Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some charming cats? There are dozens of darling 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.)


Shelby, domestic medium hair

Shelby is a charming female domestic medium hair cat currently housed at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.

Fear not: She is already house-trained. Shelby has had all her shots.

More from Shelby:

I was abandoned in a parking lot. Fortunately, I was found by a Good Samaritan and brought to the city shelter. Unfortunately, because I was a little too shy and didn't adjust to the shelter environment, they were going to send me back outside. Whoa! What?!? Lucky for me, Give Me Shelter found out about me and scooped me up into their rescue. Whew! I was really over being outside. What I'd like is a nice, warm, quiet home with a family who is patient and will work with me to feel safe and build my confidence. Once I start to trust you, I'm a big fan of chin scratches and I am quite lovable.

Celeste, Persian

Celeste is a female Persian cat currently residing at Persian and Himalayan Cat Rescue.

Celeste is a social butterfly — she's happy to keep company with other cats, dogs and children. Her vaccinations are already up-to-date, and she's spayed. She is already house-trained.

Here's what Celeste's friends at Persian and Himalayan Cat Rescue think of her:

Celeste has love written all over her face. She especially loves — not in any particular order — laps, a sunny spot in her home, and other friendly cats to play with. She will be a joyful addition to her new family.

Champ, domestic and Turkish angora mix

Champ is a sweet male domestic and Turkish angora mix being cared for at Wonder Cat Rescue.

Champ is the life of the party — he gets along well with other cats. He has had all of his shots, and he is neutered. Fear not: He's already house-trained. Champ is a special-needs pet, so please inquire about his specific care requirements.

From Champ's current caretaker:

Champ is a very affectionate, loyal guy with a gentle spirit. He loves nothing more than curling up next to you while you work or take a nap. He may not be the boldest kitty, but he warms up quickly to people who share his gentle spirit. You can count on him to greet you at the door when you come, and face rubs are his jam.

Salt, domestic shorthair

Salt is a sweet female domestic shorthair cat in the care of Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.

She's already house-trained, and her vaccinations are up-to-date. Salt is a special-needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

Notes from Salt's caretakers:

Salt of Salt and Peppa is the only kitten still looking for her forever home. The rest of her littermates have been adopted. Salt is super social, fun and loves to be around her people, always. She's often right under your feet, so pay attention. Adopt her with a kitty friend and make meowsic together.
