Cello Serenade

Spend your Saturday evening relaxing with our rescue cats and enjoying live music performed by local cellist, Susanna Porte. This special event allows guests to wander through our Adoption Center as Susanna performs classical, modern, and a few festive seasonal pieces. A self-serve tea bar will be open for enjoyment, and guests may bring their own non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Music will be played from 6:30-7:30pm, with time to interact with our adoptable cats before and afterward.

Susanna has performed extensively with orchestras and chamber groups throughout Greater Boston and the San Francisco Bay Area. She is an avid cat-rescue advocate and cat lover who has supported Cat Town’s work for the past 6 years.

This event is for ages 12+.

TNR 101
with Full Circle Cats

Come learn how to TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) community cats in your backyard and neighborhood with the Full Circle Cats team! In this free, in-person beginner's workshop, you'll learn all the steps to get started doing TNR — including how to use a humane cat trap, the necessary steps to prep cats for surgery and recovery, and more. 

As kitten season winds down here in the Bay, this is the best time to get your neighborhood cats fixed and ear tipped to prevent an influx of kittens in the spring. A few trapping hours prevents kitten showers! 

ADVANCED TNR
with Full Circle Cats

Already comfortable with the basics of TNR? Do you want to learn how to use a drop trap, selective trapping, and how to get the trap savvy cats at your colony?

Join the Full Circle Cats team and learn the not-so-basics of trapping and TNR for community cats. This free hands-on workshop will cover advanced trapping techniques, unconventional trapping circumstances, and special traps. While prior experience is not required for this class, it is strongly recommended that participants have some knowledge of TNR basics and have successfully trapped cats before.

CALM CATS & YOGA MATS

Find serenity with mindful yoga in the uplifting and calming presence of our Cat Zone cats! Join instructor Marlo, owner of Banana Yoga, for a relaxing class tailored for adults 18+ and suitable for all levels. Marlo's teaching focuses on breathing into the experience in our bodies in order to release deeper tension. Doors open at 7pm, class starts at 7:10pm. Register below to reserve your spot!

Calm Cats & Yoga Mats will return in the new year!

Game Night

Come enjoy a playful night of games with Cat Town's finest felines! Board games and card games are provided and are most suitable for ages 7+. Guests are welcome to bring their own games, or just bring themselves! During this time, guests have open access to our Cat Zone, cat toys, and our library of games. To maintain a happy space for our cats, and create a joyful experience for our guests, we limit our guest count to 12 people at a time. Register below to reserve your spot!

Kittens on the Green

Subpar Mini Golf and Cat Town are hosting Kittens on the Green! Join us to meet adoptable kittens and play mini golf, with half the proceeds supporting our rescue work.

Since tee times are expected to sell out quickly, we strongly encourage you to book your mini golf reservation in advance. Donations are suggested, but not required. We hope to see you there!

Paw n Draw

Grab your favorite sketch pad and put your life-drawing skills to the test! If you're a fan of drawing, a fan of cats, or better yet, a fan of both, we've got the perfect night for you. The quiet sounds of sketching intrigue our cats, so be warned — they just may try to help out with your artistic creation.

This event is BYO art supplies, but we'll provide ballpoint pens, pencils, and crayons you can use. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase from the cafe.

Cat Toy Workshop

Hosted by Rock Paper Scissors Collective

Are you tired of boring toys that don't measure up to your cat's unique personality and talents? Join Cat Town and Rock Paper Scissors for a cat toy making workshop! Learn how to make pom poms, cat puzzles, toys that spring, and more — all from household and upcycled materials!

All funds raised by this event will support Cat Town and our co-hosts, Rock Paper Scissors Collective. No experience needed, all ages are welcome to participate. All materials will be provided.
