We went to an adoption event they were having this weekend and we fell in love with a pair of kittens filled out the adoption application so we could meet them. Spoke with the owner for about thirty minutes before even heading inside to meet them to give her the baseline of things that typically raise concerns to cat rescues. We have two dogs, live in a studio, and they would stay in the bathroom while getting acclimated to us and the dogs. We let the rescue team know both dogs grew up around cats and have never shown any issues and they know to go to the door for potty time (ensuring the back door would not be left open for the cats safety). During this conversation I heavily emphasized and talked about my Pitty mix because she is off weird with people and we won't push that but she has never shown any signs of aggression towards other animals. They were very open to our situation and told us they do a "trial" period to ensure a smooth transition for the cats and even if it doesn't work out after the three weeks we can hand them back over with no ties. We were super excited to find a rescue that seemed open and willing to work with us. I have been the pet industry for over six years so I know how finicky cat rescues can be sometimes and was super excited to thought I have found some place different. We spent 45 minutes looking at the cats and they were absolutely adorable and we wanted to go through with the adoption process. We talked to the owner she approved our application and we set up at time for Monday for her to drop off the cats to us. We were told we would be getting a text from the foster that same evening confirming drop off time and sending over some pictures of the kittens. We didn't get anything that night knowing they were running the adoption event through the weekend and they may be busy we decided to send an inquiry email Sunday at around 3:40 pm. We didn't get a message back until almost 9pm on Sunday. The rescue staff knew both of us worked Monday-Friday so meet up would have to be after than. We went to the pet store on Saturday to buy the basic cat necessities and once we got a message confirming the meeting and that we would be receiving the cats we would order the bigger things (cat tree, things for outside of the bathroom, etc.) but given we weren't texted until 9pm the night before everything had not arrived or is now arriving today (Tuesday). When the foster arrived to our home we immediately felt judgment due to the location of our home. Before entering our home the foster asked to meet the dogs we allowed for her to meet one but again with my pit mix she is ultimately nervous around people and it's not worth stressing her out and the foster let us know that was a "concern" for her but ultimately something I didn't feel comfortable stressing my dog out for. After entering the home it just felt like a very judged and invasive process. Under the impression based on the interactions with the dogs she would not be leaving the cats with us she still proceeded to take pictures of our home which we do not know if they have been deleted or not. Ultimately I do not blame the rescue or the foster as I believe they are doing what they believe is best for the cats but I do also want to warn people that the adoption process was very very invasive and left us with an overall icky feeling. They got our hopes up and seemed super welcoming and willing to work with and then completely flipped when it came to meeting at our home and we were judged for a number of reasons. We set up our home for two new additions and still have materials being delivered to our home with no use now. Ultimately we just find it very rude and distasteful. read more

I recently applied to adopt a kitten and reached out to her foster. I was very interested and excited, as I have a large home I own and years of experience caring for cats throughout their entire lives. I was surprised to be told to "pursue other kitties with other rescues." I completely understand if the kitten I applied for was ultimately a better fit for a home with other cats, and I respect making placement decisions in the animal's best interest. But the way this was communicated felt dismissive and unnecessarily hurtful. This experience has put me off from working with this rescue again. I hope all their sweet cats do find wonderful homes, but I can't recommend this organization based on how adopters are treated. read more

I've worked with a volunteer at 13th Street Cat Rescue for years now. She has tirelessly helped me trap community cats near my house including trying different traps for a hard-to-trap male. She's helped me with an injured community cat, as well. I can't tell you how much I appreciate her dedication and help! read more

