I took my kitten Sheena (9 weeks) to the vet yesterday and they mentioned that her sneezing and runny nose might be a litter allergy.
Her allergy symptoms were concerning to me because I already have an adult cat, Sebastian (4 years), who has allergies to outside allergens and as a result I’m already constantly running air purifiers with HEPA filters. I was really confused as to what it could be and I didn’t even consider that it could be the litter.
I use fresh step, clean paws for her box and ultimate for the boys box. The boys use a box with a hood but she won’t get in it so she has a regular open litter tray.
The vet mentioned that fresh step might be too dusty which is fair because the “low dust” label on the outside is a huge lie.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with a cat that has a litter allergy and what litter works for them? Once I get her a new litter should I switch the boys litter too? Which litters are actually low dust?
Unfortunately I forgot to ask the vet these questions as we were preoccupied with her other problems, but with a little more work she’s going to be fine as she plays and eats like a champion.
