A window-mounted pet litter housing is described. The housing is equipped with a left front door, a right front door, a transparent rear panel, a ceiling, a floor, and at least one window anchor mount. The front left door and front right door are configured to open outward from the housing. The front left door is equipped with a flap door configured for use by the pet to enter and exit the housing. The interior of the housing provides adequate space for the pet litter box, as well as space for the pet to lie down and peer through the transparent rear panel. Vented louvers are disposed in the left wall and right wall which provide ventilation while preventing rain and snow from entering the housing.
