A fast-absorption animal litter comprises an organic material and a surfactant, the two products being uniformly mixed and formed into a pellet. The organic material is preferably yellow pine wood fiber. The product quickly absorbs moisture in a litter pan allows the litter pan to remain drier and to be refilled less frequently. The pellets may be left intact to limit tracking of the material, or may be crumbled for a softer texture. In the process for forming the material, crumbled pellets are screened to separate fines and dust, which are returned for re-pelletizing. |
