Community Outreach
Kids 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.
Reading to Rescues
On Sunday mornings, young readers are paired with a cat in one of our cozy cat rooms. Children bring or choose a favorite book and read aloud at their own pace while a curious kitty lounges nearby listening to the story.
Some cats may curl up beside readers. Others may play, purr, or quietly nap while listening. Every session is unique — and every cat makes a wonderful reading buddy.
