Meet Mike! 🐾
This handsome gray tabby is looking for his forever home!

Mike showed up at his foster parents’ house all on his own, and they think he may have been abandoned. Despite it all, Mike has remained the sweetest, most gentle boy. 🐱 He’s about 2 years old, loves belly rubs, enjoys chatting with his humans, and is learning how fun cat toys can be (catnip? Big fan).

Mike is a total cuddle buddy who gets along with other cats and might vibe with a chill dog, too. He’s a mellow guy with so much love to give. 💙

📍 Come meet Mike at PetSmart on Coleman Ave, San Jose!
📩 Contact Kimi at [email protected] for more info.

👉 Note: This is a courtesy listing—Mike is not a 13th St Cat Rescue kitty.

🐾 Updates from 13th St Cats 🐾

We are incredibly fortunate to have amazing volunteers and generous community support. This past year, our focus shifted slightly. The number of kittens we took in has decreased compared to previous years. Instead, we’ve been focusing on the medical needs of community cats.

Through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), we’ve been able to help injured, older, and ill cats who need a break from life on the streets. Our TNR team has been working hard to help the community spay and neuter their stray cats by lending traps, training requesters to safely trap, and securing appointments. We’ve assisted with everything from individual cats (often with a litter of kittens) to large colonies of 15–30 cats.

Unfortunately, the lack of low-cost spay/neuter options has allowed community cat numbers to grow. But thanks to our volunteers and supporters, we’ve been able to make a big impact!

In addition to TNR, we’ve provided critical care for injured and ill cats. Some of the cats we’ve helped suffered from pelvic fractures, broken legs, street wounds, upper respiratory infections, urinary issues, and other ailments. One cat even required a lung lobe removal, the costliest procedure we’ve ever taken on!

This work is more expensive than our usual TNR and kitten rescue efforts, but it has been incredibly rewarding to see these cats recover and thrive.

With Giving Tuesday coming up on Dec 3, we’re asking for your support to continue this vital work. Donations of any amount help us provide medical care and TNR services for cats in need.

❤️ Thank you for being part of this mission and helping us give these cats a second chance!
