Why Cruelty-Free?
More than half of the brands you see in stores still test on animals. Animal testing
is less reliable than non-animal alternatives to determine product safety, yet
companies or governments rely on it because it’s cheap. By choosing cruelty-free
products, we can vote with our money and show brands that animal testing will no
longer be tolerated.

How does Cruelty-Free Kitty help?


We verify brands by contacting them directly, and each brand added to our
cruelty-free list has been carefully vetted and has answered all our questions.

One of the differences between Cruelty-Free Kitty and organizations such as PETA
or Leaping Bunny is that we’re the ones reaching out to companies, while PETA and
Leaping Bunny certification is done on a voluntary basis. By reaching out to brands,
we gather animal testing policies from companies that are otherwise overlooked.
This is why our database includes over 850 brands, including all the popular brands
found in stores.

Many big brands try to trick consumers with misleading claims and incomplete
policies. We publish their full animal testing policies and expose those that are not
truly cruelty-free. Examples of such brands include Wet n Wild, Physicians Formula,
L’Oreal, Origins, MAC, and many more.

More Information
Brand policies are subject to change. For more information and to find the
latest updates, please visit crueltyfreekitty.com.
