Thank you to all our donors on Giving Tuesday. We raised $13,921 and with a generous donors match of up to $10k we raised $23,921.

We want to extend our deepest sympathies and say goodbye to Frank.  Yuriko and Frank helped countless kitties and we are so grateful.

We are so thankful to the San Jose Women’s Club for all they do to support us. And that includes having presented us with a charity grant, this year, from the funds they raised last year. We are pleased to say we were 1 of the 11, out of the 29 applicants, to receive funding. Again, thank you very much, San Jose Women’s Club.

We would like to wish you and yours the most joyous of holiday seasons. This year has been another great adoption year for 13th St Cats - over 220 kitties will have found forever homes, and we've spayed and neutered over 330 cats.    We have always been willing to rescue cats with complicated issues, felines needing eye surgeries, limb amputations, etc.. Additionally this year we have had significant special conditions requiring intensive/extended care and treatment - ringworm, pan-leuk, FIP, haemobartonella to name a few. And of course we have the on-going care of some of our special kitties from the past, last year's kittens (Corky and Briar), as well as many long-term older "residents" like Sal. All these felines also require more resources than the standard healthy, young rescue.    We can't do it without you - supporters of all types - volunteers, donors, and adopters. We thank you so very much, and we look forward to continuing to save many lives in the upcoming year.   Love and best holiday wishes from the volunteers, cats, and kittens of 13th St. Cat Rescue.     Quasi Had hind leg amputated - Adopted!   BB King Had both eyes removed - Adopted!   Joey Had eye removed - Adopted!

Thank You Precious Cat!

A huge thanks to Precious Cat for their donation of over 3,800 lbs of litter to 13th St Cats, March 2015!  Half the load is their Ultra Premium Multi-cat Scoopable and the other half their wonderful Cat Attract litter designed by their Veterinarian Dr. Elsey. 13th St Cats knows first hand the value of the Cat Attract litter, as it has in the past enabled successful retraining and the rehoming of over 3 dozen cats.   www.preciouscat.com

"FELINE GOOD: Judy Conner emailed me with last year's numbers for the 13th Street Cat Rescue, the downtown San Jose-based group powered entirely by volunteers since it was founded in 2005. In 2013, the group found homes for 222 stray cats, and were able to spay or neuter 233 cats. Still, there are plenty of cats downtown and elsewhere that seem to be roaming around without homes.

That's why the group is actively seeking foster home volunteers and will conduct workshops throughout this year. Go to www.13thstcats.org/info/index for more information.
