Why Alternative Placement = Success
To ensure that we give every possible misunderstood cat the opportunity to find a home, we frequently take chances on cats who appear unadoptable in a shelter cage — and on rare occasion, we encounter feral cats who don’t actually want to live in a home with people.
February 2023 Adoptions
In January, we had a whopping 42 adoptions, and in February, we pushed ourselves even further with 43 adoptions in just 28 days! We're thrilled that so many cats found great homes, and we're especially glad because so many of these cats wouldn't have found support anywhere else but Cat Town.
January 2023 Adoptions
We started the new year off with a bang — and 42 adoptions! We’re so grateful to everyone who donated, shared our social media posts, and rooted for our cats from all corners of our community, because your support is what got these cats home.
December 2022 Adoptions
What better way to end the year than by finding homes for plenty of deserving cats? Last month you helped us do just that for 41 lucky cats — including 6 kittens from our new adoption area at the Rockridge Pet Food Express!
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.
