Cat Depot around town

Our staff is teaching a class at Sarasota’s Suncoast Center for Independent Living on Monday, May 5th, on cat care and behavior. Call 941.351.9545 for information on the Center’s many terrific programs that help people with disabilities live independently and participate fully in society.

Cat Depot was honored to participate in North Shore Animal League’s April 5th visit to Sarasota as part of their “Tour for Life” cross-country campaign, which raises awareness of the plight of shelter pets nationally.

Look for the Cat Depot booth at the “Feline Flair” event coming Saturday, June 28th to the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium. This all-cat, day-long show will feature adoptable cats, seminars, unique vendors, a kids’ art contest, and more. More details as they come!

Cat’sino 2008 hits the jackpot!

The ambiance was MGM Grand Las Vegas. The lights were dimmed, the dice ready to roll, blackjack dealers in place, as the second annual Cat Depot Cat’sino Night event began.  Two hundred twenty gambling enthusiasts were ready to go for broke… for the kitties, of course!

In the foyer a vast array of silent auction items caused quite a stir as the bidding began.  Maybe you wanted a day at the spa, cosmetic surgery, or even a trip to anywhere in the world? Cat’sino 2008 had it all. Twelve lucky raffle ticket holders won gift baskets, with the chocolate and wine baskets being the most desired.

The cuisine was superb, as would be expected from Michaels on East. Trips to the open bar made this event a real “deal.” Best of all, Cat’sino 2008 raised over $60,000 for our furry friends, a remarkable 20% increase in our gross receipts from 2007. Next year, the sky’s the limit!