We recently discovered a feral cat has been living in our front yard, under our bay window. I suppose she turned into a long-term tenant once we started leaving food out for her. It wasn't until I started googling what we should do for feral cats that I learned about TNR. Well, lo and behold, the San Jose shelter's online appointment system showed no openings for two months in a row, and we were starting to see our new tenant mating (oh the wonders of Ring cameras). I reached out to 13th St Cats, and Cassie and Laura helped us our tremendously, first with arranging to loan us a trap and instructing us on how to trap the cat, and getting us an appointment at the shelter when there was a cancellation. We were able to get our feral cat fixed, all in a day's work. I really appreciate the work 13th St Cat Rescue is doing to cut down on the overpopulation of cats, but also to help us care for the cats that are already out there. It was very apparent that Laura and Cassie care very much about the work they're doing. I'm very thankful for them, and for 13th St Cat Rescue. read more

13th Street Cat Rescue - That's him right there. - Animal Shelters Near Me

If you want your donations to go towards a good cause helping cats, look elsewhere. At one point, I believe, the women who founded this group actually cared about animals. Sadly now it's all just money to them. Cassie has all but shut down their TNR program with Joanne's blessing. This group brings in hundreds of thousands in donations annually, each year more than the last, but have only decreased their involvement in helping community and shelter cats. Joanne and Karen are entirely hands off and just sit around taking in paychecks. They're absolutely disgusting. read more

I have been a longtime foster and supporter of 13th St Cats, a small but mighty organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming cats in need. This is where my cat Panther found his forever home with me. Panther, an amazing and affectionate kitty, was once facing an uncertain future. Through the compassionate efforts of 13th St Cats, he not only received the care and attention he needed (and deserved!) but also became a much-loved member of our family. I've seen first-hand the transformative impact of 13th St Cats and it's only deepened my commitment to advocating for and supporting the well-being of our local cats. read more

5 stars all around for their TNR program! I had stray cats in my backyard that I needed to trap for TNR. I emailed 13th Street Rescue and received a prompt response (I had previously emailed two organizations prior and never received a response). The process was so easy and I was able to borrow and pickup the trap the very next day from Cassie! She was very thorough and helpful in explaining the process of trapping the cats. She also provided me with great resources on where to bring the cats once they entered the trap. Using her tips, I was able to trap the cats quickly and effortlessly and I'm so thankful! TNR is such an essential program to help control feral cat populations and reproduction. You can tell they truly care about cats and providing all the help they can to both adoptable and feral cats. All around amazing and I highly recommend them for their TNR services! read more

13th Street Cat Rescue - Successful TNR! - Animal Shelters Near Me

13th Street Cat Rescue was referred to us by our old dog and house sitter. Joanne and her team of fosters are amazing to work with. They make the adoption process went easy, open communication, status updates. Most important they care for the furballs and make sure they are healthy (current and up to date) and happy. They care that the kitties go to great homes no matter what. Thank you for a great experience and kindness. read more

13th Street Cats is amazing. Several years ago they helped us adopt Simba, an abandoned kitten. 13th Street Cats helped the person who found Simba foster him, and then arranged for us to adopt Simba when he was old enough. This year, they helped us with the process of adopting a stray cat from our neighborhood. They are extremely knowledgeable and a great source of advice. I cannot say enough good things about them. read more

I was involved in helping trap several feral cats at a friend's house recently, their review is also here (incorrectly and stupidly marked as "not recommended" - it's fair, accurate and honest so go figure) andd I'd concur that the trap-neuter and release program is outstanding. The person who trapped and cared for the cats and saw them released back, was exceptionally considerate and caring and willing to give up time at any hour to rescue the cats. 110% of full marks there. Having said that, they also took in one feral which has been around the property for more than four years and was already spayed, but had an apparently benign growth inside her ear that she'd always had. We took the opportunity on offer, to have her trapped and cared for for free by a vet provided by the cat rescue. The vet removed the growth, which was apparently benign and which did not return, though she still shakes her head. But the cat came back with her third eyelid stuck half way across her eye and the pupil in that eye is now smaller than in the other too. There was nothing wrong with her eye before. We couldn't get any contact with the vet to find out what to do, we weren't told the name of the vet who did the work, just that they didn't think it wise to sedate her further (fair enough) and we should just enjoy her as she is. There was no explanation for her eye condition other than maybe it had something to do with the infection in her ear. They didn't know. Who knows? If the vet doesn't know and won't do further treatment, who else is there to ask? It's months on, now, she still looks the same and I have no idea how damaged her eye is or if there's anything that can be done. We can't afford to take her to a vet, who would charge extra for her being a feral and needing to knock her out to handle her. I feel sad for her and wish we'd never let the mystery vet treat her. Maybe they did the best they could, but who knows. There was no follow up and I got the impression that further questions wouldn't be welcomed. As we gave 5 stars in a review for the rescue service itself, the rating for this one is based on the veterinary treatment and the lack of communications, only. read more

