Every day, our incredible team at Cat Depot shows up with compassion, dedication, and a shared mission: to save as many lives as possible. 🐾🧡

From medical care to second chances, their hard work and heart make a real difference for cats who need it most. We’re grateful to Best Friends for recognizing our team’s dedication—and so thankful for this amazing group of lifesavers and the lives they help change every single day.

🎉🐾 Happy New Year from all of us at Cat Depot! 🐾🎉

We are almost to the end of the year and so close to our goal!
As we count down the final hours of 2025, we want to say thank you. 💙

If you’ve already made a year-end gift to Cat Depot—thank you for being a hero to cats in need. Because of you, 1,393 cats and kittens found safety, care, and hope this year.

There’s still time to make an impact. We’re just shy of our goal, and a gift made by the end of today helps deliver emergency veterinary care, warm beds, full bellies, and second chances for cats who have nowhere else to turn.

From all of us—and all the cats—thank you for being part of the Cat Depot family. 🐱💙

As 2025 comes to a close, there’s one thing everyone at Cat Depot agrees on—we love cats. 🐾 We love them because no two are alike. Because they’re independent thinkers. Because they insist on equal partnerships. And because they are, quite simply, amazing.

We love kittens, seniors, tripod cats, spicy cats, and even the ones who pretend they don’t need us—but totally do. We love the purring, the lap-warming, and yes… even the shelf-clearing “decluttering.”

If you love cats as much as we do (and we think you might), please consider making a final 2025 donation to Cat Depot and share a photo of your favorite cat in the comments—we’d love to celebrate them with you! 🐱💬

Thanks to supporters like you, 1,393 cats and kittens received lifesaving medical care, safe shelter, and a path to a loving home this year.

Before the clock strikes midnight, will you help us start 2026 ready to save even more lives? Every gift—big or small—makes a difference. 💙

From surviving the streets to living the good life 🐾✨

It’s hard to believe Sergeant Salami and Private Peppercorn were once tiny, hungry kittens with an uncertain future. Alone and vulnerable, they were rescued by a caring neighbor and brought to Cat Depot, Sarasota’s only feline-focused rescue, adoption, and education center—and everything changed.
Today, these bonded brothers are thriving in their forever home, surrounded by toys, cozy beds, scratchers, and endless treats. Their family says they’re sweet, well-behaved, and full of love—a true reflection of the care, socialization, and compassion they received from their Cat Depot foster family.

Their message says it all 💛
“Dear Cat Depot, we are so happy in our new home! Thank you for raising us to be the best boys. We know you would be proud of us!”
— Love, Sergeant Salami & Private Peppercorn

Stories like this are only possible because of supporters like you. Every donation helps rescue kittens from uncertain futures, provide critical medical care and nourishment, and prepare them for loving forever homes. 🐱💕

We’re working to raise $50,000 by December 31 to continue our lifesaving mission in 2026—and thanks to generous supporters, we’re already 72% of the way there!

Your year-end gift ensures we’re ready for the next Sergeant Salami and Private Peppercorn. Every dollar supports lifesaving recovery and care, giving vulnerable cats a true second chance.

🐾 Meet Tina, Cat Depot’s new Meow Mayor! 🐾

Tina has been at Cat Depot since October and she’s more than ready to trade shelter life for a loving forever home.

Full of fun with a truly unique personality, Tina loves to climb, explore new spaces, and soak up all the attention she can get. Looking for a best friend who truly listens?

Tina is fully engaged in every moment—and yes, she’s even been known to play fetch! 🎾 (See the comments for a link to the video)

The shelter environment can be a bit stressful for this princess, so Tina would thrive as the only cat in a home where she can be the center of attention and bond closely with her person.

If you’re ready for a loving, chatty companion who will brighten your days and make you feel truly chosen, come meet Tina. We promise—you’ll fall in love. 💕

Be the Lifeline for Kittens Like Belle – Donate Today!

Belle was just beginning to walk and explore as a five-week-old kitten when she was found injured and cold in a field with her littermates—no mother in sight. One of Belle’s eyes had been severely injured, and infection was already setting in. Without immediate medical care, she wouldn’t have survived.

Care was waiting for her at Cat Depot where Belle received urgent treatment and a chance to heal.

Belle is now thriving in a loving foster home—playful, safe, and full of life. She lost an eye, but her future is bright. 🌟

We’re working to raise $50,000 by December 31 to provide urgent, specialized veterinary care for homeless cats and kittens like Belle.

Thanks to generous supporters, we’re already 59% of the way there.
Your year-end gift ensures we’re ready for the next Belle. Every dollar supports lifesaving surgeries, diagnostics, medications, and recovery care—giving vulnerable cats a true second chance.🐱💉
