Floating Cat Wall Shelf - The Arcing Haven
An arc-shaped cat shelf with no visible wall fixings. The pre-bent metal arc sits flush against the wall with all mounting hardware concealed behind the structure, and the full-length cushion lifts off for washing. Gives cats the elevated perch they instinctively seek while reading on the wall as considered design, not a pet product. Read more →

Why cats need height
An arched shelf gives cats a single, sweeping surface to rest on, and the hidden fixings present a clean line across the wall. Elevated resting spots are a widely recognised enrichment factor for indoor cats. The understated shape sits comfortably in rooms where built-in furniture or considered colour schemes already carry the design language.

The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Cats do not simply sit, they survey. Give yours a vantage point worthy of that instinct, and watch how quickly The Arcing Haven becomes the first place they head each morning, tucking into the curve of the shelf as the light moves across the wall.
Each shelf is handcrafted to order by Cat's Atelier in Poland with a gentle pre-bent arc. The base can be adjusted to the curve you want before mounting, then becomes fully rigid once installed, so what you fit to the wall is exactly what you sized by hand.
Why we chose this
Cat's Atelier proved that a cat shelf could earn a place on the wall for its own sake, and we wanted our customers to have exactly that.

How to Plan Your Cat's Climbing Route
A single shelf is a good start. A proper route, one your cat climbs from the floor with confidence, only needs a few planning basics.
- Start from the floor. The most reliable route needs no furniture at all: a short run of steps leading up to a perch works in every room, for every cat.
- Think in three bands — a low launch point up to about half a metre, a middle climbing band up to around a metre and a half, and a high vantage perch above that with a clear view.
- Space each step around 20 to 30cm apart, so every move is an easy step rather than a jump.
- Just don't stack steps directly on top of one another. Beyond that, arrange them however suits your wall, diagonally, in a diamond, a triangle, or staggered from side to side.
- Most rooms need three to five pieces to build a comfortable floor-to-perch route.
- A window is a popular spot for a shelf, giving your cat the view and the natural light to watch the room from.
- Two cats, two routes. Where space allows, give each cat its own way up rather than one shared route with a single pinch point.
- Easy to fix. Every piece comes with concealed fixings and full fittings, and mounts securely to masonry or a plasterboard wall with studs.
This piece: 60cm, 75cm or 95cm long, 32cm deep, rated to 25kg (60cm) or 40kg (75/95cm). Its continuous dip makes it a popular route-ending resting spot.
