The fired clay used on golf courses is called either
Turface or Profile, they are made by the same company.
Brent recommends the Profile. This is available in
garden stores in California.

I have been using dried clay
(cat litter) but it breaks down very fast.

You can look in two places for a longer
lasting "fired" clay. Check
out auto supply stores for a product called or use
to soak up spilled oil.
Sometimes it is the same as the cat litter and no
improvement, but sometimes it is
a better product. Buy the smallest bag and put some
in a glass of warm water,
see how long it takes to break down.
Another place is a golf course or athletic
field, they sometimes use a
fired clay product to dry moist areas.
