  • 1.  Any organizations facing shortage or complete supply of Cat Litter?

    Posted 12-07-2023 09:33 AM

    Hello, everyone!

    My name is Braulio Hernandez and yesterday, while researching bulk quantities of Kitty Litter and identifying organizations in need of this product, I stumbled upon this forum. After reading through a couple of discussionrelated to the subject and its threads. I see that many places across the US are facing a common challenge with the supply of cat litter for your organizations.

    I attempted to reach out individually with a number of different places of the people who commented, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to connect directly with anyone. I understand everyone is incredibly busy, given the roles within each of the respective organizations.

    So, I decided to join this fantastic forum to reach out collectively. I believe this approach might be more effective in sharing information that could benefit as many organizations as possible.

    Depending on your organization's demand and usage needs, I can supply bulk amounts of New/Unused Off-Spec Cat Litter on a weekly or monthly basis. Specifically, these are Super Sacks, each containing 3,000lbs to 4,000lbs of a top-name brand in the industry for cat litter.

    We have two confirmed locations where this product is available: Southwestern California, with an approximate amount of 40,000lbs/month of cat litter, and Southeastern Pennsylvania, with approximately 20,000lbs/month of cat litter. We're also working on a third location in the state of Ohio, which, once confirmed, will allow us to meet even more demand.

    I understand this information can be overwhelming. My goal is to streamline the process and make it as user-friendly as possible. Additionally, I am committed to exploring cost-effective options to ensure that everyone can benefit from this fantastic opportunity without incurring excessive expenses.

    If interested, you are more than welcome to contact me as well. For those tagged here, please feel free to share my information with anyone you know who might also be interested.

    Thank you.

    Once you have an Ohio location, I would be interested in the details for Happy Stripes cat rescue in Northeast Ohio.  happystripescleveland@gmail.com

    We'd love some litter help (specifically for non-clumping) in the Denver area if you expand!

    The opportunity sounds promising for both our organization and the community. Could you provide any details or options specifically tailored for Charleston, South Carolina? We're eager to support our volunteers and want to explore how we can make a positive impact in that region.

    Hello,

    If/when you get to Colorado we would be interested in learning more.  We use non-clumping clay litter.  Thank you!

    Hello Braulio

    Thank you for offering this opportunity to those in your areas.  We are definitely feeling the strain in the Midwest.  We are a Northwest shelter and many of us are struggle. Thankfully our many supporters in our community have come to our rescue and neighboring shelters.  If you expand North, please keep Wisconsin and Minnesota as well as Canada in mind.

    Hi, 

    Yes, we are all super busy as intake is rising and the holiday frenzy is in full throttle. This is wonderful, Braulio. Any chance you'll have distribution opportunities in the SE?  I could share your information on the No Kill SC 2024 Partners FB page to reach South Carolina rescues and open-admission shelters if your resources would be made available to them.  You can reach out to me directly offline at LPearce@charlestonanimalsociety.org and let me know or respond here.  No Kill SC 2024 is an initiative of Charleston Animal Society funded by Petco Love but we collaborate with multiple national partners on transports, adoptions, and disaster response. 

    Kindly,

    Lisa Pearce
