SATURDAY MAR 14, 2015 |

With heavy hearts, Cat Depot recently said goodbye to their caped crusader, Mighty Lou, "spokespurrson" for special needs cats, and best friend. His mighty spirit will remain alive in the hearts of everyone whose lives he touched. The Mighty Lou Memorial Fund has been established in his memory to carry on his mission of helping special needs cats and the Friends Like Me program at Cat Depot. And, a room at Cat Depot will be dedicated in Mighty Lou's honor. Friends Like Me is a Cat Depot Program to provide emergency medical care and treatment to Cat Depot cats and kittens who are sick, injured or have chronic illnesses, such as diabetes. Mighty Lou was a special needs cat with diabetes. With the help of his doting mom, he was able to overcome his disabilities, and he became the "spokespurrson" for Cat Depot’s Friends Like Me program. Mighty Lou was an internet sensation and local celebrity with his own Facebook page and weekly blog.
