Community Cat Advocates hosts an in-store adoption showcase at the Vallejo PetSmart, featuring cats and kittens ready for loving homes. Every animal adopted through the group has been spayed or neutered, tested, microchipped, and vaccinated according to age and time in rescue. They are also dewormed and treated for fleas. As a foster-based rescue, the cats live in home settings when they are not at adoption events, which helps them adjust to family life. Adoption appointments at the Vallejo PetSmart are available for approved applications and specific cats. Community Cat Advocates is entirely volunteer run, with team members donating their time to help place animals in safe, caring homes. For questions or to request an adoption application, email CCA.AdoptionTeam@gmail.com.
