Cat Town was formed by long term volunteers of Oakland Animal Services, Oakland's municipal shelter. We started Cat Town to save the cats most likely to be euthanized because they can't handle the stress of the shelter or are considered "unadoptable" - cats who are shy, stressed, sick or older. We get them into foster homes where they can relax and show their true personalities and get them adopted from there.

Potential adopters are prescreened by phone, then meet cats in their foster homes. If it seems like a good match, there is an adoption application. Adoption fees are $75 for one cat or $100 for a bonded pair
