LoftyLoo First-Ever ADA-Accessible Raised Litter Box Supporting Mobility-Challenged Pet Owners

LoftyLoo, the first-ever ADA-accessible Raised Litter Box, is making litter box maintenance safer and easier for those who need it most.

Created by a dynamic aunt-and-niece duo and made in America, LoftyLoo was designed to serve the needs of disabled, aging and mobility-challenged pet owners and engineered to be easier on a cat owner’s joints, eliminating the need to bend down to maintain the litter box. Owners can safely sit or stand while cleaning, making it a life-changer for individuals with limited mobility or those wanting to reduce strain on their back and knees. By alleviating physical strain, LoftyLoo allows cat owners to continue caring for their pets without compromising their health.

Empowering Seniors and People with Disabilities

For seniors—25 percent of whom live alone and rely on their pets for emotional support—LoftyLoo promotes independence and restores dignity, enabling them to care for their pets without help.

Consider Diane O’Connell, 93, a cat owner living independently in Kansas City, MO. Relying on a wheelchair and cane, O’Connell, like 20 percent of cat owners with disabilities or chronic pain, struggled to care for her cat’s litter box.

“Even when you’re old, you like to do things yourself. I haven’t been able to clean my cat’s litter box in years because I couldn’t bend over to the floor,” O’Connell said. “My daughters used to have to come over to do it for me. Thanks to the LoftyLoo, I can maintain the litter box myself now.”

LoftyLoo is designed for easy maneuverability, allowing pet owners to clean in and around the unit effortlessly. Featuring locking wheels and built-in storage to discreetly hide supplies and control odors, it keeps essentials within reach, offering a sleek, all-in-one litter station for pet owners.

A Safe and Open Space for Cats

Research shows that cats feel safer and more secure in elevated spaces. The raised design of LoftyLoo allows cats to observe their surroundings and avoid potential threats while helping prevent dogs, other animals and small children from accessing the litter box.

Dr. Alicia Ashley, DVM, notes that the elevated and spacious design improves cat health and behavior by providing more comfortable posturing and preventing accidents caused by traditional litter boxes.

“LoftyLoo accommodates a large, open litter box that allows cats to comfortably turn around, find their preferred spot and posture naturally,” said Ashley.

Veterinarian-Endorsed Design

Dr. James Peterson, an Olathe, KS veterinarian, strongly advocates for the use of elevated litter boxes like LoftyLoo . “Every cat owner should own a LoftyLoo. Cat litter boxes do not belong on the floor,” he said, reinforcing the product’s importance in improving cat care.

Dr. Brittney Kilgore, a Fayetteville, GA veterinarian, agrees, “LoftyLoo is a durable alternative to traditional litter boxes, not just for people but for cats. LoftyLoo provides cats with variety in their litter space. Cats naturally enjoy being up high, often seeking elevated spots out of curiosity and a sense of security.”
