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!

April 17th, 2010 at 9:01 am
I think our kitty would love it. I like that it is an eco-friendly product.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Very cool!
April 17th, 2010 at 11:04 am
Beautifully designed and beautiful-looking!
April 17th, 2010 at 11:18 am
I love that they have classic styles that cats have loved for decades but in a whole new set of materials! Great job, guys!
April 17th, 2010 at 11:50 am
I really appreciate all of the research that this company seems to have done. My cats & I would LOVE one!
April 17th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
my kittys snooky and minky just got their own new home with mommy,they would love to have the eco friendly purr post in their new room,and mommy would be happy cause they wouldn’t scratch the rug!!!
April 17th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Very attractive design on both; perhaps in the future the perch could be made available with the carpet in a darker color, to disguise cat hair? (and to make it look less like the standard ugly-beige-carpet cat furniture at mass retailers)
Also, since my cat doesn’t like the harder varieties of sisal (he loves cardboard and the more loosely woven sisal that my rug is made of, unfortunately), it would be great to have an option to have a cardboard (or loosely woven sisal) insert in the scratcher.
Nice work on making attractive, sustainable cat products!
April 17th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Nice site. Love the scratcher.
April 17th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Love that it uses sisal as that is what Alice is used to scratching on her current scratching post! Beautiful looking product too!
April 17th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Great company and great products! I would love one of these for my two cats. They really need a new scratching post. Bad! They’ve destroyed their kitty condo! ;P
April 17th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
sisal is the bestest and my mostest favoritest scratcher!!! i would looooooooove to have one more!!!!! Zsa Zsa (I’m a beautiful black and white girl!
April 17th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
I really like how these products use eco-friendly products but also keep in mind what cats like. Both designs would be super-attractive to my cats. Many products boast that they use recyclable materials etc, but the designs are not cat-friendly, so what’s the point?
April 17th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
I love the attention to detail and the commitment to safety for cats. Thanks for letting us know about Purr Post.
April 17th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Looks like an amazing product! I love the fact the the scratch post is made of post consumer paper and natural wool carpet. I used to have a post made of natural wool but after five years I had to give it up! My cat, Moco, loved it maybe a little too much and totally wore it out. But that was after five years… about three years longer than any of my other cat trees lasted.
April 17th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
it’s amazing how pricey these things are…i prefer the DIY approach on the site. maybe one day when i’m making money again as opposed to being a poor grad student, i can look at these things differently. i like the concept but not the price tag.
April 17th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
love to have this, I am getting a new sofa and I really need to get something my kitties will want to scratch instead of it
April 17th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Nice to know that there is a company designing cat products and still keeping our environment safe.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Wow! Great find! It’s so nice to learn about companies that care.
April 17th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
It’s so nice to see people making eco-friendly cat scratchers that are nice for the kitties, the people and the planet!
April 17th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
WOW! Wonderful quality, no chemicals, nicely designed, and affordable! What more could a kitty ask for . . .
April 18th, 2010 at 3:00 am
What fantastic products! It makes sense and it is amazing that it hasn’t been thought of before! What sleek designs also, amazing!
April 18th, 2010 at 5:35 am
You can never have enough scratching posts and especially one that looks so smart!
April 18th, 2010 at 6:34 am
I love these! I love when cat furniture it sleek…it fits in with my decor so well!
April 18th, 2010 at 7:12 am
Lovely designs, and I like the earth-friendly aspect.
April 18th, 2010 at 8:11 am
I love the sleek, modern look of these products. I also love that the company uses bamboo as we are trying to find as many products for our home as possible that use it. I think my kitties would appreciate this “green” product very much!
April 18th, 2010 at 9:34 am
My cats really want to be green and this would be perfect for them. Plus it would nicely match our bamboo flooring. No more ugly plastic scratchers!
April 18th, 2010 at 10:16 am
I love seeing more eco-friendly kitty products. This on is awesome.
April 18th, 2010 at 11:11 am

April 18th, 2010 at 1:16 pm

Wonderful company. Would love to win, but will purchase something for kitty anyway.
April 18th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Both are very elegant, I know my cat and I would love them!
April 18th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Beautifully designed and functional! And I love the fact that they are so environmentally friendly and safe for my cats.
April 18th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
I really like that Purr Post thinks of all components in regards to being eco-friendly. Their products are great for cats too! Great company. Kudos!
April 19th, 2010 at 3:58 am
Truly a treat for the eyes as well as the claws! The eco-conscious design is icing on the cake –
April 19th, 2010 at 6:12 am
Great way to celebrate Earth day! Appears to be a very high quality product along with being kind to the earth and all of it’s creatures!
April 19th, 2010 at 6:21 am
Mm, sisal. My Riker loves his sisal post.
April 19th, 2010 at 7:08 am
I especially appreciate that they make their products so you can buy a new insert and make it complete again. It’s such a waste to buy a whole new product!
April 19th, 2010 at 8:47 am
Love all the products and the concept behind it. My cat would love this!
April 19th, 2010 at 10:15 am
I’m glad more companies are developing eco-friendly products and thinking about the planet.
