Katpole

The vendor's privacy policy names the operating company as KATPOLE CANADA at a Toronto address, matching the Toronto street address on the product and shop pages, and the site's own founder story describes a husband-and-wife team who built the product themselves; this reads as sole founder ownership. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for Katpole, consistent with a provincial (likely Ontario) incorporation rather than no registration; the Ontario Business Registry itself could not be searched here. The same privacy policy also has a leftover template line stating the founders' country is the United States, which contradicts the Canadian entity name and address elsewhere on the same page and reads as an unedited boilerplate default rather than a factual claim, so it was not used.

• Privacy Policy | Katpole · the vendor's own site ““Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” it refers to KATPOLE CANADA, (50 Caroll St, M4M 3G3)”
• Search for a Federal Corporation - Katpole · registry record “Searched for: Corporate name: Katpole 0 results were found, 0 returned.”

The product page states each Katpole is made to order in Canada, with no US tariffs, and gives no other production location or contract manufacturer.

• Katpole Modern Cat Tree · the vendor's own site “Each Katpole is made to order in Canada. No U.S. tariffs.”

Every page footer gives a single Toronto address, and the founder story on the homepage describes a two-person founding team with no mention of staff or operations elsewhere; this is treated as a single-location Canadian operation with no LinkedIn or careers page check performed to confirm headcount.

• Module | Katpole · the vendor's own site “50 Carroll St, Toronto, ON M4M 3G3”
• Katpole · the vendor's own site “Hi, I’m Hannah. I spent years searching for a cat tree for my 23lb maine coon, Tubes. ... during covid, my husband Mike and I decided to build our own.”

The product page names the materials, aircraft-grade aluminum poles, stainless steel bolts, precision-cut wood platforms with a vinyl finish, and microsuede hammocks, but never states where any of them are sourced from. With final assembly in Toronto but no supplier disclosure, this mix is a best-judgment estimate weighted toward globally sourced metal, textile, and hardware inputs, the weakest-evidence factor on this card.
