LoftyLoo
FAQS

LoftyLoo does not come with a litter pan — and that’s by design. This allows you to choose the option that works best for your cat’s size, habits, and preferences.

We recommend the Petmate Jumbo Open Cat Litter Box, which fits LoftyLoo well, offers high sides, and helps keep mess contained. You can also visit our Recommended Litter Box page to see a curated list of pans that customers successfully use with LoftyLoo.

LoftyLoo fits most standard litter pans, from small to jumbo sizes. Its open design and recessed top accommodate a wide range of pan sizes, including larger pans often used in multi-cat homes. For best fit and stability, choose a pan with a flat bottom that isn’t part of an enclosed or mechanical system.

The interior is designed to comfortably fit most standard-size litter pans while maintaining a compact footprint that works well in a variety of home spaces.

The terms “raised” and “elevated” are often used interchangeably, but they can describe slightly different design goals. In general, both refer to lifting the litter box off the floor compared to traditional floor-level boxes.

A raised litter box typically focuses on keeping the litter area higher to reduce mess, improve organization, and better fit modern living spaces. An elevated litter box may also emphasize bringing the litter area to a more intentional height for easier daily use, depending on household needs.

What matters most is stability, ease of entry for cats, and how the design fits into everyday routines—not just the height itself. You can learn more on our Raised Litter Box page or explore our Elevated Litter Box page to see which approach best fits your home.

LoftyLoo weighs 52 pounds. It's solid USA-made construction with built-in locking wheels.

LoftyLoo provides both stability and mobility, making it sturdy enough for everyday use while still making it easy to reposition if needed.

LoftyLoo works seamlessly with pet stairs or ramps, making it accessible for cats who need a little extra help reaching elevated spaces.

You can also place a cat tree next to it for added style and function. Cats love the extra climbing option.

LoftyLoo securely recesses the litter pan into a rimmed top that fits snugly over the base. This thoughtful design helps contain litter better than traditional floor-level pans by preventing scatter and keeping messes inside the cabinet — not on your floor.

LoftyLoo elevates and recesses the litter pan, creating a protected and contained zone aligned with cats' natural preference for higher places.

LoftyLoo has helped with litter box battles, reduces anxiety, and helps to prevent accidents outside the litter box.

LoftyLoo makes daily litter care easier to manage by lifting the litter pan off the floor and bringing it to a more comfortable working height.

This improves visibility and reach during scooping, reduces awkward bending or floor-level movements, and keeps the litter area more contained. The open design also makes routine cleaning faster and easier to maintain as part of everyday home care.

LoftyLoo helps keep the litter area out of reach by elevating it off the floor.

Raising the litter box reduces access from floor-level traffic, which can be especially helpful in busy homes with pets or young children. Elevation creates a clearer boundary around the litter area while still allowing comfortable access for cats.

If keeping dogs out of the litter is a concern, you can learn more on our Dog-Proof Cat Litter Box page.

LoftyLoo takes a simpler, non-robotic approach to litter care. Unlike automated litter boxes that rely on motors, sensors, and electronics, LoftyLoo uses an open, elevated design that works with a cat’s natural behavior. There are no moving parts, no noise, and no ongoing mechanical maintenance.

This design choice makes LoftyLoo quieter, easier to clean, and more reliable for everyday use, while still keeping the litter area elevated, contained, and integrated into the home.

LoftyLoo is a purpose-built solution, not just another fancy box. Key benefits include:

• Behavior-driven design that respects cat instincts
• Mobility-friendly for disabled, aging or injured owners
• Dog-and kid-resistant
• Stress-reducing for anxious cats
• Stylish and functional no need to hide it!
• Veterinarian-endorsed and behaviorist-approved

Absolutely! Unlike automatic or robotic litter boxes that require limited litter options, special refills, costly maintenance, or exclusive, expensive parts, LoftyLoo works with the litter you already use.

LoftyLoo supports clumping, crystal, and natural litters — so you can choose what your cat prefers and what works best for your household.

Most cats will use a raised litter box, especially when the design is open and stable. Cats are naturally curious and often comfortable with elevated spaces. LoftyLoo’s open layout provides clear visibility and easy entry, which helps many cats transition quickly.

As with any litter box change, allowing your cat time to adjust and keeping the litter type consistent can help support a smooth transition.

Cats are smart — they know what to do!

The elevated design naturally taps into their curiosity, so most cats explore and start using LoftyLoo right away. No training required. Just insert your litter pan. Place it where it works best for you, and let your cat take the lead.

Pro tips to make it even smoother:
Keep the same litter (used litter is best — familiar smells help!)

Chances are, they’ll be hopping up before it’s even fully assembled!

For cats needing a little extra support, place LoftyLoo near a cat tree, cat condo, pet stairs or ramp.

Stay patient and use positive reinforcement.

Most of the time, it’s the owners who feel stressed, not the cats.

Trust that your cat knows what to do. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us; we are here to help.

Most cats adapt immediately or within a few days.

