A 17.13 by 13.19 by 5 inch stainless steel litter pan built around one idea: plastic pans develop micro-scratches from claws and scooping, and those scratches trap urine and odor permanently no matter how well you wash them. Stainless does not scratch the same way, resists corrosion, and wipes down to a genuinely clean surface. The geometry splits the difference on a common problem, 5 inch sides high enough to contain scatter and stop over-the-edge spraying, but a low entry point so kittens, senior cats, and cats recovering from surgery can walk in rather than climb. It is an open pan with no hood, which some cats strongly prefer. It also works for rabbits and ferrets. Best fit: apartments, multi-cat homes tired of replacing plastic pans, and older cats with mobility issues.

Frequently asked questions
Is it big enough for a full-grown cat?
At 17.13 by 13.19 inches it suits most adult cats, kittens, and seniors. For a very large breed like a Maine Coon, measure your current box first.
Will the metal make noise when my cat digs?
Yes, stainless is louder than plastic when claws hit it. Most cats adjust within a few days, but a nervous cat may need a transition period.
Does it come with a lid or hood?
No. It is an open-top pan with no hood, which many cats actually prefer for visibility.
Can I use it for a rabbit or ferret?
Yes. The low entry and contained sides work for rabbits, ferrets, and other small pets, not just cats.
Will litter still get tracked everywhere?
The 5 inch sides cut scatter significantly compared to a low-sided pan, but no open box eliminates tracking. A mat outside it still helps.
