VISIT OUR CATS
About the Adoption Center
Cat Town is home to the nation’s first cat cafe — a cage-free adoption center designed for cats who struggle in shelter cages. Located at 2869 Broadway in Oakland, California, our Adoption Center typically houses 25–35 adoptable cats. Half roam freely, while those needing one-on-one support or medical care stay in private Studios.
To support our lifesaving work, a $14 entry fee is required for all recreational visits. Walk-in reservations are welcome if we aren’t booked up, but we highly recommend booking online — especially on weekends, when our bookings often fill up completely. If our reservation system shows no availability, we’re completely booked for that hour.
Interested in adopting? Visits are free for adopters! Just complete our Adoption Inquiry form to request an appointment—we’ll make sure someone is available to help you during your visit.
OUR HOURS
Thursday - Sunday: 10am - 5pm

OUR ADOPTION CENTER CATS
The cats at the Cat Town Adoption Center represent a full spectrum of personalities, ranging from confident to shy. Some will sit right in your lap, but many of our cats arrive having had little experience with humans, or are still scared from being in a shelter cage. These shy cats learn from our more confident cats, and when you visit, your presence will help teach them about trust, and build the confidence they need to get adopted.
Note that not every cat at Cat Town is currently ready to be adopted, so please review our Adopt page to learn more about our current adoption process for cats in foster homes and cats in our Adoption Center.
