"Two vehicles collided at Julian and 15th streets around 1:05 p.m., causing one to veer into The Dancing Cat at 702 East Julian St., a San Jose Police Department spokesperson said. A volunteer at the center suffered a sore arm, President Ann Chasson and Director Mary Rubin said in an interview. None of the 11 cats at the center at the time were injured or escaped. One of the drivers also complained of pain but was not taken to the hospital, police said."
"All of the cats were moved out of the center following the crash. Adoptions are expected to continue as usual, but instead of coming to the center's living room-like space, people will visit the cats in their foster homes, Rubin said. However, the center's immediate future as a place where cat-oriented community events are held is less certain. It's really the community-centric part of our mission that is on pause for a few moments, Rubin said."
A nonprofit cat adoption center near downtown San Jose closed after an SUV crashed into its exterior wall following a two-vehicle collision at Julian and 15th streets around 1:05 p.m. A volunteer suffered a sore arm and one driver complained of pain but no one was hospitalized. None of the 11 cats inside were injured or escaped; all were moved out and will be shown in foster homes for adoptions. Extensive damage to an exterior wall forced the center to pause on-site community events while repairs and the cause of the crash are investigated.
