“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: "I am very happy with this purchase. I spent a lot of time searching in person and online for the right cat tree. It really is the perfect size. The top platform is very roomy and looks very comfortable. Large cats will have plenty of room to lounge or nap. The bottom condo is also spacious and cozy. It took less than a minute to put it together. It is also very well built and sturdy. The vertical design is great because it does not take up much space. It also has very neutral colors, which will fit nicely in any home. The price is very good for such a nice product. Be mindful that your cat will not be able to jump from the top of the condo to the top platform. This is because of the design. The top platform is a bit wider than the base, which I knew before I ordered. Most cats will be fine jumping up and down, but if you have an older cat and are concerned, provide them with a step stool or something next to the tree. That being said, this tree is an excellent value." —erica

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: "This is a perfect cat tower for your cats. Perfect height and plenty of room for your furry companions. Easy to maintain and not too heavy to move wherever you want it. Nicely built and a great color, goes with any color scheme you have." —Dan Felten

Get the XL cat condo from Amazon for $62.99+ (available in five colors and also in three smaller sizes).

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 for surveying 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 review: "I bought this for my LARGE one-year-old 12lb Sphynx kitten so he could escape the dog. My cat, Loki, absolutely loves it. He scales it and perches at the top overlooking his entire kingdom. It’s become his favorite spot in the house. It’s extremely sturdy and well-built. Even with Loki jumping, climbing, and launching himself from platform to platform, it never wobbles. The height is perfect, and it fits nicely in the corner without taking over the whole room. The color also blends well with the rest of my furniture. Everything came clearly labeled, and I assembled it myself in about an hour. Installation Hack: Attach an Allen wrench bit to an electric screwdriver; it makes the whole setup much faster!" —Briana

Get it from Chewy for $139.09 (available in two colors).

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 $39.99 (also 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 $118.99+ (available in three 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 $39.99+ (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 $60.79 (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 $105.69+ (available in six colors).

A 71-inch cat tower if you have a ton of open space, because this tower is like the cat's version of the McDonald's playground. Boasting six tiers, it can fit five to eight fully grown cats. Plus it comes with three caves, a scratch board, and two hanging pom poms! 

Promising review: "This was worth every penny! My kittens are obsessed with their new cat tree! I’ve had it for about a week now and it’s right outside our bedroom and every single morning I wake up to them sleeping in or playing on their tree! It was super easy and fun to put together, it’s really sturdy and well made, the instructions were easy to read, and it is so soft and comfortable for the kitties! Highly recommend!!!" —Autumn S

A floor to ceiling cat tree for those low on space but still want to give your cats a place to exert their energy. Held secure with triple bolts at the top, this tree isn't going ANYWHERE.

Promising review: "This was exactly what I was looking for for my big Boy! He loves climbing but he’s a large cat! Early and Birdie approve of this floor to ceiling cat post so they can get to the top of the entertainment center and look out the window! I arranged it the way I wanted and took my time deciding what works! Very flexible with where you locate the different perches and sturdy once in place! Use a level and make sure it’s completely vertically aligned for maximum strength. You will need a ladder and a tape measure to plan! Highly recommend measuring the pieces and thinking about what your cats will like from step one!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $145.79+ (available in two heights).

A cat tree with leaves — while it's incredibly sturdy, it'll also conceal itself and won't look like an eyesore smack dab in the center of your living room wall. 

Promising review: "I finally put the tree together and my cat LOVES IT!!!! He has been in it since I put it together a half hour ago. The tree is very sturdy, he has been jumping on it, scratching on it, swatting at the leaves and now he’s lying on the middle section. He knew right away that the middle (tree trunk) part was for scratching ( hopefully he will now leave my door frames alone) . He’s a fairly large cat and the tree can take whatever he does to it. The assembly was very easy. I hope everyone’s cat loves it as much as mine does." —Amazon Customer

A plush cat tree that looks more like a royal throne. It's perfect for your pampered kitties that prefer more of a plush lounging area rather than a hard surface.

Promising review: "All three of our cats just love their new cat post." —Colin

Get it from Wayfair for $217.99 (originally $539).

A fun giraffe cat tree for a cat owner who wants something that looks less like a cat tree and more like a decor item. Not only is it cute to look at, but it also functions as both a cat tree and a condo.

Promising review: "I love a cat tree that actually looks good with my decor. I am so glad companies have figured out that we aren't all ok with a country blue carpeted version just because that is all that is available. I have four male cats, and they all took to it within days, except for one. I was waiting to review to include pics of the four using it. Apparently, today was the day that Crowley decided to try out the giraffe (SEVEN MONTHS LATER. SOOOO cat of him). This thing is so sturdy and looks great. Nobody has used it for scratching yet — to them, it is a bed. Looks great in my Pier 1 safari-ish living room. Thrilled with this purchase. It is often out of stock, but if you are patient, you can get yours too." —Jill
