Cardboard Cat Tower
From fancy feeding stations to designer crate furniture, Peyton knows how to ensure comfort to your furry companion without compromising on the aesthetics of your home.
Durable and easy to assemble, a cardboard cat tower provides your pets with the perfect spot to play. While some cat towers already come with finishes, most are delivered in blank or raw colors, which gives you the option to play with the look. A great thing about them is that they’re more affordable and eco-friendly than cat towers made of wood and metal. So look no further and take a look at these options, which our design experts carefully selected for you.
Our Picks
Castle Tower
Inspired by a medieval castle, this cardboard cat tower offers four tiers where your cats can sit and chill. It is also equipped with scratching areas and detachable accessories, allowing you to customize the tower. Double-walled for durability and affordability.
Designer Advice:
With its blank canvas, you can create an entire look using stickers and craft materials. We recommend using those with brick patterns in gray and white or terracotta color schemes to complete the look. You can also place a furry rug inside each housing to make the entire tower comfortable and warm for your pets.

Designer Advice:
The perfect piece for ultra-modern and contemporary interiors. It is ideal for small to medium cats. However, it might not be great for pets who constantly vomit or spray since it can easily damage the material. This is a great accent piece that you can place in the corner of your home and won’t be easily identified as a cat tower.
