Stainless steel litter pan
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A stainless steel litter pan gives a cat a smooth, metal surface that the listings describe as non-stick, odor-resistant and easy to rinse. Choosing one comes down to four things: the inside size the cat needs to turn around, the wall height that holds litter in, the entry height for an older or small cat, and whether you want an enclosure or an open top. This guide compares eight stainless steel litter pans from the product data available here. Each entry uses only the sizes, materials and features that the listing states.
Quick answer
- Measure your cat before you compare sizes. The listings give length, width and height, and an XL pan in this set measures 23.62 inches long.
- Check the wall height if your cat digs or sprays. Wall heights in this roundup range from about 5 inches to 13.7 inches.
- Pick a low entry for a senior, injured or very young cat. Several listings describe a low front entry, such as the Qiuma and Tevila pans.
- Choose an open top for easy scooping and an enclosure for more privacy and less tracking. The listings describe both designs.
How to choose a stainless steel litter pan
The main decision is the size of the pan relative to the cat. A pan should be long enough for the cat to turn around and dig without stepping over the wall. Large cats and multi-cat homes need a larger pan, and the listings in this group run from small kitten-sized pans to XL pans of about 23 inches. Make sure the pan fits the space you have, and measure the spot before you order, because the listed sizes vary across the group.
Next, think about entry and wall height. A high wall keeps litter in the box, but it can be hard for an older or injured cat to step over. A low entry gives easy access, and the listings for the lower pans describe it as an easy way in. Several listings in this set describe both, with a low front entry and raised sides or back. Pick the balance that matches your cat and your floor.
Stainless steel, odor and cleaning
Most of the pans here are described as stainless steel with a smooth, non-stick surface. The listings say the metal resists stains and odors better than plastic, and that litter clumps lift out more easily. A few listings describe their material as ABS with a stainless steel pan, or as metal without naming the grade. Read the material line in the specifications before you buy, especially if you want a full stainless steel build. The listings do not state a grade of stainless steel, so the listing does not state it.
Cleaning is simple with any of these pans. Most listings say to rinse or wipe the surface, and a few list a scoop or mat in the package. Keep the pan on a non-slip surface, because a pan that slides can spill litter as the cat enters and leaves.

1. WoofiGo Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box, XL High Sided Open Top
The WoofiGo pan is an XL open-top design with a listed product size of 23.62 by 15.75 by 12.01 inches. The bullets describe a stainless steel pan that buckles into an ABS enclosure, and a high wall of 5.98 inches. The specifications list the item at 12.01 inches high, so the height figure to check depends on whether you count the enclosure. The package includes a scoop, the enclosure and the stainless steel pan. The bullets say the pan suits cats of all sizes, with extra room for big cats.
2. Tevila Stainless Steel Litter Box, Small Metal Pan
The Tevila pan measures 17.13 by 13.19 by 5 inches and has 5-inch raised sides. The listing describes a low entry that lets a cat walk in without jumping, which suits kittens, kitty and senior cats.

