Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

Corporations Canada's individuals-with-significant-control register for ROLF C. HAGEN INC. (federal corp 1564356-2), the legal entity catit.com's own imprint page names for the site, lists Rolf Hagen Jr., Thomas Hagen, and Mark Hagen, each holding 25-50% of shares directly, all with Quebec addresses.

Manufacturing

CA 20% · other 80%

Catit's own site does not disclose country of manufacture on product or legal pages. The CANADA List records manufacturing as Canada and China with some production occurring in Canada, consistent with a hardgoods and electronics line (litter boxes, fountains, smart feeders and cameras) typically sourced from Chinese contract manufacturers; no vendor confirmation of the split was found.

Corporations Canada lists the registered office and all three individuals with significant control at Quebec addresses, matching Wikipedia's account of a Montreal-headquartered company with Canadian distribution centres in Calgary and an office in Edmonton. Catit.com also runs a separate Catit USA contact page and lists a German entity (HAGEN Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG) as EU representative on its imprint, so a small non-Canadian staff share is assumed without a published headcount by country.

No vendor statement on material or component sourcing was found. Plastics and electronic components for litter boxes, fountains, and smart feeders are assumed to follow the same Asia-weighted pattern as final manufacturing, corroborated only by The CANADA List's Canada/China manufacturing note; this is an estimate, not a published breakdown.
