In PURR-fect Harmony patented formula, the cat litter chemically reacts with pet urine, preventing urea formation and generation of bacteria
More effective than any clay based litter and will be the first to the market with patented technology.
Has all the benefits of clay litter but at lower dust, light weight, fast and strong clumping, better absorbency, naturally anti-bacterial, highly odor controlled, emission free, safe and effective eco-friendly technology made from over 85% recycled materials.
PURR-fect Harmony fly ash is recycled for reuse from landfills for the manufacturing of PURR-fect Harmony product. Not only fly ash is reused from landfill sites, but also after use PURR-fect Harmony is not transported to landfill like clay-based cat litters, used as an excellent fertilizer for garden, plants & flowers.
PURR-fect Harmony is more effective in odor and bacteria control than any other, even eco-friendly claimed cat litters, such as corn, wheat, woodchips, recycled paper and walnut shells.
Cost of production is substantially lower than any other product in the market due to uniqueness of our formula and required manufacturing process. It can sell in any category for less than all-popular products:
1) Raw materials: Price of fly ash and conversion to activated carbon is substantially lower than clay (lower than $30 vs. $150 per ton)
2) Manufacturing is more than 50% cheaper than clay based products: no kilns, no thermal energy, minimal grinding if any.
3) Profit margin 3-4 x higher than clay-based products
Fly ash is a very fine (flour-like) material that has a small particle size (typically between 1 – 100 microns in diameter). Fly ash particles are typically very spherical in nature, and have silica and alumina content, which is critical for use in the geopolymerization reaction of the final product.
The clay—or sodium bentonite, more specifically—is obtained via strip mining, requiring massive amounts of soil and rock to be moved in order to access the mineral seam underneath. The result is a giant hole in the ground that needs to be filled and then returned to something resembling a natural state.
1) Strip mining destroys landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats at the site of the mine when trees, plants, and topsoil are cleared from the mining area. This in turn leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land.
2) When rain washes the loosened top soil into streams, sediments pollute waterways. This can hurt fish and smother plant life downstream, and cause disfiguration of river channels and streams, which leads to flooding.
3) There is an increased risk of chemical contamination of ground water when minerals in upturned earth seep into the water table, and watersheds are destroyed when disfigured land loses the water it once held.
4) Strip mining causes dust and noise pollution when top soil is disrupted with heavy machinery and coal dust is created in mines.
5) Not only is the conventional clay cat litter mined in destructive ways, bentonite clay cat litter is also known to contain silica dust, which is classified as a carcinogen according to California’s Proposition 65.
Bentonite in clumping litters are harmful to cats and dogs and fume/dust for humans. Bentonite is the cause of concern for pets (links below). It has been suggested that clumping cat litter can cause digestive harm if ingested by cats while cleaning. Sodium bentonite clay in clumping cat litters swell up to 15 times its original volume when a cat urinates or defecates into it. When cats ingest this material it can cause gastrointestinal distress that in some cases can lead to death.

PURR-fect HARMONY is “Dual Green” at both ends of the cycle: Reduces Landfill and not transported to Landfill after use!!
Good for the earth, good for people, loved by cats preferring a sandy, odor free litter.
More than 85% reclaimed fly ash for production makes it an earth-friendly “green” litter product. Low raw material and manufacturing costs, and huge savings in landfill use and transportation costs (TENS OF MILLIONS SAVED IN WASTE TRANSPORTATION COSTS)
My patented litter is scientifically-developed premium clumping product that is far superior to current litter products. The fast-drying and fast-clumping product aids in odor control, is designed for hooded litter boxes and automatic litter boxes.
Natural sodium alginate (SA) is used to achieve strong clumping. This compound is widely used in our food industry as a gel or coagulant and in pharmaceutical products:

https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/5102882#section=Top
https://www.artmolds.com/alginate-pharmaceutical-uses
When taken orally, sodium alginate binds to and blocks the intestinal absorption of various isotopes, such as radium Ra 226 (Ra-226) and strontium Sr 90 (Sr-90). In the litter SA molecules are attached to the base litter material. Small amount of mineral oil prevent SA from settling over time.
Having instantaneous strong clumps is a significant competitive advantage relative to the performance of other litter products on the market. Through gel cross-linking mechanism, the litter clump continues to increase in strength over time. The short-term and long-term strength of my litter is therefore far superior to other litter products. My product consistently performs as good as or better than any currently marketed sodium bentonite clumping litter. Furthermore, my clumping litter product dries faster than the leading brands of clay-clumping litters, which makes my product better suited for hooded and automatic litter boxes. Traditional clay litters swell instantly to form a clump, but their clumps are typically “gooey” because they dry slowly; however, the clumps with my litter dry fast resulting in no more gooey clumps. These are ideal for automatic litter boxes, which can get messy when contacting gooey clumps.
Clay and bentonite are obtained by strip-mining – huge mining holes with unearthed ground that never can be returned back to nature – flyash is the opposite – mountains of landfill sites are all over and will be recycled / reused and reduced by PURR-fect HARMONY bringing the waste back to natural condition. Please see pictures.
Your company would be first to stop using strip mining and transporting the used litter to landfill: 5 Billion pounds of clay litters are transported to landfill annually in US only and growing.

Yes, I did use the product and really enjoyed it. The cat litter was by far the best I have used. I was sad to see the product go.
Oh my gosh that would be amazing if we got that back on the market. I manage a dog and cat specialty shop. I had used everything on the market as far as ethically produced products go but my cats never liked the feel of the corn based litters and would not use the litter box. When we brought on purrfect harmony the fact that is was made from recycled material and was helping the environment but still had the clay feel to it is what made me decide to try it. With in the first week of using it all my litter box issues went away and my cats loved it. The odor control was impressive, the clumping was amazing. My customers loved the product so much I had a hard time keeping it in stock. My best wishes to you, I can't wait for it to come back out.
We sold the litter in our store, it was a big seller in fact we had customers asking for it long after we were not able to get it anymore.
We did very well with PURR-fect Harmony litter, I really hope you can bring it back. That was a while ago, so I'm not sure what I can do for customer testimonial, but nearly all of my employees used it and we bought a lot out of the remaining stock when it folded.
