"I have a chonky Ragdoll and this tower suits her magnificent stature, unlike some other towers that appear to have been made for kittens."

Cats come in all shapes and sizes, and if your kitty is on the larger side, shopping for a cat tree that will actually support their stature can be difficult. You want a tree that will be stable and not wobble (or at least not tip over entirely when your cat runs and jumps on it at full speed), with features they can actually use, like wide perches and spacious cubby holes. Instead of staring at pictures of cat towers with fake, photoshopped cats on them and trying to figure out how big they actually are, let us help. These are the best cat trees for large cats, according to actual reviewers who own big breeds like Maine Coons and Ragdolls...or just regular kitties who are, well, a bit on the chonky side (that just means there's more to love).

A Trixie Fonda XXL cat tree designed for large breeds, with a spacious cubby at the bottom and a wide perch on top. The cat pictured above, Simba, is 23 pounds — his owner says he fits inside the cubby, too! The slim, vertical design also makes it perfect for small spaces.

Promising review: "Great for extra-large cats! This has been an instant hit with all of our fur babies. We have three large adult cats (16, 14, and 12 pounds) — everything is big here in Alaska! We also have one medium-sized kitten. We have it by one of our front windows and have a set of steps by it so the elderly cat can get up and sit there to watch the moose in our yard. The scratching posts are used a lot and have yet to fray! The top bed is large enough for the Maine Coon/Nebelung, and the house at the bottom is a perfect place to retreat from obnoxious kittens. I cannot say enough good about the quality, sturdiness and size of this cat perch." —Flymunkay

A Feandrea cat condo with not one but *two* caves for your kitties to hide away in. The top perch is about as spacious as it gets when it comes to cat trees — one extra-large cat can sprawl out up there, or several large cats can snuggle up. And though the wide base should help prevent wobbling, the tree comes with an anti-tip kit for extra stability. I also love that this tree comes in more than just your usual black and beige options — the cream white and jelly pink shades are particularly cute!

Promising review: "Great cat tree. It's big enough that both of my cats can lie on it together, and my 20-pound tom cat actually fits in the box, where he sleeps for hours. It holds up well to him jumping on and off of it without banging into the wall. They love the thistle rope scratchers and running and jumping on it." —Jessica S.

A heavy-duty Frisco XXL cat tree made for even the chonkiest cats, complete with *two* hidey holes they can actually squeeze into (see the cutie on the right above) and six platforms, including a large perch at the top they can use to survey their domain. Sometimes, their "domain" is just a one-bedroom apartment, but this over-6-foot-tall tree will give them so much more vertical space to enjoy!

Promising reviews: "We’ve had this tree for a few years now, we have four cats and they absolutely love it! It’s HUGE and way sturdier than any cat tree I’ve ever had. Our almost 5-year-old [human child] has climbed on it a few times (he’s 35 pounds), and it is able to hold his weight effortlessly. Amazing quality and affordable price! If there was anything I could change about it, it would only be the quality of the scratching posts. Our cats have torn them to shreds." —Keirsten

A beautiful Mau Ivy 3 cat tree that'll last you many years, since every single part on the tree is replaceable, from the woven baskets to the sisal scratching material. Designed for cats up to 23 pounds, the Ivy 3 is super sturdy thanks to the square wooden base, which keeps it secure when cats jump on and off. And the woven baskets are large and supportive — enough to comfortably hold just about any cat, IMO.

I've had the Ivy 3 for several years now, and it's held up beautifully despite heavy use from my two cats. It was a replacement for an older, cheaper cat tree, and I was ready to invest in something nicer. After extensive market research, I realized Mau had everything I was looking for: the quality and durability, the chic modern look, and the option to replace parts that my cats may eventually wear down with time. Also, you can purchase the cushions and pom-pom balls for your tower in different colors, with some really gorgeous shade options! 

Most importantly, though, my cats ADORE this tree. They took to it instantly and are in it every single day. Chicho loves to scratch on the sisal rope and also climb all the way up the tree, sometimes playfully swatting at his brother napping in one of the baskets. It's been the best purchase and makes my cats so happy. So if you're looking for something a little nicer, I can't recommend this brand more!

Get it from Mau for $329 (available in two colors).

A funky leopard-print cat condo — a "big cat"–inspired style appropriate for your own big cat. It's rare to find a cat tree with a design this cool and a sturdy frame that's actually supportive, too. Both the plush perch and the condo are super spacious, and the sisal scratching posts are nice and long for your kitty to flex their claws on.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Karly Jacklin is a proud owner of this cat tree: "My cats love this thing. My little kitten Jezebel has claimed the top as her own (seriously, she loves this thing), but my mammoth boy Archie (he's 20 pounds!) fits comfortably in the condo. I bought this in a hurry after Jez kept trying to knock my TV over — she really wanted to be involved in the football game my boyfriend and I were watching — and it has (*knocks on wood*) solved that issue. She can entertain herself for a while with the bell toy and scratchers, and then once she's tired herself out, she'll take a long nap up on the perch. And, at under $40, this is a GREAT budget cat tree."

