Animal Shelters and Naturally Fresh

Can one eco-friendly cat litter brand make a difference? We think so — and so do the animal shelters and rescues we partner with throughout the United States. 

The Humane Society estimates that there are approximately: 

•  3,943 animal shelters  

• 10,000 animal rescues in the U.S. 

• 3.2 million cats entering those shelters and rescues annually 

And while they’re waiting to be adopted, those cat kids need lots of multi-cat litter boxes — and the cat litter to fill them. Read on to learn how our eco-friendly cat litter donations to U.S. animal shelters and rescues help cat kids and our shared world

The best multi-cat litter for animal shelters

When it comes to the ideal litter for an animal shelter, Naturally Fresh walnut shell litter makes a lot of sense.  

• The best cat litter for odor control  

• The best low-dust cat litter for easy breathing 

• A low-tracking cat litter for easier cleanup 

• A longer-lasting cat litter than clay litter 

Whether it’s one of our clumping cat litter formulas or our non-clumping pellet litter, Naturally Fresh organically neutralizes odors better than clay, corn, pine, and wheat cat litters. That’s because the fibrous material of the walnut shell eliminates litter box odors, particularly ammonia. Thanks to Naturally Fresh, that animal shelter full of cat kids may not smell like an animal shelter full of cat kids.

Naturally Fresh donations make a difference

Throughout the year, we donate our litter to animal shelters and rescues around the U.S. Since 2020, we’ve donated more than one million pounds of our walnut shell cat litter to shelters in need. And we don’t do it alone. We regularly hold Shelter Litter Giveaways and invite pet parents to join us in our donation efforts, nominating a U.S. animal shelter or rescue to win Naturally Fresh cat litter for their resident cat kids. We’ve also held Gotcha Day promotions, partnering with animal shelters in cities including Seattle and Portland and encouraging new pet parents to adopt from them.
