Happy & Polly

What to know about shopping at Happy & Polly

Happy & Polly is a cat store rather than a general pet store, and the catalog is organized the way a cat owner actually shops. Cat trees are the hero product, split by style — modern, flower, gothic, wood and a purple range — then filtered by height (under 28 inches, 28 to 48, above 48) and, unusually, by the weight of the cat that will use them, in bands under 8 lbs, 8 to 15 lbs and above 15 lbs. Around that sit plant-based tofu cat litter, litter boxes, mats and scoops, water fountains with replacement filters, beds, scratchers, bowls and carriers.

Prices are approachable for the category — a good deal of the range falls between roughly $16 and $116, with a two-tier cat bed starting near $49.99 — so this is a store where a cart usually clears the free-shipping line without effort. That line is low by US standards at the time of writing: orders over $19 ship free, which is unusual for furniture-shaped items.

The recurring costs are where the structural savings sit. Litter is a subscription item here, and the site runs roughly 10% off cat litter subscriptions at the time of writing — worth taking if you have settled on the tofu litter, because it is the one product you will rebuy every month. Pre-orders on new drops have carried a further saving of about 15%.

Two buying tips. Use the weight filter rather than eyeballing the photo — a tree rated for a cat under 8 lbs will wobble under a 15 lb one, and stability is the single most common complaint with cat furniture generally. And create an account before the first order: the VIP program awards Meow Coins that offset later purchases, including bundle offers that pair coins with discounted litter.
