Not great value in our experience – We used this for around 18 months up until late 2023. Supply difficulties, and escalating prices, plus our move to self-cleaning kitty litter boxes which require a clumping litter made it impossible to continue with it. Background, Since the start of 2023 we have become the custodians of five rescue kittens/ cats – it’s a long story but… Read more

basically, we were new cat owners and needed to navigate everything that was necessary. A key ‘necessary’ is kitty litter and I wanted to share our journey with Chandler Natural Cat Litter.

After being taken ownership by our cats we tried a range of products to see what: a) they liked or seemed to prefer, and b) we could afford and were prepared to live with.

We initially came-across the Chandler product at our local IGA (although we have also seen it in Coles). As the cats were all fairly young we began with their ‘Soft Kitten Litter’. The only difference between this and their ‘Original Cat Litter’ appears to be the size of the granules – with the kitten litter being finer.

The cats – all of them – took to it very quickly. As long as we cleaned out the waste every day we have never had any issues with them not using it. If anything, they all seemed to prefer the Kitten rather than the Original style – whatever their ages. It also wasn’t too messy on their feet either, although the coarser Original was slightly better.

With up to five cats and a couple of separate litter trays we generally found that within a week it was smelling pretty foul. We would dump it into a bag for our rubbish collection at that point, but did find that we could maybe string it out for another day or two by leaving it outside exposed to sunlight and stirring it occasionally.

We didn’t find that absorption extended too well to odours. We would frequently need to go and cover/ recover ‘business’ after a cat had used the litter bin.

The biggest gripes are supply and cost. Post-COVID it seemed that supply was patch (at best) and often non-existent. Even reaching out to the manufacturer, they were unable to assist with this. Up until mid-2023 we could generally buy a 15L bag of Kitten Litter for around $12 to $15. The cost then sky-rocketed to almost $30, if you could get it. I think this may have moderated since but it really made it unsustainable for us.

A soft and user friendly litter – I recently trialed chandlers soft kitten litter. It was low dust, the bag was easy to handle and it was very soft on delicate paws. It did get flicked around a fair bit by the babies, however, this was the trade off for having such a light weight, kitten friendly litter. Show details ·  1

So soft, purrfect for kittens – It's very soft and great for litter training kittens. My foster kittens have preferred this to the larger granules and seem more keen to learn using the tray. It's very easy to tidy up, doesn't spread much and is easy to scoop urine.  Show details ·  1