13th Street Cat Rescue - "Sweetie" months after vet care from 13th Street Cat Rescue. - Animal Shelters Near Me

I recently concluded my adoption with 13th Street cats and I have nothing but great things to say. Everyone I encountered from initial visit at PetSmart (they use their center for adoption fairs) to finalizing the adoption was so helpful and just great! As a first time cat owner I was nervous but they aided me through the whole process. There Is a two week trial period which really helped my nerves. It gave me and kitty a great opportunity to make sure we were both a good fit. Turns out all we needed was a few days :) now my buddy Al has a loving forever home! If you are thinking about adopting then this is the way to go! Thanks 13th st cats, I'm so grateful for my little buddy! read more

13th Street Cat Rescue has given me advice on a few occassions in the past with trap / neuter / return or how to care for a stray injured cat near me. They are responsive, helpful, and dedicated. Also appreciate the ability to 'rent' traps with a deposit and the abundant advice and resources on their website. read more

Five stars all around for the great work the 13th Street Cat Rescue does to help feral & community cats. I reached out on their website about TNR program and got a quick reply that I could borrow a trap for the program from Cassie, she was very helpful on tips and videos of how to trap. If you love cats the TRN program is essential to helping less animals without homes and less animal euthanasia in the shelters. My neighborhood in DTSJ is overpopulated with community and feral cats. I fell so badly for them and I realize the best way to help them is through the trap neuter/spay and return program. I borrowed the trap and was successful at helping spay a cat that recently had a litter of kittens and have also gotten 2 of her kittens spayed and returned to the neighborhood. If you are able to help with TNR please contact your local shelter for details and borrow a trap from 13th ST rescue. It makes a huge difference in the cats life and quality of life - they vaccinate, flea treat and some shelters even chip the cats. Big thank you to Janice for her guidance and help with one of the male feral's I was having difficulties with. read more

Long story short - I wish I could give 13th street 100 stars!! A wonderful organization full of people that really truly care about cats and their wellbeing. Long story :) We have been thinking about adopting a cat to join our lovely senior gal at home, now that she is a fully inside cat and we wanted her to have a companion. That said, bringing a new member of the family home to a 10-year-old only child kitty was a tough ask, and we knew we needed a cat that was relaxed, sweet, not too overbearing to our other cat and the cherry on top would be a playful cat that might encourage our other gal to be a bit more active. We have been looking online and saw Harry on the 13th street website. His bio sounded perfect for us, he's a slightly older guy (8-years) and ready for his forever home. I reached out to Joanne and she was prompt with replying and arranging for us to meet him. We got to go meet Harry on his home turf at 13th street and see the awesome place they have for the cats. All the cats look very well cared for and you can tell they're going the extra mile for them. Needless to say, we fell in love with Harry and arranged with Joanne to bring him home a few days later! I think it's incredible they allow a "trial" type set up because while we desperately wanted Harry to join our family we had to make sure it was ok for our older gal too. 13th street brought Harry to us and after a week of having him at home, we knew the cats were going to make it work and we could officially adopt him. It didn't feel stressful though, or like if it didn't work for our older gal we were giving up on Harry, because he was happy and comfortable at 13th street. It wouldn't have been like taking him back to a cold shelter. Last night Joanne came to our home and we signed the official adoption papers (such proud parents!!) and got all his vet history from 13th street. They took care of full dental work for him and made sure he had all his vaccinations. Joanne even gave him a booster vaccine at our home to make sure he was all up to speed and checked his microchip. I can't say enough great things about how supported we felt through the process and knowing that Harry has been so well looked after just makes us feel so happy. He is the most wonderful cat and we are so lucky. Thank you SO MUCH to Joanne and the team at 13th street. You are all angels!! read more

