After a deep dive into the cat industry, both Spencer and I (Zach) realized a major issue...Over 90% of the cat industry is imported from China and/or made of plastic. For obvious reasons, this is terrible for the United States, for the Earth, AND for the kitties!
Cat toys are almost exclusively made of plastics and synthetics that NEVER decompose. Each of those toys is made, and will stay on this planet furrever. This is cat activity toys, feather sticks, plush toys, faux materials, and much much more. Your favorite cat trees are made of plastic and fake wood made of plastics, awful glues and adhesives, and other materials that never biodegrade.
During times like we are in now, supporting local, supporting small, and supporting companies that prioritize sustainability and eco-friendliness, is more important than ever! VYBE Cats is putting together a list of American-Made and based businesses that support this same mission.
Some of these include:
- vybecats.com
