Paper Cat Litter

Paper cat litter is a lightweight litter made from recycled paper materials. Designed to provide a low-dust, ecologically friendly, and gentle option for cats, it comes in a convenient pellet form that effectively absorbs moisture. Unlike clay-based litters, paper cat litter does not clump, so it can be safer for young kittens who can sometimes get blockages from ingesting clay. Paper litter is also recommended for cats recovering from surgery, since the paper won't contaminate wounds like regular litter particles.

Chewy's selection of paper cat litter includes both scented and fragrance-free varieties in pelleted and granule forms. Designed for odor absorption and moisture control, paper cat litter is often chosen for households where low tracking and easy cleanup are priorities. Many paper litters are highly absorbent and expand when wet, helping contain messes while remaining gentle on sensitive paws. The low-dust formula makes paper cat litter great for people and cats with allergies, too. Consider your cat's preferences, age, health status, and litter box setup when deciding if paper litter might be a good choice for you. Here are some things to consider when shopping for paper cat litter:

• Dust reduction: Paper cat litter produces minimal dust, supporting respiratory comfort and a cleaner home.

• Paw comfort: Soft paper pellets, especially smaller granules or crumbles, can be gentle for kittens and sensitive cats.

• Absorbency: Paper litter absorbs moisture effectively, but it may need more frequent changes than clumping litter since only solids are removed during scooping.

• Odor management: Paper doesn't trap odors as well as clumping clay, but high absorption and additives like baking soda in some litters can control litter box odors well.

• Tracking and cleanup: Larger pellets track less and are easy to clean up around the box.

Paper cat litter can be a practical choice for households seeking a softer, low-dust alternative to traditional litter, and many people like that it's a more sustainable option, too. Whether you just want to try something new or your vet recommends it for a kitten or post-op recovery, Chewy has a great selection of paper litter varieties to choose from. Once you find one that works well for your cat and home, set it to Autoship regularly for hassle-free restocking.
