NATURAL LITTER IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO

Risks of cancer and significant environmental destruction come along with old-school cat litter. Many cat guardians have turned to pine, wheat or recycled fiber and with good reason.

“Traditional cat litter is bad news on a few levels,” KYForward Columnist Beth Oleson explains. “It�s strip and pit-mined clay, so its production is extremely destructive. It�s not biodegradable, and millions of pounds of it are bagged up in plastic and tossed into the trash every year. It�s also silica-based, and the dust that billows up when you pour it in the box, or whenever your cat digs in it, is a carcinogen.”

Our personal favorite is pine pellets. You can easily scoop out to areas of urination in the box because the pine in that spot will break down into a saw-dust like form. There’s less waste, less environmental damage and no risk of cancer to you or your cats.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
