CAT TOWN BLOG
Volunteer of the Month: Jacqui R.
At any given time, Cat Town typically has about 50 cats in foster homes. An important part of fostering often includes caring for cats with illnesses like ringworm. For those unfamiliar, ringworm is the common name given to a fungal infection of the superficial layers of the skin, hair, and nails. We liken it having athlete's foot - with some easy precautionary measures, it's really very easy to care for a ringworm cat.
KITTEN WIRE: MEET ADOPTABLE KITTENS THIS WEEKEND
OAKLAND — Good news, kitten fans. Several of our adoptable young kitties will be available for adoption at the Bay Area Pet Fair this weekend in Pleasanton. And even more kittens will be accepting visitors at the Cat Town studios.
CATCHING UP WITH CAT TOWN ALUM: ROWAN & REED
Rowan and Reed came to Cat Town in the fall of 2016 from Oakland Animal Services. The pair spent time at home with two of our wonderful fosters, building confidence and learning people can be friendly, fun, and best of all—a source for delicious treats! Eventually they made their way to our Adoption Center, where they continued to grow more confident. Then one day this past July, it happened: they found their person in Emily B. and were adopted!
AUGUST 2017 ADOPTIONS
Another month of exciting adoptions to report! During our Black Cat Adoption Special we sent Mia, Mr. Adorable, and Mimosa home with their families. We also saw long term Cat Zone favorite, Daisy Mae, find her people, and senior cat Woolsey go from fostered to adopted.
If adopting a cat is in your plans for September, be sure to check out our current adoptable cats and email info@cattownoakland.org to inquire.
KITTEN WIRE: JOIN THE FKP FAMILY - ADOPT
CAT TOWN — We are proud to announce that five members of this year's Forgotten Kitten Project are available for adoption!
These kittens were on the shy side when they arrived at Cat Town in July. They didn't have much human interaction in their early, formative weeks. Cat Town's specially trained volunteers and staff worked with them daily, building trust and learning their personalities.
Today we are happy to report they are ready to find their human matches. Could it be you?
Fostering Saves Lives
Foster parents give so much of themselves to the care and well being of our rescue cats and we could not be more grateful for all their incredible work! We asked a few of them to share their experiences and tell us what it's been like helping some of our hardest to place cats find loving homes.
