Catalyst Pros & Cons according to customers

Pros
  • Very nice lightwood scent
  • Clumps very well and has no bad smell
  • Does not track much and bags last a long time
  • Lightweight, and dust-free
  • Easy to sift and clumps like clay
  • Great odor absorption and natural product
Cons
  • The multi-cat formula sticks to the cat's coat and paws, leaving a filmy coating that's impossible to remove.
  • The artificial pine scent is touted as a "mild natural scent" enhancer, but it's not trustworthy.
  • Cats may ingest the litter, and the added ingredients, including an unnamed clumping agent, zeolite, and "bio oil," may be harmful when ingested.
  • The red bag pine smell formula caused welts and eyelid swelling in a cat, and the wood dust is a known carcinogen.
  • Some cats refuse to use this litter, and it's very messy and trackie.
  • Cats won't come close to the litter box with even a little sprinkled in, and the return shipping charge is high.
  • The unscented formula has a weird smell, and the cats won't use it.

Catalyst's Shipping Policy

Catalyst ships domestic orders within the USA, including Alaska and Hawaii, via USPS. The shipping boxes are made of 100% post-consumer recyclable cardboard products, and the brand is happy to use USPS as they are already driving to homes, so adding Catalyst does not add more trucks to the road. All orders are processed within one business day and shipped with USPS three-business-day service, including tracking and insurance. The brand does not ship internationally at this time.

Catalyst's Return Policy

Catalyst Pet offers a refund for up to one 10 lb bag of Catalyst Cat Litter purchased directly from their website within 30 days after delivery. Refunds are limited to a single 10 lb bag per customer or shipping address. Catalyst Pet does not offer refunds for orders resulting from improper product usage, and non-litter products cannot be returned. For damaged products, customers can contact the company for a refund or replacement. Refunds will be processed within 7-10 business days of receipt of the returned product, and customers should allow additional time for their bank or credit card company to process the refund. Retail purchases should be returned to the retailer with a receipt.
