Special Kitty Odor Control Cat Litter

Walmart's house-brand clay litter at under 50¢/lb — the cheapest clumping option that actually works. Unscented, easy-pour jug design, and multi-cat capable make it a genuine value pick.

$8-$10
Pros
  • Lowest cost per pound (~48¢) of any recommended clumping litter
  • Easy-pour 14-lb jug with screw-top lid — no heavy bags
  • Unscented bentonite clay formula works for multi-cat households
  • Recyclable jug packaging
Cons
  • Tracks more than premium options — expect some litter outside the box
  • Clumps not quite as tight as Dr. Elsey's or Arm & Hammer
  • Only available at Walmart — not sold on Amazon or Chewy
Why we recommend it

Don't let the low price fool you — Special Kitty holds its own against litters twice the cost. If budget is your primary concern and you don't mind a quick sweep around the box, this is the smart buy.

What the community says

I was using one of the cheapest litters I could find (Special Kitty), but no matter how often I cleaned, the smell wafted throughout the whole house.
