I have had cats for 10 years now. Never have I experienced a better performing litter than since I have been using this litter. We have 3 cats and 5 boxes. There is absolutely no urine smell and no smell from stool (other than the initial smell which goes away quickly). I can even go a week without scooping and still notice no smell throughout the house - it's that good! I hope they never stop making this stuff! It's a Godsend for indoor cat owners! And so much cheaper than products that claim they're the best but do not actually measure up to their claims. Give it a try; you won't regret it.

Excellent odor control but dust level inconsistent
January 11, 2013

I bought a 40 lb bag of this litter. I love it for its excellent odor control, for both wet & dry waste without the heavy scent other brands use for cover up. The dust level on this bag was normal.
Unfortunately, the next bag I bought was very dusty. I was covered in dust and coughing on the first pour so I had to wash myself off head to toe immediately. I have been using clay based litter for more than a decade but this is the first time I am hit with this much dust. That is definitely no no for cats, which have smaller lung than us.
I contacted the company and they attributed the dust to transportation problem. It is certainly possible but their litter is also softer, lighter than others, which may explain why it breaks down to fine dust more easily.
Ironically, they have "Ultra low dust" on the front label but they can't say how they define ultra low dust quantitatively, unlike another major brand which claims their products is 99.5% dust free.
I was also told this is a clay litter so having dust is not unusual. I have used many clay litter before and the dust on this is at the top of the dusty litter list.
I hate to have to shower head to toe every time I pour a new box. And I certainly don't want the kitty develop any breathing problem due to this dust issue. I hope the company can work on ways to reduce dust in the future.

Bought a bag for trial, won't go back to others

I was looking for low dust litter for my asthma cat. The dust level is lower than my previous litter but you still need to wipe down the side of the box every week or so.
In terms of odor control, this is a superior product for both urine and feces. One of my cats likes to defecate outside whenever the boxes are not up to her standard. She approves this litter with both legs up :-) And there is no sickening perfume scent.
The clay is softer to the touch relative to other. It also clumps exceptionally well. My indoor cats highly recommend it.

This is a great product. I discoved it by accicent when I needed to find a new litter - my older cat (age 19) stopped using her box and was going in all the wrong places (not fun!) I was disperate. Not only does it have excellent order control but I really like the way it clumps - makes for an easy clean.

Have tried various litters, but my cats like clay or sand like litter. The one I regularly used left a film of dust in my room. I was tired of inhaling the dust. This one has no dust flying around. Smells great and clumps extremely well. Clumps so well the urine never makes t to the bottom of the box, even if my 4 cats are digging to China. And the litter is affordable in comparison to others.

A litter that doesn't track and is COMPLETELY dust free! I've used 99% dust free litters for years and always wondered how bad the other brands were since the one I was using was supposedly 99% dust free! This one stands up to its claims! Dust Free, No Tracking, and Odor Free. The only downside is I have to order it online since the local Petsmart doesn't carry it.

This litter has an extremely fine grain to it, and feels lighter than traditional clay litters. For some reason or another I felt compelled to fill the box up, more than usual, with about 2 inches of litter and I'm glad I did. As other reviewers have stated, you CAN get a yucky muddy mess on the bottom of your litter pail depending on how much litter is in the box and how your cat chooses to urinate. The majority of the time my cat wouldn't dig too deep and would "go" directly on a large high mound of litter. This formed the most SOLID and best clumping litter I've seen to date.
My main problem was the so-called "Intense Odor Control". The cat box didn't have a traditional "high ammonia" cat urine smell; but I could literally smell urine as soon as my cat used to box - even if I was in the other room. I could never skip a day. I literally had to dispose of the clumps every time she urinated just to keep the odor down in my home.This litter gives off a strange smell. For the first time ever it smelled like I had an animal in my house. Not necessarily a cat, but like some kind of a rodent in a cage or something. Perhaps that's due to the "natural" ingredients in this product.
Pros:
*Dust Free - Extra Fine Grain - Non Tracking
*Excellent Clumping
*Good Price

I started using Fresh Step Extreme Clumping the following week and am very satisfied with the odor control. I just wish it was a finer, better clumping litter like Natures Miracle.

After reading the reviews on this product, I went and brought a bag... It is really good! Our cats stay in the garage during the day while everyone is gone for the day. We have two cats. When you open the garage door, you can tell that they are contained in there for several hours of the day. With this, you can not smell the litter at ALL! We even went three days without scooping and there is no odor! I love this!

This is the best cat litter I have ever used for odor control. You can walk by the box a few minutes after the cat has used it and you wouldn't know it. This litter also has very little dust and doesn't track much. It does have a light scent, but not strong at all and my cats don't seem put off by it. I have seen some other litters that are supposed to be really great at odor control but they're way too expensive for someone who has to supply 4 cats, this is reasonably priced and gets the job done.

