🐾 This Giving Tuesday, Be a Lifesaver for Homeless Cats and Kittens! 🐾 To make a donation: www.communityconcernforcats.org/help-us/make-a-donation/

These sweet kitties are recovering, wrapped in warm blankets, while their vitals are closely monitored.

We are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to ending the suffering of abandoned and homeless cats. This year, we've seen a heartbreaking rise in friendly cats being abandoned on the streets.

Thanks to your support, last year we:
✨ Found loving homes for 1,200 cats and kittens
✨ Performed 2,300 spays and neuters

✨ Every dollar you give goes directly to saving lives. We have no paid staff, except for our vets and vet techs.

This year, rising medical costs have made our work even more challenging. But with your generosity, we can save even more lives! 💕

Your donations help us:
🐾 Rescue and provide lifesaving medical care for cats in need
🐾 Spay and neuter to prevent countless cats from being born into suffering
🐾 Give every adoptable cat and kitten the chance to find a loving home

Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for being part of our mission. 🐱💖

Adopt Mello! Mello, 2-years-old, was rescued by a kind person at an apartment complex in August, malnourished, starving, and pregnant. Soon after she was rescued, Mello gave birth to 4 kittens whom she attentively cared for until they were weaned. Mello was spayed and vaccinated on October 21 and was not returned outside to fend for herself - she is too sweet-natured and mellow, not feral at all. She has a calm demeanor and deserves a loving home.

Mello would do best as a single cat. She has not been around dogs or other cats (beside her kittens).

If you are interested in providing Mello with a loving forever home, please contact Marilyn (sponsor) at 925-788-4397 or [email protected], and/or Barbara (foster) 240-535-2482. Mello is locating in Contra Costa County, CA.

🌧️🐾 Rainy Days Ahead: Keep Outdoor Cats Safe! 🐾🌧️

With the storm rolling in, community cats will instinctively look for shelter to stay dry and warm. You can help make this easier and safer for them:

🏠 Provide Shelter: A cozy, weatherproof box with straw (not blankets, which retain moisture) can give them a dry place to rest. Open up your garage or shed for them to stay dry.

🚗 Check Under Cars: Cats often hide under vehicles to escape the rain. Always check before you start the engine!

🌿 Secure Existing Hiding Spots: If your porch, shed, or other outdoor space serves as a natural refuge, make sure it’s accessible and waterproof.

🍗Leave out extra wet food for them.

Thank you for caring about cats! ❤️🐾

🌟 Urgent: Loving Fosters Needed for Two Beautiful Souls 🌟

At a community feeding station near a busy distribution center, two breathtaking cats—a long-haired Siamese male and a gentle Snowshoe female—were cruelly abandoned. Witnesses saw a man heartlessly toss three cats from his car before driving away, leaving them in an open field filled with dangers: trucks, coyotes, and no shelter.

Initially TNR’d (Trap-Neuter-Return) and returned to the distribution center, their feeder came daily to care for them. But it quickly became clear—these two were once pets. At just about a year old, they’re incredibly sweet, affectionate, and trusting. They adore being brushed and often seek affection over food.

✨ What They Need:
Foster homes where they can feel safe, loved, and have the chance to find their forever families.

📩 Can you be their foster hero? Please email [email protected] or fill out our foster form: https://form.jotform.com/240841638775163

Adopt Bailey! Born in May 2024, Bailey is a sweet 6-month-old kitten who was rescued from a hoarding situation. He has adapted well and is fantastic with other cats. He loves to play and snuggle his foster siblings, and he seeks pattings from his foster human, gazing at her with his striking golden eyes full of wonder. He is a total purr machine!

Bailey may be adopted as a single kitten, with another cat, or to a home with a friendly resident cat. He would be fine living with well behaved older children.

If you are interested in providing Bailey with a loving forever home, contact Marilyn at [email protected]. Bailey is fostered by Sarah in Contra Costa County, CA.

Adopt Nugget! We can’t believe no one has applied to adopt him yet! Born on 7/23/24, this sweet baby is ready for his perfect forever home! What can we say about this amazing, unique, special boy? He is playful, rambunctious, very social, loves his toys, loves other cats, is getting used to dogs and will follow you all over the house. He is all boy!!!

