🚨 URGENT: Cat Depot desperately needs KMR kitten formula! 🍼

Kitten season may be winding down in other parts of the country, but here in Florida, our tiniest residents still need us!

Right now, Cat Depot is caring for 67 kittens, and that number continues to grow. Many of these little ones rely on kitten milk replacer (KMR) for the nutrition they need to grow strong.

💙 KMR formula is our most urgent wishlist need right now. While other wishlist items are always appreciated, formula is what we need most.

Can you help us keep our tiniest kittens fed? Please visit our kitten wishlist and send KMR directly to Cat Depot. Every donation helps us provide the nourishment these little ones need to survive and thrive.

🛒 Shop our wishlist and send KMR to our kittens today: https://bit.ly/47NL6Fk

Thank you for helping us give our tiniest residents the best possible start!

🐾 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: LINDA 🐾

For Linda, volunteering at Cat Depot was always part of the plan. After retiring from teaching, she knew exactly where she wanted to spend her time — helping cats and educating the community.

Over the past 2 years and more than 350 volunteer hours, Linda has served as an Adoption Assistant, Education Assistant and Ambassador, and now also helps with our Community Food Bank.

As an Education Assistant, Linda has taken cats on field trips to nursing homes and schools, creating special connections between people and cats. She’s also given tours, participated in Reading with Rescues, and helped adopters find the right feline match.

Her teaching background has remained a big part of her volunteer work. As Linda says, “Once a teacher, always a teacher!” And we couldn’t agree more. 📚🐱

One memory that has stayed with Linda involved a sweet ginger cat who was known for being standoffish. Through gentle conversation and patience, Linda helped him relax enough to purr, accept pets and calmly transition to a larger pod.

Sometimes, making a difference starts with something as simple as a gentle voice. 💕

We are so grateful for Linda and the compassion, experience, and kindness she brings to every cat and person she meets. Thank you, Linda, for all that you do for Cat Depot! 🐾❤
