Cat Depot Critter Camp for Kids!

Cat Depot's Critter Camp is a one week, half-day summer camp for children between the ages of 8 to 12.

Campers learn how to stay safe around cats and dogs, how animals talk with their bodies, and how much love and care a pet requires. We have guest speakers, make cat toys, learn about careers with animals and meet with lots of cats and kittens.
