We sat down with Ann Marie Itamura, Cat Town volunteer and 2023 T-Shirt design contest winner, to learn more about her craft and her involvement in the community.
July 15 is National Pet Fire Safety Day, a day to raise awareness on how to prevent and protect people and pets from fires at home. Emergencies can strike anyone at any time, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and prepare for as many steps of the way as you can.
With June, summer got into full swing — and so did our adoptions! We had 32 wonderful cats find homes, including Forgotten Kittens, seniors, cats with medical needs (including FIV), and plenty of cats who’d been stressed in their shelter cages and needed a change of environment.
For cats, socialization is a spectrum. On one end, you have extremely friendly cats who run up to greet total strangers. On the other end, you have feral cats who see people as problems to be avoided. In the middle, you have cats who haven’t made up their minds about people yet.
Each cat that comes to Cat Town has their own personality, and their own unique needs — they may require months of patience to let their guard down, daily medication, or maybe just someone to help them unleash their silly side through plenty of playtime.
