Summer School... in December!
Summer may be long over, but at Cat Town, Summer School is still in session! Seeing the enormous influx of cats at Oakland Animal Services earlier this year, we strategized with their staff to find a way to help the greatest number of at-risk cats and kittens. Summer School was our solution.
Laszlo is on His Way Home
The day after I first met 8-year-old Laszlo at the shelter, all the cats in his section of the shelter went into quarantine for two weeks. I couldn’t visit him, but I couldn’t get him off my mind. I’d peek in the window to his room — and he’d see me and meow with everything he had. He couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t just come in to say hi.
Who Did You Save This Year (Part 3)
Cat Town’s community is some of the best around, so we’re wrapping up the year with more of our team’s favorite adoptions from 2022! Thank you for helping make these stories possible by supporting our work.
Bali and Ceres
When I think of what donations can make possible at Cat Town, I think of Bali and Ceres. Their adoption is still one of my favorites, because it probably wouldn’t have happened anywhere else.
Poe Needs a Hero
This year, Cat Town has helped 139 scared, stressed, and undersocialized shelter cats and kittens. Before the year ends, I hope to get that number even higher, so we can help Poe. This tiny tuxedo hisses and growls whenever people approach him. But he’s not mean — he’s just telling us that he’s afraid.
November 2022 Adoptions
Cooler weather may be here, but November kept us cozy with heart-warming adoptions. Some of these cats spent only a few hours in our care, while others took more than a year of perseverance to find their perfect match. No matter how long they need, the magic of Cat Town means our cats get the gift of time while they wait for their home sweet homes.
