Inspired by modern living spaces and effective use of space, Cat Cave aspires to create furniture for the furry cat friend in your life. I am an inspiring entrepreneur and a new grad with a degree in chemical engineering with a biomedical specialization. My technical knowledge of material properties and chemical composition of materials has lead me to design a safe product for cats that utilizes used cardboard. This creates environmentally friendly cat products, which can be recycled after use. As the design lead of Moda, the Modular Furniture, I have experience creating aesthetically pleasing and functional pieces for modern homes and have also gained marketing and pitch experience. Utilizing my online business and small pet stores I will bring my product to market.

Cardboard provides a simple and easy material for construction and creation of products. As it is readily used in packaging and many other industries, used and non-processed cardboard can be modified for other uses. Cat Cave utilizes used cardboard and constructs this material which cats love into a living space/toy that can keep them comfy or entertained for hours. The Cat Cave comes in multiple different sizes and shapes for your furry friend and can be easily recycled and made into something new. We are also offering animal friendly paints which allow for customizability.
