November 2021 Adoptions
From helping three bonded cats get adopted together to finding homes for some of our most long-term cats ever — our hearts are full of joy from all the adoptions we had in November. Your support makes these stories possible, and last month, you gave happily-ever-afters to 37 shelter cats who needed extra support. Thank you so much for being a champion for our cats!
Farewell From Dawn
I am writing to share some big news with you — after almost 10 years with Cat Town, first as a volunteer, then as the Foster Program Manager and Deputy Director, I am retiring! I have been working closely with our team on a transition plan for several months…
Our First Adoption, and Beyond
In 2011, ten-year-old Lily was brought to the shelter after her caretaker was no longer able to care for her. She had clearly been neglected before then, as she was extremely underweight and her coat was in terrible shape. She was adopted just two weeks later — Cat Town’s first adoption.
Who Did You Save This Year (Part 1)
Every year we have more heartwarming stories than we can possibly share in real time — and some of them stick with us for months. That’s why our staff rounds up some of our favorite untold stories at the end of the year to share with you. Here’s the first batch of cats that you probably don’t know about, but whom you helped save this year.
October 2021 Adoptions
Last month our adoptions spanned every type of cat we support! We found homes for seniors and scared older kittens. Cats who were frustrated, and cats who were afraid. Cats who were sick, and confident cats whose model behavior helped encourage the others to let their guard down.
We worked closely with shelter partners to identify the cats who needed the most help, supported those cats on their journeys with us, and found them homes — keeping in touch with adopters after the fact to ensure they had the guidance they needed to succeed with their new cat companions. We work our hardest every step of the way to give these cats a better future, and give every adopter a new friend who’ll be at their side for all their lives. We can do it because of people like you — so thank you for helping these cats and their people fall in love…
September 2021 Adoptions
As we head into the last months of the year, we’re delighted by the number of Cat Town cats who have already found homes in 2021 — including 31 in September!
Last month 7 bonded pairs got adopted, including senior cats Travis and Oakley. Many of those bonded pairs also came to us as hissy Forgotten Kittens — like Aubrey and Margot, and Donatello and Leonardo — who learned from our volunteers that humans like to pet kittens, and pets are a very good thing! Some of our September adoptions needed medical support, like Gustav and Jaya, before they could be made ready to adopt…
