At CatastrophiCreations, our goal is to create an attractive and functional vertical space for cats to explore and relax on. Whether you have a lack of floor space and don't want to set up a large cat tree, you want to give your cats a fun perching area up high or if you need to solve behavior and territorial issues; our furniture is what every cat needs! We hand-make quality, sturdy and very fun alternatives to cat trees and cat towers that will have your feline friend up the wall in no time :)

Our business started as a hobby in 2013, building wooden furniture and sewing hammocks for our cats. We eventually started up our Etsy shop and sold some of our furniture on the side, building it out of our third story apartment in Portland, OR. We ended up moving to Michigan, where Mike is originally from and we didn't look around for any work and just focused on building our furniture ideas out of our two-car garage. It was kind of an experiment, seeing if the business could make enough for us to live off of so that we didn't have to have traditional jobs and our hobby ended up growing into a really cool business!

Mike's childhood best friend Gabe moved across the state and joined us as our first co-worker the summer of 2014 and he is now the general manager of our team. Megan's best friend Jennifer also ended up moving from Portland to join the fun in our new budding business. Three years later, we are working out of our 4,000 square foot facility with our 12 additional team members in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

We are lucky enough to have three very cute cats that are quite active and eager to test out our new furniture ideas. Every piece is first tested in our home for a month to make sure that the new concept is not only fun for them to play on, but is also functional for them to use. If they do not approve, we scrap the idea and try something different.

Ickle is our boy with the oversized paws and natural bob tail. Heisenberg is our skittish boy who likes to be up high, so that he may survey below for danger. Lylah is our 'sweet' little Calico.

At CatastrophiCreations, we focus on quality and strive to create beautiful and long-lasting furniture using natural materials like solid pine, 100% cotton canvas and sisal.
