The steel surface wipes down in under a minute. My previous plastic tray always smelled no matter what I tried, and this one genuinely does not.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tray come with a base tray, or is it the sifting insert only?
This listing is for the stainless steel sifting tray only. It is designed to be used as a sifting insert inside a base tray. If you need a complete multi-tray system, check the 4FurBaby full sifting set listings.
What are the exact dimensions of the tray?
The tray measures 23.6 inches long, 15.7 inches wide, and 5.9 inches high. In metric, that is approximately 60 cm × 40 cm × 15 cm, which is a comfortable size for most adult cats including larger breeds.
Is this tray suitable for large or Maine Coon-sized cats?
Yes. At roughly 60 cm long and 40 cm wide, the tray gives bigger cats adequate room to turn around and dig without feeling cramped. It is one of the more generous sizes available in a sifting format.
What type of litter works best with a sifting tray?
Clumping litter works particularly well because the clumps stay on top of the sifting surface while loose, clean litter falls through. Coarser non-clumping litters can also work, depending on the size of the sifting holes. Fine, powdery litters may not sift as cleanly.
How do I clean the stainless steel tray?
Rinse the tray with warm water and a mild, pet-safe detergent. Stainless steel is non-porous, so it does not hold onto odours or stains the way plastic does. A thorough rinse and air-dry is usually sufficient for a quick clean between deeper washes.
Will the tray rust over time?
Stainless steel is inherently rust-resistant. As long as you avoid leaving standing water in the tray for extended periods and dry it properly after washing, it should maintain its finish through years of regular use.
Is stainless steel safer than plastic for cats?
Stainless steel is non-porous and does not leach chemicals the way some plastics can over time. It also does not develop the micro-scratches that harbour bacteria in older plastic trays. It is a material widely considered safe for pet use.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery typically takes 5 to 15 working days, depending on your location. You will receive tracking details once your order has been dispatched.