I have three indoor cats, and one has asthma, so I need a low dust, no odor litter and Nature's Miracle Just for Cats Intense Odor Defense is the best litter I have come across. The problem is that the Petsmart in Bend, Oregon is not able to stock this product, so I have to drive over 100 miles to a Petsmart store in Salem, Oregon to purchase this litter. Ordering it on line gets too expensive with shipping costs. Why won't Petsmart permit it's store in Bend to carry this product?? The manager in Bend has tried to help, but was unable to get the product.

Best cat litter by far

I keep a litter box in a small bedroom upstairs and have been plagued with bad odors no matter how often I scoop the box - until I tried this cat litter. I am amazed. There is no odor from the box at all, and I've had the same batch of litter in the box now for over a week (I scoop it every night or two.) This litter is absolutely worth the price. It doesn't clump as well as some other litters and the bag isn't as easy to maneuver as a jug, but no matter - the benefit of an odorless litter box far outweighs anything else!

I have two indoor cats, that at this time must share my bedroom - which means I must also share my room with their litter box. After trying tons of different litter, all claiming to be the best at odor control and clumping, the "NATURE'S MIRACLE Just for Cats Intense Defense Odor Control Clumping Litter" is the only one that REALLY handled the odor as well as the best clumping for my auto litter box. I cannot say enough about this litter.

THE BEST LITTER EVER!

Now that I have been using it for a month, I feel like I can really say this....I love this cat litter! The cost is the same as Tidy cat, I get 4 pounds more, and it lasts longer. There is NO smell at all, no dust, clumps beautifully. There was a period of three days that I didnt get to Lucky's box because it was so insane around here, and I didnt smell anything in the house or the bathroom. When I cleaned it, there was no ammonia smell at all. Lucky doesnt like to cover his #2's, and they can be super stinky, I cant even smell that.
Dont even think twice about buying this litter, JUST DO IT! You wont be dissapointed!

I have three indoor-only cats, all of whom insist on using the same litter box. I can't stand the perfume-like smell of some litters, and the others either don't clump well (or the clumps fall apart upon scooping) or don't neutralize the odor all that well - or it bleeds through despite repeated scooping. I tried this because of the reviews which I found here and I am SO glad that I did! I can't believe how this litter takes away the smell of both urine and feces - it's by far the best litter that I've ever used. And it clumps well and the clumps don't fall apart. Two drawbacks for me: 1) my local PetSmart stores don't carry the 40 lb. bag which is what I prefer now that I know how good it is; and 2) the bag can be unwieldy and flop around. But I plan on stocking up online (and using the free or reduced shipping options which come along) and transferring the litter from the bag to a pail which I have saved from another type of litter.

Several months ago, I began a search for a better cat litter. After trying multiple brands and types of litter, nothing beats this one. There is no odor or dust, extremely minimal tracking, clumps wonderfully, and I don't go through the litter as fast as I previously did.
I will not buy any other kind of litter from now on and I am recommending this to all the cat owner's I know.
Yes, the bag is heavy, but that is worth the payoff with its effectiveness! I also think the price is great, especially since I will not need to purchase it as often.

I was always been a litter snob. From the beginning I used Ever Clean. Over the last 18 years I have tried other brands (mostly due to the high price of Ever Clean) and have never found a suitable replacement. WOW I was amazed that this litter does what the bag says it does.
The only negative is that the bag is a bit unwieldy at 40 pounds. Could you use a plastic container or at least a box? Just don't increase the price much and I will use you exclusively from now on. My six cats are firm Natures Miracle cats.

First time cat owner, I tried this product and arm and hammer double duty clumping litter. This was way better! No horrid perfumy smell. It gets rid of odors far better. No dust when sifting the litter! This is the litter that I will use from now on :)

I have tried lots of different cheap litter and expensive litter. Before my favorites were Dr. Elsey and EverClean. But this one beats them. EverClean was dusty, and Dr. Elsey because of it's larger grain size was harder to filter while scooping thus using it up faster. But Nature's Miracle Intense Defense is smaller sized grains like EverClean sans dust. It controls odor very well. I have multiple cats, so I am very picky about litter. The only thing I would like them to change about this product is the packaging. It's very hard to lift the 40 lb. bag, which I need for my multiple cats. I wish that would offer it in plastic jugs similar to Tidy Cat. Too bad Tidy Cat is not very good litter. Also, I wish all the PetSmarts would sell this litter. I have to travel out of my way to get it, as the 2 PetSmart's close by don't carry it.

I absolutely love this stuff!!! The litter doesn't stick to their paws like the cheap stuff which means NO TRACKING!!! And the odor control is great. Scooping is a breeze as well, the litter clumps perfectly. Sadly, my store was out of it today & I had to get the regular Nature's Miracle which is a bit more expensive. I have faith that it will work equally as well though.
Pros: eliminates odor, easy to clean, low dust
