Just Released: The ERGO PURRCH™ BIRCH
Beechwood model shown.
Driven by a love for the planet, cats, and a desire to improve the work-from-home experience, the ERGO PURRCH™ symbolizes harmony between cat companionship and productive workspaces, offering a handcrafted sustainable solution to reduce our environmental footprint. Say goodbye to prematurely sent emails and enjoy supervised work from above, guilt-free! With your support, we are committed to bringing this vision to life for all cat owners who cherish their productivity and furry family's company.
We've all experienced the challenges of managing emails with our cat's blatant disregard for keyboard etiquette. The ERGO PURRCH™, born out of love and necessity, offers a solution. Say goodbye to keyboard shenanigans and enjoy a clear desk for maximum productivity. It's your cat's new favorite spot, allowing them to supervise your daily routines effectively and ensure maximum productivity while minimizing their physical email contributions.
The ERGO PURRCH™ comes in various options to fit any decor or taste. Choose between black and white matte arm options, handcrafted Pine or Beech hardwood, or a hand-woven bed style. We have the perfect fit for any decor.
When you pledge for an ERGO PURRCH™, we'll send you a survey after the campaign to make your color choice for the black or white arm.
Please note that our wood models do not include a pillow. However, our handwoven model does. After thorough testing, we found that our beta tester kitties preferred the natural feel of the wood. However, as every fur family is different, we are currently designing the perfect pillow for our wood model, which we plan to offer as an add-on post-crowdfunding.

Our ERGO PURRCH™ beds are handcrafted from various pieces of sustainable wood, ensuring each bed is as unique as your cat. Due to natural variations in wood grain and color, each bed features distinctive patterns and contrasts, making every bed a one-of-a-kind creation. While we attempt to match all splices, specific variances between individual pieces are inevitable and highlight the high-quality craftsmanship and natural beauty of the materials we use.
Our angled arm maximizes the airspace around your desk, keeping it clear and unobstructed. It also offers 360-degree rotation at a 12-inch height, ensuring the perfect placement for you and your cat. Attach to your desk or other mountable surface, adjust to your cat's liking, and let your kitty do the rest.
Attach the ERGO PURRCH™ to your desk or any sturdy surface, tighten the dials, and attach your preferred bed. No additional tools are needed except for the included Allen keys. It fits desks up to 2.75 inches thick. It is easy to set up, sustainably sourced, and built to last.
Our innovative ERGO PURRCH™ arm supports an impressive 176 lbs, providing maximum stability. For the best experience and safety, our beds are perfect for pets up to 45 lbs. Ensuring your pets comfort and safety.

SHIPPING ESTIMATE: END OF OCTOBER
After all these years of having cats in our lives, we never felt like there was a product that nailed the whole cat-parent home office thing. We’ve all experienced the challenge of our furry family seeking our attention while we try to focus on work, whether by taking over our keyboards or snuggling in our laps.
I'm Ziggy, the creator of the ERGO PURRCH™️. I always wanted a pet-friendly workspace solution for my tabby, Midnight, who commandeered my workspace and left a lasting impression. For 13 years, her presence was a constant source of cheerful moments throughout long workdays. Now, this journey continues with Mika and Luna, whose playful antics and ‘help’ during Zoom calls drove me to create a practical solution to coexist harmoniously at work, one that feels and looks different—something for cats AND their people.
The ERGO PURRCH, a desk-mounted arm supporting various bed styles, is more than a cat bed; it's convenient, saves space, is easy to install, is comfortable and durable, and blends into various office or home decors with its modern look; it’s my tribute to Midnight and a step towards enhancing the bond between humans and their cats.
I’m proud to be the founder of ERGO PURRCH™️, but the real stars here are cats and the humans who love them. Join us in creating work environments where productivity and cat companionship thrive.
If you’re a home office cat person…well, it’s ERGO PURRCH™️.
Cheers,
Ziggy and the ERGO PURRCH™️ team
Risks & Challenges
We have worked diligently to get the ERGO PURRCH™ ready for Kickstarter and full-scale manufacturing. We are confident in our ability to produce a sustainably sourced, handcrafted, high-quality product in mass and fulfill all perks on time. However, unexpected challenges can arise. Here are a few potential risks and our plans to address them:
Manufacturing:
We have secured a trusted manufacturer that ensures a minimum of 3 quality control inspections from start of production to finish to ensure our products meet our high standards. Despite these precautions, manufacturing delays can occur. Factors such as unexpected backlogs, holiday timing, or quality assurance issues might arise. In such cases, we will promptly inform you. Our top priority is product quality, followed by timely delivery.
Fulfillment:
Unforeseen circumstances can impact our schedule, such as a supplier missing a deadline, packages being held up at customs, lost shipments, or global events like a pandemic shutting down shipping ports. These issues can cause delays. We are working with an experienced logistics team to ensure our products reach you. We will maintain open and honest communication throughout the process, keeping you informed about your product's status and expected delivery time.
Refunds:
Please note that once we enter production, all sales are final. Since each product order is custom-made based on your backing, we are unable to offer refunds.
