Case Managers are volunteers who have significant experience with undersocialized cats, and are adept at offering both practical advice and emotional support to a cat guardian when they need it most.

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). Her previous jobs have ranged from managing the art collection at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive to Adoption Specialist at ARF…
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.
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.
