Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Disclosure

Premium Cat Litter may earn from some product recommendations on this site, including selected mentions of relevant commercial destinations. We disclose those relationships clearly so readers understand the context before they click.

Important: We only recommend products we believe in. Commercial relationships do not influence our editorial content, product reviews, or recommendations. Our primary goal is helping cat owners make informed decisions that benefit their feline companions.

Our Commercial Relationships

Editorial Relationship

Recommended Brands

Premium Cat Litter may reference products from brands we believe are relevant to the buying context of a page, including a merchant when it fits the reader's stated need.

Impact on Content:
  • We cover premium litter buying criteria, not a single brand catalogue
  • Editorial decisions are made independently
  • Product comparisons use objective criteria
  • Cat health and welfare remain our top priority
Current Linking Practice

Commercial Product Links

Commercial links are used selectively so readers can move from educational content to a product, retailer, or brand resource when that next step is genuinely useful.

What This Means:
  • We disclose commercial relationships on-site
  • Readers can distinguish editorial pages from shopping destinations
  • Support and ordering should happen on the merchant's official channels
  • Editorial standards still apply when we mention commercial products
Future Policy

Additional Compensated Links

If Premium Cat Litter later adds compensated retailer links beyond a merchant, we will update this page and the relevant articles to identify those programs specifically instead of implying they are already active.

What This Means:
  • We will name each active program directly
  • We will not imply participation before links exist on-site
  • Relevant pages will identify compensated links clearly
  • This disclosure will be revised when the site setup changes

How Commercial Funding Supports the Site

The site is funded through selective commercial relationships we explicitly disclose. That support helps keep the educational content free to readers.

Product Testing

Product comparisons, content revisions, and maintenance work all take time and resources. Commercial support helps keep those updates moving.

Expert Review

Source review, citation upkeep, and health-and-safety checks require dedicated editorial effort.

Website Operations

Hosting, development, and maintenance costs to keep our educational resources accessible and up-to-date.

Research Access

Access to primary references, content tooling, and editorial operations supports evidence-based updates.

Maintaining Editorial Independence

Commercial relationships never determine our editorial conclusions. Here's how we maintain independence:

Topic Selection

We write about topics based on reader needs and cat health priorities, not commercial potential. Content calendars are developed independently of commercial considerations.

Product Selection

Products featured in guides and comparisons are selected based on merit, popularity, and relevance. We discuss products across the category when that gives readers a more accurate comparison or buying frame.

Review Process

Our testing methodology is standardized and applied consistently regardless of commercial relationship. Negative findings are reported honestly.

Recommendation Criteria

Recommendations are based solely on product quality, cat safety, and owner needs. We prioritize your cat's wellbeing over potential revenue or conversion pressure.

How Clear Disclosure Benefits You

Clear labeling helps readers understand when a link is purely editorial and when it points toward a commercial destination.

Free Access

All our guides, comparisons, and educational content remain freely accessible—no paywalls or subscriptions required.

Clear Context

Readers can see when a shopping path leads to one merchant or another commercial page instead of mistaking it for a neutral reference.

Convenience

Direct links to official product or support pages save time when a reader is ready to validate details or contact the brand.

Accountability

If our commercial setup changes, this page should change with it so the disclosure stays accurate instead of drifting out of date.
