Cat Town is a Lifeline for Seniors Like Tony
Most senior cats who find themselves in a shelter cage share some variation of the same story.
One day, their person dies. They lose the only friend they’ve ever known — and now that they’re older, nobody wants to care for them. The city shelter steps in to keep them from becoming homeless, but with so few resources, the shelter can’t make up for the loss of the cat's family, their home, and even the little comforts in life — a window to look out of, a bed, a favorite toy.
It takes an exceptional cat, like Tony, to rise above these circumstances.
November 2018 Adoptions
Helping senior cats like Kitsy, Baji, and Yoshi is always a priority at Cat Town, but it’s extra special to us during November’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Thank you to everyone who helped our adopted seniors find their way home!

Dr. Bruce's Prescription for the Perfect Work-Life Balance
My name is Bruce, and I am a cat. While my fellow felines spend their days lazing around and looking cute, I am doing lifesaving work. In fact, I’m in the process of saving one life in particular: my mom’s.
A scraggly, FIV+ cat just asking to be loved
Eddie came to us as a shabby foster cat. He had a gum infection that made it painful for him to groom, and because of his FIV, and the severity of his condition, it was going to take a while to get him back into good health. Over the next several months Cat Town helped us cycle through medication, vet visits, and teeth removals until Eddie was out of pain. It took removing all but his last two teeth before he showed improvement, but after months of medical care and, I'd like to think, our boundless love for Eddie, he finally stabilized.
Volunteer of the Month: Shelley G.
This Thanksgiving holiday, we’re especially grateful for our incredible group of volunteers, who day in and day out help keep Cat Town running. This month w’re shining the spotlight on Shelley G., a local artist and one of our regular volunteers who helps out in the Adoption Center Studios, socializing our hardest-to-place cat population. When she’s not at Cat Town, she enjoys spending time in her art studio with her two rambunctious cats, Lenny and Squiggy.
