09/01-10/02 - Cat Depot Art Contest

Help us celebrate Cat Depot’s 23rd Anniversary by entering the Cat Depot Art Contest — a fun opportunity to get creative, celebrate animals, and share why they are so important to our lives. Create an original art piece that showcases the special ways animals make a difference in our world, using any artistic medium. Your artwork could highlight how pets enrich our lives, how service animals help people, an animal that has accomplished something amazing, or simply why animals deserve our kindness and care.

The 2026 Cat Depot Art Contest is almost here! Beginning September 1, students in grades K–12 can show off their creativity with this year’s theme, “Animals Make a Difference.”
