My aunt recently became the proud momma of these two beauties:
Meet River and Pond, two gorgeous Russian Blues.
She came to me on the hunt for ethical pet supplies. Not being a pet owner myself, I hadn’t done a lot of previous research into pet products, but I was up for the challenge! Here are some ethically-made products I found to help you love on your feline friends. (Most of these sources also offer products for dogs.)
- Made in USA
- Uses recyclable and refillable cardboard discs
2. Hemp Cat Collar by Purrfect Play
- Made in Indiana, USA
- All silver collar charms are made by fair trade artisans in Thailand
3. Teal Collar by Found My Animal
- Made in Brooklyn, USA
- Intended for dogs, but comes in multiple sizes and has a size chart, so you could see if their small size might fit a husky cat.
4. Catnip Stick Cat Toy from Ten Thousand Villages

How killer is that pyramid cat house? It’s like a villain’s lair. I kind of want a human-sized one. Who else loves Russian Blue cats?
