MiaCara Gradino Cat Climbing Step
A wall-mounted perch in powder-coated metal. The Gradino fixes to the wall at the height your cat prefers, providing an elevated resting point in rooms where floor space is limited.
Since Brexit, goods shipped from Europe to the UK are subject to standard government import VAT (20% of item value) plus a small DHL customs handling fee, typically £8–12. This is collected by DHL on behalf of HMRC and is not a retailer charge.

Watch your cat transform the moment a high perch appears: the cautious approach, the decisive leap, and then that settled, sovereign stillness as they survey the room from above. Cats are wired to climb and to watch, and a wall that supports that instinct does something remarkable, it turns a restless, bored animal into a calm and confident one.
The Gradino is designed in Cologne by MiaCara, a studio whose work has earned recognition for bringing genuine design thinking to the cat accessories space. The climbing step is built around a powder-coated steel frame in anthracite, finished to resist chips and corrosion, with a taut rope mesh surface that gives paws something real to grip on the way up. Nothing flexes that shouldn't, nothing shifts underfoot.
Because the rope netting is both lightfast and weather-resistant, the Gradino works just as well fixed to a garden wall or a sheltered outdoor space as it does inside, which is a genuine rarity in wall-mounted cat furniture. The anthracite colourway is one of the most consistently popular across the MiaCara range, and it regularly sells out between restocks, so if it is currently in stock, that is worth acting on.
Why we chose this
MiaCara's Gradino earns its place here because it treats cat enrichment as a design problem worth solving properly, with materials and fixings that genuinely hold up to daily feline use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the Gradino Cat Climbing Step?
Dimensions 9.5 x 9.5 x 24 cm L × W × H Weight 0.245 kg
What is the Gradino Cat Climbing Step made from?
The Gradino step is constructed from a powder-coated steel frame in anthracite, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and everyday wear. The climbing surface is a taut rope mesh rated for both lightfastness and weather resistance, meaning the fibres hold their tension and colour whether the step is mounted indoors or in a covered outdoor space. All fixings are designed to anchor securely into standard walls, and the overall construction is built to bear repeated daily use without flex or movement.
How do I clean and care for the Gradino Cat Climbing Step?
Wipe down the powder-coated steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dust or marks. The rope mesh surface can be spot-cleaned with a mild, pet-safe detergent and left to air dry fully before use. Periodically check that all wall fixings remain secure, particularly if the step is installed outdoors where seasonal temperature changes can affect fixings over time.
Where is the Gradino Cat Climbing Step made?
Designed and made by MiaCara in Cologne, Germany.
How long does delivery take, and what is your returns policy?
The item ships from Germany, so UK delivery is typically 3 to 7 working days. UK shipping starts from £6.99, calculated by size at checkout. Import VAT and a DHL handling fee may apply on delivery, as it ships from outside the UK.
We accept returns within 30 days on unused items in their original condition.
How is the Gradino Cat Climbing Step mounted, and are the fixings included?
The fixings you need are included - screws, bolts and wall plugs. The piece mounts to the wall on its bracket. On plasterboard, fix directly into a stud or beam so the wall can carry the weight securely.
