ABSTRACT:
A sanitization system for cat litter boxes is presented which is composed of a scoop device for straining cat litter where the scoop device has a handle member from which a scoop region extends axially. At a predetermined distance axially from the scoop region, a containment member extends laterally of the handle where the containment member has a multiplicity of venting orifices extending therethrough. A fluid reservoir is removably attachable to the cat litter box. The fluid reservoir is defined by a housing having an open end and a cavity chamber where the cavity chamber is so dimensioned and constructed to be in fluid communication with the open to permit the passage of fluid through the open end. A deodorizing and disinfectant fluid is carried in the reservoir. To seal the reservoir, the dimensions of the open end of the reservoir and of the containment member are substantially identical such that when the scoop is stored in the reservoir the containment member will seal it and permit deodorizing vapors to escape through the orifices. The system also includes a plastic bag holder which is defined by a frame having a multiplicity of suspension members from which the plastic bag may be suspended. The plastic bag holder is removably mounted to the cat litter box and thus provides a ready means for disposal of the cat fecal matter.
