Natural Kitty Litter

Posted By Barb (Norwood, ON) on 10/26/2021

"Our local Farm Supply Store happened to mention that many of their customers use Non-Medicated (important) chick starter (yes baby chicken feed) as kitty litter. We tried it and it works super well. It even clumps a bit, is a little less dusty and comes in a BIG bag for about $15 CD. We have one cat that likes to eat a bit but it will not hurt them. We transitioned by blending it into clumping clay litter to start and phased out the clay fairly quickly."

"Pine Pellets from your local farm store. Usually in the equestrian (horse) section for horse stalls. They sell 40lb bags for cheap. Like around $6! Seems to be the same as the pine pellets you buy in a cat litter section at a pet store, but MUCH more affordable! Works great!"

"I have a 4yr old Cornish Rex . Her Breeder turned me on to Horse Bedding Pellets, their usually pine. Use in place of kitty litter. I never smell her urine. The pellets disintegrate and turn to sawdust . Best part it’s about$ 7.50 for 50 lbs. You do need a sifting litter box. But Miew was trained to use that and it’s GREAT!"
