Enuja .. if you have a WalMart near you, check there. The two near me have been well stocked with Breeze Systems. Otherwise I saw two being sold on eBay but am not sure if it would be worth it between the final selling price and shipping.

I saw the ones on ebay. They're priced at more then what you'd pay at Walmart + the shipping charges!

Wal-Marts are a bit thin on the ground around here. The people at the PetCo apologized for not having it "because we're a really small store" and the people at PetSmart had no idea what I was talking about.

It's available on amazon.com for $36.87 and ships free, so that's likely my best bet. (Amazon also has refills).

My crew still uses the Breeze for pee but continue to use the clumping for poo. However, I have only 1 Breeze for them. It really keeps down the smell!!

That's a decent deal.

Oh yeah, Amazon! I go there first for everything usually, sorry I flaked and didn't suggest it.

I agree about the ones on eBay costing more between the final bid price and shipping.

Hope it works out for you!

Yeah, I saw it at Amazon after I saw this thread but I just noticed someone was asking where to buy it. We decided to get one from Amazon because it was a good deal and free shipping... We ordered it yesterday and it already shipped so it shouldn't be too long. Here's hoping the cats like it and that it helps reduce all the cleaning I normally have to do because of Sneakers!

I was informed today that someone pooped in the TC Breeze!
I don't know if it was Twitch or Lily.

I, however, did not ever see poop....as one of the dogs ate it!


Now that they're using the boxes, the next step is to finding a dog proof place for them!

Mine came in the mail today! Fingers crossed... I don't think they will have a problem using it because I chance litter types all the time. I'm just worried about it being large enough!

So far both kittens have gotten in, but none have used it yet. I heard crunching noises a little while ago and went to check, and our Maine Coon kitten was LYING in the litterbox! :p

Someone had asked about big cats and this system. I have a 22-lb grey Tomcat (Phinneus), and a 20-lb Maine Coon (Murray), and they transitioned to the Breeze system and have been really good boys about it.

Phinney had some troubles with loose stools which were solved by changing him to a food with a slightly higher fibre content ( went from 6% to 8% fibre)... made all the difference in the world.

We have 5-cats in the house... and the Breeze system has changed our lives
.... no more smelling like a shelter!!!!
With 2-huge boy cats - you can imagine the smell from normal litter, even with my obsessive compulsive tendency to scoop and clean all the time. This has been the first litter that allows my nose to rest, and makes it comfortable to once again entertain at home.

Again... the transition for our team took a bit.... more than a couple weeks. But now - it's ALL GOOD. OH!! I also put more pellets in the base than just a single bag. I put two bags worth in and that seems to provide the density that their paws expect in a litterbox situation. Hope this helps. I'm new to the forums here.

How's it going with your cats? I know it's only been a couple days but I was just wondering how they were doing.

Welcome to thecatsite! Isn't the Breeze great? I really love it too. I have to really try to remember to change the pee pads because I don't smell it and sometimes forget.

Me too!!! I am going to have to start putting a sticky note on the side of each box with the date I should change out the pee pad. It's so easy to forget! (And that's a good thing!)

Well, I haven't seen any of the cats in the box since that first day, but at least one of them has been pooping in it. I haven't found any messes outside the box so my guess is that Sneakers is using it. (If she doesn't like her box she will go right outside it.)

I got the Breeze delivered on Friday.

One thing that still concerns me is that the physical contents of the pellets are entirely mysterious. They are "chalky"; when I pick a pellet up, or "step" in the box with my fingers, my fingers are coated with a white substance. I don't want to call it dust, as I've not yet seen any evidence of it airborne. The Breeze is only advertised as "99.9% dust free".

My cats aren't using it yet, but I assume that they will soon. I've got the Breeze next to my old litter box, and Athena pawed the Breeze pellets towards the old box in an obvious (and obviously futile; oh, I wish they could understand geometry
) attempt to use the Breeze pellets to cover the urine and feces in the old box.

I've had cats paw at other cats in the same box as them trying to use the other cat to cover up their "duties".


With time, they'll get use to the breeze!

My previous cat was very fastidious about covering up... If there wasn't enough litter available she would find something elsewhere in the house and carry it into the litterbox to try to cover it up! I've found pencils in the box, pieces of paper, a photograph, once a page ripped out of Dog Fancy...

Anyone who owns the Breeze box--- where do you buy the litter??
I think all 3 cats are now using the box, but the litter is getting rather low... I went to Petsmart the other day and they didn't have the Breeze litter, now I'm not sure where to look for it!

I've seen it in Wal Mart, that's the only place I can think of seeing it off the top of my head.

Walmart is the cheapest. They are supposed to carry it at Petco too. I've seen it here at the Petco.
