Mama Mia was relinquished to Cat Depot because her owner is moving. She's a beautiful, 6 year old snowshoe mix. While we love her here at Cat Depot, this is not the ideal situation for her - she's a plus sized kitty and needs a home of her own to run around in. Come meet her today! #rescuecatsofinstagram #rescuepetsofinstagram #sarasotaadopts #startastoryadopt #felinefriday #maddiesfund (at Cat Depot)

$1,000 Grant Available to Animal Rescue Organizations

“Maddie's Fund is a family foundation founded in 1994 by Workday co-founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl, who have endowed the Foundation with more than $300 million. Since then, they have awarded more than $172 million in grants toward increased community lifesaving, shelter medicine education, and pet adoptions across the U.S. The Duffields named Maddie's Fund after their Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie, who always made them laugh and comforted them during stressful business times when Dave was launching a startup software company. Maddie was with Dave and Cheryl from 1987-1997 and continues to inspire them today.” x
