How to Assemble a Multi-Level Cat Tower with Two Enclosed Hideaways

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. You should have a base platform, two wooden condos (one with a round cutout, the other with a cat-head silhouette), multiple sisal-wrapped posts, several perch boards, a ramp or ladder, and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, and possibly Allen wrenches). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Securing the Base & Initial Posts

Instruction: Position the base platform on the floor. Identify the first set of sisal-wrapped posts to support the lower condo and perches. Align each post with the pre-drilled holes on the base, then secure them with bolts or screws. Keep the hardware slightly loose so you can adjust alignment if needed.

Step 3: Installing the Lower Condo & Ramp

Instruction: Once the initial posts are in place, place the lower condo (with the round cutout) onto the designated posts. Match the condo’s underside holes with the top of each post and fasten with screws. If your design includes a ramp or ladder, attach it to the condo’s entrance using the provided brackets or hooks.

Step 4: Building Upward with Additional Posts & the Upper Condo

Instruction: Position the next set of sisal-wrapped posts on top of the lower condo. Secure them using bolts or screws through the condo’s roof panel. Then, place the upper condo (featuring the cat-head cutout) on these posts, aligning the pre-drilled holes. Attach any intermediate perches or platforms according to the manual, ensuring each one is level before tightening the hardware.

Step 5: Final Perches & Stability Check

Instruction: Attach the remaining perch boards at the top level. Secure them to the posts with the provided bolts, leaving no gaps. Gently shake the entire tower to confirm stability. Tighten any loose bolts or screws, then wipe down any dust. Finally, place your new cat tower in a safe corner—your cat will love exploring the condos, scratching the posts, and surveying the room from the top perches.

Conclusion

By following these five steps, you’ll have a sturdy cat tower that provides your pet with endless entertainment and cozy hideaways. The sisal-wrapped posts encourage healthy scratching habits, while the condos and elevated perches satisfy your cat’s desire to climb and observe their surroundings. Enjoy watching your feline friend explore and relax in their new vertical playground!
