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.

While some people may not mind getting up close and personal with their cat’s litter box, it’s something that I definitely appreciate not having to worry about. And the time and hassle I save make the slightly higher cost worth every penny for me!

We have a gray cat named Cosmo. He showed up in our driveway one day a couple summers ago when he was still a kitten. He stuck around so our oldest daughter kept him. She got married the following spring, she couldn’t have pets at that place so we’re keeping him. I was never much of a cat person but he’s grown on me. :)
My Cream is everything good! Including that she does her business outside. I would love to win this for my sister who has two cats that would use this.
I have 2 precious cats a mom Ali and her son Froley. They can always be found snuggling each other or anyone else in the house that sits down. I would love to try this litter box because at the moment I have to keep it in my office so the fact that it’s self cleaning would do wonders for keeping the smell down in there.
I have two rescues, Daisy and Milo. Daisy was 8 when I adopted her, as her original owners decided they didn’t want her any more. They’d had her from when she was a kitten, so that kind of thinking was just beyond me, but I was happy to give her a loving forever home. Milo I adopted from my local shelter as a companion for Daisy. She tolerates him, haha.
I have three lovely male cats! The oldest is Kit-Kat from the humane society – a 5 year old who is totally in love with only me. The middle kitty is Mars, who we took in for a family who couldn’t keep him. He has the loudest purr and the biggest appetite. Mars demands a spotless litter box or else he’ll go ‘near it’. He would LOVE this litter box! Our youngest is Pumpkin who we adopted from the humane society over Halloween weekend 2016. He is the biggest love and friends with everyone.
My kitty Emma has chewed through my keyboard and mouse cords half a dozen times…but I still love her cause she will always give me cuddles when I need it.
I have 2 special kitties, one is 5 years old,that I had since he was a wee kitty, and the other is 3 1/2 years old,that I recently gained after some circumstances. They are both sweet special kitties :)
I have 2; a mom and a daughter!
We have two kitties, Rascal, a black and white tabby. He will be 16 this year. And Mojo who is grey and white with peach markings. He will be 15. They are so very loved in our household. Spoiled rotten would be an understatement. LOL! Only the best for our boys. ☺
I have been looking at the self cleaning litter boxes for quite some time. We have two cats that were rescued as wee kittens, they are now 15 and 12 years of age! How time goes by so fast! I couldn’t imagine our home without them.
