Full Circle Cats

Changing the lives of cats and the community

We believe in improving the lives of cats and the communities that care for them through spay/neuter, adoption, and education.

Full Circle Cats is based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are proud to be celebrating ten years of providing resources and support in Oakland, CA and the East Bay!

We have a community cat program, an education program, and a foster-based adoption program. We help connect the community to spay/neuter and medical resources for unowned cats, provide educational workshops for the public, and help get high-risk cats off the street and into homes.

Courtney Gustafson:
Poets Square

Thursday, August 28 at 7:00 p.m.
Mrs. Dalloway’s Bookstore, Berkeley, CA

Join us as Courtney Gustafson shares her new book Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats. An intimate memoir about the importance of community and care in a world that can feel impossibly broken — and a story about accidentally going viral while tending to a colony of feral cats.

Courtney will be joined in conversation by Kirstin Cummings, the executive director of Full Circle Cats.

Looking for spay/neuter?

While we do host some big spay/neuter clinic days, we unfortunately cannot meet all of the need out there. We receive an overwhelming number of requests every week. Check out these additional spay/neuter and trap-neuter-return (TNR) resources and clinics – they can also help support you in helping the cats in your area!

Bring home a friend!

Check out our adoptable cats and kittens on Petfinder! We are foster-based, so if you see a cat or kitten you’d like to meet, let us know.
