Yup. I found some here (though they're not quite Van Ness, but they have the same/very close measurements, and cheaper!):

Looks like a typo. 6 3/4 should be the right height, though if you need an exact measurement, I would call the company. I haven't ordered any jumbo cat litter pans.

Linens and Things website (lnt.com) has Petmate little pans which are good...and cheap.

I use the mediums for my birthing racks (16x12x4).

Those are the pans used and this is where they were bought (Shipping was at the time $5 for the entire order.

If I remember correctly they are 27 x 19.75 x 6

When you build the top for the tub on your rack the measurement would be 28" x 19 7/8".

Trust me when I say that you want these SNUG!

In fact, if you're building more than one you should buy a miter saw to cut everything perfectly. You will be happy that you did.

I agree completely about using a miter saw....you can make perfect cages and they still find a way to chew tubs...lol...I been putting wood block and things are much better now..
