    Kittens

    Very dedicated volunteers fostering and presenting cats and kittens. Very clean and many choices of well cared for furry friends.

    Somewhere I.

    I'm very grateful for this wonderful organization . I adopted my 8 week old kitten Macy in January 2021 by way of the Marin humane society who were kind enough to take in a few of CC4C 's kittens . we were in the middle of the pandemic and I'm sure this posed many more challenges than usual . Macy is now approaching 5 years old and a love . They did a great job fostering the set of kittens I met but unfortunately I could only adopt one . thank you for all you guys do . Macy and my Frenchie are life pals .

    Home furever!

    So grateful for this lovely company bringing new furever families together! CC4C came on my radar at the time of my previous kitty's passing, the lovely doctor I worked with made a donation in his name to this charity. I never forgot about them, I set up my Amazon Smile to benefit them, and I knew when and if the time was right, I would get my next little fur baby from them. For years I kept an eye on their website, just enjoying the sweet faces. And then finally one morning near the holidays in 2022, something in me said I should take a spin on their website, and I saw the sweetest face and most heartwrenching story of sweet little Lucca, a 3 year old tortie. And it was love at first sight. I ran into a couple challenges getting in contact with her foster, long story, but the CC4C team helped me so much and soon I was at their adoption event in Walnut Creek hanging out with my soon to be new kitty! The screening was very thorough, they definitely want new pet parents to take it seriously and provide a good and safe home. They even let me borrow a carrier to get her home safely that I could return the next day. And her lovely foster checked in with me a week or so in to make sure my new kitty and I were getting along and adjusting. I definitely recommend CC4C if you're wanting a adopt a cat, their adoption events are wonderful and their volunteers are very caring and helpful. Their website is always updated, and their Facebook page shows kitties available now and when their adoption events will be. They make it all very easy! Over a year in now, here's my kitty now dubbed Jazz in our new home!

    Last November, I submitted an application to adopt a cat in foster care under CC4C. The foster mom (Tina) was so helpful. She asked me what qualities I was searching for and selected 6 kitties for me to meet at her home. When I arrived. she had them in large pet crates in a separate room, so I could take my time to visit with each one. She provided detailed descriptions and known information for each one. The third one I held (not the one I applied for) was the one that stole my heart immediately. She was so sweet and relaxed in my arms. After Tina completed the paperwork for me to sign, I took her home along with a bag of dry cat food provided by Tina. She was in perfect health and up to date with vaccines. It only took a week for her to feel at home and within 10 days, she had learned her new name. She is the sweetest, well-behaved, affectionate cat. Thank you, CC4C.

    My boyfriend's mother & I adopted two cats from here. I submitted the application 10 days prior and needed to meet the cat at the facility to adopt. My boyfriend's mother saw another cat at the facility and applied via a paper application the same day. She was approved. We worked with Marilyn & the pet fosters. They replied fast and were very passionate about the cause. Everybody I spoke to there was very pleasant and welcoming. The adoption fees are lower in comparison to The Humane Society & Mini Cat Town where I've adopted my other cats. We paid $150 for the kitten & $125 for the 2 year old cat. Even after you leave, you can contact the establishment or previous foster for advice to help the cat adjust, and to send them updates about your new cat.

    These people are very helpful and what they do for these cats is amazing. The process for getting our little guy was easy, they make sure that you are more than prepared to bring your cat home, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a cat.

    They are dedicated to helping these kitties get ready for a home as well as finding the right match for you and your family. My main goal was a short haired, not kitten, that loves young kids since I have a 4 and 7 year old. Came in on one of the adoption weekends at their adoption site in Walnut Creek and by the end of the weekend, we found the perfect new addition to our family. The volunteers are passionate and really care. Cannot recommend enough

    Absolutely fantastic place. It is clean and organized and has nice items. With fair prices. The staff is fantastic very friendly. This is a great place to donate.

    Our three healthy and happy rescue boys adopted through CC4C.

    Five stars for Community Concern for Cats (CC4C)! We adopted three rescue kittens, from CC4C, in June, 2023. It was a pleasure working with CC4C. They made adopting our kittens an enjoyable experience.  Thanks especially to CC4C's coordinator, Renee, who was very knowledgeable, responsive, and helped guide us through the adoption process. And to the kittens' foster mother Karen, who lovingly raised seven healthy, happy kittens. CC4C was very efficient, well organized and helpful throughout, from the initial adoption process through to the kittens' neutering. We have three terrific cats now and couldn't be more pleased. The love, compassion, and dedication, that CC4C puts into rescuing and finding homes for their kitties, is obvious. Highly recommended!

