Town Cats received very generous help from vets and vet technicians to help examine and check up on our 166 residents, some who are feral!

There is a feral colony off of highway 5, south of the 152 interchange. A person who travels to Bakersfield from Gilroy area once a week saw them and Town Cats has been providing food, but the kitties need to be trapped and neutered. We are seeking people in that area who can help transport. Town Cats will use our vets and will pay for the spay/neuter costs, just need feeders and transporters. Contact Town Cats for more info and location. Update on the Hwy 5/152 cats: As of March 7th, we've trapped, spayed/neutered/vaccinated/ear tipped and returned 10 cats at this location and one of our volunteers is going to trap another 10 on Saturday March 10th for spay/neuter and return.

Listen to a Town Cats volunteer and the Executive Director/Founder of Town Cats in an interview on KBAY! Scroll down to 4/29/07, and select "Rosi Marco of Town Cats" (name misspelled). This interview is about spay/neuter programs, and what people can to do help! (Note: You will need iTunes, as this is in the form of a podcast)

The city of Los Angeles passed mandatory spay/neuter ordinance February 26, 2008. Town Cats is a strong supporter of this and attended San Jose city council meetings meetings in 2007 to lend support to the city of San Jose's mandatory spay/neuter proposal which unfortunately did not pass. Details of the new Los Angeles law is included in article/link below:

This is a short movie we received via email from someone who made it for their ethics class for animal rights. Here's the preface sent with the link and we agree: It is one of the most powerful and important short films you will ever see in defense of animals. As people, we are commanded to be responsible towards our animals: "In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." (Job 12:7-10) We feel that it every person's responsibility to be a caring and good pet owner. So, if you love the little creatures of this world please watch this short (3 min) film.

Town Cats is even contacted by spay/neuter/rescue programs from all over the world to share information and advice. Please see the website of Animais de Rua in Portugal, who does spay/neuter/rescue of cats and dogs in Portugal; and if you ever visit Portugal, look them up or send a donation!

Ms. Wilkinson's 2nd grade class at the Morgan Hill Charter School raised $803 for Town Cats by knitting hats, calling their efforts "Hats for Cats"! On April 3rd, one of the volunteers with her former Town Cats cat/therapy cat visited the classroom, and accepted the donation on behalf of Town Cats.

Thank you from the cats, kittens, and volunteers of Town Cats!
