ABSTRACT:
A scoop apparatus for removing animal faeces from a litter box has a channel shaped configuration to permit easy cleaning rather than a tubular shape. Also the scoop has a retaining section for holding the faeces and stop them falling out of the scoop. The apparatus has an open channel shaped scoop member with side walls having substantially in line top edges, the side walls have bottom edges joined to a base; an entry lip at one end of the scoop member is in line with the top edges of the side walls leading to a substantially flat receiving portion sloped down to the base of the scoop member. A plurality of diamond shaped sifting openings are provided in the receiving portion for sifting out litter particles, and the scoop member has a handle portion adjacent the receiving portion with a width less than the receiving portion, and an exit at the end of the scoop member opposite the entry lip, adapted to have a disposable bag attached thereto.
