FCC catalyst prepared by a process involving more than one silica material

An FCC catalyst made from process comprising:

• a. Adding clay, boehmite, and a first sodium stabilized colloidal silica to form a slurry;
• b. Digesting the slurry with a monoprotic acid to a pH of less than 4;
• c. Adding one or more zeolites to the slurry;
• d. Adding a second silica that is either an ammonia stabilized or sodium stabilized colloidal silica, wherein the sodium content is less than the first sodium stabilized colloidal silica, at any time during or after steps (a)— (c) but before step (e);
• e. Mixing the slurry and then destabilizing the slurry by raising the pH to above 4.0;
• f. Shaping and collecting the resulting FCC Catalyst
• wherein the catalyst comprises about 5 to about 60 wt % one or more zeolites, about 10 to about 45 wt % quasicrystalline boehmite, about 0 to about 35 wt % microcrystalline boehmite, greater than 0 to about 15 wt % of the first silica, greater than 0 to about 30 wt % of the second silica, and the balance clay.
