Founded: 2005 13th Street Cat Rescue is an all-volunteer animal rescue in San Jose, California. We are dedicated to improving the lives of homeless cats and controlling their population by the use of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). TNR is an internationally-recognized, humane and effective program for reducing the population of stray and feral cats.

In the past three years alone, TNR has contributed to a 25% reduction in the number of cats and kittens entering our local shelters. Our volunteers work with local vets and animal shelters to trap, vaccinate, spay or neuter cats, then return the animals to where they were found. Kittens and cats that can be socialized are taken into foster care by our volunteers and then put up for adoption. All donations to 13th Street Cats help provide food, supplies, spay/neuter, and medical care for homeless cats. For more information on how you can adopt, volunteer, or donate, please visit us at www.13thstcats.org. Thanks to our sponsors and community supporters including: Whole Foods--Blossom Hill, PetSmart, Petco, Andy's Pet Shop, Pet Awareness and Welfare Society for San Jose Animal Care and Services, and many other local veterinarians and local businesses.

🐾 Our Emergency Medical Fund is running low 🐾

This year, we’ve faced an unprecedented wave of cats needing urgent, costly medical care. From GI blockages and severe pneumonia to complex jaw abscesses — and Plum’s life-changing eye removal — we’ve never hesitated to say “YES” to saving a life.

But our emergency fund is nearly depleted.
Without it, the next cat in desperate need might have to wait… and waiting can mean the difference between life and death.

💛 How you can help today:
1️⃣ Donate to rebuild our emergency fund: 13thStCats.org/info/donate
2️⃣ Share this post to help us reach more animal lovers.

Your support ensures we can keep saying “YES” — no matter the cost.

🐾 Meet Chestnut & Calypso – playful sisters ready for forever!

Chestnut (a sweet brown tabby) and Calypso (a petite calico cutie) have been together since birth. Chestnut has always looked out for her little sister, and they truly enjoy each other’s company—snuggling, playing, and climbing like pros. 🧗‍♀️💕

While they’d love to be adopted as a pair, they’d also do well in separate loving homes with plenty of play and attention.

These girls went from unsure to smitten with people in just a few days—and now they’re all about pets, toys, and cozy naps. Their favorite things? Dangly toys, paper strips, plastic bits, and curling up together after playtime.

💎 Meet Topaz – tiny, fearless, and full of fun!

Don’t let her size fool you—Topaz is a spunky little girl with big energy! She’ll chase anything that moves and has a special love for… shoes. 👟

Though smaller than her brother, Spots, she’s the queen of roughhousing and wrestling—and usually wins! After playtime, she’s all cuddles, happiest snoozing on your chest or in your arms. 💕

Topaz is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate—and she’s ready to steal your heart.

😻 Meet Eleanor – the cat with main character energy!

Eleanor is full of life and loves attention. Every morning, she zips around your feet asking for food and pets—her foster recommends shuffling until the food bowl is filled! 😅

Once a backyard mama, she’s now retired from mom duty and ready to enjoy the good life with a forever family. The spotlight is hers now. 💖

She’s playful, smart, and affectionate—loves wand toys, feathers, catnip, and even electronic toys. She gets along with other cats and enjoys indoor/outdoor life.

Eleanor is a one-of-a-kind cat with so much love (and energy!) to give.

Our wish list is always a wonderful way to help, but Chewy Gift Cards give us the flexibility to fill in the gaps. These thoughtful donations truly make a difference. 💌

🖤 Meet Selena – sleek, curious, and full of personality!

Selena is a stunning black beauty with striking green eyes. She’s independent, bold, and endlessly curious—always exploring her world with confidence.

She loves feathery wand toys and anything that crinkles. Playtime is her thing, but she’s also happy doing her own thing and observing the world like the cool cat she is.

Selena is good with other cats and ready to find a forever home that appreciates her sassy, slinky charm. 🐾

🌞 Celebrate California Adopt a Pet Day with Kiki! 🐾

Kiki is a smart, persistent little cat who won over her fosters by showing up in their yard, meowing for food and pets. Eventually, she brought her four kittens too, knowing it was a safe place. 💛

She’s cautious at first, but once she trusts you, she loves to be near people and other cats. She enjoys sunbathing, a good breeze, wand toys, and cozying up beside you—purring the whole time. Not quite a lap cat, but a sweet and loyal companion.

Kiki knows “sit” and “look,” responds to training, and might even enjoy puzzle toys. Her fosters adore her, and now she’s ready for a forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and truly at ease.

🐾 Meet Squeak & Blaze – the perfect playful pair!

Squeak is a vivacious calico with a signature “squeak” meow. She’s a fearless wand toy hunter who proudly shows off her catches, and while she’s not quite a lap cat (yet), she loves pets, rubs against your legs, and sleeps snuggled up beside you—sometimes even curled around your head. 💕

Blaze, her sweet brother with a white blaze down his nose, is all about affection. He lives for cheek rubs, nose kisses, and belly pets, and he loves curling up against you to sleep. 💤

These two are inseparable—playing, grooming, wrestling, and cuddling together. Squeak can’t stand to miss out if Blaze is getting love, and Blaze is happiest when he’s with his sister.

They would thrive in a home together or with another young, playful, and affectionate cat—or someone ready to give them lots of playtime and cuddles.

Plum had her eye removal surgery on Monday, May 19, and she’s recovering like a champ!
While she’s not thrilled about cage rest and rocking the cone life, we’re thrilled with how smooth her recovery has been—no bleeding, no oozing, barely any bruising, and her fur is already starting to grow back.

We’re so grateful for all the donations that helped get her this far. We’re still working toward covering the full cost of her care, so every little bit helps. Thank you for supporting this sweet girl!
