Meet Cat Town's Adoption Coordinator
Get ready to meet Cat Town’s very first Adoption Coordinator, Genevieve Cottraux! Genevieve has volunteered and worked in animal welfare since 2009, at organizations like the East Bay SPCA, Cat Town, and Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF).

March 2022 Adoptions
The days are getting longer and warmer, and as we welcome spring with open arms, we also celebrate plenty of adoptions! In March, 25 cats with nowhere to go but Cat Town found great homes — including seniors, scared kittens, sick cats, and more.
February 2022 Adoptions
With 29 adoptions under our belt in February, we’re excited to tell you about a few of the wonderful cats that you helped. We had 7 bonded pairs find dreamy homes together, 11 Forgotten Kittens who discovered their courage, 6 senior cats who swept their adopters off their feet, and 12 cats who needed medical care and found happy homes upon recovery.
Meet Cat Town's Program Manager
Dilara Göksel Parry has been an integral player in Cat Town’s work over the years — first as a consultant, and more recently as our part-time Cat Care Coordinator. Now as our first ever Program Manager, Dilara oversees all the work we do for cats in need of support — both at our Adoption Center and in our foster network.
Join Team Shailene
When a cat needs above-and-beyond help, we can step in because you support our work. Right now, Shailene could use a helping hand.
January 2022 Adoptions
We’re starting the year off strong, thanks to people like you believing that cats who struggle in a shelter cage can still make incredible companions, if given the chance. You help our cats find a place where they can feel safe — whether it’s in a foster home or at our Adoption Center — and that feeling of security allows them to show everyone how wonderful they truly are.
