Looking to add a new companion to the family? There are dozens of cute kitties up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Francisco, so you won't have to look far to find the perfect fit. Some shelters in the Bay Area have temporarily closed or reduced their hours amid the coronavirus pandemic, so if you are interested in an available pet, contact the animal rescue for its current adoption process.

Gary, tabby and domestic shorthair mix
Gary is a sweet male tabby and domestic shorthair mix in the care of Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue. The rescue is offering virtual meet-and-greets with pets during the shelter-in-place order, according to its website.
He is vaccinated and house-trained.
More about Gary (and his pal Corina):
Hi! We are Gary and Corina! We were rescued in Stockton. We are buds and would love to be adopted together. We are a little bit on the shy side initially so are looking for a family committed to working with us to build our confidence. Are you up for the job? Apply today to adopt us together!

JJ, Persian
JJ is a female Persian cat being kept at Persian and Himalayan Cat Rescue.
JJ will get along great with your other cats, but her ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment. JJ is spayed, has had all her shots and is already house-trained.
Notes from JJ's caretakers:
Oh so soft and oh so much fun, JJ has personality plus and loves to be the queen of your world. But, she’s a kindly queen and rules with love. She’d probably prefer a quiet home with no small kids or dogs, but another mellow cat might be just fine.
Apply to adopt JJ today at Petfinder.
Bessie, domestic shorthair
Bessie is a female domestic shorthair cat being kept at Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue.
Have no fear: She is already house-trained. She has had all her shots, too.
More about Bessie:
Hi, I'm little Bessie, but I'm growing like a weed. I was rescued from the tough streets of San Francisco. Despite my rough beginning, I am learning how to trust humans. And honestly, it has been a pretty easy process, considering I will do pretty much anything for a tasty treat! I am also a sucker for wand toys and would play with you all day if you let me.
