Catsan has been on the market for more than 40 years, making it one of the longest-established commercial cat litter brands. Throughout its history, the brand has focused on improving litter hygiene through innovations in absorbent mineral technology and odor-control systems. Its products have evolved from traditional non-clumping mineral litter to include advanced clumping formulas with enhanced odor protection. [2]

Today, Catsan operates under Mars Petcare, alongside well-known pet brands such as WHISKAS®, PEDIGREE®, ROYAL CANIN®, and DREAMIES®. [3]
