Fez, Romeo, Fenway – Aug 2010

Cat Depot provides a safe haven for a wide variety of kittens and cats (100+ of all ages, sizes, breeds, and colors), until they are adopted into loving homes. We house and care for pregnant cats and motherless kittens; abandoned, abused, and neglected cats; stray cats and kittens; relinquished cats; and cats with special needs.

Before selecting a kitty, we ask that you keep in mind that a pet is a lifelong commitment. Cats that reside indoors or in an enclosed outdoor environment live 15–20 years on average, and they want and need to be part of your family that entire time.

Cats of all ages have different needs and adapt best to home environments that meet those needs. Click on the following links to learn more and narrow your search prior to adoption:

• kittens (under 1 year old)
• young adults (1 to 5 years old)
• adults (5+ years old)
• special needs (of all ages)

a final note about adoption

We at Cat Depot are very proud of all the abandoned cats that we have adopted into forever homes in the last several years (since 2004). Much of our success is due to the many kindhearted people who opened up their hearts and homes to our rescued kittens and cats. The numerous cards, letters and photos we have received has kept us updated as to the deep and caring relationships that develops between animal and owner after they leave our shelter. This feedback is greatly appreciated and confirms that what we, and you, do for these deserving felines is all worthwhile.
