Cats of Oceanside
For the cats who call Oceanside home
Cats of Oceanside bridges the gap between our coastal community and the street cats that call it home through rescue, education, and advocacy. We believe every friendly cat deserves a safe and loving home.
Our Story
Cats of Oceanside was founded by San Diego native Alison Smith, driven by her deep love for cats and desire to lead a life filled with purpose and service.
She established the organization in 2021 with the dual purpose of supporting the cats of Oceanside as well as advocating for them and providing community education. She aims to debunk the stigma surrounding cat people and illuminate the transformative power of loving felines and practicing compassion.
