A Quick Look at Our Favorites in 2024

The 10 Best Cat Trees for Ragdolls

1. BEAU JARDIN Cat Tree for Large Cats – Best Overall

Our choice for the best overall cat tree for Ragdolls is the Beau Jardin Cat Tree for Large Cats. This cat tree is designed with large cats, like your Ragdoll in mind. The overall height of this tree is 32 inches which makes it the perfect perch for cats who prefer staying close to the ground. The upper perch features plush padding and is large enough for cats of all sizes to relax. The two condos are roomy and plush for kitties who prefer napping in solitude.

The scratching posts are covered in sisal to allow your cat the freedom to mark this cat tree as their own. Additional stability is added for large breeds thanks to the thick boards used in construction. The only true downside we found with this cat tree is the plush padding. This material doesn’t seem as durable as one might expect and is used inside the cat condos instead of reinforced sides for longevity.

2. Trixie Baza Cat Tree – Best Value

The Trixie Baza Cat Tree is our pick for the best cat tree for Ragdolls for the money. This cat tree is budget-friendly while offering your Ragdoll all the space it needs for a comfy and relaxing day. Featuring one level, the Trixie hammock is the perfect place for your cat to snooze thanks to its super soft plush material. If your cat prefers to scratch, the sisal-wrapped scratching posts provide adequate space for them to keep their claws sharp and avoid doing so on your furniture. You’ll also find a toy included to give your Ragdoll something to play with while enjoying their new perch.

This cat tree is ideal for Ragdoll owners who don’t have a lot of room in the home. It is small and able to fit into most rooms of the house without issue. Keep in mind, however, this cat tree weighs only 8 pounds. While it may be sturdy enough to hold large cats, aggressive play may send it toppling over.

3. Go Pet Club Cat Tree & Condo – Premium Choice

If you’re planning to splurge on your cat, the Go Pet Club 62-in Faux Fur Cat Tree & Condo is the perfect way to do it. This cat tree offers everything your cat could want. Featuring several perches, caves, hammocks, jelly rolls, and several scratching posts, this cat tree is ideal for a pampered puss or a home with multiple cats who need to lounge around. Each perch uses raised ledges to ensure cats don’t roll off during nap time. The entire condo is covered in faux fur to make your Ragdolls feel as though they are sleeping on ultimate softness. If your Ragdoll is active and enjoys toys, the featured hanging rope will give them hours of fun.

The only true downside we found with the Go Pet Club Cat Tree & Condo is the sheer weight and size of it. If you’re hoping for a cat tree that doesn’t take up much space or is easy to move, this isn’t the one. This should come as no surprise considering it is our Premium Choice Cat Tree for Ragdolls.

4. FEANDREA Cat Tree for Kittens – Best for Kittens

The FEANDREA Cat Tree is a great way to entertain active kittens, supply them with adequate scratching areas, and give them a cozy retreat of their own. Featuring several removable ball toys, you and your Ragdoll kitten cat spend hours playing. When you’re too busy to play, they can attack the balls, climb, and be rambunctious all on their own. Pet owners need not worry about their young Ragdolls or even seniors navigating this cat tree due to the staircase-like design that offers easy ups and downs.

This cat tree is made from wood and is low to the ground making it sturdy enough for even the most active kittens. They’ll also enjoy the soft plush fabric covering when it comes time to relax and cuddle up for a nap. The sisal scratching posts are ideal for teaching your young Ragdoll the proper place to sharpen their claws.

The biggest downside we found with this cat tree is the size. While it is great for using when your Ragdoll is young, do not expect it to grow with them.

5. Frisco 28-in Faux Fur Cat Tree & Condo

The Frisco Cat Tree & Condo is another great option for people without a ton of space in their homes. This cat tree will easily fit in any room while still providing your Ragdoll with all the expected options cat trees provide. The multiple levels allow your cat to explore.

6. PetPals Paper Rope Bowl Shaped with Perch Cat Tree

The unique design of the PetPals New Paper Rope Natural Bowl Shaped with Perch Cat Tree makes this home addition pleasing to both cats and their owners. Using paper rope and fleece, this cat tree is designed to be both soft and warm for cats making it perfect for cool morning and winter months. This tree is another option for Ragdolls who prefer staying on the ground and avoiding higher areas. The sisal scratching posts also allow them to scratch without going far from their favorite perch.

While this cat tree looks great in the home, it does have a few downsides. Designed to be smaller and out of the way, the perches of this cat tree are very close together. If you have multiple cats this tree may not be the best choice. You’ll also find it only holds up to 25 pounds which means it is not suited for larger Ragdolls or those dealing with any weight issues.

You’ll feel at ease and worry less about tipping while your cats play on this cat tree due to its sturdy construction.

While this cat bed is very affordable, Ragdoll parents should keep their cat’s size in mind. The upper-level bed of this cat tree is a bit small in size. If you have a large ragdoll this area may not be very accommodating to them.

The Armarkat Faux Fleece Cat Tree & Condo is made especially for larger cats, including Ragdolls. If your Ragdoll likes exploring and has no issues with being off the ground, this multi-level play and rest area will be the perfect addition to your home. The tree is designed to be sturdy so larger cats can enjoy spending their time on it. Featuring roomy caves and perches, your cat will have ample area to spend their day without getting bored. If you have multiple cats in your home, this tree is a great addition as it can withstand quite a bit of weight.

