Abstract
A carryable enclosure having front, back and opposing side walls, at least one of which is provided with an entry opening to admit a kitten or cat to access a litter box supported within by a floor panel. Removable, and preferably, reversible dividers are provided to guide the kitten or cat to, and from, the litter box from the entry opening, over a course designed to trap and gather any litter accumulating on its fur and/or paws following from its use of the litter box. At least one of the walls, and/or an included top cover for the enclosure, is of a see-through construction to allow a breeder to observe the well being of the kittens and cats within the enclosure and the general sanitary conditions there.