Nugget’s journey with us started by hissing, spitting and scratching at us any time we approached this poor scared 8 week old kitten. We discovered that he has mild cerebellar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome) as well as some hearing and vision loss which partially explained his extra sensitivity to the world. He was found and trapped all alone at about 8 weeks old, and we do not know how he survived all that time. This guy is a fighter!

He needed a lot of time, patience and love for him to start trusting us and learning to accept love. He now jumps up on your lap for pets, tells you when it’s meal time and plays all day! He is also a heavy sleeper! I am not sure he will ever be a lap cat, but this guy is certainly entertaining and we are so proud of how far he has come!

Nugget may benefit from a playful kitten brother who can give him a run for his money wrestling!

He still needs some special handling and he needs to be accepted for the unique guy he is! He would do best in a home without children.

If you are interested in providing Nugget with a loving forever home, contact Angela at [email protected]. Nugget is being fostered by Rachel in Contra Costa County, CA.

Foster or adopt Lepi! Lepi’s story is one that melts hearts. She appeared one day, out of nowhere, like a little mystery left on my doorstep. She was small, fragile, and so sweet, with soft fur and wide curious eyes that looked up at me. There was no way a tiny cat like her deserved to be left outside, especially with the speeding cars in our neighborhood.

From the first moment, it was impossible not to fall in love with her. She quickly opened up, showing a playful spirit and a deep affection that made me wish I could keep her forever. But reality hit hard, I already have a dog who, no matter how much I tried, just doesn’t get along with cats. My heart sank because I knew this precious little creature couldn’t stay. But I sat down with her outside gave her food and water and love.

A few days later, she disappeared. I searched for her, hoping she was safe, but as days turned into a week, my hope faded. I couldn’t shake the thought of her out there, alone, facing danger on those busy streets. I thought I’d lost her forever, and it broke my heart.

Then, miraculously, she returned. This time, I knew I couldn’t let her go. I brought her inside, despite knowing my dog would be upset. I closed us off in my room, just Lepi and me, and watched her explore her new surroundings with those bright, curious eyes.

Her warmth brought so much peace to my heart. She settled onto my lap, purring as she kneaded little “biscuits” on my leg, her soft fur warming my hands as I pet her. She curled up, resting her head against me as if she knew she was safe and loved.

Lepi is full of life, playful, and affectionate, and all she wants is a safe, warm home where she can finally stay. She deserves a family that can give her the love she so willingly gives. If you’re looking for a companion to brighten your days and fill your heart, please consider adopting or fostering Lepi. She’s waiting for someone to love her just as deeply as she loves in return.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Lepi, contact Suzie at (925) 577-6107. Lepi is located in Contra Costa County, CA.

Adopt Duncan, Katie, and Elizabeth! Born on 9/3/24, these adorable siblings were rescued from the streets around Halloween, hungry and scared. They are now ready for their forever homes, and are best adopted in pairs or to a home with a friendly resident cat so that they have a playmate.

Duncan (male) is a domestic shorthair with intense gold eyes. He is super curious and always the first to ask for attention. He is very playful but also has a chill side, curling up by you for a nap.

Katie (female) is a gentle soul. I was rescued from the streets just prior to Halloween. I have blossomed into an affectionate purr machine. If you are looking for a lap cat, she is your girl!

Elizabeth (female) is gentle and inquisitive, the quieter one of her siblings. She enjoys playing with her siblings and chilling out after a zoomies session.

If you are interested in providing Duncan, Katie, and Elizabeth with a loving forever home, contact Marilyn at [email protected]. They are being fostered by Sarah in Contra Costa County, CA.

Meet Princess Moana and Belle – Bonded Sisters These two lovely sisters, Moana (aka Momo) and Belle, have a story that tugs at the heartstrings. Sadly, their devoted guardian is losing their sight and, with a heavy heart, had to bring them back to us. Momo, with her stunning green eyes and lighter fur, is the smaller of the two. She’s playful and loves to cuddle. Friendly and outgoing, Momo is the kind of cat who will quickly become your little shadow. Belle also has captivating green eyes and is just as gorgeous. She’s slightly more independent but just as loving. She’s a bit of a foodie and adores being brushed and pampered. Just look into their eyes, and you’ll sense their kind souls and gentle nature. They’ve been through a lot, and now they’re looking for a home where they can stay together and find their forever family. If you’re looking to add not just one but two beautiful kitties to your family, Momo and Belle are ready to meet you!
