25 Years of Catit!
THIS YEAR, WE CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF CATIT!
In 1999, Rolf C. Hagen Inc. created Catit to better meet the needs of cat parents, building on the company’s strengths as a world renown manufacturer of pet supplies. What was needed then remains true today - practical and innovative products that enhance the health and wellbeing of cats worldwide.
Over the last 25 years, Catit has gained global recognition for introducing truly iconic products, from our unique mix and match Senses Design Series to our premium line of water fountains!
More recently, Catit has created a balanced assortment of delicious, high-quality cat foods and treats! Additionally, they have designed the PIXI Smart Design Series – a line of “smart” devices that incorporate the latest technology and can all be managed through a single app.
Being a true cat brand, Catit continually strives to create the perfect selection of products to delight cat owners and spoil your favourite felines.
As Catit looks to the future, they are focused on finding innovative ways to utilize renewable resources and create more sustainable alternatives to traditional cat litter.
Catit has so much gratitude to both their retail partners and customers; without them, this journey would never have been possible. With continued support, the brand will keep pushing the boundaries of innovative cat care. They look forward to serving feline companions around the world with dedication and passion for many more years to come.
