Most cat parents see the first signs in week one — usually deeper sleep, less pacing, or your cat coming out from a hiding spot.

The full effect lands by week four. That's when ashwagandha — the lever that works on the chronic stress baseline — has had enough time to recalibrate her cortisol response.

If you don't see meaningful change by day 30, we want to know. Email support@kitlypet.com and we'll either troubleshoot or refund you. No proving anything required.

Two reasons. First — the drops mix into her existing food, wet or dry. She's not being asked to accept a new object. She's eating what she already eats.

Second — the dose is small (a few drops, not a half-teaspoon), and the active ingredients are suspended in MCT oil from coconut, which has almost no smell to a cat. The flavor signature stays below most cats' detection threshold once mixed.

If your cat is in the small minority that still notices and refuses, email us within 30 days. We refund, no questions.

Yes. Every ingredient is dosed at a conservative daily range intended for sustained, long-term use — not crisis intervention. Long-term use is the whole point of the formula.

Dr. Demitro set the dosing specifically to stay well below thresholds associated with any reported adverse effects in companion-animal studies. The full dosing rationale is included in the booklet that ships with every bottle.

That said — if your cat has a diagnosed liver or kidney condition, is pregnant, or is on any prescription medication, talk to your vet before starting.

You email us. We refund. That's the entire process.

You have 90 full days from the day your first bottle arrives. No returning the bottle. No filling out a form. No proving anything. Just email support@kitlypet.com and we send the money back within 48 hours.

We can offer 90 days instead of 30 because most cat parents see the full effect by week four. If you're still not sure by month three, the product wasn't right for your cat — and you shouldn't be paying for it.

Ashwagandha has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for 3,000 years, and is considered safe at conservative doses for companion animals. Published feline-specific data is more limited than for L-theanine or valerian, which is why we use it at a well-below-threshold daily dose reviewed and signed off on by Dr. Demitro.

We use the patented KSM-66 extract — the most-studied form, sourced from India, the same form used in human clinical trials.

If your cat has liver disease, autoimmune conditions, or is on prescription medication, consult your vet before starting.

Talk to your vet first. This isn't a brush-off — it's the right answer. Some of the ingredients in Kitly (valerian, melatonin) can interact with sedative or psychiatric prescription medications, including fluoxetine and gabapentin.

If you're on a prescription you're trying to taper off of, your vet can help you sequence the transition safely. Many of our customers have done exactly that, with vet supervision.

Email us if it would help to send a copy of the formulation document to your vet's office. We'll send it directly.

No. Kitly is not a sedative. None of the four active ingredients work by suppressing the central nervous system the way prescription sedatives do.

L-theanine increases alpha-wave activity — calm focus, not drowsiness. Valerian and ashwagandha modulate the stress response without flattening it. Melatonin restores the sleep-wake rhythm rather than forcing sedation.

The goal isn't a quieter cat. The goal is your cat — back. Just dialed down from the over-alert state she's been stuck at.

Senior cats (over 7 years): Yes. The gentle daily dosing is in fact especially well-suited to senior cats, whose anxiety is often a chronic, low-grade overload rather than acute panic. Many of our long-time customers are senior-cat households.

Kittens (under 12 weeks): We don't recommend Kitly for kittens under 12 weeks old. Their nervous systems are still developing rapidly and they don't typically experience the chronic-stress patterns this formula targets.

Kittens 12+ weeks: Safe at the under-5-lb dose (0.5 mL per day). If she's a kitten and showing signs of chronic stress — usually from a recent rehoming, a new environment, or aggressive housemates — Kitly is appropriate.

Talk to your vet before starting. Cats with diagnosed kidney or liver conditions metabolize supplements differently, and the right call depends on her labs, her stage, and what else she's taking.

For most cats with early-stage CKD or stable liver function, the gentle daily doses in Kitly are generally well-tolerated — but this is exactly the kind of question your vet should sign off on individually.

We're happy to send the full formulation document to your vet's office if it helps. Email support@kitlypet.com.

Yes. One click. From your account dashboard. No phone calls, no "retention specialist," no guilt trips.

The subscription ships every 30 days at 20% off the one-time price, with free worldwide shipping. You can skip a shipment, change the cadence to 45 or 60 days, swap your bundle size, or cancel entirely — all in the dashboard.

If you ever have a question that the dashboard can't answer, email support@kitlypet.com or call (970) 714-2419. We respond within 12 hours, Monday–Friday 9am–5pm MST.

That's expected. Kitly is a newer brand, and most general-practice vets default to the two products they've been recommending for years — usually a prescription or a major-brand calming chew.

What your vet has heard of is the four active ingredients: L-theanine, valerian, ashwagandha, and melatonin. These are all well-established in veterinary supplement literature — your vet can review the formulation in 5 minutes.

Email support@kitlypet.com and we'll send the full formulation document — including dosing rationale and ingredient sourcing — directly to your vet's office.
