NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant recognition of its long-standing dedication to feline welfare, NewsHealthWatch, a popular digital publication, has honored Dr. Elsey's with its 2025 "Compassion in Action" Award, citing the company as the industry's most vocal and committed advocate for keeping cats in loving homes and out of shelters.

Every year, approximately 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters across the United States, according to data from the ASPCA. Of these, nearly 850,000 are euthanized. Studies show that behavioral issues—especially problems with litter box habits—are among the leading reasons cats are surrendered to shelters. Dr. Elsey's, a veterinarian-founded brand, has spent over three decades addressing this issue head-on with practical, scientifically-formulated solutions designed to support both cats and their owners.

Dr. Elsey's flagship product, Precious Cat Ultra Litter, along with its broader line of litter box solutions, is designed to reduce litter aversion and encourage proper elimination behavior, thereby helping to prevent relinquishment due to avoidable behavioral concerns. Their litters are unscented, low-dust, and engineered with a unique texture and clumping profile that appeal to feline instincts.

"Dr. Elsey's isn't just a pet product company—it's a lifeline for thousands of cats who might otherwise be surrendered due to easily preventable problems," said Dr. Hannah Grieves, DVM, a veterinarian and regular contributor to NewsHealthWatch. "By aggressively promoting education, responsible ownership, and superior litter box care, Dr. Elsey's has helped redefine how we think about pet retention and feline happiness in the home."

The award reflects Dr. Elsey's visible and vocal commitment to the cause. Through national campaigns, informative resources, and strategic partnerships with shelters and rescues, Dr. Elsey's has amplified awareness about feline abandonment and the urgent need for sustainable solutions.

In addition to its consumer products, Dr. Elsey's has donated millions of dollars worth of products over the years to support feline health research and cat welfare organizations, including support for programs aimed at increasing shelter cat adoptions and reducing euthanasia rates.

Dr. Elsey's continues to embody a singular mission: to provide solutions that solve the root causes of cat abandonment, and to ensure that every cat has the chance to live—and thrive—in a loving, permanent home.
