Dysdera crocata, a Woodlouse Hunter. I hope there isn’t still one in the cat litter. They should be hunting Woodlice bugs which live in damp places, usually with rotting wood. The spiders themselves are usually found in grass near house foundations.
They’re not dangerous to people, they have big curved fangs for wrapping around and through spherical prey.
