King William factory has been a major producer of the nation s cat
litter supply. Located on Tidy Cat Road just 25 miles northeast of
Richmond, our 40-acre plant site is built adjacent to a 486-acre
clay mine, so we re able to efficiently and effectively mine,
process, package, and ship raw material and finished product from
the same facility. We are a Continuous Operation, with alternative
shift options to mass produce both our conventional and clumping
cat litter that supplies the mid-Atlantic region with nearly a
third of a million tons annually and over half a million tons by
2016. For 50 years, brands like Tidy Cats have combined the highest
quality ingredients and science to even the most disposable
products. The 70 s advanced into microencapsulated deodorant, by
the 90 s we were clumping and scooping, and in 2000 we introduced
Crystals made from silica gel, and designed to last 30 days between
changes. Innovation continues today. In 2013, Purina revolutionized
the cat litter category, producing LightWeight litter, which has
all the strength, but only half the weight of conventional litter.
