Looking to spoil your cat? There are few better ways to show your love and appreciation for your beloved feline than through a cat subscription box. Whether you subscribe to toys, litter, food, or a combination of these products, it can be incredibly fun to present your cat with presents each month and, of course, a new box for them to play in. Not only that, it can be quite a relief knowing that you have a continual supply of the items you need most for your cat and that you have access to incredible deals and savings compared to store-bought products.
Every year, we ask our readers to share their top recommended subscriptions of all types. Then we ask our experts to share what they know about each subscription to make it easy for you to know which subscription is right for you. Below, you’ll find our insights for shopping cat subscription boxes, and see readers’ top choices for cat toys, cat food, cat-themed attire, and more.
What To Look For When Shopping Cat Subscriptions
Once you've decided you're ready to pick a cat subscription box, you'll need to consider a few things before making a purchase:
- Flexibility: Does the brand you're considering offer flexibility when it comes to delivery frequency or making product swaps? You'll definitely want to go with a cat subscription that allows you to change things up when you need to and works with your schedule and needs best.
- Ingredient Sourcing: Does the brand offer real, human-grade ingredients in its food or use non-toxic ingredients in its toys and supplies? Make sure you choose a brand that's transparent about its ingredient sourcing and uses the cleanest ingredients possible to keep your cat safe and living his or her best life.
- Price: Is it really worth subscribing to this brand over buying products you need at the store? You'll want to check that you're getting the best deals possible with your cat subscription and that there are customer perks that seal the deal.

1. CatLadyBox
Best Cat Subscription Box for Fashionable Feline Owners

Image via our review.
What’s In This Cat Subscription Box
CatLadyBox happens to be the one subscription box on our list that's intended to be used by cat owners more than actual cats. It delivers an assortment of cat-themed jewelry and clothes to home décor, books, and more, but also includes a few goodies for your feline companion if you select the Crazy CatLadyBox. You'll receive your subscription box on a monthly basis but can pay month to month or prepay with a 3 or 6-month plan.
CatLadyBox's basic box is designed specifically for cat ladies and comes with 3-4 items such as an exclusive umbrella with a design by a cat lady artist, a set of Cat Butt Pillowcases, a pair of sterling silver Shining Star cat earrings, and custom-designed shirts. The deluxe box, Crazy CatLadyBox, contains just as many products as the basic box but also includes two goodies for your cat such as treats or toys.
What sets CatLadyBox apart from your general cat-themed attire and products is that each item is sourced from independent artists and small businesses, so you don't have to worry about receiving a generic item as you won't be able to find these products anywhere else. Also, it offers custom unisex shirts that range in size from XS-5XL so the majority of women and men alike will be able to show off their cat swag comfortably.
Pros
- Specifically designed for cat lovers
- Two subscription boxes are available
- Products derived from small businesses and independent artists
Cons
- Doesn't offer many treats or toys for cats
