Why do breeders from over 30 countries choose PRASKA products?
When I founded the PRASKA brand, I didn't plan to create just another cat furniture store.
I wanted to create products that I needed in my own cattery. Products that are durable, practical, and comfortable. Ones that will work well for a single cat, as well as for a mother cat with a litter, an adult stud, or a large Maine Coon.
It was exactly from my own cattery that it all began.
Today, PRASKA products reach catteries in over 30 countries worldwide, and over the years, more than 1,300 catteries have already trusted us.
This is a source of great pride for me, but above all, a huge responsibility.
For over 14 years, I have been breeding pedigreed cats
I do not design products solely as a manufacturer. First and foremost, I am a breeder.
For over 14 years, I have been observing cats every day. Not just for a moment. Not during a single visit. But every single day.
I observe where they sleep. How they rest. How they raise kittens. How they resolve conflicts. Which places they choose most often. How they react to new products. How young cats behave. How the needs of older cats change.
It is precisely these daily observations that are the foundation of every PRASKA product. Not a catalog. Not a trend. Not inspiration from the internet. Just real life with cats.
The first products were created because I needed them myself
For years, I searched for products that would work well in my cattery.
Very often it turned out that the bed was too small. The cat cave collapsed after a few washes. The shelf was too short for a Maine Coon. The scratching post wobbled during a jump.
Instead of looking for compromises, I started designing my own solutions. First for my own cats. Only later did other breeders start asking about them.
This is how the PRASKA brand was born.
Every new product first goes to my cattery
This is a stage that most customers never see.
I first test every new model in my own cattery. Only later does it go to breeders cooperating with the PRASKA brand.
For many weeks we observe: whether cats eagerly use the product, whether they return to it every day, whether they have enough space, whether the structure remains stable, what else can be improved.
Only after completing the tests and implementing all corrections does the product go on sale.
Breeders pay attention to things that are often not visible in photos
A person buying a single bed often pays attention primarily to appearance. A breeder looks at it completely differently.
Durability matters. Ease of keeping it clean. The ability to wash it. Stability of the structure. Resilience during intensive use. The ability to replace the cushion.
This is exactly why many solutions used in PRASKA products were created thanks to conversations with breeders and their daily experiences.
Personalization matters
There are no two identical catteries. Therefore, from the beginning, I have allowed the choice of: plywood color, fabric, fur, size, and finish.
Thanks to this, each product can be tailored both to the needs of the cats and the character of a specific cattery.
VIP Breeders Club
Over the years, I noticed something that gives me huge satisfaction. Breeders kept coming back. First for one bed. Later for another. Then they furnished subsequent rooms.
This is how the VIP Breeders Club was created. It is a form of thanking the people who for years have co-created the PRASKA brand with their experience, feedback, and trust.
Returning breeders are the greatest recommendation
I never claim that our products are the best.
For me, the situations with the greatest value are when a breeder returns for another product. It means that it proved itself in daily use. That the cats accepted it. And that it fulfilled its purpose.
Over the years, more than 1,300 catteries from over 30 countries worldwide have already trusted us. For me, this is the greatest motivation for further development.
PRASKA grows together with breeders
I still run my cattery every day. I still observe cats. I still test new solutions. I still talk with breeders from different countries.
It is thanks to this that PRASKA is not created at a desk. It is created where cats truly live.
Many PRASKA products were created thanks to the suggestions of breeders who for years have shared their experiences of daily work with cats with me. Their feedback, ideas, and observations help me improve successive solutions, which is why every new collection is the result not only of my experience but also of cooperation with breeders from many countries around the world.
Therefore, every new product goes through the same path. First, daily observation. Later, a design. Prototype. Tests. Corrections. And only then does it go on sale.
In conclusion…
I didn't want to create a brand for everyone. I wanted to create products that I needed myself as a breeder.
Today, when I see PRASKA products in catteries on different continents, I know that it was worth following exactly this path.
Because the greatest value is not numbers. The greatest value is the trust of over 1,300 catteries from over 30 countries worldwide, which every day entrust to our products what is most precious to them – their cats.
For over 14 years, I have been breeding pedigreed cats. Every day I observe their behavior, test new solutions, and talk with breeders from various countries around the world. This trust obliges me to constantly develop products in line with what cats and their caregivers truly need. 🤍
