Cat Houses Made in the USA
Your cat spends 70% of their life sleeping — shouldn't their sanctuary be as safe as it is beautiful?
The EarthCare® wooden cat houses collection is designed and handcrafted in northern Virginia for cat parents who refuse to compromise on safety or style.
Each piece is built from FSC®-certified plywood and finished with non-toxic paints and stains, because the spaces where your cat sleeps and dreams should be as pure as the bond you share.
While most imported cat condos rely on MDF and chemical-laden coatings that silently off-gas into your home, our houses use plywood that’s certified by the California Air Resources Board Airborne Toxic Control Measures (CARB ATCM) and EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Every bed duvet cover is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified—free of toxins, harsh dyes, and synthetics.
These aren't just cat houses. They're thoughtfully crafted sanctuaries that complement your home's aesthetic while honoring your cat's need for comfort and security. Scroll down to learn more about the collection.

Why EarthCare® Cat Condos
At Toe Beans,® we design cat condos for pet parents who've spent a lifetime making thoughtful choices—for their families, their homes, and their health.
Every condo is free from added formaldehyde and handcrafted in our Northern Virginia workshop by artisans who share our belief that our cats aren’t just pets—they're family.
Our sustainability philosophy guides each decision: materials you can trust, craftsmanship you can see, and transparency you deserve.
Unlike overseas manufacturers who rely on MDF, mystery finishes, and off-gassing adhesives, we only use FSC®-certified plywood from a thoroughly selected Spanish manufacturer with ISO 14001-certified environmental management program.
The FSC® certification provides chain of custody visibility allowing us to track each panel to its mother plantation in Spain. A unique feature that most cat house manufacturers and market resellers cannot provide.
The EarthCare® Cat House Collection Story
The EarthCare® cat house collection was born from watching our own cats spend hours grooming themselves on their furniture, rubbing their faces against wooden corners, breathing in whatever chemicals existed in the materials around them.
That realization changed everything: whatever is in their furniture ends up in their bodies—and ours.
We refused to accept mystery materials, vague claims, and opaque supply chains for the spaces our cats inhabit most.
The EarthCare® cat condo collection reflects our dual promise:
- Care for the earth through sustainable practices
- Care for the precious lives that depend on us to make safe choices
Each piece proves you don't have to choose between beauty and safety, style and sustainability, American craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.
Why American-Made Matters: The Problem with Imported Cat Furniture
You've always been your cat's #1 advocate—choosing their food carefully, researching their health needs, creating a home where they feel safe. Yet sadly, many manufacturers use materials that undermine those efforts:
- MDF that releases formaldehyde
- Paints with VOCs
- Glues with unknown chemical profiles
- Opaque supply chains with concerning labor practices
A customer once told us her imported cat tree smelled so strongly of chemicals that she had to air it out in her garage for weeks—and even then, her cat refused to use it.
That's not uncommon. Many pet parents don't realize that "new furniture smell" is actually toxic off-gassing of formaldehyde, VOCs, and other toxins.
