KIT4CAT 2lb Hydrophobic Cat Litter for Urine Sample Collection, Uniquely Made with Natural Sand - Keeps Liquid Clean and On Top | CheckUp on Your Cat's Wellness at Home (3 x 11oz Bags)

This hydrophobic cat litter is perfect for collecting urine when my cat has a vet appointment. It even comes with collection tubes and a pipette, making it very easy to use. It holds up well and works exactly as expected. Highly recommend!

Every cat parent should use these kits to collect urine samples. They’re easy to use and spare your cat the invasive cytocentesis.

This works great for our cats - I'm sure not all cats approve. Made urine collection easy, simple, and non-invasive.

I wish this hydrophobic litter came in a larger quantity. You do not need to use a lot, but when there is only a thin layer my fosters and my own cats do not want to use the litter box. I had to cover more of the box, so I ended up using 1.5 bags that came in the package just to make it look full enough for them. Because of that, I had to order more of the product to have on hand. I foster and do rescue work, so keeping supplies like this ready to go really helps me save money and time. It helps me avoid running to the doctor for every urinalysis. I test urine at home and I already have access to broad spectrum antibiotics like Clavamox, but I always check symptoms and use several test strips to confirm what is going on. I even bought extra test strips to compare them, because I want to make sure they are accurate. My main issue is that this product is expensive and it is stressful when you need to isolate a cat, but the box does not look full enough for them to feel comfortable. Mine would look at the box and walk away if the litter layer was too thin. Once I spread it out to cover the surface more, they did finally go in. The litter is unscented free of chemically smell. If you use scented litter. STOP it is so bad for a cat’s respiratory and allergies. I also tell people to make sure the litter box is completely clean before collecting any sample. I use a veterinary disinfectant called V10 Veterinary Disinfectant (bought on Amazon). It requires dilution and I let it sit for ten minutes, scrub it, rinse it, and dry it well. If you do not have that product, you can use a diluted bleach ratio of 1 part bleach to 32 parts water. The dilution is: 1 ounce bleach 31 ounces water A 32 ounce spray bottle works for that mix. Just make sure you rinse away every bit of residue. Cats lick their paws and I never want any chemical left behind. I always keep clean litter boxes ready for testing, but if you do not, just make sure you really wash and rinse everything. I also wish this kit came with more test strips and extra pipettes. Use fresh pipettes every time and do not reuse anything. If you lose a pipette or need an extra one, something that worked for me was going to my local apothecary and buying a clean tincture bottle. The droppers for tincture bottles work well as long as they are new and clean and they can be reused once the glass portion is sterilized. This product does work, but you will probably need more litter than you expect, especially if you have picky cats like mine.

I recently had to obtain a urine sample at home for my senior cat and he absolutely refused to use the fake litter the vet provided. I had read about this product and decided to give it a try, and within 1.5 hours my cat used the litter box! I did use all 3 litter packs to make sure there was enough "litter" in our large litter box, but I was easily able to get a clean urine sample to bring to the vet. If your cat won't use the vet-provided fake litter, definitely give this a try!

My male cat is skittish and had a persistent UTI. I needed to collect a urine sample for the vet, but the cat would not use the litter box with beads instead of his litter. I ordered this product and it worked quite well. The cat was a little apprehensive at first because it is sand and not the litter that he is used to, but eventually, he evacuated his bladder. The urine really does stand on top of the sand and does not contaminate the specimen. Pips and vials are provided to collect the specimen to take to the vet. I would never have believed it if I had not seen it! I have bought this produce twice and will buy it again if necessary.

I specifically ordered a product called kit 4cat which my vet recommended and I received this product. Maybe they change the name of the product but I've never heard of this stuff before. Yesi t does what the other brand is supposed to do and I'm sure this is far cheaper than the vet getting a sample from the cat. But I was a little bugged that they only included two test strips one little squeezy plastic tube thing which is clear and very easy to misplace as I did. Since you get three packs of sand, I'm baffled why they didn't include three test strips or an extra squeezy tube to collect the urine for each testing. For the cost of 3 really small bags of sand I felt they could have splurged a little and included two or three squeeze tubes. I needed to do a secondary test first thing in the morning as recommended and couldn't find the dang squeeze tube anywhere. Couldn't find any thing to use in place of the cheap squeeze tube so I just dipped the strips into the urine puddles around the sand. You clean off the strips of excess urine and compare the colors to the chart on the back of the instruction card. Hopefully I did the test strips correctly. Don't forget to refrigerate the test strips and then take them to your vet to have them evaluate them. Why did you pick this product vs others?: I selected what my vet recommended and this is what I got. I think if I have to do it again I will look for something else.

Works as advertised. As soon as I put the litter down, the cat went in and a urine sample was easily extracted

The urine floats on top. It is amazing. We just tried it and my cat was fine. She only had stomach problem. Saved money on a lot of useless tests.

Fast delivery. Works exactly as described. Very efficient, clean, easy to use.

Easy to use, although pipette and test tube a bit small - however loved the second strip just in case. The protein marker was difficult to read due to very similar colours but thought there was an issue. We tested our cat, he used the litter as normal stuff (use alone - no other litter. Don't be deterred by lack of coverage. We have extra large cat -6.8kg - so extra large litter tray, sparse cover, still worked well) we thought possible urinary infection as blocked 1 year ago and was (sorry graphic) grooming his penis in a way he hasn't before. Test suggested ph problem (UTI) and protein in urine (kidney problem). Straight to vet who confirmed PH imbalance possible cystitis, possible early diagnosis of kidney disease.... that was after blood tests and further urine analysis. So for an extremely nervous stressed out cat this worked well to test before subjecting him to the severe stress of a visit to the vet. Although that is where it ulimately led! Will buy again!! Thank you.

This is an awesome product. We have been using Pretty litter and when it indicated blue meaning possible urinary tract infection we phoned the vet. They explained we could find a product such as this to collect a sample for them to test. They explained it is a much more difficult process in the office as one of my cats is shall we say aggressive with the vet. So we tried another product first which I'm sure works fine for some but my cats wouldn't use it as it looked and felt nothing like cat litter. So round 2 I found this product and it seemed to fix the issues I was having. I set up a small litter box and separated my cats they each had a turn. I was amazed this product feels and looks like sand but let me tell you it acts very different. It was amazing the cats jumped right in they can't resist a fresh litter box. The urine sits perfectly on top and was extremely easy to collect and put in the sample tube. I labeled and placed the samples in the fridge to bring to the vet in the morning. Once at the vet it only took them around 15 minutes to process the samples. We found that our little boy Romeo had a mild bladder infection. We caught it early so a bit of antibiotics and a food change and we were good to go. I will be using this product exclusively anytime I am concerned with my pets health. It is such an easy and affordable process. I just want to thank the makers of this amazing medical tool.

Ich habe einige Katzenstreu(Uringewinnung) ausprobiert, die Katze mochte weder die Konsistenz noch den Geruch. Nachdem ich regelmäßig den Katzen-Urin untersuchen lassen muss, bin ich über das Produkt SUPER glücklich!!!!!! Problemlose Uringewinnung....sofort nochmal bestellt:) Danke Julia
