Shattered pelvis

[Lynniedapooh2]

Hi everyone,I have searched all over for some suggestions.We had a stray come to us,and she limped a little ,but pretty happy mellow cat.5 weeks ago she was hit by a car and shattered her pelvis,she is coming along real well.The only thing is,the vet said since she already had a limp,she might not fully recover.As i said she is doing well,except for the littler box,she can not stay up a very long time to potty cause it is so slippery on the bottom.Is there anything out there that would give her traction i can put in there to help her stand and not slide all over...Thank you for any suggestions...

Hello! Welcome!!

Maybe something like this, cut to size if need be to fit inside?
Petlinks Purrfect Paws Gray Cat Litter Mat, Medium - Chewy.com

If that won't work, there are disposable litter boxes that are made from a cardboardish material...an advantage of these is that you could cut out a lower entryway in the side;

Hi Lynniedapooh2 and welcome to the forum !

Am I understanding this correctly...? Her feet are sliding on the bottom of the litterbox ?

How much litter is in the box......to what thickness do you fill the box with litter ? ............and, is it clay ?

Yes this was my thought too, how much litter in the box? It would probably help her to have at least 3 inches so even when she digs all areas are covered.

I use a corn-based litter, and put about 2 inches in the bottom of the box. It is soft, but gives a good foundation. You could easily add an extra inch, if that helps.
