The Benefits of Recycled Felt
If you’re the kind of pet parent who recycles religiously, composts like a champ, and would rather walk barefoot on Lego than buy fast furniture, you're in the right place.
At Pryde Pets, we’re not just talking about scratching posts and cat trees that take over your lounge like some beige monstrosity from 2003, we’re talking about a new generation of eco-friendly cat shelves, sleek, modern, and made from recycled felt that even your most judgmental tabby will approve of.
Let’s dig our claws into why sustainable cat furniture is winning the hearts (and paws) of eco-conscious pet owners everywhere.
Why Felt? Why Now?
Cats are connoisseurs of comfort. They’ll ignore a $300 cat bed for a cardboard box because the vibe just isn’t right. That’s where recycled felt comes in, it's tactile, soft, warm under the toe beans, and perfect for head boops.
But this isn’t just any felt. Pryde Pets’ cat shelves are crafted from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles.
What was once a lonely soda bottle now lives its best life as your cat’s favorite lounging spot. Who knew sustainability could feel this snuggly?
Sustainability Without Sacrifice
One of the biggest myths about sustainable cat furniture is that you have to compromise on aesthetics or durability. At Pryde Pets, we call meow-sense on that.
Our award winning wall-mounted eco-friendly cat shelves look like something out of a Scandinavian design magazine, minimalist, stylish, and purr-fectly suited to modern interiors.
And the best part? They’re tough enough to handle your cat’s midnight zoomies, dramatic leaps, and Oscar-worthy lounging sessions.
We’ve created a range that’s:
-
✅ Made from recycled materials
-
✅ Engineered for feline agility and comfort
-
✅ Free from hard or sharp surfaces
-
✅ Designed to save space without sacrificing style
Because being good to the planet shouldn't mean settling for ugly or flimsy furniture.
More Than Just a Shelf: A Vertical Playground
Let’s paws for a moment and talk about why cat shelves matter.
Cats are natural climbers. In the wild, they scale trees to hunt, rest, or escape unwanted attention from, say, overly affectionate dogs or clingy humans.
Wall-mounted shelves satisfy this instinct in a safe, enriching, indoor-friendly way.
Our recycled felt cat furniture offers:
-
Mental stimulation: Leaping from shelf to shelf is like a feline obstacle course, great for brain and body!
-
Exercise for indoor cats: Promote balance, strength, and agility without needing a backyard.
-
Defined territories: For multi-cat homes, wall shelves offer separate zones, aka a drama-free household.
-
Safe hideaways: Elevated shelves are the ultimate retreat when your cat needs to zen out away from the chaos.
Think of it as a five-star cat hotel, built right into your walls.
Modular, Customisable & Just Plain Meow-vellous
Every cat is different, from the bold explorer to the shy observer. That’s why our eco-friendly cat shelves are modular by design. You can mix, match, stack, and rearrange to your heart’s (and your cat’s) content.
Start simple with one or two shelves, or create an epic cat superhighway around your home. As your feline family grows, or your kitty finds their new favorite napping nook, you can easily adapt the setup.
Pryde’s award winning sustainable cat furniture is as flexible as a cat in downward dog, and it looks so good, you’ll want to show it off, not hide it behind the couch.
Recycled Felt: Small Material, Big Impact
Let’s circle back to the material of the moment, recycled PET felt.
Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
-
Reduces landfill waste: Every shelf helps divert plastic bottles from oceans and landfills.
-
Energy efficient: Recycled PET uses significantly less energy to produce compared to virgin plastics or traditional textiles.
-
Non-toxic & safe: No nasties here, our felt is safe for your cat to rub, nap, and knead to their heart’s content.
-
Durable AF: Unlike cardboard scratchers or flimsy alternatives, this felt doesn’t fray or fall apart.
So, every time your cat curls up on their recycled felt cat furniture, you’re making a tangible pawprint of change for your home and the planet.
