Your sofa deserves a break — and so does your cat. The Vela Surface-Guard is a trimmable, self-adhesive scratch mat that protects your furniture while giving your cat the tactile satisfaction they naturally crave.
Why pet parents love it
Carpet-like texture cats actually want to scratch: The satisfying surface provides the tactile resistance cats seek, redirecting their attention away from delicate upholstery toward a designated scratching spot.
Trim-to-fit versatility: Easily cut with ordinary scissors to fit sofa arms, table legs, wall corners, or virtually any surface that needs protection.
Strong adhesive that stays put: The high-quality adhesive backing bonds securely to wood, plastic, glass, and most fabrics, holding firm even during vigorous scratching sessions.
Covers existing damage discreetly: Works double duty as a protective shield and a subtle cover-up for existing claw marks and wear.
How it helps
By placing the Surface-Guard on vulnerable spots around your home, you create a durable barrier that encourages healthy scratching behaviour in the right places — protecting your furniture without disrupting your cat's natural instincts.
Perfect for
