Writing Contest

Students are invited to write a short story, poem, play, comic book, or other type of writing. Submissions can be about a personal pet, a famous animal, how to care for a pet, a pet hero, a story about animal kindness, or any other positive animal-related piece. This can include how pets are beneficial, how service animals help people, or an animal that has done something amazing!

Public Education and Family Activities

Cat Depot believes in treating every cat with humane kindness, love, and care. We also know that children and adults who learn to extend kindness and care towards animals are more likely to treat other people with respect. This ongoing mission is shared with children and adults in the community through a variety of educational opportunities for all ages – school visits, field trips, tours, summer camp, and even birthday parties.