The biggest downside we’ve found with this cat tree is the cost. While it does offer cats of all sizes a great place to relax and have fun, the cost is not very budget-friendly.

9. FEANDREA Multi-Level Cat Tree for Big Cats

The FEANDREA Multi-level Cat Tree may be one of the most sturdy on the list. This 40-pound tree is designed to keep larger cats comfortable and provide them with an area to play. With multiple cat caves, hammocks and perches, you can easily allow multiple Ragdolls to enjoy the fun on the soft, plush padding. They can also enjoy scratching on the sisal scratching posts when the need arises. You’ll also find this cat tree comes with an additional safety feature. It can be attached to the wall to help avoid tipping which may harm your Ragdoll.

While the additional safety feature is great for avoiding tipping, large cats may still find themselves struggling with this cat tree. Certain pedestals and perches aren’t overly sturdy. Ensuring this cat tree is assembled correctly will help but large breed cats may still have issues.

10. New Cat Condo Large Cat Play Perch

Last but not least on our list is the New Cat Condo Large Cat Play Perch. This condo is designed with stability in mind. Made from real wood, this cat tree can hold the weight of multiple large breed cats, and should adequately work for your Ragdoll. The two scratching areas feature sisal rope covering to make them last longer for your cat’s needs and enjoyment. You’ll also find each perch is covered in soft carpeting to make this tree more comfortable. Possibly the best thing about this cat tree is for the pet owner. This product comes already assembled and ready to use out of the box helping you avoid wasting precious time with construction.

The biggest issue we experienced with this cat tree is the covering of the scratching posts. Unlike most of the other cat trees we reviewed, the covering on this tree is quite thin. If your cat enjoys scratching, and does it often, you may find the covering is unable to stand up to their needs.

Buyer’s Guide: Finding The Best Cat Tree for Ragdolls

When choosing the perfect cat tree for your Ragdoll, it’s important to understand that every cat is different. While most Ragdolls are considered floor cats who prefer not to climb, others are daredevils who love spending time perched up high. This is why both low to the ground and multi-level cat trees and condos are included in this review. We want you to find the best one for your Ragdoll, not what others feel is best for them.

Ragdoll cats are mostly docile and loving. While they may prefer spending time in your lap, having a place to kick back and relax is a necessity. This is where a good cat tree comes in. Whether your Ragdoll simply uses a perch on the tree or a cozy cave, a cozy place to snooze is something they love. But there’s more a good cat tree can offer you and your Ragdoll.

Let’s take a look at a few of the things you should keep in mind when deciding which cat tree is best suited for your Ragdoll so you can achieve your goal of making them happy.

Scratching Posts

Like all cats, Ragdolls scratch. They may be considered one of the most laid-back kitties around, but that doesn’t mean they won’t sharpen their claws on your furniture if need be. When choosing a cat tree for your kitty, one with included scratching posts is ideal. You’ll find the material used for cat tree scratching posts varies between mostly sisal, jute, and carpet. No matter your preference in a post covering material, the main thing is coverage. A good scratching post should have a thick covering to withstand your cat’s scratching needs. A large cat, like a Ragdoll, will make quick work of flimsy coverings and find its way back to your furniture in no time.

Size of Your Ragdoll

As the pet parent of a Ragdoll cat, you understand the sizing of these adorable cats. Males can reach weights up to 20 pounds while most females start at 10 and top out at 15 pounds. Those are impressive sizes for cats. When choosing a cat tree for this breed it’s important to take their size and weight into consideration.

A sturdy cat tree, made from strong materials, is often best when it comes to larger cats. Whether your cat is a climber and in need of a tall tree, or a Ragdoll that prefers normal heights, check the building material before making any kind of decision.

It is also important to look at the dimensions of the perches, beds, and other accessories featured on the cat tree. If you have a larger Ragdoll, certain areas may be too small to accommodate their size. Instead of making your cat struggle to fit in these spaces, choose a cat tree better suited to its weight and size.

 Cat Tree Size

While you may want to have an elaborate cat tree in your home, it may not be possible. Cat trees come in all shapes and sizes. Some are geared for single cat homes while others can easily accommodate multiple cats without issue. Your home isn’t going to grow. That’s why it’s important to choose a cat tree that fits into your space. Small apartments aren’t the place to set up massive cat trees with multiple levels. Keep the space you have available for your cat’s new play area in mind before making your purchase.

Toys

As you can see from the reviews above, some cat trees come with toys. These toys are provided to give your cat something fun to do while they are exploring the perches and ledges of their cat tree. If you have an active Ragdoll who is toy crazy, choosing a cat tree with these extras will be great for your cat. If you have a Ragdoll who feels playing is beneath them, there’s no need to splurge on bigger or better cat trees to impress them.

Final Thoughts

Our pick for the best overall cat tree for Ragdolls is the Beau Jardin. This tree has everything needed to keep your Ragdoll happy and is sized to accommodate larger cats. If you’re on a budget, the Trixie Baza is both affordable and well-crafted. For those who are ready to splurge on their Ragdoll, Go Pet Club is the way to go. No matter your choice, either of these cat trees will keep your Ragdoll happy and allow them to continue their reign as the master of your household.
