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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