3. Qiuma Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box with Low Entry
The Qiuma pan has a 3.15-inch low front entry and raised sides and back to block litter scatter. The listing gives a size of 17.5 by 13.6 by 5.9 inches, and it says the line comes in several sizes. It is described as odor-resistant stainless steel that the listing says outperforms plastic. The surface is non-stick, and the listing says litter and stains do not stick to it. The listing gives a warranty of 100 days. It is a good fit for a senior or injured cat that needs easy entry.
4. KISENG Extra Large Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box with High Sides Lid
The KISENG XL pan measures 22.83 by 14.96 by 10.2 inches and has a listed capacity of 36 liters. The bullets describe an inward-sloping design that redirects litter back into the pan and a smooth non-stick surface. The listing says the box has an open top, which improves airflow and visibility, and that it includes a matching scoop and four anti-slip pads. The specifications list the material as ABS and stainless steel, and the item weighs 4.4 pounds.
5. PTFFF Stainless Steel Litter Box with 13.7 Inch High Sides
The PTFFF pan is a full stainless steel XL box with 13.7-inch high sides and a curved low entry. The bullets give an inside size of 20 by 12.2 by 13.7 inches, and the specifications list an outer size of 22.8 by 14.9 by 13.7 inches. The box is described as open top, with rubber-coated handles on both sides for lifting and moving. The item weighs 6.6 pounds. The listing aims the design at big cats and multi-cat households.
6. Tondid Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box, Medium High Sided
The Tondid pan measures 17.7 by 13.8 by 6 inches and is described for medium-sized cats and small kittens. Its 6-inch walls are listed as a way to block litter tracking and urine overspray. The bullets describe a sturdy stainless steel build with a non-stick surface and rounded edges, and they describe the open top as easy to access. The listing also mentions use as a pet toilet or bathing tub, which is a use for the pan that the listing describes but this guide does not recommend.
7. KISENG Sturdy Stainless Steel Cat Litter Pan
The KISENG sturdy pan measures 17.32 by 13.38 by 5.11 inches and has high walls of 5.11 inches that the listing says help with splash-proof design. The bullets describe a non-slip base and safe rolled edges. The listing says the surface is non-stick and that litter clumps lift out easily. It is listed as an ideal size for kittens and small pets, and it weighs 1.6 pounds. It includes one litter pan.
8. Cictiv Stainless Steel Litter Box with Lid, Extra Large Enclosed
The Cictiv box is an enclosed XL pan with a flip-top lid and a convertible front-entry, top-exit design. The specifications list an outer size of 23.54 by 15.93 by 15.91 inches and a weight of 9.4 pounds. The bullets describe a stainless steel build that the listing says does not absorb odors or retain stains, and an extra-large litter mat measuring 23.6 by 15.7 inches. The package includes a scoop and the mat. It is the heaviest and tallest of the group.
Review: WoofiGo Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box, XL
The WoofiGo pan is the clearest choice in this group for a large cat that needs room to turn and dig, because its listed size of 23.62 by 15.75 inches is among the largest in the set. The bullets describe a stainless steel pan that sits in an ABS enclosure, which gives the box a walled look and a separate lid area. The listing says the enclosure and pan connect with a buckle, and it describes the connection as stable, which helps when the cat steps in and out.
The listing has one detail to read closely. The bullets describe a high-sided enclosure of 5.98 inches, while the specifications give an overall height of 12.01 inches. These are not the same figure. Measure the space above your cat’s litter and check whether you need the taller count for clearance. The listing says the pan is designed to reduce mess and to keep odor down, but it does not give a measured odor result, so the listing does not state one.
The package includes a litter scoop, the ABS enclosure and the stainless steel pan. The specifications give an item weight of 16 ounces, and the listing does not describe a non-slip base, so place it on a floor that will not slide. The listing says the design suits cats of all sizes and is roomy enough for a big cat. If your cat is an older or low-mobility cat, one of the low-entry pans in this group, such as the Qiuma pan, may be easier to step into.
Two close alternatives from the same set are the KISENG XL pan, which lists a 36-liter capacity and an inward-sloping design, and the Cictiv enclosed box, which adds a lid and front-entry access. Both are larger than the WoofiGo pan and weigh more, so they suit a household with the room and the lifting ability for a heavier box.

Mistakes to avoid
- Buying by name alone. Some listings say stainless steel in the title and list ABS or plain metal in the specifications, so read both.
- Choosing a shallow pan for a digger. A low wall gives easy entry but can let litter spill, so pick the wall height that matches your cat.
- Ignoring the box weight. The XL enclosed box weighs 9.4 pounds, so plan how you will lift and clean it.
- Forgetting the floor. A pan that slides can spill litter, so use a non-slip base or mat.
- Skipping the measurement. Check the space and the cat’s length before you choose a large pan.
FAQ
Is a stainless steel litter pan better than plastic?
The listings say stainless steel resists stains and odors better than plastic, and that it is non-stick and easy to wipe. The listings do not give a measured comparison, so the listing does not state how much better the pan performs.
What size litter pan does a large cat need?
Look for an XL pan with a length of about 22 to 23 inches. The WoofiGo, KISENG, PTFFF and Cictiv pans in this guide list sizes in that range. Measure your cat and the space before you buy.
Which pan is best for a senior cat?
A low-entry pan is the usual choice. The Qiuma and Tevila listings describe a low front entry, and the Tevila listing says it suits senior cats. Ask your vet if your cat has mobility problems.
Can I use a stainless steel pan with a covered enclosure?
Yes, if the enclosure fits your space. The Cictiv listing describes a convertible enclosed box with a lid, and the WoofiGo listing describes an ABS enclosure around a stainless steel pan.
How do I clean a stainless steel litter pan?
Most listings say to rinse or wipe the pan. Scoop waste daily, and wash the pan with water and mild soap on a regular schedule. Dry it fully before adding litter.
Do these pans include a scoop?
Some do. The WoofiGo, KISENG XL and Cictiv listings include a scoop, and the Cictiv listing also includes a litter mat. The Tevila and Tondid listings do not list a scoop in their specifications.
Bottom line
For most cats, choose a stainless steel litter pan that is at least 17 inches long and has a wall height that matches how your cat uses the box. If your cat is large, choose one of the XL pans with a listed length above 22 inches. For a senior or injured cat, pick the low-entry Qiuma or Tevila pan and check the entry height against your cat’s mobility.
