"Cat furniture helps cats be happy."
It's a bold claim, but a quick glance through Vancouver-based Tuft + Paw's inventive and engaging selection of kitty beds, perches, and posts showcase a variety of ways to keep feline companions purring.
While kitty furniture isn't a novel concept, many the company's designs, as well as their approach to cat accessories, set the brand apart.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» spoke to Jackson Cunningham, founder of Tuft + Paw, who explained why he started the company.
"We started in 2016, after a few events coincided to create a good opportunity. I have an ecommerce background, and I was hoping to help my girlfriend start her own store (she loves cats)," he said. "We also just arrived back from a trip to South America where homeless cats were extremely commonplace. And we just rescued our own cat and were having an incredibly hard time finding nice cat furniture."
Cunningham notes that Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»real estate is expensive, and therefore many cat-owners live in small apartments and lofts. A tacky scratching post is an eye-sore in any room, but it is especially noticeable in a smaller home.
