As the spouse of a cat enthusiast, I understand the frustration and unpleasantness of manually cleaning a litter box. The mess and the odor felines leave behind are enough to make anyone wish for a better solution. Luckily, I discovered the MOVA self-cleaning litter box, a Kickstarter project by MOVA Tech that’s garnering a lot of attention for its innovative features, including odor and germ control, a safety pause mechanism, and a quiet, semi-open design.
Unlike traditional litter boxes that trap odors, MOVA features an air-purifying system and an automatic deodorant spray to neutralize smells effectively. According to the company, “The air purifying system and bio-enzyme membrane work together to keep your home fresh all the time. Carbon absorbs odors from above, while enzymes neutralize them below, targeting gases like ammonia and sulfur dioxide.” This ensures a clean and pleasant environment for both cats and their owners.
Beyond providing a clean space, MOVA also prioritizes your cat’s safety. The self-cleaning litter box is equipped with multiple sensors that automatically stop the cleaning process to prevent your cat from getting hurt. The litter box resumes cleaning once all cats have safely left the area.
Another feature that really had me intrigued is the easy-clean design. Instead of scooping litter multiple times a day, MOVA’s non-stick materials allow waste to clump effortlessly, enabling smooth, hygienic automatic cleaning. All you are required to do is remove the trash bag when needed. With an 11-liter waste bin, MOVA self-cleaning litter box supports up to 14 days of use without maintenance, making it ideal for busy schedules or short trips.

The MOVA litter box measures 21.78 × 22.88 × 30.09 inches and features a spacious semi-open design suitable for cats weighing 3.3 to 22 lbs. Beyond convenience, it monitors your cat’s health by tracking their weight and toilet habits via an accompanying app, helping identify potential health issues early.
There is no denying that other self-cleaning litter boxes like FuriHome’s self-cleaning litter box furniture and PetyPot litter-free cat toilet offer app controls and multi-cat designs, but many of these pet care devices are incredibly bulky, noisy, or high-maintenance. They also have a market of their own.
MOVA, on the other hand, stands out with its practical focus on odor control, quiet operation, and user-friendly maintenance, all wrapped in an aesthetically pleasing design. If interested, you can preorder the cat litter box on Kickstarter with prices starting from $299 as part of the company’s super early bird price deal.
