Three-legged Cat Finds Litter Box Success with ScoopFree

We recently received this story from a ScoopFree self-cleaning litter box customer, R. Elisheva via our Facebook page.  We feel so blessed to have wonderful cat-guardian customers, like R. Elisheva.  People who adopt felines that have medical problems, physical challenges or other issues are very special indeed!  We owe them a special thanks for adopting kitties that might otherwise be euthanized.

"Meet Monty. Monty was found as a three year old with a severely infected gunshot wound on his front left leg. His right front leg wasn't much better off; the Dr. doctor was able to save right leg. Lucky for Monty, to need both forelegs amputated meant euthanasia. We brought Monty home about 2 weeks after his surgery, a stumbling goof of a boy who never let you know he was exhausted or in pain. After a year he has built up the courage to do things he probably had not done since his injury. One thing Monty could not conquer was his inability to do what most cats want to do naturally, bury their business. It didn't take long to dub this issue 'poo-foot'. The poor guy just can't keep his balance and bury at the same time, nor does his size (a massive 15 pounds and not overweight) help the situation. Even the largest boxes are a squeeze for him. Eventually my husband and I decided to see what our options were besides baby wipes. My husband read about some automatic litter boxes and told me to look at them the next time I was at the store. I opted for the scoop free because it was the largest available to me. Happily, he fits in it, though he usually sticks his head out of the cover. I was concerned he wouldn't like the new litter but it didn't phase him at all. He was infatuated the box. As soon as he would hear the motor turn on he would hobble over to watch. Within a week it would seem he figured out that the box buried his business for him (he never did a very good job of it himself). Before we knew it, he wasn't even trying to bury anymore, significantly reducing the amount of baby wipes we were going through. It does a fantastic job of minimizing and almost eliminating the odor. Also, not having to scoop one or two times a day is fantastic. Gives me more playtime (and snuggles) with my boy".
