Van Ness Sifting Cat Litter Pan with Frame

I wish the covered ones weren't so expensive but settled on this one. All my rescues went to mark it as soon as I put the feline pine in it. I bought this to try it out with the feline pine since the urine breaks down the pellets to wet saw dust consistency it would be much easier to clean up with a sifting pan. I hope it is as easy as it looks like it should be.

We tried nonclumping pine litter and clumping clay litter. With the pine litter the pieces were just the right size to get stuck in the slots. Then with clumping clay litter the urine litter clumps just clogged up the sifting slots and making a huge mess even under the sifting pan. I still can’t get the slots clean, and I worked for an hour on it. We are now just using regular boxes with Dr Elsey’s unscented non-clumping crystal cat litter in a regular box. That’s worked the best so far.

I compared this to another sifting litterbox. I have big problems with the sifting openings getting clogged up with the pine sawdust and then its a big mess trying to get them cleaned out so I can sift the rest out. I would recommend choosing another similarly priced sifting litter box if you are planning on using pine litter.

I have 2 other sifting pans at home and this one is far less convenient. The holes are cut in such a way that litter clumps get packed in so you end up having to scrape a lot to push it through. Also, the side piece is hard to get off each time you sift and it has to come off the way it is designed. Last, it drops a lot of litter that is hiding in the pan after sifting. A C minus at best. Do not recommend.

Was hoping this would make a daily clean easier and more manageable but quickly realized it was more of a hassle and less effective than scooping and a high walled box.

This litter box has changed the game for me I have several of these and can clean them all in under two minutes time I love the van ness litter box how simple and easy they are to clean! The high sides makes it so much less mess my males don’t miss their spot………. I’m so thankful I bought these and I won’t ever switch and for the cheap price of $11 it’s a STEAL!!! I can not speak highly enough about the cat box! I have recommended this cat box to every person whom I know that has a cat! Told them to make the switch they will thank me!!

Love this item I’m disabled bad back and knees and this has made my life so much easier. It’s easy to use and sift. I would recommend this highly makes cleaning litter so easy and pain free. I will definitely be ordering another one.

Undoubtedly the worst litter box that I have ever owned in 25 years of owning cats. The clumping litter stuck in the liner, then litter all over the place changing the silly two boxes. I will try cleaning it one more time, if still as bad will throw it out and buy high side.

I have used the new pan for about a week now. We have 4 indoor girls and I clean the litter box 2x a day. limited space for multiple litter boxes. The girls seem to like it, nice and open, but I like the higher sides and the easy sifting. Also seem to waste less litter during sifting

This is a bigger sized sifting litter box than the arm & hammer one and at a better prize! I use pine pellets with it, super easy to clean. I just pull the sifting part on top of the normal bottom pans so that it’s at an angle, and move the litter around until the pine dust is all sifted. Sure some small pellets get stuck in the holes but they don’t go through so there’s no waste. My cat is 2 years old and 5-6 lbs, she’s on the smaller size, but I think a regular sized cat would fit fine.
