Cat Wall Shelves
Cat wall shelves are platforms, branches, bridges, and hammocks in hardwood plywood that build cat routes and lookout points up high, without using any floor space. You combine the pieces freely and add scratching posts and other PRASKA modules whenever you like. Every shelf is handmade in Poland and customized (plywood color, fabric, extras), and a hidden mounting system with no visible hardware makes the whole thing look like a piece of interior design. Platforms hold up to 110 lbs (50 kg), which works just as well for small cats as for large breeds such as Maine Coon or Ragdoll.

Why height matters to a cat
A cat watching the house from up high has the same advantage its wild ancestors had in a tree - it sees more, controls more, and feels less exposed. The floor is shared space, crossed by everyone in the household, human or animal. Height is territory a cat can claim as entirely its own.
What types of shelf does PRASKA offer?
This category brings together several product families, each playing a different role in the wall system:
- Simple platforms - (LEVEL, OVALSLEEP, OVALREST, CLASSIC Shelf, SOLO, ShelfSoft) - a basic resting or lookout point, some with a bed built in.
- Decorative branches - (the GAŁĄŹ A-H series) - an irregular, organic shape echoing a tree, some with a bed or hammock built into the structure.
- Ready-made sets - a configured combination of several platforms, branches, and bridges in one order, a quicker start than putting pieces together yourself.
- Ceiling shelves - (CIRCLE L, CIRCLE XL) - extend the route right up to the ceiling for cats that love the maximum height.
- Steps and connecting walkways - (STOPIEŃ, KŁADKA-DRAPAK) - smaller intermediate pieces that make it easier to cover a longer distance between two main platforms.
Accessories and customization
Most platforms and branches can be equipped or refreshed without replacing the whole piece:
- Extra hammocks - add one to a shelf you already own, available in several sizes matched to specific models.
- Replaceable beds and nests - in sizes from 14 × 14 in to 29.5 × 14 in (35 × 35 cm to 75 × 35 cm), removable for washing, color-matched to your collection.
- Replaceable cushions - the insert for a nest or bed on its own, without replacing the whole piece.
- Replaceable felt - the scratching surface on platforms and steps, in sizes matched to specific models.
The ShelfSoft model also has side mounting holes designed for expansion - built from the outset with adding further pieces in mind, not just as a single shelf.
How to build a system from shelves
A single shelf is a point. A system is a route. Every PRASKA piece connects with the rest of the range:
- Shelf sets - a ready-made configuration, a good starting point if you're building a system from scratch.
- Trees - a multi-level structure you can add individual shelves to as waypoints.
- Bridges and hammocks - connect two shelves, or a shelf and a tree, into one continuous route.
- You can expand the configuration whenever you like - there's no need to design the whole wall at once.
Installation and weight capacity
Every shelf holds up to 110 lbs (50 kg), so the structure absorbs a large cat's jump without flexing. Installation on a concrete or brick wall needs standard wall anchors; on drywall, toggle bolts spread the load over a wider area. A hidden mounting system with no visible hardware means the finished shelf looks like a piece of interior design, not an add-on accessory.
What's the difference between a platform and a branch?
A platform has a regular, geometric shape (oval, rectangle). A branch has an irregular, organic silhouette that echoes a tree. Both serve the same purpose - a resting or lookout point - and differ mainly in style.
What bed and nest sizes fit the shelves?
The most common sizes are 14×14 in, 19.7×14 in, 23.6×12.6 in, and 29.5×14 in (35×35 cm, 50×35 cm, 60×32 cm, and 75×35 cm), matched to specific platform and branch models. The accessories section shows which bed fits which model.
Can I expand the system with more pieces later?
Yes. All PRASKA pieces connect with each other, so you can start with a single platform and add more shelves, a bridge, or a tree over time. The ShelfSoft model also has dedicated mounting holes for expansion.
Which shelves work well for a large cat, like a Maine Coon?
All PRASKA platforms hold up to 110 lbs (50 kg), so weight capacity isn't the limiting factor. For large breeds, it's really about the resting surface - the larger models in the GAŁĄŹ series and the ready-made sets give more room than the smallest STOPIEŃ-type platforms.
Can the fabric on a shelf be replaced?
Yes - beds, nests, and cushions are all removable, so you can wash them or swap the color without replacing the whole shelf.
