I am getting a cat soon and I would like to know where I can find a cheap playhouse/scratching post. She will be an indoor only cat (with the exception of being on a leash outside) so I need to provide her with plenty of stimulation, scratching posts, toys, and safe things to climb on. Where can I find or make these things for cheap?
PetEdge and Drs. Foster Smith online both have some really cute cat trees that are well priced. Shipping’s a bit high but they still end up being substantially cheaper than buying one at PetSmart or Petco whose prices are pretty ridiculous.
I have four cats and I don’t have a cat tree. I have two scratching posts and a couple of sisal scratchers that hang on door knobs. So you don’t necessarily have to get them the big tree to scratch on. Those take up a lot of space.

Target now sells lots of cat stuff. It is cheaper than pet store such as Pet Extreme or Petsmart.

Most are expensive. I’m going to make my own. All you need is some partical board, something to cut it with, staple gun and some carpet, something to cut that with and twine. That way you can have one just the way you want it.

Where do you live?
I will tell you that on Long Island in N,Y, many people are retiring and can’t afford to take all the stuff they have accumilated the places they are moving to are much smaller and moving men cost a fortune today.
They have so much from raising their families so they are just putting stuff out for other people to use.
I;ve passed so many clean cat condo’s carpeted no odor that the shelters don’t even have room for them.
The shelters are in need of towels.
