Could my cat's skin rash and hair loss be from a new litter allergy?

Question

My cat is allergic to many things,I used for his litter box a cat litter that was natural clay which was great,but now it's stopped from sale here,and I had to try new,which content was natural clay too,but I see in it along with the clay granules some pink and blue ones and I think that's not natural,in the second day of using it I found some hair losses and red skin on him,which continued to grow in the next days,is it possible that to be allergy to this cat litter,or it can't be related? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 8 months old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Melcho! If Melcho is that allergic and nothing else has changed it is possible. Though if most cats are allergic to the litter it is the dust causing asthma problems not necessarily skin. Be sure to check him well for fleas or a skin infection. I wouldn't let the skin get to far gone before having your Vet checked him out. Could you find the litter online if it is unavailable in the store? Could you call other pet stores to see if they carry it or ask the store to restock it? I wish Melcho the best!
