Town Cats
Our Mission
Town Cats is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of stray, abandoned, unwanted, and feral cats in Santa Clara County. We strive to be passionate advocates for all cats, ensuring every feline receives the compassion and respect they deserve.
A Legacy of Compassion
Founded in 1997 by Rosi Mirko, Town Cats has spent over 25 years transforming the local rescue landscape. Born from a deep commitment to animal welfare, our organization carries forward a rich legacy of saving lives and building feline champions across the Bay Area.
Our Approach to Care
We believe in staying at the forefront of feline care by continuously refining our practices to align with the latest veterinary medicine and shelter standards. Our model combines a dedicated facility in Gilroy with a network of foster homes, allowing us to provide intensive care for neonatal kittens, cats with medical needs, and those often overlooked.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We view adoption as a lifelong, joyful partnership rather than just a transaction. By taking the time to understand both the cat's personality and the adopter's lifestyle, we ensure that every placement is a thoughtful, lasting fit. Our team is here to support you through the transition, offering guidance and resources to help your new companion settle into their forever home.
Join Our Community
Whether you are ready to adopt, foster, or volunteer, there are many ways to make a difference for the cats in our care. We invite you to explore our list of available feline friends or visit us at one of our adoption centers. Together, we can ensure that every cat has the chance for a bright, healthy, and happy life.

9/16 - If you remember, Slynk was an “if I fits, I sits” kind of girl. We found this video of her sitting in a very fancy Petco bag, doing a little grooming. And honestly, this was the norm; we would find her in a bag or box whatever she could explore that day. This is your reminder that even if something looks like trash to you, it might be entertainment to your cat. Let them play with the empty Amazon box, the empty paper bag (please, no plastic!), or whatever random little thing they have decided is their new favorite toy. Just make sure you’re keeping an eye on them while they play, and remove anything that could be a choking or entanglement hazard. Cats find fun in the little things. We know Slynk did. #Slynk #adoptdontshop #towncats #savecats #memories
