In recent months we have had a high incidence of respiratory problems
with cats in our shelter - some that have had severe sudden-onset
asthma-like symptoms. After one kitten's symptoms cleared up almost
immediately after a change of bedding, we are thinking that laundry
detergent might have something to do with this. I don't know what the
cat care workers are using - but would appreciate any suggestions for a
brand of detergent that you would consider cat-safe.

A few safe brands are Ecover, Seventh Generation and Ecos.  You can get these
at a Whole Foods, or better yet, and much cheaper, you can get them at Trader
Joe's if you have one nearby.

Several manufacturers now make formulas that are dye, perfume and color
free (such as Tide). You can also try going to a natural food store
(some grocery stores have an organic section too). I know there are
several natural and eco-friendly brands out there, though I can't think
of any by name right now.
