At Cat Town, every cat matters. 💛
We focus on the cats at the highest risk in shelters — the ones who look aggressive because they’re scared, or frozen because they’re afraid. The ones who are sick or injured and need time to heal. The ones who’ve been passed over, time and again.
For these cats, Cat Town is more than a place — it’s a community where they find safety, love, and the chance to thrive.
Your support makes this possible. Help us give more cats the dignified lives they deserve. Donate today at cattownoakland.org. 💛✨

Meet Melina, our December Cat of the Month! 🐾 This affectionate #seniorcat loves nothing more than a warm lap, gentle pets, and purring her heart out. The moment you step into the room, her loud, happy purrs will fill the air — and she’ll keep them going right through head scratches and snuggles. 💛
Melina is the ultimate low-maintenance companion. Her foster says, “While she has some medical needs, Melina is incredibly easygoing, affectionate, and ready to give you unconditional love. She’ll confidently settle into any space and make it her home.”
Melina is currently receiving treatment to manage arthritis in her back legs, and Cat Town will cover the cost of her care for life. She’s fine with other calm cats, like her foster friend Matilda, but would also thrive as the only cat in a peaceful, cat-experienced home.

Vesper’s got skills! This treat-loving, clever cat has mastered #clickertraining with tricks like rolling over, laying down, and even high-fives! 🧠💪
So, what is clicker training? Cat School Cat Training says, “Clicker training is a form of positive reinforcement training. You mark your cat’s desirable behavior and then reward it.” It’s not just fun — it helps build confidence, teach impulse control, tackle behavioral challenges, and deepen the bond between cats and people.
For Vesper, #clickertraining is perfect to keep his sharp mind engaged and playful energy thriving. 🐾

Meet Orchid, a sweet but shy girl who's ready to bloom in a loving home! 🌸 She came to Oakland Animal Services as a timid stray, but with gentle pets and a slow approach, she warms up fast — soon enough, she’ll be snuggling in your lap!
Orchid needs an adopter who will celebrate her milestones as she blossoms into the lovebug she truly is. As one staff member said, “She’s a softie underneath it all!” Volunteers agree, with one sharing, “Orchid stayed under the play structure, but loved being petted in her safe spot.” Another added, “Gave some love to my girl Orchid and got purrs and biscuits in return!”
She’ll thrive in a calm home where everyone is rooting for her, and would love to have a feline friend by her side. 🌼 Ready to help Orchid bloom? Fill out our Adoption Inquiry Form at the link below! Not ready to adopt? Share this post and help us find her the perfect match!

His previous foster says, “Goose is the biggest lovebug around! He’ll quickly become your best friend, bringing lots of joy and cuddles to your home. His new family will be so lucky to have him!”
