I’ve seen a few different solutions for securing your litter box in the garage, but this is the nicest yet! The new Pet Outhouse is a stylish enclosure that contains the litter box safely in the garage, allowing your cat to access it through a pet door that you install in the wall.
The enclosure itself has some really nice features. It’s made of natural wood with a clear finish and a sleek modern design. Nothing fancy here, just pure function! The wire mesh door lifts up, allowing you to use the enclosure in a small space, but still providing room inside for two or three litter boxes. A sturdy lock ensures that your cat can’t escape into the garage.
The feature that really caught my attention is the adjustable ramp. You may have to install the pet door so that it comes out into the garage higher or lower on the wall, there’s no standard really, since every house is different. Because the ramp is adjustable, you can easily change the angle to accommodate your specific configuration.
Overall, I think this is a really lovely and functional solution for those people who want to put the litter box in the garage. You can get some great deals right now by backing the Pet Outhouse Kickstarter campaign with expected delivery in February 2017. You can even get the adjustable ramp by itself. (I can think of lots of uses for this ramp!) And make sure to watch their hilarious Kickstarter video!

Nice idea but no where near large enough (height depth, width, length) for my three foot wide jumbo cat litter boxes my girls prefer — they use four of these jumbo boxes.
Attractive, roomy, well-engineered answer for those who do not want their litterboxes in the house but require safe, secure, and easily accessible places for their cats’ toilets!
May violate local building codes with regards to the firewall (wall shared by the house and garage). Should be fine if attached to interior shared walls.
Good design. I like the details on the ramp, the way the wire door opens. Size is good for 2 boxes, but if the cat wants to stay awhile for some reason it’s crowded. I know he/she probably doesn’t want to sit next to the litter box; just a tight space with 2 boxes and sitting room. Good sitting area without litter box at all. Price?
There is a technical problem in the design in these pictures. When the curved part opens up in the air, it is joined in the opposite direction. Because for it to close in alignment, it will have to be concave on the inside. I’m guessing this is a computer generated image so can be tweaked.
Check out the video to see how the door opens and closes, it actually goes straight up so it creates a convex shape when closed. It’s a pretty cool design!
This is a good alternative especially for those who do not want the litter boxes inside their home.
i have a similar system for my cats. mine, however, has screen wire over galvanized steel hardware cloth to keep flies and any other bugs that might be or get into the garage. i highly recommend screen wire over the wire cage.
So does this mean there is no way possible to get one of these? 😛 Please email me, I’m interested if it’s possible…
I would LOVE to have one of these. Have you tried to take it to “Shark Tank”? I’ve seen far less useful and original ideas make it big from that springboard. Hopefully one of the Sharks is a cat owner/lover! I think you just need more exposure to get this out to the public. I’ll be first in line to purchase one of your outhouses!
I agree…. I think if someone can come up with the perfect litter box solution for indoor cats…. it would be a goldmine for those of us who don’t want to have the litter box in our bathroom or in a piece of furniture in our living space (!!!!!) Please help all of us!
How much??
Is this available now? I am wanting to purchase.
I got mine at petouthouse.com and I love it!!! No more stepping on tracked litter all over and no more horrible odors after the cat has gone #2. Plus, I don’t have to wonder if my house smells like cat pee any more. Wish I had it years ago!
The front (wire part) lifts up and out of the way. You do not need the 3 ft area for it to swing… only moves a few inches away from the side wall framing.
