FAIRPORT HARBOR, OH–(Jul 29, 2016) – Every cat-owner’s dream has finally come true with the introduction of a litter that is all natural, highly absorbent and eliminates that dreaded litter box smell.

After years of extensive product development and testing, OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) is introducing Switchgrass Natural Cat Litter™ with BioChar that has been top ranked amongst competitors through third party testing. OurPet’s will be showcase the cat litter at their SuperZoo booth, #10219, in Las Vegas, NV.

OurPets® Switchgrass Natural Cat Litter™ with BioChar is biodegradable, all natural, sustainable, and is a non-food alternative to the other corn or wheat based natural cat litters in the marketplace. Switchgrass is a hardy, natural grass native to North America that does not require fertilization or the use of chemicals during growth. Historically, switchgrass has been used for flood control, not for feedstock.

Biochar is made using the pyrolysis process to convert natural wood chips to an activated, non-marking carbon that is proven to be highly odor and moisture absorbent. During pyrolysis, the volatile gases are collected and used as clean burning fuel while the CO2 is trapped in the pine wood with minimal CO2 release into the atmosphere.

Together, switchgrass and biochar combine to make a strong clumping cat litter that is safe, highly moister and odor absorbent, biodegradable, lightweight, and made in the U.S.A. from sustainable ingredients. OurPets® Switchgrass Natural Cat Litter™ will be sold in 10 and 20 pound bags and will be available for retail August 2016.
