🚨 Birdie and Georgie have been at Cat Town’s Adoption Center for TOO LONG! And let’s face it, there’s just no nice way to say this: they’re getting chonky.

They’ve been treating the kibble bowls in our Cat Zone as their own personal all-you-can-eat buffet, which they most certainly are NOT.

On multiple occasions, Birdie has been caught with her face FULLY in the bowl, making eye contact with staff — and continuing to chew. The commitment to snacking is impressive.

And while we do provide specialized support for cats with more complex needs, excessive late-night snacking while binge-watching the latest season of Bird TV is not one of them. Be the change you wish to see in the kibble bowl, as they say.

In last week’s Cat Team Meeting, our Program Director, Dilara, finally said what everyone was thinking: “They're both expanding.” Harsh, but who are we if we can’t be honest? 👀

To make matters worse, Georgie WON'T. STOP. TALKING. about how good all this food is. This young adult has a lot to say, especially when he first arrives somewhere new. Thankfully his howling does get better with time. Eventually. Even he runs out of things to say. Eventually.

If you’re a hardcore cat person and none of this scares you, Birdie and Georgie might just be your cats. Let us know. SOON.

Adopt Birdie and Georgie. Before they lose their coveted spot at our Adoption Center, and have to move to a foster home.

ZOOM IN - yes, Sarah is adopted! 😻 She’s going home with a family who adopted another Cat Town cat back in 2023 and recently lost their older cat companion.

Sarah is a friendly 1-year-old cat who was found abandoned in a carrier. She made her way to Cat Town, and that’s where she found her perfect match!

Spencer has known heartbreak — now he’s ready for his second chance ❤️‍🩹

Spencer was adopted as a kitten 11 years ago. When his person passed away, he lost his whole world. We got him into one of our foster homes, and learned he is a gentle, tenderhearted companion.

Spencer purred for head rubs — but something still wasn’t quite right. Spencer had a persistent cough. We soon learned he had asthma and a partially collapsed lung.

Today, Spencer is feeling better. He loves to quietly watch his own reflection in his water bowl, leaps after his toys, and is mesmerized by shadows dancing across the walls.

Spencer does have medical needs. He’s currently working on inhaler training to manage his asthma. (If you haven’t used an inhaler with a cat before, we’re happy to show you how. It’s a fantastic, transferable skill to add to your resume.)

Cat Town exists for vulnerable cats like Spencer. He has never felt more ready for his second chance. No cat should be overlooked, regardless of their story.

Cat Town alum Crowley (formerly Tristan) was adopted back in 2015, and he has some exciting news: he’s a Spanish cat now! Crowley and his family moved to Valencia in 2023, and he’s doing great. His family recently reached out with an update, and Crowley sent a thank you to our staff and wonderful volunteers for all the work that goes into helping cats like him!

We’re so happy to hear that Crowley is still thriving with his people more than a decade after being adopted. We love hearing from Cat Town alumni, no matter how many years have passed! Have a Cat Town alumni story to share? We’d love to hear from you! Visit www.cattownoakland.org/share-your-story or tell us about your adopted cat in the comments 💌

🐾 Cece is up for adoption! At 12 years old, Cece knows exactly what she wants: quality time with her favorite people, plenty of affection, and your undivided attention. Cece is also our Cat of the Month!

This tortie lovebug will gaze directly into your eyes, and remind you with a little meow that your phone or laptop really can wait. She’ll greet you, follow you around the house, and lounge beside you — or preferably on your chest! Her foster describes her as “a lover through and through.”

As a senior, Cece has a couple of health needs to monitor. She has mild heart disease that currently requires no medication or diet changes. But her wholehearted companionship makes one thing clear: in her eyes, her person is the most important being in the world. Could that be you?

Meet Cat Town's 2026 Co-Mayors! After a distinguished term marked by naps, photo ops, and absolutely no official responsibilities, Mayor Jojo is preparing to leave office. Her successors, Shiru and Toncatsu, are ready to take over.

As Cat Town Mayor there are no meetings to attend. No ribbon cuttings. No policy briefs. In fact, there are no duties whatsoever. This year, that proud tradition continues with our new Co-Mayors. Read all about Shiru and Toncatsu's path to office on our blog:

Donating to Cat Town can help cats, and come with some political perks!

Cirrus, Nimbus, Gazelle, and Blaze are just a few of the cats who have found a home so far this month! Brothers Nimbus and Cirrus are a sweet, social pair who needed a new home after their guardian moved away. They found a safe space to land at Cat Town, and just a few weeks later, they found their person.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we celebrate all the cats adopted in October!