13th Street Cat Rescue - Our happy and healthy boy Harry from 13th street! - Animal Shelters Near Me

Helped me with traps needed for the community cats I am feeding. Also provided valuable suggestions and vet contact.

This is where I got my little Otis-t. First you visit their website, if there's a cat you want to know more about, you can email them for a meet up or find an adoption fair it will attend. If everything goes on well, they deliver it to your home and help you set it up for the new member. They also gave me a form with vaccination record and vets they recommend. As a new adopter I really appreciate this. I know a lot of friends who love cats. One bought a ragdoll with $1500 that ended up sick and didn't know how to use cat litter. One adopted a tabby from pet***t and found lots of fleas. I went there originally for a Siamese, but then I saw this little angel. It simply doesn't matter anymore. And when Otis arrived home, he was healthy, clean, and well-behaved as a kitten. I know they can be a bit strict about applications, but that's what you do when it's about life. And I promise it is not about how good the environment you can offer is, but how responsible you are. I'm not having a stable life, but Janice is kind enough to believe I would take Otis with me all the time. I hope all the cats can find their home. read more

I have a feral cat issue at my residence and I have had a lot of trouble trying to get the cats spayed/neutered to stop the cycle. I tried the humane society I called the city of San Jose I also called a lot of vets in my area and no one would help me. Then I emailed 13th street rescue and asked if they could help me. A few days later Laura emailed me back and helped me out tremendously. I cannot thank them enough for all they do!! They have been a huge help and I would definitely recommend them. Thank you Laura and 13th street cat rescue! read more

Unlike other rescues during the pandemic I didn't receive a dismissive email but a person on the phone - it was Janice and based on the questions she asked I knew she really cared about the kitties. I also spoke to Kristen who was fostering the cat we were interested in and she helped me to quickly get to understand the personality of Penny and how she would fit within our family. We were a great match and love our Penny so much! Janice and Kristen were very knowledgeable and Kristen even let Penny bring home her favorite toy....which she still loves and plays with all the time. thank you so much for matching us with this girl! read more

Cannot say enough about the excellent advice and support 13th street cat rescue (San Jose) provided to assist me to catch a beautiful stray girl that had been abandoned in an apartment complex I moved into a year ago! The complex was huge, and this sweet gray/white cat was struggling to survive amidst multiple feral cats. She was friendly, "talkative" and I felt like she picked me right after I moved in! During my 8 mos stay, I fed her and got her through that harsh 2022-23 winter. Now I live in a two bedroom and I am slowly introducing my original cat to the new girl. The rescue staff was welcoming, helped me through the steps of securing her (she was very fearful and untrusting after being left) got so many encouraging and helpful tips from 13th st rescue! Also want to thank some amazing neighbors who helped me secure her!!! It takes a village to catch a cat. Now she has her forever home! At some point, it was very discouraging to catch her, and so many encouraging words came from Cassie. Was delighted we had a successful ending; happy to pass on good good wird in return for all the amazing dedicated work this place does to help so many cats! ...Sharon read more

I volunteer with 13th st cats and have had a very fulfilling experience doing so. I primarily help feed feral colonies (a 1-2 hr commitment per week), but over time have been able to help with other things as well. There are regular opportunities for volunteers to help in various areas, including fostering cats, running adoption events, TNR'ing cats, planning & preparing for fundraisers, and more. All the cats in 13th st's care are extremely well cared for and look great. The volunteers I've met at various events have been fun and easy to talk to- having a shared interest in caring for and saving cats is always a great conversation starter . read more

