Already comfortable with the basics of TNR? Do you want to learn how to use a drop trap, selective trapping, and how to get the trap savvy cats at your colony?

This free hands-on workshop will cover advanced trapping techniques, unconventional trapping circumstances, and special traps.

BEGINNING TNR WORKSHOP
with Feral Change
Come meet the Feral Change team, and learn how to do TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) in your neighborhood! TNR is the humane trapping of feral cats to get them spayed or neutered, vaccinated, checked for overall health, then returned to their colony. This important practice helps reduce the number of cats and kittens that end up in shelters or on the streets, decrease euthanasia rates, and save lives. In this free, in-person, beginner's workshop, you'll learn all the steps to get started doing TNR — including how to use a humane cat trap, the necessary steps to prep cats for surgery and recovery, and more! Reserve your spot at feralchange.org/events or through the registration link below!
If you are having trouble reserving your spot at an event, please email us at reservations[@]cattownoakland.org.
Previous Events
Kittens on the Green
Subpar Mini Golf and Cat Town are hosting Kittens on the Green! Join us to meet adoptable kittens and play mini golf, with half the proceeds supporting our rescue work.
Since tee times are expected to sell out quickly, we strongly encourage you to book your mini golf reservation in advance. Donations are suggested, but not required. We hope to see you there!
Paw n Draw
Grab your favorite sketch pad and put your life-drawing skills to the test! If you're a fan of drawing, a fan of cats, or better yet, a fan of both, we've got the perfect night for you. The quiet sounds of sketching intrigue our cats, so be warned — they just may try to help out with your artistic creation.
This event is BYO art supplies, but we'll provide ballpoint pens, pencils, and crayons you can use. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase from the RAWR Coffee Bar.
Meditation with Cats
Relax, with cats. Jaene Leonard leads this iRest Yoga Nidra, a guided body-sensing meditation delivered while you sit comfortably, surrounded by cats in the Cat Zone! Meditate and vibrate at that perfect kitty frequency.
Cat Toy Workshop
Hosted by Rock Paper Scissors Collective
Are you tired of boring toys that don't measure up to your cat's unique personality and talents? Join Cat Town and Rock Paper Scissors for a cat toy making workshop! Learn how to make pom poms, cat puzzles, toys that spring, and more — all from household and upcycled materials!
All funds raised by this event will support Cat Town and our co-hosts, Rock Paper Scissors Collective. No experience needed, all ages are welcome to participate. All materials will be provided.
