We’re doing a happy-dance—and a few kittens are doing happy pounces—because of you! This GivingTuesday, our community came together in the most incredible way. We set a goal of $35,000… and thanks to your generosity, we raised $41,444 and the gifts are still coming in!

We also have an extra-special update to share—one that will absolutely warm your heart.

During GivingTuesday, we shared the story of Frankie, the kitten who arrived at Cat Depot with a badly fractured leg. Thanks to supporters like you, Frankie received the medical care, comfort, and love he needed while healing in one of our amazing foster homes.

And today… Frankie was adopted!
Even better? He was adopted by his foster family.

Frankie’s journey—from a painful injury to a safe, joy-filled forever home—is exactly the kind of miracle your support makes possible. Thank you for giving kittens like Frankie the chance to heal, grow, and find the families meant for them.

Cat Depot is $1,000 away from our goal! Your gift can create a happy ending for kittens like Weebles!

Weeble Wobbles came to Cat Depot as a tiny kitten with ringworm and cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). We knew he’d need an adopter who could love his wobbles and quirks—and on November 25th, he found the perfect home.

Known for his happy little wobble-walk, surprise lap launches, and Christmas-tree naps, Weebles now has the future he deserves.

This is what GivingTuesday makes possible.

Your support gives kittens like Weebles the medical care and compassion they need to thrive.

Give hope. Give healing. Give second chances to 500 kittens that will need Cat Depot in the coming months.

Frankie’s journey has touched all of us.
This tiny kitten came to Cat Depot with a badly fractured leg and a long road ahead — but he never stopped fighting. With gentle hands, skilled medical care, and the comforting love of his foster family (and their sweet cat, Kitty), Frankie slowly learned what it feels like to be safe.

Today, he’s playful, healed, and full of hope.

This , we’re asking you to help create more stories like his.
Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $7,000, doubling the love and care we can give.

💛 Help us help more cats feel safe, cherished, and supported — just like Frankie. Visit us at https://catdepot.org/giving-tuesday/ to donate now!

Meet Pearl — the hero mama who saved six tiny lives.
Exhausted, underweight, and struggling to care for her three newborns, Pearl still fought to keep them safe. When she arrived at Cat Depot, she had no idea her family was about to grow.

Soon, three orphaned kittens arrived — fragile, alone, and far too young to survive on their own. With gentle introductions and lots of love from her foster mom, Pearl did something extraordinary…

✨ She adopted them. All three.
She groomed them, fed them, and wrapped them in the warmth and safety they desperately needed.
Because of Pearl — and because of compassionate people like you — six kittens who once faced an uncertain future are now thriving.

Today, this GivingTuesday (Dec 2, 2025), we’re working to raise $35,000 to save even more tiny lives. And thanks to a generous donor, your gift will be matched up to $7,000!

💛 Double your impact today. Save the next Pearl, Squawk, or Shell.

Cat Depot’s GivingTuesday campaign is LIVE — and every gift is being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $7,000! Help us meet our GivingTuesday goal by DOUBLING your impact to save cats lives Today!

That means your kindness goes twice as far for kittens like Marlee.

At only 2 months old, Marlee had already survived more than any kitten should. She was discovered hiding inside a car engine — terrified, injured, and fighting to stay alive. Her ear was severely damaged and needed immediate medical attention to avoid infection.

Our shelter hospital team acted fast, giving her the urgent care she needed. Then Cat Depot’s foster network stepped in, offering her a safe, loving place to heal.

Despite everything she endured, Marlee’s sweetness never faded — and just before Thanksgiving, she was adopted into a wonderful home with other kitties to love.

Marlee’s holiday wish came true… and your GivingTuesday support ensures the next kitten in crisis gets the same chance.

Give today and double your impact! Help magic happen. Visit https://catdepot.org/giving-tuesday/ to donate now!

Meet Daphne 💛🐾

This sweet 9-month-old girl has been with us since July, and she’s more than ready to find her forever family.

Daphne came from a large hoarding rescue earlier this year and is now one of the last kitties from that case still waiting for a home. She’s gentle, observant, and quietly affectionate once she feels safe. Daphne enjoys the company of other cats and would truly blossom in a calm, multi-cat home where she can feel secure and loved.

After all she’s overcome, Daphne deserves a fresh start—a patient, caring family who will show her what it means to finally be home. ✨

Give Daphne the loving forever home she’s been waiting for: catdepot.org/adopt
