That's how I came to adopt my orange girl Rosalie. She had a BIG sign on her cage at the Humane Society that said "Litter Box" problems. When I read her surrender form, the people had written that they cleaned her litterbox ONCE A WEEK! I've had this charming playful bouncy girl for four years now and she had hasn't had any accidents at all.
