A process for preparing a catalyst is disclosed. The process generally comprises the steps of: (a) preparing a slurry comprising clay, zeolite, a sodium-free silica source, quasi-crystalline boehmite, and micro-crystalline boehmite, provided that the slurry does not comprise peptized quasi-crystalline boehmite; (b) adding a monovalent acid to the slurry; (c) adjusting the pH of the slurry to a value above about 3, and (d) shaping the slurry to form particles. This process results in attrition resistant catalysts with a good accessibility.
