The cleanest way
to live with cats.
An open-top, self-cleaning litter box that clears the tray after every visit — no app, no Wi-Fi, no subscription. Just plug it in.
Say hello to
SmartCat S12
An open-top litter box that cleans itself after every visit. A weight-sensing floor and six pairs of infrared sensors watch the entry, so the chamber only turns when your cat has stepped away. Waste drops into a sealed 8.5 L drawer below — and the litter bed levels itself on the way back.
There is no app to install, no network to join and nothing to subscribe to. You plug it in, and it works.

Engineered safety
Four independent layers, all watching at once.
Sensors, weight, a mechanical limit and an always-on interrupt. Any one of them halts the cycle on its own — they do not depend on each other to work.

Full-coverage detection
Six pairs of infrared sensors read the entry from multiple angles.
- 02
Stops on contact
A weight-sensing floor and a touch pedal halt the cycle instantly.
- 03
Limited movement
A half-gear mechanism physically prevents a full rotation.
- 04
Always-on interrupt
Any trigger stops all motor activity immediately.
Designed for every cat
Kittens to Maine Coons.
An open top and a 12.4-inch entrance mean no climbing, no crouching and no enclosed space to talk your cat into.

This is the first automated cat litter box I have ever purchased. I was always dreading buying all the extras you have to buy to use them. This box absolutely changed my life. I worried constantly about the stinky cat litter — no more of that! I bought my mom one I loved it so much.

We've bought four of these for our 8 cats and they work amazingly. I was very skeptical at first — automatic litter boxes just seemed failure-prone — but I was pleasantly surprised. I've had these all for several months with no issues.

After the cat does his business it automatically cleans once he leaves the box. It even levels the cat litter so it's perfect for next time. Works quickly and quietly, and includes bags to help with smell and cleaning. Feels solid and is a good size for my full grown cat.

I have a Maine Coon that's 16 lbs and he fits in there, and it only took 2 days for him to transition. It's super quiet and has made such a difference in smell — like I don't have a cat. It's much cheaper than a lot of auto litter boxes that do the same thing.

I have 2 cats, both American Shorthairs about 1 year old. They easily go 5–6 times a day so a manual scoop was NOT going to work with my work schedule — that was scooping twice a day minimum, and it attracted little flies. Since I've had this: no smell, no bugs, clean litter.

I previously returned one of the more expensive enclosed ones because it kept erroring. This is simple to set up and easy to operate. The replacement bags are inexpensive and easy to change. We have two cats that use the box constantly and we only need to change the bag every 6 days. I'd recommend this one over the more expensive ones with the app.

Common questions
From scoopers, mostly.
Still unsure about something? Our team answers within one business day.
Can I use regular cat litter?
The S12 works best with clumping litter made from mineral or bentonite clay. Avoid long-strip tofu litter and crystal litter — they are not compatible with the cleaning mechanism.
Will the chamber turn while my cat is inside?
No. Infrared sensors, a weight-sensing floor and a touch-activated pedal all pause the cycle when your cat approaches or enters. The cycle only resumes once your cat has left.
Can multiple cats use the S12?
Yes. The open, spacious design suits multi-cat homes, and the unit cleans after every visit so the bed is fresh for the next cat. We recommend up to four cats per unit.
How often should I empty the waste container?
Empty the waste container every five to seven days. For best hygiene, give the container a proper clean roughly every 15 days to prevent odours building up.
What warranty comes with the SmartCat S12?
The S12 comes with a 12-month warranty. If your unit malfunctions under normal use, we'll repair or replace it free of charge. Consumables and accessories are not covered by the warranty.
Skip the scooping. For good.
