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

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

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.)


Willow, calico

Willow is a winsome female calico cat currently housed at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.

She's mastered her house-training etiquette and has had all her shots.

More about Willow:

My family could no longer keep me, and I found myself homeless in Stockton. Whew! Luckily, Give Me Shelter scooped me up, and now I'll get my second chance for a truly forever home. I am flirty, fun and social.

Sierra, domestic shorthair mix

Sierra is a female domestic shorthair mix in the care of Wonder Cat Rescue.

She has mastered her house-training etiquette. Sierra is also spayed and has had all her shots.

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

Sierra is one of the cuddliest cats you'll ever meet. She absolutely loves snuggling on laps, and her favorite time of the day is bedtime, when she can finally lay on top of her human companions while purring herself to sleep. She will lay as close to you as possible at almost all times of the day, making us wonder how it's possible for a cat to love cuddles this much.

Chloe is a social butterfly, and she loves other cats. She is already vaccinated and spayed. No need to worry: She is already house-trained.

From Chloe's current caretaker:

She is very affectionate and loves to be held and petted. Chloe is curious, smart and such a lovable girl. She sinks right into your arms.

Jake, tabby and domestic mix

Jake is a male tabby and domestic mix currently residing at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.

No other cats, please: Jake is looking for cat-free household. He has mastered his house-training etiquette, and he is vaccinated.

More about Jake:

I was adopted out from Give Me Shelter years ago. Sadly, my person was in a terrible accident. They put me in boarding for months, but it was just too stressful for me. They decided it was best to give me back to the rescue to give me a second chance at love. I'm a sweet and shy boy. I get along with cat-friendly dogs but don't prefer to be in the company of other felines. I'm looking for a quiet, mellow place to call home.

More about Licorice:

I was rescued in San Francisco. I was going to be put back outside, and fortunately Give Me Shelter intervened. I now have a chance to be in a loving home, safely indoors. I can be shy initially, but I love to play, love food and love other kitties.

Kumquat, domestic shorthair

Kumquat is a charming female domestic shorthair cat being kept at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.

Fear not: She is already house-trained. She is also vaccinated.

More about Kumquat:

I'm shorthaired, unlike my family. I'm outgoing, sweet and very curious. I'm a little more independent than my brother, Tangelo. I am an expert at jumping, playing and zooming. I even taught myself to zoom on the big cat wheel once I was heavy enough to make it turn. My foster mom is so proud of me. I'm a good cuddler, too.