Joanne and her team are simply amazing. I found two kittens while walking my dog. I figured any shelter would be more than happy to take them, but not the case. Apparently, there's been a lot of kittens on the street and shelters don't have the resources to bottle feed them every few hours (keep in mind I learned all of this in the past few days). Most shelters and even rescues said if they took the kittens more than likely the kittens would be put to sleep. I spent all day and night emailing and searching for an organization or a foster who could help me. I was having a hard time caring for the kittens since it was my first time and I was worried that this I'm not as experienced something could easily go wrong. My cousin referred me to Joanne. I emailed her..a little while later I received an email from Jim (volunteer) who said he can take the kitten. OH MY - I WAS SO RELIEVED! It was so stressful not knowing the fate of these little guys. I dropped the kittens at Jim and his wifes place this morning. They're absolutel sweethearts and it was plain and clear that Jim really really loved the kittens and had nothing but their best interest in hand. He's been a life saver and I don't know what I would have done had he not offered to care of the little kittens. I made a donation to help the rescue out. Realize the folks who foster the kittens are volunteering their time and any donations you can make truly do help the little kittens they're caring for. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! Thank you Joanne. Thank you Jim (and Jim's wife). read more

I live in Downtown San Jose and adopted my cat from 13th Street Cats because I knew they were based in my neighborhood. My cat Sylvie is loving and wonderful and I'm so grateful to have her in my life! Their volunteer Joanne was endlessly helpful and answered all my questions after I adopted her. Sylvie was the first pet I adopted as an adult, so I had loads of questions! Shortly after, 13th St Cats volunteers Joanne and Karen, advised me on how to trap and fix the dozens of feral cats multiplying out behind my office. With their help (and the traps I borrowed from the organization) I was able to spay and neuter every single one of them so FINALLY after years and years of having homeless litters of kittens out there, my co-workers and I no longer had a problem! Their volunteers (and they are all volunteers, they have no staff!) work tirelessly to ensure that every single cat they place is the right fit for their adoptive family. I recently started to volunteer with them fostering homeless cats and helping other people learn how to trap and fix feral cats, helping to control the problems in our community. I'm so grateful they were there to help me, my family and my co-workers and I'm so glad I can now help give back! read more

I adopted my first kitty from 13th Street Cat Rescue, and was pleased to give a home to a cat that was in desire need of a home. I adopted a cat who was a rescue cat from a hoarder living in a unhealthy surrounding. My cat has been through several adopters and was given up just because he was shy. But through weeks of patience, I have a super gentle and attention needy cat that loves human companionship. And I was pleased to name my cat Sushi :) I really liked how the staff was attentive, especially Jannice who helped me throughout the process of adopting. They were very informative about the personality and needs of their kittens and cats. And they try to best suit the type of cat that was ideal for myself. They are also protective of the foster cats and kittens, so they ask a lot of questions to make sure I was a suitable owner. This process didn't bother me, since they were just looking out for the best interest for these felines. Overall, if you really want to make a difference and adopt a cat or kitten, consider 13th Street Cat adoption! read more

