About HealthyCatLitter.com
We're cat owners who care about what goes in our cats' litter boxes. This site is our way of sharing what we've learned through research and experience — not veterinary advice.
Who We Are
HealthyCatLitter.com is run by a small team of cat enthusiasts based in Canada. We started this site after spending hours researching litter ingredients for our own cats and realizing how hard it was to find clear, honest information.
We are not veterinarians, veterinary technicians, or animal health professionals. We're regular cat owners who read research papers, product labels, and veterinary resources — and we share what we find in plain language.
Our Mission
We believe cat owners deserve straightforward information about what's in their cat's litter. Our goal is to:
- Research ingredients — We look into what's actually in cat litter products and what the research says
- Share honestly — We label our opinions as opinions and cite our sources
- Stay transparent — We disclose our affiliations and how we fund this site
- Encourage vet visits — We always recommend consulting a veterinarian for health concerns
Our Content Approach
Every page on this site is written with these principles:
- Opinion-based framing — We clearly state when something is our opinion versus established fact
- Citations — We reference academic papers, veterinary resources, and official organizations
- Disclaimers — Every page includes reminders that we're not vets and this isn't medical advice
- No medical directives — We never tell you what to do about your cat's health; that's your vet's job
Affiliate Disclosure
This site contains affiliate links to products we personally like, including Purrify, an activated carbon odor control product for cat litter. When you purchase through our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
This commission helps us maintain the site and continue researching cat litter ingredients. Our recommendations are based on our personal opinions and research — not on commission rates. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.
Why We Recommend Purrify
We frequently mention Purrify throughout this site because it aligns with the values we look for in cat litter products:
- 100% fragrance-free — no artificial scents
- Uses activated carbon, which we consider one of the safest odor control methods
- Works with any existing litter — no need to switch
- Canadian-made with transparent ingredient information
That said, every cat is different. What works for our cats may not work for yours, and we always encourage you to consult your vet about any changes to your cat's routine.
