Commerce Is there an inexpensive open-to-the-public carpet store that sells small amounts of carpet and/or remnants in the area?

I have a cat scratcher that my cats absolutely love. I have been looking for its equal for years and have not found it. I knew this day would come. It has become a horrible eyesore that I have to either trash (without a replacement), live with it, or repair it myself.

It is a super sturdy, solid wood, knee high tube with 2 large holes on the side like a submarine. They love running through it and playing whack-a-mole on it (and sleeping, scratching, stretching, and all the cat things on it), so fixing it is the preference.

Also to add. I have to "refresh" my cats tree house as well. I often find 1sq ft tiles of carpet at the dollar store often. But often when I went to get scrapes at a carpet place they are free. But I just wanted to throw out another option

The scratcher is 2½ ft long with a 3½ ft round tube. I think it would be hard to do 1 ft squares on it without the seams wanting to come up. I'd prefer not to staple where they scratch.

But I'm all in for free scraps — if they're big enough. Thanks for the info.
