A shelf for supporting cat litter within a litter box in a spaced relationship relative to a floor of the box. The inventive device includes a perimeter frame having a plurality of spaced slats extending thereacross so as to support litter above potentially toxic deodorant or disinfectant materials positioned beneath the perimeter frame within the box. A locking assembly permits selective movement of the slats relative to the perimeter frame to facilitate ease of cleaning of the device.

A litter box slatted spacing shelf comprising: a perimeter frame positionable within a litter box; a plurality of slats extending in substantially spaced and parallel orientation across the perimeter frame; a pair of slat support rods extending across the perimeter frame and projecting through apertures in each of the slats located proximal to respectively opposed ends of the slats to support the slats in the substantially spaced and parallel orientation across the perimeter frame; a plurality of spacers interposed between adjacent slats so as to support the slats in a substantially spaced and parallel orientation relative to one another; and, a locking means for selectively permitting and precluding movement of the slats relative to the perimeter frame over the support rods, the locking means comprising a locking wedge positioned between one of the slats and a portion of the perimeter frame; and a locking wedge handle coupled to the locking wedge to permit manual insertion and removal of the locking wedge relative to the perimeter frame, wherein the locking wedge can be selectively disengaged from the perimeter frame to permit movement of the slats and the spacers along the slat support rods, whereby debris captured between adjacent slats is free to fall therefrom.
