The best litter box is one that works for both your cat and for you—and that’s why so many cat parents choose LoftyLoo.

Traditional litter boxes sit low on the floor, require constant bending, and make daily care harder than it needs to be. LoftyLoo’s elevated, ergonomic design removes the strain, keeps the litter area cleaner, and gives your cat a naturally comfortable, secure place to go. It’s built for accessibility, stability, and ease of use, making it especially ideal for households managing chronic pain, mobility limitations, or simply wanting a smarter, cleaner setup.

When you combine cat comfort with human comfort, LoftyLoo becomes the clear choice for the “best” litter box—because it helps both pets and people feel their best every day.

Not at all. The best litter box isn’t defined by whether it’s automatic—it’s defined by whether it’s comfortable for your cat and easy for you to use.

Automatic litter boxes can sound convenient, but they often create new problems: loud motors, complicated parts, frequent malfunctions, pricey cat litter refills and replacement parts, and designs that are still low to the ground and hard to access.

What actually makes a litter box “the best” is simple:

• Your cat feels safe, comfortable, and elevated.
  
• You can maintain it without bending, straining, or struggling.
  
• It keeps your home cleaner and fits your lifestyle.
  

That’s why LoftyLoo stands out. It focuses on what truly matters—accessibility, comfort, stability, and cleanliness—without the noise, hassle, or expense of moving parts. The right litter box doesn’t need to be automatic; it just needs to make life easier for both you and your cat. And that’s exactly what LoftyLoo does.

Yes—raised litter boxes absolutely work, and in many cases, they work better than traditional floor-level boxes.

Elevation creates a more natural, secure experience for cats, who instinctively feel safer when they’re not crouched on the ground. It also helps reduce litter scatter, improves visibility for cleaning, and keeps the area tidier.

For owners, a raised litter box is a game-changer. Elevation means less bending, less strain, and a far more accessible daily routine—especially for anyone dealing with chronic pain, back issues, mobility limitations, or simply wanting a cleaner, more ergonomic setup.

LoftyLoo takes this idea even further by combining elevation with stability, comfort, and modern design. So yes, raised litter boxes don’t just work—they make cat care easier, safer, and more comfortable for both you and your cat.

The best litter box size depends on your cat’s age, mobility, and comfort level—but the goal is always the same: give your cat enough room to enter, turn around, and dig without feeling cramped. Larger cats, senior cats, and cats with mobility challenges often benefit from a more spacious box, while kittens or smaller breeds may feel more secure with a slightly cozier setup.

With LoftyLoo, sizing is simple. Because the platform elevates your existing litter box, you’re able to choose the size that works best for your cat without sacrificing comfort, accessibility, or stability. If you’re unsure which size box to place on your LoftyLoo, we’ve made it easy—visit our Litter Boxes We Recommend page for our top picks, ideal dimensions, and options that fit perfectly on the LoftyLoo platform.
This guide takes out all the guesswork so you can choose the right size with confidence.

An elevated litter box offers benefits that traditional floor-level boxes simply can’t.

Cats naturally prefer height—it feels safer, more comfortable, and more aligned with their instincts. For owners, elevation means less bending, less strain, and a dramatically more accessible daily cat care routine.

Raised setups also improve cleanliness by reducing litter scatter and giving you a clearer view when it’s time to scoop. LoftyLoo® takes all of these advantages and combines them into one modern, stable, ergonomic solution that makes life easier for both cats and the people who care for them.

Most cats adjust to an elevated litter box within a day or two—often immediately. Cats are naturally curious and drawn to raised surfaces, which makes the transition smooth for the majority of households.

For cats who need a little extra time, simply placing the LoftyLoo in the same location as the old box and allowing them to explore at their pace works beautifully. A familiar litter scent, a gentle introduction, and clear visibility help your cat feel secure, confident, and right at home on their new elevated platform.

Yes! Raised litter boxes can be incredibly safe and supportive for senior cats or cats with mobility challenges, as long as the height is appropriate.

Many older or stiff-jointed cats prefer LoftyLoo because getting into a raised litter box is easier and requires less effort than crouching and stepping down into a low, traditional, floor-level litter box.

As long as your cat is able to hop up roughly 18 inches to reach the LoftyLoo perch and comfortably step into the litter pan—or can easily access it using compatible pet stairs or a ramp—the LoftyLoo remains a safe, accessible, and helpful solution.

LoftyLoo was specifically created with accessibility in mind, offering a stable, gentle elevation that still allows easy entry and exit.

With its secure platform design, LoftyLoo gives senior cats the confidence and comfort they need to use the litter box without stress.

Absolutely. Elevation helps deter many dogs from accessing the cat litter box because it removes the easy, ground-level reach they’re used to with traditional, floor-level litter boxes.

With LoftyLoo, the raised platform creates a natural barrier that keeps curious pups away from litter mess and dangerous “snacks,” protecting both your dog and your cat.

This is one of the reasons many multi-pet households choose LoftyLoo—it offers cleaner, safer boundaries that give cats their own secure, elevated bathroom space.

Keep your dog out of the cat litter box with LoftyLoo!

Yes. One of the biggest benefits of a raised litter box is the relief it provides for cat parents dealing with back pain, chronic pain, arthritis, pregnancy, post-surgery recovery, or mobility limitations when cleaning your cat's litter box.

Instead of bending all the way to the floor to scoop, clean, or refill, LoftyLoo lifts the litter box to a more comfortable, accessible height. This simple change can transform your daily routine, making pet care easier, safer, and far less physically demanding.

For a healthy, happy cat, the litter box should be scooped daily and fully refreshed with clean litter regularly. Traditional floor-level boxes can make this routine uncomfortable, especially if bending is difficult.

With LoftyLoo, cleaning becomes significantly easier because the elevated platform lifts the box to a comfortable knee-to-thigh height, reducing strain and making quick upkeep effortless. As for replacing the litter box itself, many experts recommend swapping it out every 6–12 months if it’s plastic, or sooner if you notice scratches that trap odor. Stainless steel options last much longer.

A clean, odor-free setup encourages consistent use—and LoftyLoo makes that routine far more manageable.

The ideal litter box location is quiet, accessible, and feels safe to your cat. Avoid high-traffic areas or noisy spaces like laundry rooms where sudden sounds may startle them. Instead, choose a spot that’s easy for your cat to reach and easy for you to maintain.

With LoftyLoo, placement becomes even more flexible—the elevated design keeps the area cleaner and reduces odor spread, making it easier to integrate into living rooms, bedrooms, or accessible spaces without sacrificing aesthetics.

Just make sure the platform sits on a stable, level surface so your cat feels secure stepping on and off.

The best litter box material is one that’s durable, easy to clean, and safe for your cat. High-quality plastic is the most common because it’s lightweight, affordable, and widely available—but not all plastics are created equal. Look for smooth, non-porous materials that resist scratching and won’t trap odors. Stainless steel has also become popular thanks to its odor-resistant and long-lasting properties.

The good news is that LoftyLoo® works with either option. Since LoftyLoo elevates your existing litter box, you’re free to choose the material that best fits your cat’s preferences and your cleaning routine. For guidance, our Litter Boxes We Recommend page highlights top-rated options that pair perfectly with the LoftyLoo platform.
