Lucky Litter LLC announced today the national
debut of the ScoopFree automatic litter box that allows cat lovers
to leave their kitty litter box alone for up to 30 days, revolutionizing
cat care.
"It's a completely hands-free litter box for up to 30 days — no
scooping, no cleaning, no emptying or refilling," said Alan Cook,
President of Chicago-based Lucky Litter LLC. "ScoopFree is the
future of kitty litter in America."
ScoopFree is making its debut at selected PetSmart stores, PetSmart.com,
Costco.com and other fine retailers nationwide.
"We are pleased with the positive consumer response to the new
ScoopFree automatic litter box. It revolutionizes litter box care
with unprecedented convenience and odor control," said Eddy Roddick,
Assistant Buyer in the Ecommerce Division of Costco Wholesale Corp. (Nasdaq:
COST)
"With nothing to scoop or clean and nothing to refill, ScoopFree
will change the way people think about and care for their cats," Cook
said.
ScoopFree uses a disposable cat litter cartridge that comes with
Fresh Step Crystals cat litter in an exclusive licensing arrangement
with the Clorox Pet Products Co. (NYSE:CLX).
"We carefully review requests for licensing agreements to ensure
a strong fit with our corporate and brand strategies," said Steve
Silberblatt, Vice President Business Development for The Clorox Company. "We
are pleased to have signed an agreement with Lucky Litter LLC, the makers
of the ScoopFree(TM) automatic litter box. Lucky Litter is the first
company we have licensed to use the Fresh Step(R) brand name and the
Fresh Step Crystals cat litter formula which, versus other crystal
litters, provides unbeatable odor control."
Fresh Step cat litter -- America's most popular premium litter brand
-- uses breakthrough technology to lock in odors and absorb wetness on
contact.
"At Clorox our focus is on developing and marketing products that
make people's lives easier," said Tracy Lessin, Brand Manager, Fresh
Step Crystals cat litter. "ScoopFree is right in line with
this strategy. We're very pleased to be part of the introduction of this
unique product."
The ScoopFree automatic litter box relies on patent-pending technology
to be totally automatic, maintenance-free and hands-off between monthly
litter cartridge changes, although multiple cat households will need
to change cartridges more often. An infrared beam starts a countdown
timer after a cat leaves the box. The Fresh Step Crystals cat litter
immediately begins to lock in odor, absorb wetness and dry out solid
waste. After 20 minutes, the ScoopFree rake automatically moves solids
into a covered trap built into the cartridge. The rake also quietly grooms
and smoothes the litter, leaving no waste behind that might cause odor.
"We are so confident that cats and cat lovers will both be pleased
with ScoopFree's flawless performance -- month after month, year
after year -- that we offer the most comprehensive consumer guarantee
and warranty in the industry," Cook said. Lucky Litter LLC offers
a 90-day "no questions asked" guarantee that allows consumers
to return the litter box to Lucky Litter for a full refund and a one-year
warranty on replacement parts and repair. Consumers can learn more about
ScoopFree at www.ScoopFree.com.
"The ScoopFree litter box is fantastic," said cat lover
Amy Duncan. "It takes so little effort to keep things clean and
fresh."
