Local tech firm raises money for litter-box scale
A team of local entrepreneurs has struck Kickstarter gold, more than doubling the amount of cash sought to fund their invention: a digital scale attached to a litter box for cats.
San Diego-based Pet Wireless approached the crowd-sourced fundraising site seeking $30,000 to develop Tailio, essentially a scale that sits under a litter box that, when paired with a mobile app, sends users updates on their pet's bowel movements and weight when visiting the box.
Developers say the information will be useful in monitoring a pet's health, as significant weight change or frequent box visits could signal a need for medical attention.
Within a week's time, the goal for Tailio's fundraising has more than doubled (the amount pledged was over $69,000 as of Monday morning, November 24). Developers say they'll use the extra money to offer the device in multiple colors (an initial rollout was planned in white only), and possibly to add a feature to the app providing a list of local veterinarians if donors pledge $150,000 or more.
The campaign is live for another 17 days.
