Buying Guide

Model Compatibility

Not all PETKIT litter pads fit every model. The NewKe pad works exclusively with the PuraMax 2 and Purobot Max Pro, while the PETKIT Replaced pad fits only the original PuraMax. The PETKIT New Cat Litter Pad Max is designed for the PuraMax 2 and Purobot Max Pro. Always verify compatibility before purchasing to avoid returns.

Leakproof Design

Urine leaks often happen when cats urinate along the edge of the pad. The NewKe pad features a flexible border that fits into the groove, guiding urine back into the pad. The PETKIT New Cat Litter Pad Max uses a seamless elastic border that inserts fully into the groove for similar leak protection. The PETKIT Replaced pad relies on a secure snap system to hold the pad in place, which can be effective but may not prevent edge leaks as well. If odor control is a priority, see our best litter box accessories for odor control.

Durability and Scratch Resistance

Cats dig and scratch, so the pad must withstand daily use. The NewKe pad is made of high-density waterproof material that is scratch-resistant and wear-proof. The PETKIT New Cat Litter Pad Max uses 300D Oxford fabric with a waterproof coating, offering excellent anti-stick and scratch-resistant properties. The PETKIT Replaced pad is also scratch-proof and waterproof, but its material feels less robust than the Oxford fabric.

Ease of Replacement

Changing a litter pad should be quick and hassle-free. The NewKe pad has an upgraded flexible border that you simply align, fit into the groove, and press softly. No tools needed. The PETKIT New Cat Litter Pad Max requires three steps: hold, insert, and release. The PETKIT Replaced pad involves a more involved process: empty the litter, remove the filter screen, unclip the old pad, and snap the new one into place. If you prefer a straightforward swap, the NewKe and PETKIT Max pads are the easiest options.

If you have the original PuraMax and need a reliable, scratch-resistant replacement, the PETKIT Replaced Cat Litter Pad for PuraMax offers a snug fit and proven durability. Both pads will keep your litter box cleaner and reduce mess, giving you more time to enjoy your cat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a PETKIT litter pad on a different brand of automatic litter box?

Is the NewKe pad compatible with the original PuraMax?

No, the NewKe pad is designed exclusively for the PuraMax 2 and Purobot Max Pro. It will not fit the original PuraMax or Purobot Ultra. For the original PuraMax, choose the PETKIT Replaced pad.

Do these litter pads prevent urine from leaking onto the floor?
