In 1997 Rosi Mirko founded Town Cats, an adoption center and sanctuary for cats, with the support of her husband Albert. Her goal to alleviate the suffering of stray, abandoned, unwanted and feral cats while also serving as an advocate for all cats in Santa Clara County is the foundation of Town Cats’s mission. Rosi’s incredible work for the community and for Town Cats is forever remembered through her love and passion for saving cat’s lives.
Rosi’s long term Legacy Cats have been at the shelter for years, some a decade, awaiting their forever homes. Below are are all that remain of Rosi’s long term Legacy Cats. They are in need of special forever homes from heroes in our community who can carry on Rosi’s legacy. Please consider being a hero for these special kitties by opening up your heart and offering love and a home to our legacy cats.
All of these special cats are a part of our “In it for Life” program — a program where Town Cats will help cover all basic medical costs for the life of the cat — and all have their adoption fees waved.
In support of Rosi’s Legacy Cats, Town Cats has commissioned artists to uniquely highlight the beauty and personality of each cat. These one-of-a-kind original masterpieces will accompany each cat home on the day of their adoption — our thank you gift to you for supporting Rosi’s Legacy.
