Built by engineers
who love cats.
Founded in Shenzhen in 2016, Ytobe began with a simple frustration -- our founders were cat owners tired of daily litter chores. So we built a smarter solution, combining IoT engineering with genuine care for animal welfare.
Today, our 15,000 m² manufacturing facility produces over 200,000 units annually, exported to 18+ European countries. Every product is designed in-house, tested rigorously, and backed by our 24-month EU warranty.
