I’m really happy with the Purrfect Perch so far. Only one of my two cats has tried it out, but she loves it. Nikita, who’s lithe and athletic, easily climbs up and enjoys lounging on the platform or perching on the steps. My bigger cat, Rudi, weighs about 18 pounds and might have a harder time with the narrow steps—I see that other customers have made modifications with larger steps, platforms...might be worth giving customers these options.
Assembly was mostly straightforward, though the holes on the platform boards didn’t line up with the bracket at first. I contacted Purrfect Fence Support on a Saturday and got a response by Tuesday letting me know they were sending replacement cedar boards. To my surprise, they arrived already attached to a new bracket—excellent customer service! The picture with the pole tied to the patio post is before securing the pole with the self drilling / tapping screws.
The perch looks great in my backyard, is very sturdy and well-made, and I can already tell the cats are going to love it so I may need another one down the road. I live in the deep south so I hope it holds up to the elements. Highly recommend!
