Earlier this week, a Home Depot in South Carolina made national news after revealing plans to evict a kindly stray cat which had been living in the store for the last 13 years. But after the decision sparked outrage and calls for boycott among animal-lovers, the home-improvement chain has had a change of heart....
Although the friendly feline, named Depot, has been a well-liked fixture for more than a decade, greeting guests as they shopped, management at the Bluffton store said the cat had begun triggering security alarms at night -- so it had to go.
As word got out that Depot was being evicted, customer Daniel Goodell led a charge to convince the store to allow her to stay. He launched a petition on change.org, receiving more than 1,500 signatures.
"The cat did nothing to management, and if the cat is put into a shelter she'll be destroyed due to her age," wrote Goodall.
