Love the Ocean? So Do These Bay Cat Beauties

They hear it all the time: “‘You’ve got to help that cat – he’s right by the water! Cats hate water!’ Nope, not Tommy. He loves to nap right beside the lapping waves and feel the sea breeze fluff his fur while the water throws sparkles on him.” So say the nice people at Project Bay Cat.


“He’s a pretty special boy, isn’t he?” Tommy is one of many cats looked after by Project Bay Cat, an innovative and successful program that humanely manages a large group of community cats living along San Francisco Bay. Project Bay Cat volunteers have found homes for 118 cats since they began in 2004. Ninety-six percent of the cats have been spayed and neutered. This is Captain, “the self-appointed guardian of the shoreline.”


These gorgeous healthy cats are fed daily and looked after by dedicated volunteers.


They even have their own hand-laid stone cat bridge to help them reach a feeding station.


To learn more about Project Bay Cat and enjoy their videos of Tommy and other cats who have been placed in loving homes, go to their Facebook page.


Project Bay Cat was created in 2004 as a collaborative effort between a municipality, the Homeless Cat Network and the community. It has grown into a model program that others around the world have followed and replicated.

Project Bay Cat is an innovative, successful program that humanely manages a large group of community cats living along the Foster City levee in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Created in 2004 as a collaboration between the City of Foster City, Homeless Cat Network and the community, the program balances the humane treatment of the cat population and the needs of the City and users of the levee/pedway.

Homeless and Feral Cat Population Control Tool Kit
Presented by Project Bay Cat Collaborators: City of Foster City, Homeless Cat Network and Sequoia Audubon Society

If you have feral, stray or homeless cats in your area, this tool kit can help you determine the best course of action to humanely manage the colony to stabilize the population and care for the cats while also meeting the needs of others that are impacted by the cats’ presence. Working together in a unique partnership, the City of Foster City, the Homeless Cat Network, and Sequoia Audubon Society joined forces to humanely address the growth of feral cat populations common to many communities. This Tool Kit was developed by the collaborators of Project Bay Cat for others who wish to take a similar plan of action to humanely achieve positive results. The Tool Kit is more of a hands-on implementation tool for you, rather than a case study for Project Bay Cat, although where applicable, we have included examples of our effort to demonstrate the application of key processes.
The following is a step-by-step plan, complete with a variety of online resources, which may help you in this effort. The collaborators of Project Bay Cat wish you the best of luck in your humane endeavors!

6. Many years ago when visting

Galveston Island, TX. I came across a large colony of cats that lived near the sea wall. I was shocked at first but later that morning I saw the volunteers in droves putting out food and water.

I wish I had taken some pictures.. It was magical.
