With summer coming to a close, we’re rounding out the season with 25 adoptions in August! Many of these cats came to us shy and scared. Some were shut-down at the shelter and needed room to decompress. Others needed help building up their confidence and coming out of their shells. At Cat Town, we know patience goes a long way, and we’re willing to give these cats the time and care they need to get ready for their people.
This month, we’re highlighting some of our favorite transformation stories. Thank you for helping us take these cats from fearful to forever friends. Your support gets more cats out of cages and into safe spaces where their wonderful personalities can shine!
Found in an auto body shop with her 9 kittens, Cisaloo was shy and fearful at her foster home with Feral Change. She wasn’t playing and hid from her caretakers. She came to Cat Town to build up her confidence with the help of some cat buddies, and it worked! Cisaloo found friends and — most importantly — found her person, who is ready to shower her with love!
Cedar and Oak came to the shelter from a household of 10 cats. Shut-down in their cages, they needed some space to decompress, and after getting in a foster home, their sweet selves began to emerge, spending their days snuggled up to each other. Cedar and Oak aren’t moving until September, but we’re so excited to see them going to a good home!
Marietta arrived at the shelter with another cat. However, she began acting aggressively towards him, so she was moved to her own cage. Still feeling very stressed by her environment, she came to Cat Town to find a foster home — and what a difference it made! Marietta charmed her adopter with her lively personality, and the first-time cat owner is excited to have such a happy and playful kitty to bond with.
At the shelter, Annie seemed to want affection, but was too scared to enjoy it. After getting her out of a cage and into our Adoption Center, Annie still felt shy, hiding in cubbies and corners, but we began to see progress as she accepted gentle pets and head scratches. She was only with us for three weeks before her adopter saw the sweet girl beneath the timid exterior and scooped her up. She continues to blossom in her new home with love and patience.
Bamboo came to us from Oakland Animal Services back in April. At the shelter, Bamboo was receptive to some touch, but would hiss and swat when overwhelmed. However, once we got her out of her shelter cage, we began to see her sweet nature come through. Bamboo went from lashing out under stress to playing with other cats at our Adoption Center. Luckily, her new home comes with a cat buddy, and she is doing great acclimating to the space and warming up to her new friend.
