• Place the cat tree on a flat, stable surface to prevent wobbling or tipping.
• Regularly inspect all components for wear and tear, especially scratching posts and hanging toys. Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Keep the cat tree indoors and in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Ensure all screws and connections are tightened securely during assembly and periodically thereafter.
• This product is designed for house-cats. Supervise young kittens or elderly cats during initial use.

Package Contents

Before assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. The package should contain:

• Cat Tree Structure (various platforms, posts, condo, hammock)
• Accessory Kit (screws, connectors, tools)
• Anti-Tip Kit (wall anchor, strap)
• Dangling Plush Ball and Teaser Stick

Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires one person and approximately 20-30 minutes. Follow these general steps:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components and compare them with the parts list in your included manual.
2. Prepare Fabric Holes: Some fabric holes for screws may not be fully punched through. Use scissors to carefully create a clear opening if needed.
3. Assemble Base: Attach the lowest posts to the base platform.
4. Construct Condo Levels: The cat condo arrives flat. Attach the small internal poles to each corner using screws, securing the top screw first for easier alignment. For best results, attach diagonal poles first.
5. Build Upwards: Continue attaching platforms and posts layer by layer. Ensure poles are aligned correctly; a gentle touch may be needed to fit them into subsequent levels. Avoid overtightening screws until the structure is complete.
6. Attach Hammock and Perches: Secure the hammock and top perches according to the diagram.
7. Install Dangling Toys: Attach the plush ball and teaser stick to their designated points.
8. Secure with Anti-Tip Kit: Once fully assembled, position the cat tree in its desired location. Use the anti-tip kit to secure the top of the cat tree to a wall stud. This significantly enhances stability.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Heybly Cat Tree:

• Cleaning: The plush fabric components, including the top perch padding, can be dry cleaned. For minor spills or dirt, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Dusting: Regularly vacuum or brush the plush surfaces to remove loose fur and dust.
• Sisal Posts: Inspect sisal scratching posts for fraying. While sisal is durable, heavy use will cause wear.
• Structural Integrity: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Environment: Keep the cat tree in a dry, indoor environment to prevent material degradation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Heybly Cat Tree, consider the following:

• Wobbling: If the cat tree feels unstable, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Re-check all screw connections for tightness. Confirm the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to a wall stud.
• Parts Missing/Damaged: If any parts were missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact Heybly customer support immediately for assistance.
• Cats Not Using It: Introduce your cat to the tree gradually. Use catnip, treats, or favorite toys to encourage exploration. Place it near a window or a favorite resting spot.
