The Story
Built by a maker
for real cats
Layer Ridge Creations started the same way most good ideas do — out of frustration. Every cat wand I bought either snapped in a week, had a flimsy plastic handle, or used string so thin it cut right through the end piece.
So I designed my own. The handle fits comfortably in your hand. The carbon fiber rod flexes the right amount. The paracord doesn't fray. And the clip means you can swap toys without buying a whole new wand.
Based in Amherstburg, Ontario — every product is designed, printed, and assembled in my workshop. Nothing is drop-shipped. Nothing is generic. Every order is made fresh.

What We Stand For
How we make things
Built to Last
Every product is printed with quality PLA+ and assembled with components rated for real use. If something breaks under normal play, we make it right.
Original Designs
Nothing here came from a generic file. The cat wand system — handle, end piece, and clip mechanism — was designed from scratch, iteration by iteration.
Proudly Canadian
Every order is made and ships from Amherstburg, Ontario. No overseas warehouses. You're supporting a small maker, not a big box operation.
The Process
From idea to doorstep
Design
Every product starts as a 3D model. The cat wand handle went through over a dozen iterations before the grip felt exactly right. Functional design first, aesthetics second.
Printed fresh for each order in our workshop. We use quality PLA+ filament and dial in settings for each colour and geometry to get clean layer lines and strong walls.
Assemble
For the cat wands, this means pressing the handle, fitting the carbon fiber rod, wrapping and securing the paracord, attaching the end piece and clip, and adding the toy.
Ship
Packaged carefully and sent from Amherstburg. Delivery times across Canada are typically 3–7 business days. We ship to the US as well.
