Giddy Kitty® Expands into Canada Through Distribution Partnership with Natural Pet Distributors
Partnership brings Giddy Kitty’s innovative Purrsuits® treat-toy system to Canadian pet retailers, marking an important milestone in the brand’s North American expansion.
Giddy Kitty®, the award-winning feline enrichment brand behind the Purrsuits® interactive treat-toy system, is expanding into Canada through a new distribution partnership with Natural Pet Distributors. The partnership will bring Giddy Kitty products to pet retailers in Canada and marks an important next step in the brand’s North American growth.
The expansion follows a period of rapid momentum for Giddy Kitty, including growing U.S. retail distribution, e-commerce expansion, and increased industry attention around the Purrsuits system, a Whole Hunt™ enrichment system promoting that ‘No Hunt is Complete without the Treat™ ‘.
Pet industry entrepreneur Carrie Van Wert founded Giddy Kitty, building on her track record of identifying unmet needs in the feline category, including her previous company, Kitty Sift®, which she successfully built and exited.
At the center of the brand is the Purrsuits system, which pairs interactive treat toys with proprietary Purrsuits Cat Treats designed to work across the product line. Built around Giddy Kitty’s philosophy, “No hunt is complete without the treat,” the system connects active play with an edible reward inspired by cats’ natural hunting instincts.
For retailers, the model creates opportunities to merchandise toys and treats together, build multi-product baskets, and encourage repeat purchase through the consumable treat component.
The partnership comes as interest in, and recognition of, the importance of feline enrichment continues to grow. Giddy Kitty’s integrated treat-toy + treat system gives independent retailers a differentiated way to engage cat parents, cross-merchandise across categories, and introduce shoppers to a broader enrichment platform that makes life better for cats and the people who love them.
“Expanding into Canada is an important milestone for Giddy Kitty and another step toward bringing better feline enrichment to more cats and their families,” said Carrie Van Wert, Founder and CEO of Giddy Kitty. “Natural Pet Distributors shares our commitment to quality products and independent pet retail, and we’re excited to introduce Canadian retailers and cat parents to the Purrsuits ecosystem.”
Founded in 2006, Natural Pet Distributors has built its business around quality pet products, dependable distribution, and strong customer relationships. The company emphasizes locally sourced and owned products, environmental responsibility, and socially responsible business practices, making it a complementary partner for Giddy Kitty’s expansion into Canada.
“We’re excited to partner with Giddy Kitty and introduce the Purrsuits® system to independent pet retailers across Canada,” said Jason Trickett, CEO of Natural Pet Distributors. “As more cat parents recognize the importance of enrichment and interactive play, we’re seeing a growing opportunity for innovative products that support cats’ natural instincts. Giddy Kitty offers something truly unique by combining toys and treats into one engaging experience, while giving retailers an exciting way to differentiate their assortment, connect with customers, and encourage repeat purchases.”
Giddy Kitty also supports retail and distributor partners with a wholesale portal, product education, how-to-play videos, QR-code tutorials, merchandising tools, and The Giddy Guarantee™, all designed to help retailers educate consumers and support sell-through.
The new partnership with Natural Pet Distributors builds on Giddy Kitty’s growing U.S. retail and distribution network and reflects the brand’s commitment to making its feline enrichment solutions more widely available throughout North America.
Giddy Kitty continues to welcome inquiries from qualified regional and national distribution partners interested in bringing the brand to additional markets.
