Heybly Cat Tree Instructions (Step by Step Guide)

Here’s a general step-by-step guide to help you assemble your Heybly cat tree. Specific models might vary slightly. Please check if your Heybly cat tree instructions came with an instruction manual. Look for details on specific parts.

1. Unpack and Organize the Parts

1. Carefully unpack all components from the box and lay them out in an open area.
2. Check the parts list against what’s provided to ensure all pieces are included. You’ll likely find platforms, posts, screws, brackets, and tools.

2. Attach the Base

1. Locate the baseboard and the posts intended for the bottom layer.
2. Attach the first set of posts to the baseboard by screwing them in firmly. Many models use Allen screws, so use the included Allen wrench if provided.
3. Double-check that the posts are tightly attached to ensure a stable foundation.

3. Add Platforms and Middle-Level Posts

1. Find the next platform that goes above the base.
2. Attach this platform onto the posts you just installed on the base, ensuring alignment.
3. Add the next level of posts onto this platform. Each level usually has designated posts, so refer to the parts list for correct placement.

4. Continue Building Upward

1. Repeat the process, adding a platform and then securing posts on top. Continue building upward according to the structure of your model.
2. Make sure each post and platform is tightly screwed in before moving on to the next level.

5. Attach Condos, Hammocks, or Other Features

1. If your cat tree has a condo, locate its designated place in the structure. Use the provided screws and attach it securely to the nearest platform.
2. For hammocks or hanging beds, attach these to the hooks or posts specified in the instruction manual.
3. If your model includes sisal-covered scratching posts, make sure these are aligned in areas where your cat can reach comfortably.

6. Secure Top Perches

1. Most Heybly models have one or more top perches. Attach these perches to the highest posts, ensuring they’re screwed in tightly for stability.
2. Some models may come with plush padding or covers for the top perch; secure these by tying them in place or attaching as directed.

7. Add Toys and Final Adjustments

1. Attach any hanging toys by looping or screwing them onto the designated hooks or posts.
2. Check that each platform, post, and feature is stable and secure, as cats can be rough when jumping and climbing.

8. Inspect and Stabilize

1. Test the tree by gently shaking it to make sure it’s stable.
2. Place the cat tree in your desired location, ideally near a wall, and attach any wall stabilizers if provided for added security.
