Helping Tomorrow's Older Shelter Kittens Today

Stray cats teach their kittens to survive by avoiding danger, including people. By the time their kittens are 4 months old, most rescue organizations believe it’s too late to socialize them, so many never make it out of the shelter.

At Cat Town, we give these kittens all the time they need to learn humans are safe through our Forgotten Kitten Project.

KITTEN WIRE: SIBLINGS FILL NEW HOME WITH JOY

KITTEN WIRE: SIBLINGS FILL NEW HOME WITH JOY

OAKLAND, Calif. — The two kittens couldn't be more different. Aspen, a mini snow tiger with blue eyes and an easy purr, was quick to warm to people, while Leaf, a fluffy girl with faded tortoiseshell markings, trembled in the corner anytime someone approached.

From our perspective, these sisters needed each other. And we needed adopters who understood that. Then on a Friday in September, we met Tricia and Aiden, a mother-son pair who visited Cat Town for Aiden's birthday.
