Mission
The Cat Depot has been organized to provide protection, shelter, help, relief, comfort, care and sanctuary for house cats, feral cats, kittens and cats with special needs. The shelter offers them stability, regular meals, medical rehabilitation and the best possible care and refuge they may have likely ever known. Our mission is to find loving homes for these rescued cats through adoption.
Program accomplishments
- Cat Depot operates a premier free-roaming cat rescue,shelter and a full-service feline-only veterinary clinic in Sarasota, Florida. The organization rehomes over 1300 relinquished or stray cats and kittens into loving homes each year. Upon intake, all cats are given a thorough exam, assessing their physical and mental well-being. The cats are treated for any health or behavioral problems they may have and then readied for adoption.Cat Depot is proud to share the following highlights and accomplishments:OrganizationalIn 2024 SRQ Magazine readers voted Cat Depot as the Best Non-Profit - Bronze, Best Animal Non-Profit -Silver, Best Pet Angel during the Storms - Silver, and Best Local Veterinarian - Platinum. Cat Depot hosted other local non-profit organizations such as Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, Inc., Easter Seals Southwest Florida, Humane Society of Manatee County, and FLSARC, offering them a variety of programs from career informaton sessions to hands-on visitor tours.Cat Depot welcomed 6,850 guests in 2024.By the close of 2024, Cat Depot welcomed 201 volunteers, primarily fosters, who generously donated over 22,000 hours of service.Cat Depot has continued to train all current employees in Fear Free practices. Fear Free helps professionals deliver better care to the animals they provide for. Fear Free mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them.Adoption & RescueThe shelter found homes for 1,115 cats and kittens in 2024 including 704 kittens and 362 adults. The shelter rescues hundreds of cats for municipal animal services agencies annually. In 2024, 69 cats and kittens were admitted to Cat Depot from such agencies.The rate of return of adopted cats remained steady (4.7%). This can be greatly attributed to the additional time that the adoption counselors spend with the adoptors prior to adoption as part of the appointment only policy.A continued emphasis was placed on Pet Retention Services helping keep cats in their home so Cat Depot can help with more homeless cats. Cat Depot received 850 owner surrender requests in 2024. Due to the work of staff, 71 cats were able to be diverted from entering the shelter.In 2024, Hurricanes Debby, Helene and Milton impacted our region, prompting Cat Depot to assist in several emergency efforts. During this time, Cat Depot partnered with Florida State Animal Response Coalition (FLSARC, the Florida Association of Animal Welfare Organizations (FAAWO)and Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to rescue and care for 20 dogs from Hamilton County post Hurricane Debby; provided shelter for multiple cats from a Franklin County animal shelter during Hurricane Helene; and offered housing and support to St. Francis Animal Rescue of Venice during Hurricane Milton. During the three-week dog rescue project, Cat Depot transformed their Community Center into a temporary dog kennel.The Working Cat Program was established in 2020 as a way to help reduce unnecessary euthanasia of feral cats at Sarasota County Animal Services. 91 cats found a second chance at life via this program in 2024. These cats are not able to be accepted into a conventional indoor adoption program and are placed into outdoor "homes" such as barns, warehouses, plant nurseries, farms, etc. to "work" with pest management and control.Cat Depot receives regular, on-going donations of various shelter supplies. Theseinclude bags of dry and cans of wet food, litter and litter boxes, toys, carriers,scratching posts, blankets, water fountains, feeding systems and bowls.