    We were looking to adopt after unexpectedly losing our last cat in early January. After looking at the available cats on the CC4C website and communicating via email with one of the volunteers, Marilyn, we decided to go to their Saturday Pop-Up Adoption in Walnut Creek. We were the first in-line to get in (they have reduced the number of people inside due to COVID, so we had to wait until the people fostering the cats had finished bringing in all the cats) and met with a volunteer who talked with us after reviewing our adoption form. She suggested that we look at Smash Mouth, an adorable 7-month-old female. Well, we fell in love with her immediately and after getting to know her a little more, decided she was going to be the newest member of the family. We've decided to rename her Matilda. The entire process, from arrival to heading home with our kitty, took a little over an hour and was very easy. The volunteers at CC4C were friendly and answered our questions. I also received a follow up call from Marilyn this week to check in and provide a little more background on our kitty. I can't say enough about how fantastic the people at CC4C were to work with. Thank you for helping us add Matilda to our family.

    I love you and your purr like a Mack truck from which you get your name, Max. I know you'll love your new home.

    This wonderful organization helped me with an awesome cat who really needed a forever home. My daughter was unable to keep him because he needed a home with grown up people, and hers was full of littles. I tried everything to integrate him into my home with my resistant 11 year old male cat, but it just wasn't happening, and both cats were unhappy. Community Concern for Cats got Max in to see a vet with a complete check up. They helped us verify his chip, updated all his shots, and gave him a clean bill of health. I provided pictures and they set up an awesome online profile for him that really showed off his sweet and goofy personality. Their weekend adoption event was the perfect place for prospective new owners to meet Max. He met several people, but he chose his person a few weeks in. Numbers were exchanged all around so that everyone could feel comfortable about the transition, and assure support for Max's new person should they need it. I got texts and pictures for the first few weeks, human and feline were settling right in. It makes me so happy! My daughter and I can never thank Community Concern for Cats enough for the wonderful work that they do.

    This is Bella who went home with a wonderful older couple with lots of love to give!

We came to Dr. Maag truly at the end of our rope--his hospital was the only one who would provide a reasonably priced emergency echo right away during a health crisis. This was followed by excellent care--Dr. Maag spent hours over the course of a year, figuring out the complex medication regime that would keep my little dog (born with a heart murmur) alive and happy. Dr Maag was very kind, smart, thoughtful and gentle both with my dog and the human that my dog brought with him. He was creative, competent and careful with his recommendations. He was collaborative, never pushy, and I felt like we made the hardest decisions together, taking into consideration all aspects and alternatives. My dog loved his staff and medical techs and they were so good at making a nervous doggie comfortable. I felt like both Dr. Maag and his staff were as sad as I was when we got to the end of a really good run with my dog. If your pet has a complex health condition and you want to be treated well and feel like you can trust your doctor and the staff, Animal Care Hospital is the place to bring your fur baby.

I feel entirely comfortable with every vet and technician I meet--it's always clear they have thoroughly reviewed Coltrane's records before even walking into the examination room. During our appointment yesterday, vet tech Ana not only took incredible care of my pup, but she also patiently answered a handful of random questions I'd been saving up for our annual visit in August. Everyone on the staff is incredibly well-trained and knowledgeable. From a user standpoint, the technology is a game-changer. Being able to seamlessly schedule appointments through the app or get quick advice via virtual care--often saving us an unnecessary in-person trip--is a massive benefit. Vet care is a frequent topic of conversation among pet parents, and I always find myself recommending Modern Animal. While veterinary costs are high everywhere these days, the value here is unmatched compared to my previous vet. Having access to multiple locations across the Bay Area (especially crucial if an urgent issue pops up) combined with 24/7 virtual care makes it worth every penny. With their recent merger with Chewy--a company renowned for stellar customer service--I have high hopes that this exceptional level of care and community focus will continue. Highly recommend!

My feline companions also expressed discontent with the previous location. In contrast, my experience at the Walnut Creek location has been vastly different. My cats have developed a positive rapport with the staff here. Even my Kimber, who generally dislikes veterinary visits, is able to tolerate the staff. This is consistent with her personality, as she is affectionate at home and enjoys interacting with everyone, but experiences anxiety when placed in a crate and taken for a car ride, both of which she dislikes. My sweet girl fell ill and was diagnosed with kidney disease. The staff was exceptional throughout the entire experience and process of the passing of my beloved Joy. They demonstrated remarkable compassion and thoroughly explained each step. I cannot imagine navigating this difficult time without the staff's support.

