More about the shelter
13th St. NAC Cat Rescue is a small but determined group of volunteers, lead by Joanne, serving the Northside area of San Jose since 2005 (officially).
We are dedicated to improving the lives of feral and social cats and in controlling the population by the use of TNR. Trap-Neuter-Return is an effective, internationally recognized program by which cats are trapped, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and returned to their original location to be cared for. Kittens and cats that can be socialized are taken into foster care and are then put up for adoption.
We are not based at a shelter or in one location on 13th Street. All of our animals are housed in foster homes. You can find us at different petfairs during the month or at various neighborhood functions. See Adoption Fairs/Events page.
You can help our organization and the neighborhood by volunteering to trap cats and transporting them to the vet for vaccinations and neutering, fundraising, fostering cats temporarily in your home or even just donating to the cause.
Under the 13th Street NAC (Northside Action Committee), 13th Street Cats is a 501c(3) nonprofit so your donations are tax deductible
To meet our rescued cats/kitten: we ask that you fill out an adoption application first. Once you submit an application, a volunteer will contact you. All of our kitties are in foster homes; some can be seen at the foster homes, or at an upcoming Adoption Fair. We ask for your understanding: We are an all-volunteer organization and many of us have full-time jobs outside of our volunteer activities; therefore, it may be a few days before someone can respond to your email. We always try to reply as soon as possible.The kitties are for adoption, not for sale. Adoption fee for kittens is $125 ($200 for two) to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. All cats and kittens are:
vaccinated as appropriate for their age
microchipped
dewormed
deflead
tested for FELV (feline leukemia) / FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus)
spayed/neutered prior to adoption
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a kitty is a long-term commitment; the average life span for a kitty is 15-20 years.
Most of our cats are in foster homes with other cats. They get lonely and bored without the company of their own kind, just like people. We try to place cats that enjoy the company of other cats in a home where there is feline companionship. But we do have many cats that would be happy to be the only cat in your life!
Regardless of how an animal comes to us, we provide food, shelter, and medical care. The animals do not live in cages but in volunteer foster homes. We usually know the personalities of the cats and kittens we rescue, so we can tell you which cat or kitten(s) might be the best match for you and/or the feline companion you already have.

About Abby
Distance: 3,946 Miles
Abby is an adult now, and she was returned when the adopter was unable to properly take care of her, and Abby felt bullied in her the home by another cat. So she does need to regain some confidence in new settings and she is likely best as a solo cat but we know she is OK with other gentle cats at the foster home. Being solo and watching how much she eats will help her trim down. Abby is talkative and bonds to her caregivers in the foster home. We think she could be a good match with a home that is quiet, and give that home a nice companion.
KITTEN BIO
Abby is a beautiful green eyed, gray tick tabby with white feet, chest and undercarriage. With her large ears, fine bones, and pointed face, she sure looks part Abbysian, and she trills hello and rolls on her back to say "pet me" - so cute! She loves people, other kitties, and gentle dogs, but is also fine by herself. Abby is very playful and happy, she will be a loving member of any family. She can be seen at the foster home or PetSmart Campbell petfairs most Saturdays - contact us to find out more!