For the LoftyLoo cabinet, regular spot cleaning with a damp, gentle cloth and occasional full wipe-downs are recommended.

Pro Tip: For quick and easy clean-up, keep a small handheld vacuum in LoftyLoo’s storage area. It’s right where you need it to swiftly tackle any stray litter and keep the space tidy!

As with all litter pan types, experts recommend scooping daily and doing a full clean-out regularly.

This helps maintain hygiene, controls odor, and keeps your cat comfortable. LoftyLoo makes that routine easier by raising the litter box to a comfortable height, so cleaning takes less effort and strain.

A raised litter box can make routine cleaning easier by bringing the litter pan off the floor and into a more comfortable working height. LoftyLoo keeps the pan recessed into the top to help contain mess, and the unit sits on locking wheels so it can be moved easily for deeper cleaning when needed.

Most veterinarians suggest raised or elevated litter box setups depending on a cat’s comfort, mobility, and environment. Open, stable designs that allow easy entry and visibility are often preferred over enclosed or restrictive boxes.

As with any litter box choice, a veterinarian’s recommendation may vary based on the individual cat’s needs and habits.

Cats naturally seek height for safety and control. LoftyLoo caters to this instinct, making them feel secure and less exposed.

Yes. Elevation provides an alternative litter zone that can reduce conflict, especially for anxious or submissive cats.

Yes. An elevated, enclosed space gives your cat privacy and a sense of control key to reducing stress-related litter box issues.

Raised litter boxes often help with odor management rather than making smells worse. Elevating the litter area can improve airflow and make it easier to see and scoop waste regularly.

Odor control still depends on consistent cleaning and the type of litter used, but many people find a raised setup easier to maintain than a floor-level box.

A raised litter box doesn’t necessarily take up more space than a traditional one. While it uses vertical height instead of sitting on the floor, the overall footprint is often similar to standard litter box setups.

By lifting the litter area off the ground, a raised design can actually help keep floors clearer and the space more organized—an advantage in apartments or smaller homes where floor space matters most.

First, consult your vet. Then check the litter type, cleanliness, location, and box style. Elevated boxes like LoftyLoo can help many hesitant cats.

Raised litter boxes can work well in apartments or small spaces by using vertical space instead of spreading clutter across the floor. Elevating the litter area helps keep floors clearer and the space more organized, which can be especially helpful in compact homes.

A furniture-style raised litter box like LoftyLoo is designed to blend into living areas while keeping the litter contained and out of the way.

A raised litter box can help with odor control by improving airflow and making daily scooping easier. Keeping the litter area off the floor allows air to circulate more freely, while better visibility encourages more consistent cleaning.

When paired with regular maintenance and your preferred litter, a raised setup can help maintain a fresher-smelling litter area.

Follow the rule: one box per cat, plus one extra. For two cats, have three boxes total. If you have multiple litter pans, you will need multiple LoftyLoo's. Cats love options, too, so you can see which works best for you both.

LoftyLoo helps keep dogs out by elevating the litter area 27 inches off the floor and using a recessed litter pan. This combination makes it difficult for most dogs to reach or understand how to access the litter, without relying on gates, covers, or barriers. Many dog owners find that even larger dogs lose interest because reaching inside isn’t easy or rewarding.

By keeping the litter area elevated and contained, LoftyLoo helps protect your cat’s space while keeping the surrounding area cleaner. For more details, visit our Dog-Proof Cat Litter Box page.

LoftyLoo helps keep the litter area out of reach of toddlers by elevating it off the floor. Raising the litter box removes floor-level access, which makes it harder for curious hands to reach the litter area during everyday play.

While no litter setup is completely child-proof, elevation adds an extra layer of separation in busy homes and helps support a cleaner, more organized space. For more details, visit our Baby-Proof Cat Litter Box page.

LoftyLoo is sturdy and stable, weighing 52 lbs and resting on locking wheels for added security. It has been weight tested for both everyday cat use and storage. The solid base provides a firm grip on most flooring surfaces, ensuring it stays safely in place.

Anchoring LoftyLoo isn’t necessary, but it is possible if you choose to do so. Please note: any damage caused by modifications or anchoring will void the warranty.

It’s not recommended to place a litter pan on an elevated surface like an end table. Most household furniture isn’t designed to support the weight, movement, or mess of a litter box, which can lead to instability, tipping, or spills.

LoftyLoo is purpose-built as an elevated litter box with a stable, furniture-grade structure and a recessed litter pan designed to keep litter contained and the setup secure, making it a safer and more reliable alternative to improvised elevation.

LoftyLoo was created to make everyday cat care safer, easier, and more dignified for the people who love their cats. Traditional litter boxes are often placed on the floor, making daily cleaning uncomfortable, messy, and hard to manage—especially as our needs change over time.

LoftyLoo was designed as an elevated, furniture-style litter box that supports natural cat behavior while reducing strain, improving cleanliness, and fitting more thoughtfully into real homes.
