Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some lovable kitties near you? There are dozens of deserving cats up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Tampa.

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.

Noogie, American shorthair

Noogie is an adorable female American shorthair cat being cared for at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Noogie gets along well with other cats and dogs. She is already spayed and vaccinated, and she has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's a note from Noogie:

My brother, Munchie, and I just celebrated our first birthday. Even though we are no longer tiny kittens we still love to play. We love our foster mommy very much but we want to have a human we can call our own. We are both shy until we learn to trust you then we turn into purring, biscuit-making lap kitties. We would need a quiet home with no children, but we get along with other kitties and cat-friendly dogs. Bonded pair, must adopt with Munchie.

Jilly, American shorthair

Jilly is a darling female American shorthair cat in the care of St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Jilly is a social animal, and she'll get along great with your dogs and cats. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She has all of her shots, and she's spayed.

Here's a note from Jilly:

I love laying on Mom's lap, getting kisses and exploring. What I do not like is is the other kitties rushing me. I can get a little testy and I let them know. I love older kitties and snugfling with them. When I was little, I was roughly handled by some children, so I can get a little nervous now and then, when there is chaos or i am grabbed too quickly. If you give me a moment, I settle right down. I am a happy girl though and once I know you, I love to climb in your lap and love you.

Namaste, American shorthair

Namaste is an adorable female American shorthair cat in the care of St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.

Namaste loves to socialize, and she loves children, dogs or cats. She has been vaccinated and spayed. She's already house-trained.

Namaste's current caretakers say:

This funky mamma, Namaste was an outdoor kitty who liked to be around people. A woman who was feeding her realized she was pregnant, and that's when St. Francis Rescue stepped in. She had four babies, and was a very loving mother. Now her babies are all adopted and she is waiting for her own home. Because Namaste was an outdoor cat for so long she is weary of loud noises and new people. She would prefer a quiet home. Although her right eye may look a little cloudy she has no vision problems and loves to play.
