The shelter rescues hundreds of cats for municipal animal services agencies annually. In 2022, 422 cats and kittens were admitted to Cat Depot from such agencies.The rate of return of adopted cats remained steady and lower than the previous year(3.4%). This can be greatly attributed to the additional time that the adoption counselors spend with the adoptors prior to adoption as part of the appointment only policy.A continued emphasis was placed on Pet Retention Services helping keep cats in their homes so Cat Depot can assist with more homeless cats. Cat Depot received 989 owner surrender requests in 2022.

Thirty-two cats found a second chance at life via this program in 2022. These cats are not able to be accepted into a conventional indoor adoption program and are placed into outdoor "homes" such as barns, warehouses, plant nurseries, farms, etc. to "work" with pest management and control.Cat Care ClinicThe public Cat Care Clinic has treated thousands of cats and kittens since opening its doors in 2014.

Students benefitted from in-person, hands-on programming via field trips to Cat Depot, classes taught in school rooms and visits to junior high school afterschool pet clubs. Educational programs were offered at the discretion of each school with a small fee being charged to cover the cost of staff time and cat transport. Cat Depot's community programming included visits to five local nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the year. These visits were offered on a monthly basis at no charge to the facility. We are proud to offer seniors in our community the opportunity to experience the love of a cat when they can no longer have one themselves.
