These Oakland-based felines are up for adoption and in need of a good homePhotos: Petfinder

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

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups 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.)

Lexi, Maine coon mix

Lexi is a social animal — she gets along well with other cats. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she's spayed.

Here's more from Lexi:

I am a strikingly beautiful kitty with long, luxurious fur, a super fluffy tail and incredible eyes. Thanks to the volunteers of the MCA kitty cuddler team, I am now relaxed and trusting of people and love laps, pets, snuggling and cuddling. I can be a single kitty or with other kitties and I will thrive in a quieter home.

Hershey, Maine coon mix

Hershey is an adorable female Maine coon mix currently residing at Maine Coon Adoptions (MCA).

Hershey loves dogs. No other cats, please: She is looking for cat-free home. Good news: She's already house-trained. She already has had all of her shots, and she is spayed.

Here's more from Hershey:

I love to play. I love to sit on laps when we are watching TV together, and I'll also sit next to you. I love to sleep on the bed with you, and if you chat with me, I will chat right back. When you call my name, I'll come to find you, and I will greet you at the door when you come home. If you hold me with my paws over your shoulders, I will burrow into your neck. So you can tell that I am a super social, friendly, outgoing, and happy little girl.

Wyatt, domestic shorthair mix

Wyatt is a sweet male domestic shorthair mix currently housed at Maine Coon Adoptions (MCA).

Wyatt is the life of the party — he's happy to keep company with other cats and dogs. He already has had all of his shots, and he's neutered. He's already house-trained.

More from Wyatt:

I can actually be a little shy at first but once I'm comfortable I'm very friendly and a real love bug. I'm known for my loud purrs as soon as you start brushing or petting me and then I will be your friend for life. I have two sisters (Madison and Sydney) who also need a new home, in case you are looking to adopt all three of us, but I'm hoping I can go with at least one of my sisters.

Bella, Maine coon mix

Bella is a darling female Maine coon mix staying at Maine Coon Adoptions (MCA).

Bella's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She is vaccinated and spayed.

More from Bella:

My name is Bella, which as I'm sure you know means "beautiful" in Italian. And I am, as you can see, quite beautiful, with my fluffy black fur highlighted with patches of white. I'm just as beautiful in personality. I'm very affectionate and quite a little love bug and am looking for a calm and loving environment where I will happily lie right next to you to keep you company and purr the minute you start petting me. I am a wonderful companion and conversationalist and love to play (especially with crisp tissue paper or mouse toys or crinkle balls) and to gaze out the window.

Maizy, domestic shorthair mix

Maizy is a charming female domestic shorthair mix in the care of Maine Coon Adoptions (MCA).

Maizy is eager to make friends — she gets along well with kids, cats or dogs. Maizy is spayed and vaccinated. She's already house-trained.

Here's more from Maizy:

My name is Maizy and I'm a confident and outgoing little girl who is happy, loving and trusting. I learned to have a lot of confidence in myself and trust in humans. So, I had a great start in life. I love other kitties and I love to wrestle and play with them, and I can also keep myself happy with a little mouse toy or ball. I love laps and I love to purr — sometimes I will just sit and purr — even without pets from my foster Mom. I'm just a happy girl. I do need to be adopted into a home with a playful kitten or friendly adult cat.

Lilith, Maine coon mix

Lilith is a charming female Maine coon mix currently housed at Maine Coon Adoptions (MCA).

Lilith gets along well with kids, dogs or cats. She already has had all of her shots, and she's spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's more from Lilith:

I am quite stunning, with my Maine Coon characteristics and seal lynx point markings. I also have spectacular blue eyes that will draw you in and offer a window into just what a sweet and beautiful soul I am. I just love people and being near people, but am also fine with other friendly cats. I don't need much to keep me happy — just a warm comfortable place to lay my head, good and plentiful amounts of food (I need to gain a little weight), and people who will love me and be there for me. In return, I promise to love you unconditionally.
