Sell Your Cat Tree in Canada

Used cat trees in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Cat trees are cheap new at the budget end, so second-hand value depends almost entirely on how clean and sturdy it is.

Selling a cat tree in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Push the top platform to check for wobble
• Inspect the sisal posts for shredding

Getting it ready

• Vacuum every platform and the carpet surfaces, and clean out any enclosed bed thoroughly.
• Be honest about whether the previous cat sprayed on it. That is a smell that does not come out and it must not be a surprise.

Put in the description

• Number of platforms, beds, hammocks and scratching posts
• Condition of the sisal and the carpet surfaces
• Whether it dismantles, and whether all fixings are present

Height and features: “150cm Cat Tree with Hammock and 2 Beds, Sisal Posts”. Height is the search and stability is the concern, so mention the base size for a tall unit. Say if it dismantles, which decides whether it fits in a car.

Collection. Most tall trees dismantle into sections — take it apart, bag the bolts and tape them to a platform, because reassembly without fixings is genuinely difficult.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a cat tree in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Does it smell?

Answer honestly, including whether the previous cat sprayed on it. This is the one thing that makes a cat tree worthless, and it cannot be hidden at collection.

Do used cat trees sell?

Yes, though for modest sums. Condition and stability matter most, and a genuinely clean tree sells much faster.

How do I deal with odour?

A deep clean of removable covers and a thorough vacuum helps. If the odour persists, say so honestly in the listing.
