With Earth Day less than a week away, this is the perfect time to introduce a brand new company that may be producing some of the greenest cat products on the market. Introducing Purr Post, Portland, Oregon-based manufacturer of eco-friendly cat furniture including posts, perches, scratchers and more. All of the Purr Post products are made using organic and natural materials that have been carefully researched. Solid bamboo, stainless aluminum, and natural sisal are combined to create beautiful products that both you and your cat will love. All products are made in the USA.
I’m really impressed with the amount of research that has clearly gone into every aspect of the Purr Post products, including the finishes and adhesives used. This company is obviously dedicated to being environmentally-friendly and cat-friendly. They pay attention to details, right down to the office paper they use!

I love that they are made with the environment in mind, and in this economy I also like that they don’t charge shipping or sales tax! Makes them an even better value! Thanks…hope we win one to play with!

beautiful and environmentally friendly. My Cedar and Lucy would love one!
April 19th, 2010 at 11:38 am
this is both beautifully designed as well as eco-friendly in all elements of its construction. i’m really impressed by all the steps that have gone into making these scratchers both pet and earth friendly!
April 19th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Wow, this would look perfect in my apartment!
April 19th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
What a beautiful and eco-friendly cat scratcher! I would love to be able to replace our unsightly cardboard scratchers with this lovely and cat-friendly piece!
April 19th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
It’s nice to see a company really go all out with their products. Too many just don’t seem to make the effort.
April 19th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
Very simple and beautiful!
April 19th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
The Perch and Scratcher both look awesome!!! I love that they show you exactly what they are made of!!! Love the pics of the satisfied costumers too
!

This would be the thing to keep my cats from using my desk chair as a scratching post! And pretty to boot!
April 20th, 2010 at 6:22 am
I think I found my cats’ favorite website for scratchers, although I do hope Purr Post will consider creating a taller perch as 2 feet is a bit too small for my full grown felines.
April 20th, 2010 at 7:32 am
My boys would so love it.
April 20th, 2010 at 9:51 am
These look like some high quality cat scratchers. I like how they have use sustainable product for every part of the construction of them.
April 20th, 2010 at 10:19 am
What a great product for Earth Week! I love the bamboo (and it matches our flooring). As a LEED AP, I really appreciate that Purr Post emits no VOC’s that would produce harmful indoor environment for my kitty. For indoor cats, it’s that much more critical to have a healthy, non-toxic home. Thank you for producing an ecologically responsible product and incorporating sustainable business practices, as well!

I LOVE the idea. Eco friendly products rock. So does free shipping!
April 20th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
i don’t really get how the flat ones would work, since i rent and can’t attach anything permanent to my walls. but, regardless of my apt issues, these rock! makes me feel good that there are more and more eco friendly products for pet lovers out there.
April 20th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
My cats would love either the scratch pad or the post! Maybe I’d finally get Miss Smoochie to quit using cardboard boxes for her clawsercise class *G*
April 20th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
What do i think? I think I need one of these very fine looking scratchers….
April 21st, 2010 at 2:32 am
I love the thoughtful choices they’ve made in picking materials. Both for the Earth, for us, and for Kittehs. Visually appealing, made in the USA, and affordable prices. Meow!
April 21st, 2010 at 6:47 am
It would be interesting to see if that post would be tall enough for my very large cat who stretches up almost 2 feet to scratch any cardboard boxes that may be stacked around. I really like the idea though.
April 21st, 2010 at 6:49 am
I try to be Eco conscious and these look like great products.
April 21st, 2010 at 8:18 am
OMG what is not to like! Some of my fav things are : 100% eco friendly* , organic, recycled and recyclable materials* , and green adhesive, zero VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) !!!
April 21st, 2010 at 8:19 am
I love that this company is so very truly green! I was also impressed by the “space-saving economical design ships flat” as this is one green thing that a lot of people/companies do not think of!
April 21st, 2010 at 12:24 pm
This seems like a wonderful company and product.
April 21st, 2010 at 12:47 pm
it is nice!
April 21st, 2010 at 1:22 pm
cute!!
April 21st, 2010 at 2:34 pm
My cats love to scratch sisal. Nice that they donate some to rescue groups. Looking forward to seeing more products from this company.
April 21st, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Great product, great co.
April 21st, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Eco-friendly & easy to store!! What more could you ask for?
April 22nd, 2010 at 12:11 am
My paws are just itching to try these out!
These are really nice!
April 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 am

April 22nd, 2010 at 9:52 am
I need a cat scratcher…
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:48 am

April 22nd, 2010 at 10:54 am
Ooh my big scratcher would love this, and I am always trying to be more green.
April 22nd, 2010 at 11:53 am
Really love the eco-friendly and non-toxic materials. Bean loves his scratchers but I don’t think we’ve ever gotten him a really quality one such as one of these. He would be over the moon!
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:22 pm
We just adopted our first cat this week and have been looking for stylish, eco-friendly products for him. Purr Post products are really cool!

Cat scratch fever!!!!
May 19th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Love the bamboo material and simple look. Seems like extremely good quality and a formidable match for my energetic new 1-year-old Tibby.
May 24th, 2010 at 10:21 am
I like it!!!!!!!!!!
February 4th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
I love those flat scratching boards. I would buy one of those without a shadow of a doubt.
My cats love scratching everything, so I might have to invest in one!
