I have visited Cat Depot several times for lectures. While there I have observed the careful attention that is given to each kitten/cat in their facility. The facility is very clean and well maintained. The staff is devoted to the kittens/cats in their care and it shows and they work diligently to find "furever" homes for them. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a kitten/cat.

I love volunteering as a Cat Socializer at Cat Depot. This is a wonderful organization and a gorgeous facility that is very well run. Cat Depot is a no kill shelter where the staff works hard to find good homes - and the right homes - for cats and kittens.

I have worked as a foster home for Cat Depot for the past year. As a volunteer in cat rescue for the past 25 years, I have worked with several organizations. NO ONE works harder than Cat Depot to make sure the cats adopted are healthy. The support received from medical staff for foster homes, (even after hours), is incredible. You are not on your own if a foster cat gets sick. It is truly a wonderful place to volunteer or adopt a cat.

We have been volunteering at the Cat Depot for just over two years. Due to our work schedule, we cannot have our own kitty, so when we are available, we foster kittens. The staff at the Cat Depot got us started with a short but very helpful training and from there, we have successfully fostered 11 kittens. The experience has been amazing, we have had so much fun working with the kittens and although it is always hard to say goodbye to them, we know that the Cat Depot staff will ensure good forever homes for them. This is a very good organization and we are happy to be a part of it.

If I were a homeless kitty, Cat Depot is where I would want to be before I found my forever family. The facility is amazing. Resident pods are clean, open and airy with all needs - & some wants - of a cat taken into consideration. Staff are kind, knowledgeable & committed to finding each & every cat not just A home but the RIGHT home. They are also readily available to volunteers with questions or to address issues as they arise. I volunteer as a cat socializer & look forward to every shift.

Cat Depot is a great organization. Volunteered for over a year and will again when I have the time. They are dedicated to saving the lives of cats needing homes. Totally mission oriented. The staff is great, the facility is top-notch, and volunteering is very rewarding. I worked at the front-desk. Would recommend that position for someone people oriented. Very satisfying.
