🐾 Frequently Asked Questions

🪨 What is your cat litter made from?

MATCHA litter is made from upcycled tofu and green tea fibres, waste from human food production that would have otherwise ended up in landfill.

It has been lab-tested for safety and safe for kittens.

Independently lab-tested to rule out any toxic contaminants or harmful chemicals. Each 4.7kg bag contains just 0.5% caffeine, so if your cat happens to nibble a pellet or two, it’s completely safe with virtually no trace exposure.

That’s why you can trust MATCHA Litter, developed by a Vet, backed by science, and safe enough for the cats we love most.


We do not recommend allowing any cat or kitten to ingest MATCHA Cat Litter. If this occurs or you have any concerns, please seek advice from your Veterinarian.

♻️ Is your packaging really compostable?

Yes! Certified home-compostable by the Australian Bioplastics Association under AS5810 standards.
No greenwashing here, just real, responsible materials.

🏡 How do I compost it at home?

Only compost pee clumps and the packaging, never poo. 

Full instructions in our MATCHA litter guide.

🐱 Is it safe for kittens and sensitive cats?

Absolutely. It’s low-dust, unscented, and soft underfoot. Our formula is lab-tested and free from harmful chemicals, even safe for curious kittens.
Tested and passed with flying colours, by several asthmatic cats!

🚽 Can I flush it?

Technically yes, but we don't recommend flushing poo due to potential marine infection with Toxoplasmosis.

Compost the pee clumps and packaging, bin the rest.

🧼 How does it control odour?

MATCHA litter is made of green tea which contains Catechins, special natural compounds that help fight smells in a smart way.

Here’s how they work:

  • 🫖 Catechins found in green tea are great at grabbing and locking away smelly stuff in your cat’s wee and poo.

  • 🦠 They also help stop smelly bacteria from growing, because catechins have natural antibacterial powers.

  • 💨 They even neutralise ammonia,  that strong, burn-your-nose cat pee smell, by breaking it down before it takes over your home.

  • 💚 Plus, green tea naturally reduces bacteria and odour, while the tiny 1.5mm pellets of MATCHA-tofu soak up liquid super fast, keeping paws and trays dry, fresh, and clean, without any fake perfumes.

That’s how we keep your home smelling like a home… not a litter tray!

🛍️ How long does a bag last?

One 4.7kg bag was carefully selected to go the distance.

For a single cat, it can last up to 2 months.

In multi-cat homes, it typically fills 2–3 litter trays and lasts around 3–4 weeks, depending on how many trays you scoop and how often.

 

Just 2 minutes a day, that’s it!
No need to fully empty the litter tray every few days. With MATCHA litter, all you need to do is scoop out the clumps and poop daily, and you’re good to go.

A full tray refresh? Only every 4 weeks (or even longer!) saving you time, mess, and stress.

I purposely chose larger bags to offer better value, reduce packaging waste, and make life easier for busy multi-cat households.

And for those planning ahead,  2 or 3 month subscription delivery options help reduce unnecessary courier trips, meaning less energy used, fewer emissions, and a smarter way to care for your cat (and the planet).

Because when it comes to litter, less mess and less waste really do go paw-in-paw.
