ASPCA x WHISKAS: LITTERS OF THE WEEK
ASPCA and Whiskas are teaming up to save lives: one unforgettable name at a time.
Each week, together with ASPCA, we are highlighting a new litter of adoptable cats with strange names across all platforms, serving to find these kitties new homes while making sure those homes are equipped with cat-safety knowledge.
The best way to avoid preventable deaths is to understand what causes them. And to remember what causes them, we’re giving a ridiculously adorable face to the name.
THIS WEEK’S LITTER
The sweet smell and taste attract cats, but even small amounts can cause kidney failure. Store safely and clean up spills immediately.
Traps, rodent poisons, and pesticides can cause harm to the pets we're trying to protect. Cats can be injured by traps or poisoned by eating affected rodents. Opt for a cat-safe brand and monitor traps frequently.
Found in many household cleaning agents, ammonia can cause burns and respiratory distress. Keep cats away while cleaning with these products, and keep the areas cleaned with ammonia well-ventilated.
Fragrances in fabric softeners can entice cats, while chemical and even natural scenting agents can be fatal when ingested. Make sure bottles are securely stored and any leaks are cleaned immediately.
Many household disinfectants can be toxic to cats. To ensure cats do not infect themselves during grooming, rinse disinfected surfaces with water after using.
Dryer sheets contain chemicals that cause ulcers and burns when ingested by cats. Store securely or opt for alternatives such as dryer balls instead.
