Van Ness Translucent Enclosed Cat Litter Pan

I bought 3 of these to replace all my cats' litterboxes when we move. I was a little concerned because of all the reviews I have read here about the product arriving badly damaged and latches being broken, but mine arrived well-packed and intact. Chewy has definitely upped their shipping game. I WILL say that the latches themselves can be a little tricky to line up, and if someone were to try to force them I could see how they might break, but I got the feel for the sweet spot pretty quickly. For the price, they really can't be beat, and I LOVE the opaque lids! They are see-through enough that the cats can see out all around them (this can be a big deal in a multi-cat household), and they also I bought 3 of these to replace all my cats' litterboxes when we move.

On my end I like that I don't have to take the lid off to see if I need to clean it, but it's not so completely clear that I feel like I'm looking into a litterbox all the time. … more

I brought 2 of the enclosed cat litter pan, one blue and one translucent and I am not sure whether this problem has to do with Chewy or Van Ness, but both came with untrimmed edges on the locks. At first, I thought it would be fine but nooooo, when I try to put the top and bottom parts together, IT JUST WOULD NOT SNAP ON!!! For the regular blue litter box, I did some DIY and sand the edges down and it worked. However, when it comes to the expensive translucent litter box, my DIY fix only saves 1/2 of the snap on and they are on the same side... So now I can not carry the litter box around. It is not worth $30 for its quality.

The litter box is great. It's sturdy and perfect for smaller spaces, as far as size. My cats hates the door, so we don't use that feature, but the hood component is great. My cat loves to throw litter out of the box and it saves me from having to sweep up as much litter.

The price was outstanding! 1/2 of what the usual price for a covered box/pan. The first 2 that came in were cracked in different places (either in the cover or the pan. Or some of the latches were broken). They were not usable. I was disappointed. I was REALLY needing a covered litter box/pan. One of my kitties is an energetic digger & used to send litter everywhere! I used to use a high-sided litter box but he would send the litter a flyin'. That's where the idea of getting a covered box was born. Regardless, Chewy made it right! They sent replacement boxes right away!! Their Customer Service is awesome!! After seeing all of the cautions of moving a filled box, I'm very careful with them The price was outstanding! 1/2 of what the usual price for a covered box/pan.

It's time to change out the litter in the boxes in a few days so hopefully they can handle that weight w/o cracking! If not, I'll have to call Customer Service again. That's why I gave this box 4 stars instead of 5. I do love the fact that I can see when 1 of the kitties is taking care of business in there. Helps me keep tabs on where they are. If they can't handle the strain of changing of the litter, I'll have to look for another covered box to purchase. … more

I always look for great deals at chewy, but unfortunately, even though these were really discounted, they are not very durable. They are smaller than I thought, and could not handle the shipping without breaking. Chewy has such great customer service, they sent me a replacement litter box the next day. Probably great for Kittens, if they can climb into it OK.

The first Van Ness litter box I bought was a jumbo because it was on sale. Turns out my cat is a midget compared to that size. So when this one came along on sale, I bought it. Usually cats do not like having their boxes covered because they can’t see their surroundings (don’t want to be trapped by a predator) so I thought the translucent would be nice so he could see better. This one is in my living room: I have left the door off, used the filters on top, and always mix a little bit of baking soda in the litter and I can’t smell a thing 90% of the time. I don’t recommend trying to use a liner for it since a 13gallon trash bag won’t even fit how you need it to.

However, when you need to empty the box just slide it inside of the 13gal trash bag and slowly dump it out and it works great! (Also when I first ordered this I noticed the hood was cracked sharply and the broken pieces were sharp -probably due to the freezing cold weather during transportation- and when I told chewy they immediately sent me a new one for free and I am very thankful for their customer service!) … more

A see through litter box. Pretty basic, but decent size & latches good. My cat isn't a fan of the door because he's not is too it but it pops off & on.

part of the plastic on one of the snaps to secure the top to the bottom was pretty cracked when it arrived. Considering this, I would not use the handle to lift it. The crack was able to be reinforced with clear tape. Considering that it's not super durable, it will stay a backup litter box for an area of the house the kitty doesn't frequent much. On the plus side, the carbon filter and the flap door are a nice touch, and it is affordable.

I get my first kitten this week and was so excited to buy this litter box and it comes WITHOUT TWO of the latches!!!!! I am SO disappointed and hoping I will be sent latches to replace the two I did not get.

I bought this for my cat because he needed a new a new one. Its a little smaller than what he had but it's perfect size for 1 cat. It's less messy since he dont get it on the floor now. I recommend this product. Shipping was really fast. Overall great buy for my cat. Hes happy and I am happy.
