cat tree outlet

The Rufi Cat Tree Outlet is a place where you can buy completely new, unused cat trees at reduced prices. These are not returned products or cat trees that have previously been in contact with cats. Most of them are non-standard, one-off designs made from fully functional components left over from production.

The lower price may result from slight colour differences between batches of upholstery fabrics or wood, minor varnishing imperfections or an unusual combination of components. This does not affect the functionality, stability or durability of the construction. Outlet cat trees are covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee in accordance with the applicable Rufi guarantee terms.

Cat Tree Outlet – new cat trees at lower prices

The Rufi Cat Tree Outlet was created for people looking for a solid, durable and functional cat tree at a more attractive price. The products available here are completely new and unused. They are not cat trees returned by customers, used products or constructions that have previously been in contact with cats.

This is particularly important for pet owners who, for hygiene reasons, do not want to buy a used cat tree or one that has been returned after contact with another cat. Every cat tree available in our outlet is manufactured directly at the Rufi production facility and is not used by animals before being offered for sale.

Why do new cat trees go to the outlet?

During the production of cat trees, individual, fully functional components sometimes remain that cannot be used in a standard order for visual reasons. We use these parts to create non-standard models and one-off projects, which are then offered as outlet cat trees.

The most common reason for classifying a component as an outlet item is a slight difference in colour between consecutive batches of upholstery fabric. Even when the same type and colour of fabric is ordered, a new batch may have a minimally different shade. The difference may be almost unnoticeable, but it can become visible when two cushions, covers or upholstered rims are placed next to each other. In a standard cat tree, all upholstered components should form a visually consistent whole, which is why elements with slightly different shades are set aside and later used in outlet projects.

Similar differences may occur in components made from stained wood. Wood is a natural material, so individual pieces may absorb colour differently. Even when the same staining process is used, some components may develop a slightly lighter or darker shade. When the difference is visible, we manufacture the component again so that a customer ordering a standard model receives a cat tree with the most consistent possible colour.

The remaining components are still durable and fully functional from a structural point of view. We can therefore combine them with other parts to create a new and often unique cat tree on sale.

What imperfections may an outlet cat tree have?

The reduced price of an outlet cat tree may result primarily from:

• slight differences in the shades of upholstered components,
• differences in the colour of individual wooden components,
• minor and barely visible varnishing imperfections,
• a non-standard combination of colours, components or types of beds,
• the use of individual parts left over from other projects.

These are primarily visual differences that do not affect the basic function of the cat tree. The construction still provides the cat with places for scratching, climbing, resting and observing its surroundings. Posts, platforms, beds, bases and connecting components are selected in such a way as to create a stable and functional product.

Outlet does not mean used or returned

In many shops, the term “outlet” may include display products, consumer returns or goods that have previously been unpacked and used. The rules are different in the Rufi outlet.

Our outlet cat trees:

• are completely new,
• have not been used by other customers,
• do not come from customer returns,
• have not been in contact with cats,
• are assembled and prepared directly by the manufacturer,
• may only have the described visual differences or a non-standard configuration.

This allows the customer to take advantage of a promotion on a cat tree without worrying that the product has previously been kept in a home with other animals.

Fully functional construction and manufacturer’s guarantee

The lower price of an outlet cat tree does not mean that the manufacturer gives up responsibility for the product. Products available in this category are covered by the Rufi guarantee in accordance with the applicable guarantee terms.

This also applies to the most important functional components of the cat tree, including the scratching posts and the sisal ropes used on them, in accordance with the scope and rules specified in the manufacturer’s guarantee terms. Visual imperfections or differences that are the reason for the reduced price do not alter the guarantee conditions applying to the remaining components of the construction.

Cat tree promotions and one-off projects

Cat trees in the outlet are usually created as non-standard, one-off models. They may differ in the arrangement of platforms, types of beds, upholstery colour, wood finish or post height. Many of them are unique projects that cannot be found in the regular range of the shop.

When looking for a solid cat tree on sale, it is worth checking this category regularly. The number of available products depends on the components left over from current production, which means that individual models may be available in only one example.

The Rufi cat tree clearance allows you to buy a new and functional construction at a lower price while accepting a slight colour difference, a minor visual imperfection or an unusual combination of components. It is a practical choice for people who value durability and functionality more than the perfect consistency of every shade.

Before purchasing, it is also worth reading our guide How to recognise a truly good cat tree, in which we explain in detail the features of a durable and correctly manufactured construction.
