We love our cats. But if we're honest, we hate cleaning and emptying litter trays
around the house. The LitterPod™ by Kuba & Leia is the first self-cleaning litter tray
that’s not only gorgeous to look at, but will make your life easier and your cats life nicer.

Hygienic – the LitterPod™ features an automatic self-cleaning system that uses a
stainless-steel rake to sift clumped wees and poos into a standard bag in as fast as 60
seconds. A sealed waste compartment reduces odor and makes emptying easy-breezy.
Safe – precise sensors will ensure that your LitterPod will never run a cleaning cycle
while your cat is inside or nearby. Toggling between manual and automatic settings lets
you fully control how and when it works.
Familiar – the LitterPod™ looks like a normal litter tray, so your cat doesn’t need to
‘learn’ how to use it. In fact, Kuba went to the toilet in the prototype within 33 seconds of
us putting it in our house and turning it on. It’s also quiet so it won’t spook them!
Convenient – the LitterPod™ features a durable plow that completely empties the tray,
making full litter replacement easy. It’s also detachable for easy cleaning at any time.

Cat’s love a clean litter environment and are much more likely to use a litter tray that
is sparkling clean even if a sibling or other cat has recently used it. In fact, Leia has
already stopped ‘spot urinating’ outside the litter trays and uses the LitterPod™ more often
than the other normal trays we have in the house.
LitterPod™ works with 99% of clumping litters, so most cat owners can continue using
their current litter.

There are four weight sensors on the LitterPod™. One on each foot.
These are accurate to 50g (0.11 lbs) and can pick up weight as low as 200g (0.44 lbs) all the way up to 25kg (55 lbs) and more. This means that the LitterPod is suitable for kittens who are training as well as big breeds.
Once your cat goes into the LitterPod, the sensors take approximately three seconds to calibrate. When the weight is confirmed, it is displayed on the LED display on the front of the unit.
This weight reading will remain on the display for five minutes before the display turns off again. Oh, and by the way, it's great if you need to weigh something before popping to the Post Office too!

Running a rake cycle (cleaning).
No matter if you have the LitterPod™ in manual or automatic mode - you can run a cleaning cycle at anytime by pushing the middle rake/plough button. If the paw button has a green light, the LitterPod™ has been set to automatic mode. So it will cycle automatically. If the paw button has a blue light, the LitterPod™ has been set to manual mode. So when you want to run a cleaning cycle, you just need to press the button, as shown in this video.
Of course, in both automatic and manual mode, the weight sensors and motion sensors are always active so the cycle will stop if a cat is near or in the LitterPod™.
Running a plow cycle (emptying).
The LitterPod™ has a plow attached to the rake. When it's time to do the dreaded full litter change, let the plow do all the hard work for you! It sweeps through the litter seven times, pushing all of the litter in the tray, straight into the waste bag. Once complete just remove the bag and throw away!
Setting the Delay Timer
Different clumping litters clump at different speeds. Our thinking with the LitterPod® is the sooner the waste is out of the tray environment and in the waste compartment the better it is at reducing smells. To allow for this you can choose the delay time between your cat going to the toilet, leaving the LitterPod® and the rake cycle starting. This can be one minute all the way up to seven minutes. Depending on how quickly the litter you use clumps the quicker you can set it to run a cycle. From our testing, most litters need between three and four minutes to clump well.
The LitterPod™ has been designed to be used with most standard supermarket carrier bags. The bag simply clips to a wireframe and is very easy to insert and remove.
Refilling with litter.
The LitterPod™ is easy to fill with new litter.
Just take the lid off and pour straight in. The LitterPod™ has been designed to work with clumping litters. It does not work with pellet based litters or silica/crystal litters.
Kuba & Leia are big fans of eco litters that are made from grass, corn, or kernels. The general rule of thumb is the litter you use needs to both clump and also be made up of fine granules. This is so the rake can pass effectively through the litter to collect and dispose of the waste.

We wanted to make sure that the LitterPod™ is a long-term product that will stand the
test of time. As such, our company is offering you a unique Upgrade Programme.
After a few years of ownership, we will contact you to offer to collect and upgrade your
LitterPod™. When we have your unit, we will hygienically clean all the plastic
components, replace any damaged parts, and then add some exciting new upgrades.
This means we give you back a LitterPod™ that performs better than the day you bought it. The great thing about this is we re-use most of if not all the original plastic parts, which dramatically reduces our manufacturing footprint.
It also means that we will stay in close contact with you and really care about the lifespan of your LitterPod™ for many years to come.

We can’t wait to bring LitterPod™ to thousands of cats.
But to do so, we need to sell at least 2000 units to hit the minimum order expectations of our manufacturers. We figured a campaign on Indiegogo is the best way to go!
We are ready to manufacture and have already put an $80k down payment on our tooling to start the injection-molding process. Our manufacturers told us that it’s the best-designed product they’ve seen from a Western business. Aside from typical delays (such as having to tweak a tool during the process), we see no risks or challenges in manufacturing.
Help us bring the LitterPod™ to all cats of the world by backing our Indieogo
campaign today!

After more than three years of research and development, six prototypes, and feedback
from amazing cat owners, we are ready to bring the LitterPod™ out into the market.
The LitterPod™ is a fully-working, tested product that’s ready to manufacture now. It’s
used by Kuba & Leia every single day, has been demonstrated to thousands of cat
owners around the world and is genuinely ready to start the manufacturing process as
soon as the campaign has finished.
