What’s In This Cat Subscription Box?

meowbox is a monthly cat subscription box that sends your furry friend at least four fun toys and one treat. You get to handpick the theme for your first box, but all future boxes are a complete surprise - but don't worry, every box is absolutely adorable. meowbox is well known for only sending high-quality toys that are built to last along with clean cat treats.

You can choose to receive your box on a monthly or bi-monthly basis and each box contains products that are sourced from small businesses and artisans. Additionally, all treats are either organic, functional, single/limited-ingredient, or grain-free, and always produced in the US or Canada. However, you can also select the "No Food" option at checkout to substitute treats for an extra toy if your cat has allergies or sensitivities.

2. CatLadyBox

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 parents (i.e. the crazy cat lady) instead of actual cats. Each Crazy CatLadyBox sends cat moms an assortment of cat-themed jewelry, clothes, and home décor, and more as well as a few goodies for their feline companion. You can expect to find cat-themed items like a set of Cat Butt Pillowcases, a pair of sterling silver Shining Star cat earrings, and custom-designed shirts in your box as well as cat toys and treats.

What sets CatLadyBox apart from other luxury cat subscription boxes 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 cat parents will be able to show off their cat swag comfortably.

You'll receive your subscription box on a monthly basis but can pay month to month or save by prepaying for a 3 or 6-month plan.

Pros

Cons

Shipping: For regular CatLadyBox subscriptions, shipping is FREE within the contiguous United States, $12.95 a month to U.S. subscribers outside of the 48 states and Canada.
