Cats in San Francisco looking for their fur-ever homesPhotos: Petfinder

Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some lovable kitties near you? There are dozens of great cats up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Francisco.

Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of cats currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Starla, domestic shorthair

Starla is a darling female domestic shorthair cat currently housed at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue. She is vaccinated and house-trained, but should remain an indoor cat.

Starla "tells" potential caretakers:

I'm a teeny bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'm real sweet. I love to play and am chatty. Plus, I'm like having your own mini-panther. I get along with my kitty friends, too.

While I'm a little reserved at first, once we get to know each other, I'm a total love. I have a long luxurious coat and am looking for someone who loves to brush me.

Garth, tabby

Garth is a sweet male tabby cat in the care of Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue. He's indoor-only, already house-trained and has all of his shots.

More about Garth:

I was rescued by a good Samaritan in Fresno. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I warm up, I'm super sweet and love my kitty friends. I need a playmate in my new home.

Navigator, domestic shorthair and Dilute calico mix

Navigator is a sweet female domestic shorthair and Dilute calico mix being cared for at Wonder Cat Rescue.

Navigator is patient, and she plays well with kids. Navigator is spayed and vaccinated, and she's already house-trained.

Here's what Navigator's friends at Wonder Cat Rescue think of her:

Navigator's name comes from her insane sense of direction. When I first saw her, she walked ahead of me and turned right at my house, like a navigation system that knew where I was headed. She has transitioned nicely to being an indoor kitty. We think she would love to be your one and only, but she might also do okay after a slow introduction to another cat-friendly kitty. She is being fostered in San Francisco.

Wolfie, domestic longhair

Wolfie is an adorable male domestic longhair cat currently housed at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue. He has all his shots, and he is already house-trained.

More about Wolfie (in his own "words"):

I was rescued in the Central Valley. Lucky for me, I scratched the right back door. The family couldn't keep me, but they hooked me up with Give Me Shelter.