    Let me tell you about loyalty…read more Fourteen years. That's how long my dog Bella trusted Banfield. That's how long I trusted Banfield. And y'all fumbled her in the end. Everything was "fine" when she was young. Easy cases, routine visits, collect the check, keep it moving. But the moment Bella got old--when she actually needed real care, that's when the cracks showed. No, not cracks... the whole system collapsed. You suspected cancer of the tongue. You pushed a $300 test. I said yes because this is my dog, my family. Meanwhile, a specialist tells me that test can't even give real answers. But guess what? My money was already gone. Then you come back with, "Good news, no cancer!" Oh really? Because when I bring her back, after she sits in a crate ALL DAY, you hit me with: "Oh...the test is inconclusive." So what exactly was the good news? Because from where I'm standing, that was confusion wrapped in a bill. Fast forward. Bella is struggling. Constipated, uncomfortable, clearly declining. I call for help. And what do you recommend? Psilocybin. Yes. That psilocybin. Like I'm supposed to go pick up psychedelic mushrooms for my dying dog. I checked Target. CVS. Nothing. I call back, you double down. I go to a pharmacist, they look at me like I've lost my mind. Turns out you meant something like Metamucil. So now I'm grieving and fact-checking my vet? And let's talk about access, because every time I called, I'm sitting on hold for 20 minutes like I'm trying to win concert tickets. This is a veterinary office. Not a radio station. Now we get to the day. Bella's last day. I bring her in for a follow-up, and the front desk is asking me about dermatitis. Dermatitis? My dog is declining, and y'all are reading from the wrong script. Disorganized. Rude. Confused. No awareness of the moment. Then comes the hardest decision I've ever had to make. The vet recommends euthanasia. I say yes. And a few hours later, my 8-year-old daughter and I are saying goodbye to someone we loved for 14 years. We paid for keepsakes--her fur in vials. Something small to hold onto. They ask if we want to wait. We can't. We're shattered. We choose to have it mailed. Weeks go by. Nothing. So now, in the middle of grief, I have to chase you down. You say, "Oh, it's ready--but we can't mail it because it's breakable." So the option you gave me... was never actually an option? I go in--reluctantly--because the whole point was not having to come back. And what do I walk into? More confusion. They can't find the fur. They're looking for the card. The card isn't even in an envelope. Nothing is prepared. Nothing is handled with care. Nothing is handled with dignity. Nothing is handled like this was someone's family member. Let me tell you the difference. I canceled an appointment with Bella's ophthalmologist--a doctor who barely knew her--and told them she passed. Within a week, they sent a condolence card. They donated to University of California, Davis in her name. That's what compassion looks like. That's what professionalism looks like. Banfield? You had 14 years with Bella. And when it mattered most--you showed me exactly what that loyalty meant to you. Nothing. Banfield stinks.

This place confirmed exactly why I never wanted to return. The staff is astonishingly unprofessional. Not just indifferent, but actively dismissive and condescending. Every interaction felt like pulling teeth. Basic questions were either ignored, answered vaguely, or met with visible irritation, as though I was inconveniencing them. It was clear they didn't have the answers to such basic questions, including about the products that they sell at a crazily inflated price. There's a level of attitude here that goes beyond burnout or a bad day. It seems to be ingrained in their hiring practices. What's worse is the complete breakdown in communication. It was unclear if messages were relayed, calls weren't returned, and no one seemed remotely concerned about the urgency of the situation. I waited THREE DAYS while my cat was critically ill for a callback that never came. When I finally reached the doctor, she admitted she had received my messages and simply chose not to respond. She was 'busy'. No apology, no urgency, no accountability. Just defensiveness and indifference. The waiting experience was equally infuriating. Long, unexplained delays with zero updates, no transparency, and no sense that anyone was managing patient care in an organized or competent way. You're just left sitting there while the staff moves at their own pace with no regard for the seriousness of the situation. And then the misdiagnosis. Completely wrong! I had to rush my cat to an emergency vet (VEG ER, 2431 San Ramon Valley Blvd, San Ramon), where the contrast was immediate and stark. They treated us with respect, communicated clearly, and handled my cat with care and compassion. Everything this clinic failed to do. (I HIGHLY recommend VEG. They do an excellent job with the pets AND the owners. And they don't nickel and dime you.) When your pet's health is on the line, you need competence and compassion. not arrogance and neglect. I wouldn't trust them with a routine check-up, let alone a serious medical issue. Avoid this place at all costs.
