CHICAGO, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PetPivot, a smart cat litter box technology brand focused on cleaner and more efficient pet care, has donated 10 Autoscooper 12 fully automatic smart litter boxes to PAWS Chicago as part of the company’s broader charitable support program for animal shelters and rescue organizations. The donated units are being distributed to PAWS Chicago foster families, where they are intended to help improve litter hygiene for foster cats living in temporary home-care environments. The donation supports cats that may be recovering, adjusting to new surroundings, or awaiting adoption while receiving care outside of a shelter setting.
The contribution reflects PetPivot’s growing effort to provide practical pet care technology to rescue groups, shelters, and foster-based animal welfare programs. Rather than focusing only on private households, the company’s charitable initiative is designed to help organizations and caregivers address everyday care needs, including cleanliness, routine litter maintenance, and comfort for cats in transitional care.
“For foster families, litter care can be a daily challenge, particularly when caring for cats that require consistency, close monitoring or a calmer recovery environment,” said Raymond, Public Relations Manager for PetPivot. “However, this Autoscooper 12 is designed to automate routine litter box cleaning, helping maintain a cleaner space while reducing repetitive manual maintenance for caregivers.”
PetPivot’s rescue support initiative comes as the company continues to expand its presence in the smart pet care market. The company has sold more than 300,000 units globally and has expanded into major retail and e-commerce channels, including Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and Chewy. Through its charitable giving program, PetPivot aims to connect that growth with direct support for animal welfare organizations and the foster families who help pets move toward adoption.
This donation to PAWS Chicago marks one step in PetPivot’s developing effort to support shelters, rescues, and foster networks with technology that can make day-to-day cat care cleaner, easier, and more manageable. PetPivot plans to continue identifying opportunities to support animal welfare organizations through product donations and practical care-focused initiatives.
