The city shelter’s intake for cats has risen 132% since we opened our Adoption Center Doors 13 years ago – and it’s risen 55% in the past two years alone. Last year, we took in more cats than any other year in our history — all while prioritizing the highest-risk and overlooked cats: sick cats. Stressed cats. Senior cats.

Having more funding every month means we can meet the growing demand for our lifesaving services and take bigger chances to can support more cats with complicated medical and behavior needs.

Your donations support the sick, stressed, and overlooked shelter cats who most need intervention, but are often the least likely to receive it.

Cat Town was established to save elderly, stressed, sick, and injured shelter cats facing euthanasia. In focusing on these overlooked animals, we’ve helped reduce the euthanasia rate at Oakland Animal Services, Oakland’s municipal shelter, by more than 70% since 2011. Our mission is to transform the standard approach to saving shelter cats, and reduce euthanasia nationwide. Your support makes this work possible!
