Bottle Babies April 16, 2021 | Cat Depot Foster Blog I started my foster experience up north, in Pennsylvania.  The local S.P.C.A. reached out to me one day while I was visiting.  I recently lost my own cat of 20 years, so I was just there looking around.  I had never heard of kitten fostering, but the employee on duty explained the details of their program.  I considered it for a bit and went back to them and got started!  I will never forget my first bottle baby, named Baby, of course.  No tail, maybe 6oz., single, sick and a purr bucket!  Wh ..read more

Bo and Titan: A Journey From Fear to Foster April 1, 2021 | Cat Depot Foster Blog Titan – Before Foster Titan – After Foster Bo – Before Foster Bo – After Foster Bo and Titan’s story began November 25, 2020, when they were transferred to Cat Depot from another shelter. Not much is known about them prior to coming to Cat Depot, other than they were found wandering together. We can guess that they had lived with someone as they were both microchipped, but unfortunately their chips were never registered so they could not be reunified with their owner. Despite ..read more

From TNVR to Fostering - How did I get here? March 1, 2021 | Cat Depot Foster Blog I have been a foster parent for Cat Depot for probably 7 years. My story began when I contacted Cat Depot for help TNVR-ing a cat colony on Siesta Key. Cat Depot really helped guide me in best practices for maintaining community cat populations. In the end, between Cat Depot and ARC, we were able to spay and neuter more than 20 cats and kittens!  I ended up with 10 kittens living in my little bathroom at one time, along with one mom, Bimini (pictured left). Bimini had at least 5 of her own k ..read more

Why do we foster? February 1, 2021 | Cat Depot Foster Blog We both love cats, and always had at least one (sometimes two or three) from when we got married in 1970 until we retired in 2008.  Since retirement, we’ve travelled a lot and lived in different countries. We now have a home in Sarasota, and normally spend the winter months there; but our summers are based in the UK, so it is no longer possible for us to have a cat of our own.  In 2016 we spotted a Cat Depot stall outside Whole Foods.  After talking to the Cat Depot representative and  explaining our ..read more

Andy January 7, 2021 | Cat Depot Foster Blog We got Andy as a foster when he was 8 weeks old. He appeared to have a development problem of some sort; he was lethargic, weak and did not walk, he simply sat in the corner and would stare into space and very slowly moved his head from side to side. He acted more like a 4 week old kitten. He was sleeping a lot more than other foster kittens we have had over the years. We set him up in our second bathroom with a comfy bed and loads of toys, including a ball with a bell in it. On the first night, we heard the bell move a little bit ..read more
