CAT DEPOT

Cat Depot is Sarasota’s leading feline-only free-roaming rescue, adoption, and education center recognized for excellence in serving the community and leadership in rescuing and finding homes for more than 19,800 homeless and abandoned cats and kittens since 2003. Cat Depot believes in treating every cat with humane kindness, love, and care.

TOGETHER – WE ARE CAT DEPOT!

Cat Depot saves lives, finds loving homes, and provides resources and education needed to improve the destiny of homeless cats. Simply put – we help cats and the people who love them. With your help, our priority focus is to keep cats safe and healthy, in their homes, and our lifesaving programs running at full capacity:

• RESCUE Cat Depot works daily to rescue abandoned, abused, injured, and free-roaming community/ feral cats and kittens. In 2022, Cat Depot assisted with local and national rescues due to both natural and man-made disasters.

• ADOPTION Our goal is to find a good match and loving home for every cat who enters Cat Depot. Nearly 1,200 cats and kittens found forever homes this year through Cat Depot’s adoption program.

• COMMUNITY FOOD BANK Cat Depot provides food for over 1000 community cats and underserved personal pets each month.

• CAT CARE CLINIC In an effort to care for sick and injured cats and their distressed owners, Cat Depot opened an affordable care clinic in November 2014. Over 4,000 cats and kittens receive treatment each year in the Cat Care Clinic.

• HUMANE EDUCATION Cat Depot is continually working to offer and develop pertinent educational programs and activities that will meet the needs of both homeless cats and members of the community.
