Sarasota’s Cat Depot Rescues Cats

cat-depot [1]Cat Depot Saves 12 Cats In Large Hoarding Case.

Cat Depot is helping with one of the largest hoarding situations in the country as nearly 700 cats were seized from Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary, outside of Gainesville, Florida.

Cat Depot accepted 12 cats from Helping Hands Rescue by way of Operation Catnip, freeing up Helping Hands to take a dozen cats from Haven Acres. “This is a team effort,” said Executive Director, Shelley Thayer. “No one organization can handle 550 cats. This is a great example of how organizations in the state of Florida can work together for the benefit of the animals.”

All 12 cats were facing euthanasia when they were rescued and many have long and heartbreaking stories. But, that’s all about to change. Come visit the charming dozen at Cat Depot today. They are all hoping for love.

The Humane Society of the United States, working with Alachua County Animal Services, PetSmart Charities, the Alachua Humane Society and The Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida, are seeking help with approximately 550 cats remaining. 

At an all-time high with over 150 cats and kittens, Cat Depot, is a rescue, adoption, education and resource center dedicated to helping abandoned, homeless and injured cats and kittens with medical care, food and love.
