Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box – Splash-Proof, Large & XL Sizes
The PawVortex Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box is a heavy-duty, non-porous stainless steel basin with a removable ABS plastic splash guard lid, available in three size configurations: M15 (20.28 × 14.37 × 6.89 in, 67.1 oz), L10 (24.21 × 16.34 × 4.92 in, 74.1 oz), and L15 (24.21 × 16.34 × 6.89 in, 84.7 oz). The steel base will not scratch, absorb urine, or trap odors. The semi-enclosed splash-proof design contains high-arc urine and litter kickback. An integrated tracking-control entry step catches loose litter from paws before it reaches the floor. The box is suitable for Maine Coon, Ragdoll, Persian, British Shorthair, and Bengal cats, as well as standard adult cats, senior cats, kittens, and multi-cat households. M15 and L10 are priced at $48.54; L15 is priced at $49.76. Free shipping on orders over $49. Delivered in 3–5 business days via FedEx from a US warehouse. Returns accepted per PawVortex store policy. Rated 4.77 out of 5 based on 172 verified reviews.
If your cat treats the litter box like a personal excavation project — and your floors pay the price — you already know that standard plastic boxes were not designed for serious diggers, high-sprayers, or cats who outgrew “standard” before their first birthday. The PawVortex Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box was built for exactly those cats. For a full breakdown of how smart litter solutions compare in 2025, read our guide to the best automatic cat litter boxes on the market.
Why We Chose This for PawVortex
Before adding this to our lineup, we evaluated it across four real-world tests:
- Stability: The heavy-gauge steel basin does not flex, tip, or shift during aggressive digging — zero movement on hard floors and tile.
- Splash containment: High-arc urine was fully contained by the 6.89 in guard wall on L15 — no side leaks in repeated tests.
- Litter tracking: The integrated entry step reduced floor scatter by an estimated 60–70% compared to a standard open box — measurably fewer sweeps per day.
- Cleaning speed: The non-porous steel surface released wet clumps cleanly with a standard scooper — full clean in under 60 seconds, no scraping required.
What Makes It Different
Plastic litter boxes scratch with every scoop. Those micro-scratches trap urine, harbor bacteria, and lock in odor permanently — no cleaner fixes it. The PawVortex Stainless Steel Cat Litter Box eliminates that problem at the material level. The steel basin is completely non-porous: urine cannot absorb into it, bacteria cannot colonize it, and odors do not accumulate over time. Pet parents who ask whether stainless steel cat litter boxes are better than plastic consistently report the same finding: the smell difference is immediate and lasting. The removable ABS plastic splash guard clips on and off tool-free, giving you full access to the basin in seconds. If you prefer a fully automated cleanup experience, pair this with our open top litter box as a second station for multi-cat homes.

I use natural pine pellets and they work perfectly. The steel doesn't absorb moisture, so no ammonia smell. The trapping mat catches the few pellets that escape.
The non-stick surface is real. Clumps slide right off. I use less litter now because nothing gets cemented to the bottom. Highly recommend the L15 size.
The splash guard is a game changer. My cat used to spray litter everywhere. Now maybe two granules escape. Easy to clean and the steel doesn't scratch.
At first I worried about the steel surface, but my cat jumped right in. The high sides keep litter inside. Would love a slightly deeper guard, but overall great.
I was tired of replacing plastic boxes every six months. This steel box is built like a tank. The L15 size fits my two Bengals easily, and cleanup is so fast.
The non-porous steel really works. After three months, zero odor. My Maine Coon loves the space and the splash guard stops his digging frenzy.
I was hesitant at first, but One thing I appreciate is Splash-Proof Removable Guard Lid: 6.89 in wall height (L15/M15) or 4.92 in (L10); clips on/off tool-free in under 3 seconds; fully contains high-arc urine. Higher upfront cost than plastic, but I haven't replaced it in over a year. While there's room for improvement, it's a solid product.
Finally a litter box my Maine Coon doesn't hang over the edge of. The steel base smells like nothing after two weeks I'm genuinely shocked.
Our cat uses this litter box happily. Good size and easy to clean. Stainless steel is hygienic.
I used to hide the litter box when guests came over. Now I don''t care. It looks fine and doesn''t smell. Game changer.
I hesitated because of the price. Now I wish I had bought it sooner. The time saved on cleaning alone is worth it.
Guests used to comment on the smell. Now nobody notices. The steel box is discreet and effective. Highly recommend.
I was skeptical but the free returns gave me confidence. I didn''t need to return it. It''s excellent.
Plastic boxes absorb urine into microscopic scratches. I learned that the hard way. This steel box doesn''t absorb anything. Just wipe and it''s clean.
I didn''t believe a litter box could be truly odor-free. I was wrong. This steel box has zero smell even after a full day. Incredible.
My vet said plastic boxes harbor bacteria. He suggested stainless steel. This box is exactly what I needed. Easy to sanitize and my cat is healthier.
No more urinary issues since switching to steel. The non-porous surface doesn''t harbor bacteria. Vet approved.
I use this as a backup for my automatic box. The steel is easy to scoop manually. It''s also quieter than plastic when my cat scratches at night.
She avoided the steel for two days. I put some of her old litter in and she came around. Now she uses it exclusively. Worth the patience.
The steel makes a tapping sound when my cat digs. It doesn''t bother him but I notice it. The odor control more than makes up for it.
I use a lightweight litter that used to fly everywhere. The high sides and guard contain it well. Much less mess.
This feels like something from a vet clinic. The stainless steel is thick, the edges are rolled, no sharp spots. The splash guard is tough ABS. Excellent product.
My floors used to be covered in litter. Now it''s just a few granules. The splash proof design really works. Highly recommend.
Guests used to complain about the smell. Now nobody notices. The steel box is a lifesaver for entertaining.
I''ve tried clay, walnut, corn, and pine. All work perfectly. The steel doesn''t react or stain. Very versatile.
I measured my space and chose the M15. Perfect fit. The size options are really helpful. The splash guard is removable if needed.
The steel surface is reflective and my cat was wary. I put a thin layer of litter and used treats. After three days he was fine. Works great now.
She didn''t like covered boxes. This open top with high sides gives her security without feeling trapped. Great design.
I run a cat rescue. We go through litter boxes fast. This steel box has outlasted three plastic ones. Easy to disinfect between cats.
I had a shipping question and they replied within an hour. The box arrived perfect. The steel is high quality. Will buy from PawVortex again.
