Abstract:
A pet litter holding device which facilitates removal of animal waste and re-use of the litter includes a stationary base and a drum rotatively supported by the base. The drum is bounded by an enclosing wall which terminates in lateral extremities equipped with flanges that slidably embrace the base. A sieving panel isolates solid and clumped litter during rotation of the drum. A funnel region of the enclosing wall directs the isolated waste material downwardly to an exit spout adapted to hold a disposable plastic bag that receives the waste material.
