Pet Tree Houses is now the official Guinness World Record holder for creating the tallest cat scratching tree.

The tree was created by Joseph and Shelley DelRocco, founders of Pet Tree Houses. The highest cat platform is 16-feet, 10-inches off the ground; measured to the top, the tree is more than 20-feet tall.

“Pet Tree Houses was commissioned by a family in West Linn, Oregon to design a tree for their four rescue cats to safely climb and descend their two story catmosphere,” said Joe DelRocco, vice president of Pet Tree Houses. “We are honored to build a product line that is both functional as well as aesthetically pleasing for the cats and their owners alike.”

“We are so happy to be able to give the animals a safe place to play and rest, which makes them more at ease in an indoor environment,” said Shelley DelRocco, president of Pet Tree Houses. “Pet Tree Houses’ entire product line uses real trees and synthetic silk foliage to bring out your cat’s true nature encouraging them to scratch and stretch on the gnarled branches. We love helping the pets, as they are our true inspiration.”

Pet Tree Houses has also been awarded the Cat Fancy Editors’ Choice Award six years in a row for developing innovative cat furniture.
