Best Overall
The Lotus Branch and Lotus Leaf Cat Shelves by The Refined Feline are our top-rated cat shelves. Their beautiful modern design, quality craftsmanship, and cat functionality put them a level above the competition. Â These heavy-duty cat shelves are made of wood veneer and come in mahogany or espresso. Â The Refined Feline covers all the bases from providing wooden screw caps to cover unsightly holes to velcro carpet coverings to make cleaning a breeze. Â At over 5 feet in length, the Lotus Branch Cat Shelf is the largest cat shelf we've seen. Â So while these shelves come at a hefty price, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Best Value
The Refined Feline Cat Clouds Cat Shelf is a sleek looking piece of furniture that both you and your cat will love. These heavy-duty metal cat shelves are incredibly durable. And the faux sheepskin pads ensure they are comfortable and safe for your cat to climb or lounge on. Â These cat shelves made our list of Top Picks because they are high quality and affordably priced. Â For about $100 you can have ample climbing and lounging space for 2 cats. Â Most of the cat shelves we've reviewed are smaller and cost twice as much. Â So if you're looking for a great value and you're not interested in building your own cat shelves, the Cat Clouds are an excellent choice.Â