For my first Elite review, it's going to be a five star for 13th Street Cat Org. 13th Street Cat Org is a Trap-Neuter-Return program that takes wild cats/kittens, neuters them and tries to socialize them in foster homes until they are adoptable. They also vaccinate and microchip the cats. They have adoption fairs on the weekends at Petsmart and some of the kittens are housed at Andy's Pet shop on weekdays. People can also turn in found kittens to Andy's who will then contact 13th Street. For some people the adoption process may be off putting as it isn't as easy as pick a kitten and take it home that day. They want to make sure the kittens are going to a safe, loving home where they will be taken care of for life. We had to wait about a week to get our kitten as she had just gotten neutered and needed time to rest and heal. Joanne runs the program and is a very sweet lady. She calls to make sure the kitten/cat is doing well after the first few days and loves to get photos and updates. We ran into some medical issues with our kitten the first week we had her (by no fault of them) and had to take her to the vet. We then ran into Joanne at Petsmart shortly after. She was very glad to hear that we took her to the vet right away and that our kitten was doing better. I recently heard from my mom that some kittens were found at her work and they needed to be given homes. I immediately gave them 13th Street Cats info knowing in their hands, those kittens would be safe. read more

My first yelp review ever! I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful work you do! Gracie (formerly Lavender) joined my family from 13th Street in June. She warms my heart every day and brings my home so much joy. Thank you 13th Street for supporting Shawn in rescuing the Russian Blue litter from her backyard. Without your work Gracie would not have found a way to her happy forever home. 13th Street was wonderful when pairing me with Gracie and also couldn't have been more helpful when I referred my coworker to the organization. They helped him find and adopt a Russian blue kitten from another litter found in Shawn's yard - maybe one of Gracie's cousins!

13th Street Cat Rescue - Animal Shelters Near Me

13th Street Cat Rescue is truly an amazing organization! I recently found a very friendly stray kitty near my house and knew she deserved better than a life on the streets. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep her due to my living arrangements, so I researched organizations that might be able to find a home for her. I wanted to ensure that she would be placed with a forever home, and 13th Street's application process gave me peace of mind that she would be placed with responsible and deserving owners. Joanne reached out to me within a couple days of my email to her, and was able to coordinate a vet exam, vaccines, and testing to get the cat ready for adoption. She was also able to place her in a great foster home until she can be adopted. I am so grateful to 13th Street Cats and Joanne for their help in finding a home for this kitty! read more

If discrimination about life situation is "ethical" I must be reading the wrong definition. In Jan 2022 I was turned down by this organization to adopt a cat because I am a renter. Mind you I was in my last rental for 15 years and my current for 5. Over 15 years ago I adopted a pair of kittens from 13th. A month later both cats got a virus from which one died and one lived. It is heartbreaking to have to put down a kitten. When I was asked to move (so my landlord's daughter could have the house) I rehoused the other cat in a very nice home with a friend due to new rental limitations. I since got an emotional support pet recommendation from my doctor so that's why I can now have a cat no matter where I rent. Nevertheless 13th turned me down to adopt! Never been judged and treated like that by another woman. It hurt. So no, I don't recommended an organization who discriminates. read more

We are so glad we adopted from 13th Street Rescue. We needed more help with our adoption than we expected, and they came through with kindness, professionalism and an absolute commitment to making this adoption work for us. We are so grateful. We knew we wanted a sibling pair and we were ready to welcome our boys home, but we were unlucky enough to have some turmoil the week they arrived: A family member was injured and went into the hospital. Joanne texted me the day after this happened to see if I could bring them in to Petco for last shots and paperwork. I did bring them, and we chatted about what was going on at my house as well as my concern that one of the kittens' breath didn't smell quite right. She examined him and found problems with his teeth and referred us to a vet with late hours. As I was driving home she called and said "You have enough to worry about right now, I'm sending someone to pick him up." Rob picked up our sickly kitty and saw to the extraction of his abscessed tooth and recovery until he was off pain meds, five days in all. He returned our kitten and spent an hour with me showing me how to manage him and administer antibiotics and other care he needed. When we had concerns about how it was healing a week later, he dropped by again to help us out. Born outdoors, our adorable kittens have been wonderfully fostered by Rob and Kavya. They were ready for a loving family. They are affectionate and funny, curious, healthy and great at using the box. We are very grateful that we found 13th Street, and very impressed with the team that has demonstrated such professionalism and commitment to getting us off to a good start with our new family members. Thank you! read more
