Cat Depot reached out to assist in the care of 34 cats confiscated by Manatee County Animal Services last week from a possible hoarding situation at Napier’s Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary.
Emergency sheltering has been set up for the rescued felines at Cat Depot. The 34 cats were transferred from Manatee Animal Services on Friday, February 7, 2014 by Cat Depot's Emergency Response Team. It was an amazing effort by volunteers and staff. By closing time, every kitty was soundly sleeping, exhausted from the day.
