Wood Colour Options | ScratchyCats

Extra Charge - Wood Colour Options

All plywood parts will be finished (sealed and protected) in their bare natural colour (light beige) as standard. You can choose to upgrade and add colour to one or more of your plywood parts for an additional charge per coloured part. We don't paint the wood as this would hide the natural beauty of the wood. Instead, we tint the wood to add colour whilst retaining the wood grain and natural beauty. Once colour has been added, the part is sealed and protected to provide the same glossy hard wearing finish. Prices for colouring parts varies according to their size, as each piece is coloured by hand. Click here for a price list for colouring the wood.

Please be advised that colour swatches are provided for reference purposes only and do not indicate an exact colour of the finished wood. For a more accurate colour representation, please see our wood colour gallery for finished examples.

As with any piece of wooden furniture, exposure to sunlight can fade/discolour the wood.

Postage | ScratchyCats

Postage and Packaging

Please be advised that this is a bespoke handmade to order piece of quality cat furniture. This is not an item held in stock as each individual part is made especially for you. The lead time for this cat scratching post is approximately 2-3 weeks, but can be longer during busy periods. We will always confirm your order via email and give you an estimated completion date.

Due to the extreme size and weight of this large piece of cat furniture, we are currently only able to offer postage to the UK mainland. The postage and packaging for this large cat tree layout is priced at £16.69 and is delivered to you in a large, heavy box. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and areas outside of the UK mainland will incur an additional charge (please contact us for details BEFORE placing your order for an accurate quote).

If you're local to us, you're more than welcome to collect from our workshop (by prior arrangement) to save on postage and packaging costs. See full details regarding our delivery service here.

Purchase | ScratchyCats

Purchase

Due to the price of the high quality furniture board we use to make our Ultimate Series now being well over £100 per sheet - it's no longer possible for us to make these products at a sensible price. We are therefore being forced to rethink this range, and will be launching an alternative range soon.

Please be aware: sisal rope is a natural rope and as such the colour of the rope may vary slightly according to the time of year. Sisal rope is an abrasive rope and although ideal for cat scratching posts, we advise you to handle with care to avoid injury. We also advise you to inspect the scratching post regularly and replace when worn. All our products are now wrapped in 8mm sisal rope. Although this rope is slightly thinner than previously used (pre-March 2018), it's a higher grade premium quality sisal rope manufactured specifically for ScratchyCats, some web site photos may show the older thicker 10mm sisal rope no longer used.
