Hi we have studied this issue before. Here is the only thing we came up with some far. Well you know them small corner litter pans that everyone has too many of them. My husband took and put the litter pan in the back left corner of the med. size carrier he then drilled a small hole threw the pan near the top of the pan and the carrier at the same time then he put a nut with a big head on it and a lg. washer and pushed it threw both of them, he then cut off the nut and left a nub long enough to put a nut wing on it on the outside of the carrier. You can put lock tight on the washer and permanently attach the nut and the washer together to it stays attached to the litter pan. You can take the pan in and out to wash them, the only problem is that it doesn't work with the really small carriers. We now have pans for each of our medium carriers. Hope this helps someone.