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in five other styles). 

A sleek, modern Pequlti cat tree with a detachable swing tunnel, an extra-large hammock, and wide platforms that even your larger breeds can comfortably lounge on. And if they're shedders, you're also in luck, because the bedding on the top platform (as well as the mats on the lower two tiers) is removable and washable. 

Promising review: "Our very large cats adore it. I have an 18-pound Ragdoll and a 14-pound Angora. They love this new scratcher, and each has their own favorite spot. It is easy for them to get up on, scratch, and gives them separate spaces to rest. They love this way more than their old scratcher. Also very sturdy for our big boy who likes to WHOMP up on the cat scratcher." —L. G. Saya

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jessica Hall also vouches for this tower: "I didn't want the regular, less-than-appealing tan tower that was in my old apartment, so I searched for a while to find one that was cute but still tall enough for my cats to run and play on. I was so excited when I found this one because it is still over four feet tall and has a bunch of different soft and comfy places for them to take naps. We had to turn the little hammock part around because the space we were putting it in was too narrow, but it still works totally fine and has become the favorite nap spot of Alfie."

A whimsical Happy & Polly tulip cat tree that'll make your living room feel a little more like the garden from Alice in Wonderland (in the best way). But while it looks like a flower, this tree isn't delicate like one — the iron framework can support several cats up to 18 pounds. And the plush beds inside the "tulips" will be their favorite place to curl up and doze!

Happy & Polly is a small business with an incredible collection of cutesy cat and dog products, from carriers and scratching posts to water fountains and even apparel. I've personally bought from them before (food-related accessories, like bowls and a mat), and the items are just as cute in person. 

Promising review: "We purchased this cat tree for our bedroom because all four of our cats love to sleep in bed with us and we simply don’t have the space for all of them. 😂 They LOVE this tree!! The beds are so soft and comfy and BIG, we often find several cats cuddled up in them. My 10-pound cat and 17-pound cat share the top bed." —Leah GT

Get it from Happy & Polly for $239.99 (originally $289.99; available with pink or yellow flowers).

A 3-in-1 Feandrea cat tower, litter box enclosure, and food station, because we love a multi-tasking product, especially when space is limited. There's room in the bottom cabinet for a litter box, which cats can access through a discreet opening on the side of the tower — and on the other side, there's a slim cabinet for stashing supplies like food or litter. Higher up, there's even an elevated food station with two stainless steel bowls. Dog owners, you'll probably see the bonus appeal of this tower immediately: The design keeps curious pups out of the cat's litter box *and* their food. And of course, there's a comfy basket and padded perch up top, so this tower truly covers all their basic needs — fair warning, your cat might decide to never leave it.

Promising review: "It's sturdy and fits a very large litter box. This may be my favorite purchase in the past year. I've had issues with my German Shepherd eating my cat's food because it was in his sight; this is about 2 inches above his eye level. I'm 5'5 and the tree is taller than me. Very, very, very soft. It just looks amazing, and I'm super excited because I have paid more for cat trees that were much smaller and of lesser quality. It did take quite a while to put together, but as long as you have common sense and actually pay attention to where the holes should line up, you won't have an issue. My cat is a larger one, about 12–13 pounds, and he has no issue with any accessory.'" —Andrea

Get it from Amazon for $145.99 (available in two colors). 

A short, senior cat–friendly cat perch — because not all cats are jungle gym climbers, especially as they get older. This tree stands just 14 inches tall and has a scratcher ramp, so its plush perch is accessible for most cats, even those who are elderly or have limited mobility.

Promising review: "I ordered this for my larger senior cat as he can't jump very high anymore and needed something close to the ground for him. He is about 20 pounds and fits pretty well on the top. Seems like he is a little too big to be comfortable in the bottom cubby, but he still likes to get in there from time to time. Overall, this was a great buy for him; he enjoys taking his naps here. So far has been pretty sturdy and was easy to put together." —Katie H.

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors, a longer size, and a two-tier size).

A uniquely lovable Frisco llama cat tunnel and scratching post if you don't want to buy another boring piece of cat furniture — this whimsical piece from Chewy's Frisco brand has so much character, you'll probably have to name it (I mean, look at that lil' llama face!). This is actually the larger of Chewy's two llama cat trees — the smaller one is super cute too (and some reviewers ended up buying both!), but extra-large cats may not want to squeeze into the cubby hole. Reviewers report that this larger version with a tunnel, however, is big cat approved! They can access the tunnel through the sides or the hole on the top. 

Promising reviews: "My cat is massive. He is a lean 16 pounds. I have been looking for a smaller tree to replace his old favorite one. But I have been having problems finding something sturdy. This one is super sturdy and he loves it. Plus, it definitely has character! He loves sleeping in it." —Cassieandra14

"Normally, when you purchase a gift for your cat, they ignore it or just play with the box. This was the exception. They have not been out of it since it was put together. They seem to love the fact that it is open at both ends and on top. I am so glad I did not think twice about getting this. And I have large Ragdoll cats." —Mary

Get it from Chewy for $66.29 (also available in a sloth version).

