After talking about it for quite some time, our little family recently decided to add another member to our family. One of the reasons we’d been excited to buy an acreage was the fact we’d finally have to room to add a pet to our family. And when we saw an adorable Bengal kitten available in our area, we couldn’t resist him!
Having a kitten in the house is a lot of fun, but if there’s one thing about cats that’s no fun at all, it’s cleaning a litter box. So, when PetSafe Canada gave me the chance to review its innovative ScoopFree litter box, I was delighted.
This litter box is designed to make dealing with cat waste as pleasant of an experience as it can possibly be. First, we put the disposable cardboard box in place under the litter box top. Then we added the included Blue Crystal Litter and plugged in the device.
Just like that, we were done dealing with kitty litter for the next month or so! The PetSafe ScoopFree Litter Box uses a motion-activated raking system to scoop litter into a back compartment and hide it away. When the compartment is full, the entire disposable cardboard box is replaced with a new one.
Our new kitten Hamlet was already litter-trained, so we were curious to see if he would take to the PetSafe ScoopFree quickly. His first night, we introduced him to the litter box a few times to get him used to its look and place in the house. By the next day, he had used it successfully.
One of my biggest worries about the system had been that the automatic rake might frighten Hamlet away from the box, but PetSafe was one step ahead of me. The litter box has sensors to detect when the box is being used. At those times, the rake will not activate.
After the box is empty, however, the litter box kicks into gear and sweeps cat waste into the compartment at the end of the box. When the compartment is full, the entire cardboard base, litter, cat poop and all, just get tossed in the trash.
Using a system that involved throwing away the entire litter box was new for me, but I really enjoyed how much cleaner it made the experience. Since I always have my hands on my baby, I want as little contact with cat waste as possible and the ScoopFree makes that easy.
Of course, as one would suspect, the cost of the ScoopFree litter box system is a little higher than a traditional litter box. The trays and litter for the system come in a package that retails for about $25. The box lasts approximately a month, depending on the cat. Personally, I find that the time I save dealing with cat poop makes the system worth the extra cost.

Well I have 6 rescues 3 from the humane society and 3 that were found on the streets. Slash hates clay litter. I bet she would love this
I have 2 cats Ollie and Sunny they are both rescue cats!
I have 3 cats, love them all so much. All 3 of the boys are seniors, and so am I. This litter sounds fantastic, rather than changing litters and scooping all the time. It would be so much easier. Fingers crossed, it is a wonderful giveaway! Thankyou…
I have a 5 year old cat that was a rescue 3 years ago. Moni brings a smile to my face every time I see her. She spends most of her time sitting with me and following me everywhere.
My granddaughter just adopted a new kitty called Leo who is so beautiful and proud.
My special kitty is named Coop.. He is always getting into trouble and I love how he interacts with us.. He is so playful.
My rescue kitty Sami is 17 years old and still plays like a kitten! She is so loving and cuddly, we are beyond lucky to have her in our lives.
My special kitty is called Titter. When I found her she was so tiny and had been abandoned. I fed her with a dropper and she is now 13 years old.
my cat we call him Tom, for obvious reasons lol he likes to roam around outside but always found it odd that he always came into his litter box to do his business seems he didn’t like doing it outs=doors but he is quiet shy
We have two cats, who I rescued as 4 week old kittens. We have a very close bond and they are about 7 years old now! This would be great to have for them. Thanks!
