I'm here in Granada making arrangements for future permanent stay...and went to the supermercado to check on cat food/litter (I'm bringing my cat)...well, the cat food they have...but they had never heard of kitty litter! Anyone have ant suggestions what to do? My spoiled kitty is used to The World's Greatest litter! Help!!
Granada BTW I think is paradise!

I have seen cat boxes in people's houses so there is something. I knew one couple that bought sawdust from a wood worker. PriceSmart might sell it.
Try facebook, expats of Granada, lots of cat lovers on that page.

Try woodshavings, not as dirty as sawdust.
Cat is still going to track them a bit, but they are cleaner, smell good, and best of all, free.
Anyone who makes furniture will have them.
There is actually a demand for sawdust, they mix it into bricks, but little demand for wood shavings.

Also look for someone who manufactures boxes for cigars. They are pretty much everywhere, ask at that cigar shop in Granada.
They use a nice hardwood with an aromatic smell. The shavings are created as the lumber is planed to size. They generally give them away for the asking. I used to get truckload quantities, and provide the workers with gaseosas in exchange, but I doubt that you will have to pay for your small quantities. Bring a big plastic bag or two.

I'm in San Juan del Sur with my two cats. Used sand for almost a month before I found the vet's office and bags and bags of lovely kitty litter. Expensive but worth it. It's become one of our exclamations, when having a great day, throw your arms in the air and exclaim "Kitty Litter" I had no idea how wonderful it was until I was without it!

I thought I was a little crazy to bring two cats all the way from Canada! I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one :)
