DONATE TO THE
CAT TOWN YARD SALE
— KINDLY SUBMIT YOUR DONATIONS BY May 15, 2026 —
Cat Town has been featured in the New York Times, Time Magazine, Huffington Post, and more. But we're more than the nation's first cat cafe — we are a lifeline for at-risk cats in our community.
Last year, Cat Town’s donors contributed nearly $1M in individual donations to support our lifesaving work. Our annual Yard Sale auction features gift cards, products, and experiences from local businesses and community organizations to underwrite Cat Town's daily operations while creating valuable tax deductions and grassroots marketing.
Can we count on you as we celebrate our 15-year anniversary?
what our donors want:
Gift cards + services: Gift cards to your business, bundled packages, or a signature service.
Experiences + partnerships: Host something memorable: a workshop, tasting night, VIP tour, or limited-edition collaboration item available only through the auction.
Cat-themed goods: Cat-inspired products and thoughtfully curated bundles that represent your brand.
Unique items: One-of-a-kind pieces, limited runs, or standout inventory in excellent condition — anything with a story or special appeal.
Cat Town reaches thousands of people in our online communications, with a combined social media following of more than 76,000, a mailing list of 10,000 subscribers, and 300,000 annual website visitors. We also welcome nearly 10,000 visitors every year to our adoption center in Oakland, California. We love spotlighting the local businesses that support our work!
Please use the form below to submit your Yard Sale donations. You can include multiple items in one submission and select a drop-off date within the form. Be sure to provide a description for each item you plan to donate. Submissions are open through May 15, 2026, with drop-offs taking place in May and June.

Our mission is cats. Together, we save the lives of at-risk cats, find them loving homes, and advocate for a future where every cat is valued. Cat Town supports elderly, stressed, sick, and injured shelter cats facing euthanasia. Supporting them is our specialty, and our approach has been shared with dozens of rescues across the country. Your support will directly fuel adoptions for cats who need us most!
