Supermarket shelves have been left empty of cat litter following a major supplier falling into administration, according to The Grocer.

Bob Martin, which accounted for a large proportion of the UK cat litter market, appointed administrators in November and parts of the business were sold to Pets Choice.

But complications in transferring supermarket listings from Bob Martin to Pets Choice have led to a widespread cat litter shortage across a number of supermarkets, according to The Grocer report.

Pets Choice said the transfer of supermarket listings from Bob Martin had resulted in delays but normal supply should be available shortly.
