About Us
Purrfect Post began as something that veterinarian Dr. Christianne Schelling designed for some of her friends. They told her they couldn't find a cat scratching post that fit their needs and those of their cats. Most of the posts available were too short, too wobbly, covered in fluffy material or carpet. Cats didn't like them much, and they weren't very attractive as accent pieces in homes.
Because of her knowledge and research into cat behavior, Dr. Schelling knew that there were certain characteristics in a cat scratching post that were non-negotiable when it came to feline needs. These are:
- Height
- Sturdiness
- Satisfying scratching material
She also knew that it was important for Purrfect Post products to be elegant and attractive, so people would place them in prominent areas of their homes where cats would be happiest to find and use them.
After Dr. Schelling produced her first posts for friends, it wasn't long before more and more people were asking for one. She decided that it was time to start a business, and PurrfectPost.com was born.
Dr. Schelling knew that she wanted her products to be manufactured in the USA by American craftsmen. There just wasn't another choice as far as she was concerned because she wanted the best possible quality for her scratching posts. Supporting the US economy and putting Americans to work was another important consideration for her.
Ultimately, the reason that Dr. Schelling has worked so hard to research, develop, manufacture, and promote Purrfect Post products is because she does not believe that declawing cats is humane. Declawing is the amputation of all 10 front digits up the first joint, and it is a painful procedure that can leave cats in physical and mental pain for life. Providing a quality cat scratching post that cats will love can help prevent cat declaws and other unpleasant consequences for cats that scratch their owners' belongings.

My 6 months review: Excellent product. Brothers Blondie and Tuco Have turned other scratchers to dust in no time. I'm so glad I sprung for this, it's totally worth it. The boys use it heavily because it satisfies. It's tall enough for them to do a full standing stretch reaching up without hitting the top for a good sharpening (sparing my rugs and furniture from abuse!). Unlike furniture, lamps, vases, etc. they have never knocked it over, even whilst racing around the house. It's sturdy, plenty of ballast, easy to put together, and maybe best of all, it's not ugly!!

This is the third product I have purchased from Purrfect Post, and my experience and the cats experience has been exceptionally wonderful. I highly recommend your products.
Harpo the Nomad now has three of the tall Purrfect Post Deluxes that he uses regularly. He's a large active cat and had quickly torn up the previous posts I had bought for him. I'm grateful that I won't have to keep buying lower quality scratching posts for him. It's easy to see that his Purrfect Post Deluxes will last a long time. They are not only well-made but are also attractively made. I bought one to see if it met my needs and then ordered two additional ones. The posts arrived soon after I ordered them. They are easy to assemble. Harpo's favorite toys are pink pencil cap erasers. I place them on top of the post and when he stretches up to scratch, he sees them and knocks them off and plays with them!

Purrfect Post makes the best cat trees! They are so strong and sturdy, and they look really nice in your home. My cats love stretching up and scratching! They also love to nap together on the top bed, which is nice and roomy if you order the big bed version. So worth the purchase!

Our cats enjoyed the first so much that we bought another for the upstairs room. Then we purchased the purrect post which is used often and have replaced with part. Great quality

The product arrived quickly, and was easy to put together. All parts of the Big Bed Perfect View are well constructed and look great in the home. Our cats tried out the scratching posts and bed quickly, and seem much happier with the materials over other makers products I have bought in the past.

We purchased a scratch post from Purrfect Post in 2012 for our then Maine Coon kitten Briar. She LOVED it! And it is still pretty much unscathed. The Command Center recently purchased was for our latest Maine Coons. They took to it, literally the moment it was unpacked. The muffins are a huge hit! Uncas drags his pillow around like a teddy bear.

My sweet Bastien & Saige love all of their Purrfect Posts. But, the Everest scratching post has many uses, and I love watching how much they enjoy playing on it. They do everything from spinning circles, chasing one’s tail, chasing each other, and of course settling down to take a nap, or watch a good ole window movie!
