Common Questions

General questions, fur-real facts about HempCat™ and why its Litter-ally the healthiest and safest litter in the world!

What makes HempyCat™ Enviromentally Friendly?

HempyCat™ Litter is made with 100% natural and renewable Canadian hemp that is sustainably grown.  We use our advanced, proprietary technologies to manufacture cat litter that takes advantage of the natural absorbency and odor control of hemp. Our litter does not contain artificial additives, chemicals, clay, silica dust or perfumes, so you know it's safe for pets, people and the planet!

How does HempyCat™ Litter differ from traditional clay litters?

HempyCat™ Litter uses proprietary technologies to specially process Canadian hemp fiber in order to deliver superior odor control, ultra absorbency and a cleaner litter box with less hassle. Unlike clay litter, Hempycat™ will not leave wet messy litter stuck to the sides and bottom of the box, so clean up is simple and mess free.

HempyCat™ Litter will not harm your cat. Our litter is 7X more lightweight than traditional litter and does not contain clumping agents, fillers, chemicals, silica dust or toxic clay that may cause adverse health effects in cats. Fine clay particles group together, and can block passages and irritate tissues; ultimately leading to respiratory problems & urinary gastrointestinal blockages, among other health risks. Unlike clay litter (that is mined), HempyCat™ Litter is made from 100% renewable eco-friendly Canadian hemp. Our litter is also biodegradable and flushable, so you don’t have to worry about clogging your septic system!

Is HempyCat ™ Litter flushable?

Yes! HempyCat™ Litter is septic safe. Unlike clay-based litters, HempyCat™ Litter does not contain harmful clumping agents or clay that could build up and clog septic systems. The natural antibacterial properties of hemp means our cat litter is resistant to bacteria. In addition, our litter is 100% biodegradable and can be composted.

*Do NOT flush full litter box of litter at one time*

Is HempyCat™ Litter fragrance-free?

Yes! HempyCat™ is unscented. Cat's noses are much more sensitive than our human noses. As a result, your cat may not like the same scents you do. HempyCat™ never adds artificial perfumes or fragrances.

Our litter has no added scents and is 100% natural.

How do I keep the litter box from smelling and how often should I scoop?

HempyCat™ Litter is proven to be highly effective at controlling odors. It's best to scoop daily to keep the rest of the litter fresh. Cats are naturally very clean animals and prefer a clean litter box.

HempyCat™ Litter is ultra absorbent, absorbing 5X more than other litters. HempyCat has no clumping agents or toxic clay added; so you don't waste time chiseling and scraping the litter box.

Say goodbye to wet messy litter 👋🏻

Why is HempyCat™ the healthiest and safest litter?

HempyCat™ Litter is engineered to be the healthiest and safest litter in the world. Unlike clay, or pelletized/bound plant-based litters made from compressed or bonded waste dust, our litter is the only litter on the market made from solid, whole granules from the core of the hemp plant.

Pelletized litters often have low absorption, and rapidly expand and break down when exposed to moisture, becoming dangerous to cats if eaten. Litters with bound dust will break down when wet, leading to harmful airborne dust when dry. 

Where is HempyCat™ Litter available near me?

HempyCat™ Litter is available on Amazon, Chewy.com as well as specialty pet stores. 

Is HempyCat™ Litter more expensive than other litters?

No! With HempyCat™ Litter , you get more for your money because of the long-lasting performance of naturally absorbing hemp fiber.

On average, one bag of Hempycat™ Litter will lasts one cat 20+ days.  

High absorbency means the rest of the litter stays dry, so you throw less away and spend less.

How can I reduce tracking?

HempyCat™ Litter is designed to be lightweight and low tracking.

Regardless of the cat litter you buy, all lightweight cat litter will have some tracking due to the lightness of the litter.

Adding a mat in front of the box can help keep litter from being tracked.

Can HempyCat ™ Litter be used in a multiple cat household?

Absolutely!

Our general recommendation is one cat per litter box.

To avoid potential conflicts, consider placing boxes in different areas of the house, rather than right next to each other.

Is it safe to change cat litter while pregnant or with a suppressed immune system?

While there are no health risks associated with HempyCat™P Litter, pregnant women and people with suppressed immune systems should exercise caution and avoid contact with used cat litter, as cat waste can transmit a disease called toxoplasmosis.

Consult your physician for more information.

Is HempyCat™ Litter compatible with automatic self-cleaning litter boxes?

No.

The lower absorbency and use of clumping agents in traditional litter leads to the formation of extremely large solid clumps; which are then caught in the sensor rake and removed from the box.

Unfortunately, self-cleaning litter boxes are designed to remove these clumps only.
