Our Story
Thank you for visiting Fit 'n' Fun Cat Wheel! My name is Elizabeth or Liz for short. I'm an animal lover, recreational runner, and gardening enthusiast. I'm also the person behind Fit 'n' Fun Cat Wheel: a small Aussie business distributing the G5 Ferris Cat Wheel across Australia and New Zealand. My aim with Fit 'n' Fun is simple:
- Promote one of the best and safest cat wheels on the market.
- Give indoor cats a much-needed fun 'n' safe outlet for their excess energy.
- Help people bond with their pets through fun fitness, both on and off the wheel.
The story behind Fit 'n' Fun, however, is a little more interesting…
Meet Bruce
Bruce is the reason I became a distributor of the Ferris Cat Wheel. He wandered into my home and heart in early 2022 as a stray. With his fancy coat, charming face, and smelly breath (he was teething at the time), my kids affectionately called him 'Stinky Batman', then 'Bruce' once we adopted him. Watching him grow—from a small, malnourished, flea-covered kitten—into a healthy, loveable, cheeky young cat has brought so much joy and laughter into our family home.
It's also brought so much destruction. Plants. Paper towels. Sponges. Pegs. Boxes. Bags. You name it, he's destroyed it. Despite the addition of many new toys, a scratching post, and consistent feeding times, playing times, and outside time (with supervision on a harness and leash), Bruce is still Full of Beans.
Helping a cat or kitten adjust to life indoors, especially after having survived out in the wild, is no small feat. Considering how important exercise and play is for feline health and wellbeing, I knew I had to find another avenue for Bruce's excess energy. Cue the Ferris Cat Wheel! After taking a deep dive into the world of pet exercise wheels, the Ferris Cat Wheel became my clear winner for a number of reasons:
- The design was modern and simple;
- Reviews showed it was straightforward to assemble, built to last, and quiet to use; and
- It prioritised feline safety by using a sturdy base, large wheel, and wide track with foam tiles to prevent injuries, tipping, or derailing.
The only downside? There was no one selling them in Australia. This was a big light-bulb moment for me, and my motivation for becoming a distributor. Not only could I help Bruce, I could help other Australian cat owners by supplying the Ferris Cat Wheel here. Fast forward to today, and I'm now a distributor of the Ferris Cat Wheel in New Zealand!
So, to summarise: I’m an Aussie cat lady who wants to help Aussies, Kiwis, animal shelters, catteries, and cat cafes by providing a safe and fun outlet for their animals' excess energy. Still not convinced? Check out the Benefits of the G5 Ferris Cat Wheel. For more info, check out our FAQs.