A Pawz Road 72-inch cat tower that's very affordably priced for this size tree. Reviewers say their bigger cats enjoy this tree — one person's dog even got up there — but they do recommend anchoring it to the wall (the hardware is included!) for extra stability. It has an extra-wide hammock in the middle that's perfect for larger breeds, though the two highest perches might be better suited for smaller cats (so this could be a great option for a mixed-size feline household). It also comes in some super cute designs, like pastel flower-themed options and a Gothic, vampire-inspired one (if your heart beats for Halloween year-round).

Promising review: "I have two hefty cats, about 20 pounds each. They love this thing, always playing and just sleeping on it. Love the scratch post on it. It can be a bit wobbly, but as I said, my cats are pretty large. Smaller cats would do just fine on it. And it's very easy to put together. It's soft and lightweight, so it's easy to move around if needed." —Amazon Customer

A magnificent Cat Tree King corner cat tree if you're ready to invest in a true palace for your ~large-boned~ felines. The sisal poles are THICK (5 inches!), the hammocks are genuinely spacious at 18 inches in diameter, the hideaway is huge, and the lounge area at the top is designed to accommodate the largest breeds: Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats, Persians, and more. Every piece of this tree is thoughtfully designed to be sturdy and durable, and it even has an angled design so it will *actually* fit in the corner of a room, rather than awkwardly butting up against the walls. 

Founded in 2002, Cat Tree King is a small business that's based in Belgium, with US-based warehouses in California and Georgia. As the name implies, they specialize in cat trees and scratching posts, and they design products with large cat breeds in mind! You can check out all their cat trees for more options.

Promising review: "This is the best quality cat tree I have ever seen. I have one Maine Coon (Marley, 6) and a large long-haired (Kiwi, 3). Not only do they both fit on it, together, but they LOVE it. One will be on the penthouse level while the other is in one of the hammock baskets, or they will switch. I cannot believe how quickly they took to it. Marley was already hopping on it as we assembled it. It is well built, sturdy — even with my big boys on it — and the fabric is really luxurious. I wish I had known about your company sooner." —Bridie

A vibrant Vetreska "Fruit Frenzy" cat climber proving you don't *have* to sacrifice aesthetic for functionality. This adorable tree will become a statement piece in your home, with four colorful levels covered in high-density teddy fleece that are designed to look like a tangerine, watermelon, cherry, and peach (four superior fruits!). I recommend checking out the reviewer pics for this tree if you're not sure about the size — the platforms are surprisingly wide and support even larger kitties. 

Promising reviews: "Perfect for thick bois. Not only is this the cutest cat tree ever, but my three very large cats can all comfortably sit on it." —Lexi

"Firstly, I have to say, for how heinous cat trees usually are, this has to be one of the best on this site. I have tried so many different ones, and they were all wobbly, ugly, and just overall small. I have a big cat, he's 15 pounds and a very long boy, but this cat tree fits him perfectly and barely wobbles when he jumps on and off. When I say these platforms are huge, they're huge, so I honestly think it was worth the money. It's overall pretty high quality, minus the screwdriver they give you for assembly. All in all, the assembly was easy, and both my cats were literally jumping on it as we put it together. Can't say enough good things." —Megan B.

A three-tier modern cat condo if you're not into the look of carpeted cat trees, but still want something that's on the affordable side. Reviewers say it's sturdy enough for larger cats and LOVE that it's so easy to clean: Just pop the removable cushions in the washing machine and wipe down the smooth particle board as needed. The design is sleek and unobtrusive — perfect if you want a cat tree that'll blend in with your other decor rather than draw a lot of attention.

Promising review: "My cats love this cat tree. It was very easy to assemble, and all parts were marked properly. This is a very sturdy cat tree. I have a Maine Coon mix and a 14-pound cat and they can sit on the top of the tree at the same time and look out the window. This is the only cat tree I have found that has such a large base and top, which makes the tree so sturdy and is great for large cats. The tree is also nice-looking and is different from the usual carpeted cat trees. The only downside is that it's so tall that it may be difficult for some cats to jump from the floor to the top of the tree. As long as there is something shorter nearby, like a chair or windowsill, cats should be able to reach the top and enjoy the view. I would recommend this product." —JAK

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three colors and in smaller sizes). 

A Globlazer cat tree capable of supporting cats over 20 pounds, with a sturdy base and anti-tip straps included to anchor it down further. This particular tree even comes with a bonus pet bed that can go at the bottom, perfect for cats who can't always jump up high, or small dogs who like to hang near the kitties.

Promising review: "Our kitties absolutely love the space! The Maine Coon mixes are 14 and 19 pounds, and they have plenty of room to hang out together. The five levels give room for all three cats. Highly recommend for large cats and several kitty houses." —Brooke

"I have four Maine Coons and an American shorthair Burmese mix. Very sturdy. My boys are 23 and 25 pounds." —Brooke Wise

Get it from Amazon for $116.99 (available in six other styles).
