iPrimio Universal Cat Litter Scoop Holder
Feline design
iPrimio made our favorite of these cat litter scoop holders by mixing style with substance. This metal vessel is a breeze to clean, and it’s large enough to hold practically any size scooper. As an adorable bonus, it comes with four cat paw stickers to help decorate your holder. This is one of the few cat litter scoop holders that looks good and functions well in equal measure.
Pros
- The metal construction is easy to clean and should last a long time.
- It’s very compact and designed to fit in visually with any interior design plan.
Cons
- The holder is lightweight and is thus relatively easy to knock over or cause to skid.
Petmate Scoop N’ Hide Litter Scoop
The built-in rake goes a long way towards putting this at the top of our favorite cat litter scoop holders. This compact, all-in-one holder is simple and discrete, and its unique shape makes it easy to store in nooks and crannies when not in use. The accompanying rake is also very useful, as it scoops up a good variety of waste types. For a product that does one thing and does it well, this is among the ideal cat litter scoop holders.
Pros
- It’s incredibly inexpensive, costing half or less of what other cat litter scoop holders can climb to.
- The simple color schemes mean it’ll look classy without seeming out of place in just about any environment.
Cons
- Stowaway kitty litter on the scoop can cause the holder not to close properly.
CatGuru Premium Cat Litter Scoop Holder
Made with care
Not only is this one of the sleekest looking cat litter scoop holders you’re likely to come across, but it’s also one of the best. A heavy base ensures the scoop will always remain upright and that the holder itself won’t be easy to move. Its silicone insert also catches waste and debris, so cleaning the holder is fairly stress-free. Quality design isn’t always a given with cat litter scoop holders, but that’s one place where this one excels.
Pros
- At six and a half inches across, it’s wide enough to hold larger scoops than its competitors.
- We think the modern look blends into contemporary dining or bathrooms.
Cons
- While wide, the holder isn’t especially deep and shows a lot of the scoop when stored.
Tookincmo Modern Cat Litter Scoop Holder
Anywhere you want it
We love when cat litter scoop holders give us options when it comes to putting our scoops away. You can store the supplied scooper in the lovely holder that contains it or hang it on the wall via a small hole in the handle. The container also features a sturdy base, making it difficult to knock over. If you want choices for how you store your scoop, this is worth considering.
Pros
- We love that it comes in a greater range of vibrant, tasteful colors.
- The scooper’s large holes make it great to use with wooden litter pellets.
- It’s made from ABS material, meaning the scoop has a nice, weighty feel to it.
Cons
- The scoop is quite small, which can be a hassle for some cat owners.
The Neater Scooper
Bag it up
This is an ingenious premise, and we can’t believe other cat litter scoop holders haven’t thought of it before. This holder comes with 60 poop bags at the ready. Just scoop the waste, deposit it directly into the holder, then tie the bag up and throw it away. This streamlines the litter cleaning experience like no other cat litter scoop holders can do.
Pros
- The scoop has a handle specifically for acting as a lid for the holder, keeping the smell in the bag for multiple days’ waste.
- Lifting the scoop pulls the bag from the bin as well, making disposal even easier.
Cons
- We wish that the included bags were biodegradable.
