Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Garvee Cat Tree.

• Space Capsule: The transparent acrylic space capsule can be easily wiped clean with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
• Litter Box Enclosure: Clean the interior of the enclosure regularly, especially if used for a litter box, to maintain hygiene.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Slippery Surfaces: If your cat struggles with traction on wooden platforms, consider adding adhesive non-slip strips or small carpet squares to provide better grip.
• Instability/Wobbling: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify the cat tree is placed on a level surface. If issues persist, re-check assembly steps.
• Cat Not Using Features: Introduce your cat to different areas with treats or toys. Some cats may need time to adjust to new structures.
• Size Concerns: While designed for various cat sizes, some reviews indicate it may be more suitable for kittens or smaller adult cats. Ensure your cat can comfortably navigate all levels.
