Used cat trees in Louisville typically sell for $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 Louisville
Louisville is a logistics and manufacturing city with a strong local identity and affordable housing. Tools, garden equipment and household goods make up most of what moves, and garages here are large enough to be full.
Homeownership is high and turnover is correspondingly slow, so listings tend to be downsizes, estates and genuine clear-outs rather than the constant churn of a rental market.
On garden equipment, ask when it last ran and whether fuel was left in it over winter. Stale fuel is the commonest reason a mower that looks perfect will not start.
Louisville, in Kentucky, has around 625,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Lexington, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Louisville
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Where can I sell a cat tree in Louisville?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Driving across the city is quick outside rush hour and parking is easy, so heavy items are no particular obstacle. Most handovers happen at the seller’s home rather than a neutral spot.
Is it stable for a big cat?
Push it firmly at the top and describe what happens. Base width matters more than height, and owners of large breeds ask this every time.
