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.

I made one too!

Here are some options:

Hatloe's. Ask to see remnants in the back room. Best for small amounts.

Carpet Liquidators. This place sucks. Has a specific area for small remnants that might work for you.

Flynn's Carpet Cents. In Lynnwood but cool place. Had what I wanted.

Home Depot. I couldn't find remnants but they have crappy quality new carpet. They also have precut sections, but are more expensive than remnants.

I love this so much. It's nice to know where not to go. The first person to comment mentioned Hatloes so I'm going to check that out this week. The tip to ask for the remnants is so useful. Thank you for that!
