did you think there was some science to this? Ouch. There isn’t. It’s just my faves.

1. CatastrophiCreations Sky Track Climbing Activity Center
You might have noticed the name “CatastrophiCreations” by now, considering this is the 4th or 5th cat wall shelf with the name in the title.
I can only say they make some of the best cat wall shelves, perches, and wall mounted platforms on the market. So naturally, they’re going to have a few products that hit my top 10 list.
The fact that they also have the #1 ranked cat shelf too… well, that just goes to show they are in it to win it.
(Come to think of it, I should probably hit them up and see if they want to advertise on my site! Edit 3 Years Later: They didn’t want to advertise, but they gave me a special link so I get a few bucks when you buy through my link! Isn’t that sweet of them!?!!)
Anyways, this one is a real masterpiece. It has 4 levels, a giant sisal rope column for climbing, and every level has a hammock, with another massive hammock at the top. Make no mistake, this is one of the ELITE cat wall shelves. The cream of the crop. The best of the best.
The only reason I don’t have giant cat wall mounted furniture yet (soon, I’ll be buying it soon!) is because of the price. You’ll know why in a moment, lol.
Price: $264 | Variations: 3 Different Finishes (English Chestnut, Bamboo, Onyx). 2 Fabric Choices (Natural Canvas, Charcoal Grey)
My Input: This is the number 1 cat wall shelf for a reason. Look at it. I mean really look at. It’s freakin amazing!
Craftsmanship like no other. Beautifully made, amazing sturdy, the absolute perfect playground for a cat or cats (be they fat or thin), and it has a giant sisal rope column for those gladiator type cats that like to push themselves to the limit! It’s INCREDIBLE.
The money I’ve spent on cat shelves and perches easily surpasses the cost of this one. However, those purchases were spread over months and months. This is all at one time, and it’s $264. Not exactly cheap (for me at least).
My entirely irrelevant stinginess aside — seriously, why am I telling you about my cheapness? That’s just weird of me! — if you’ve got the cash and want one of the absolute best cat wall shelves for your cat; this is absolutely what you need.

Well, alrighty then. I think that sums up my review of the top 10 cat wall shelves, perches, and climbing platforms on the market. Are there more? Of course! Will I make an effort to review them all? Of course not! Are you insane!?!?
However, I can promise I will make a real effort to expand this list and add more reviews on wall mounted cat shelves, climbing platforms, and all sorts of different wall mounted cat furniture.
