Fresh Step® Litter :: Adopt a Shelter Cat

There's a shelter cat with a loving home thanks to you.

Millions of Americans already know the benefits to owning a cat, including love, affection and the joy of companionship. Yet, each year, there are more than four million cats and kittens in shelters across the country.

The makers of Fresh Step® Scoopable Cat Litter are happy to partner with the ASPCA® (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) to raise awareness of the issue of homeless cats and find homes for shelter cats. Together, we aim to help cat owners and their new cats make a smooth transition home, which will lay the foundation for a positive relationship for many years to come. Find a local shelter.

According to a national cat adoption survey, commissioned by the makers of Fresh Step® nearly, two-thirds of the more than 1,500 respondents named cat litter odor as the main barrier to bringing a cat into their home.

"The issue of the cat litter odor is a common concern and may prevent people from adopting a cat," says animal behaviorist Dr. Peter Dr. Borchelt.

New and experienced cat owners alike can now breathe a fresh sigh of relief with Fresh Step® Scoopable Cat Litter with odor-eliminating carbon. "Helping to solve the cat litter odor problem is a significant innovation and may help persuade non-cat owners to open their homes to a feline friend," says Dr. Borchelt.

Fresh Step® Scoopable Cat Litter has carbon inside the granules. Carbon helps neutralize the odors before they leave the box. The litter also contains a patented antimicrobial agent to help fight the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
