In this final look back at our most inspiring adoptions of 2024, we’re reminded that no matter how challenging a cat’s journey may be, every one of them deserves — and can find — a loving home with the right care and support.
Who Did You Save This Year (Part 2)
October Adoptions
Last month we saw 41 cats get adopted — seniors, playful kittens, and many cats in need of medical intervention. Some of these cats were reeling after losing their loved ones, others shut down when their new surroundings proved too stressful for them to handle. Some of them, after spending weeks in shelter cages, became defensive. Some bounced back quickly, and some needed extra time to finally feel safe again.
Who Did You Save This Year (Part 1)
When our team looks back at this year’s adoptions so far, we recognize the impact you’ve made on each of the 399 cats who found homes. From overlooked fearful cats to shy and misunderstood seniors, every cat’s successful adoption started with you in our corner, giving us the time, resources, and belief that these cats can be celebrated and deserve a second chance.
Celebrating 10 Years
In October 2014, Cat Town made history by opening America’s first cat cafe, right here in Oakland. We launched this adoption center with a big dream and radical vision: to help older, shy, and sick cats have their chance at adoption, and prove that cats least likely to be adopted could find a home with the right support. In our first year of operating, we saved 467 cats — more cats than in our previous three years of work combined.
