Join Angus & Friends Cat Rescue's Community Today

Meet some adorable kitties looking for their forever homes, bring a picnic lunch, and enjoy wine tasting from TwiningVine Winery!

Join us for wine tasting and meet some of our adoptable cats & kittens looking for a forever home! Bring your friends, and a picnic lunch if you'd like, and enjoy the surroundings at Castro Valley's only estate winery. Parking and admission into this venue is free,  and wine-tasting is just $10 per person.  (Please note that this event will be held outdoors. If the weather is extremely hot on the day of this event, we may not be able to have our cats present.)

Although we won’t be conducting on-site adoptions at this event, Deborah MacDonald, the Executive Director of Angus & Friends, will be present to provide information about any kitty you’re interested in adopting and to explain our adoption process.
