Great Cats Seek Loving Homes

If your family prefers a younger or easier to care for companion animal, don't pass up these beauties.


NuggetHi, my name is Nugget. I am a 3 year old altered female Domestic Short Hair. I am gentle and friendly. I love cat treats, in fact I love them so much they named me Nugget! You’ll know I’m happy because I purr, and it’s pretty easy to make me purr so I’m sure wešll be great friends. My number is A422630.



MochaHi, I’m Mocha. I am a 2 year old altered female Domestic Short Hair. I’m a pretty girl and I love to play. My favorite toys are furry mice, bells and just about anything else I can bat around and chase. Sometimes I can play a bit rough so I would probably do better with teenage children. I would like to be the only cat in your dog-free home so if you’re looking for a fun, energetic new friend come by and meet me! A421268



KingHi, my name is King. I am a 4 year old altered male Domestic Short Hair. I am friendly and vocal. I love to meet new people who will rub my belly. I am also a fantastic lap cat. I have to be extra outgoing and expressive because I don’t have a tail anymore, but I’m still just as friendly and fun as ever! I love to play with toy mice and I’d probably get along well with kids age 6 and up. Come by and meet me, I’m always ready to go. A421286



OliverHello, Oliver here. I am a 3 year old altered male Domestic Short Hair. I am a big, beautiful black cat who is a big lover boy. I am really sweet and very affectionate. I have very beautiful eyes, don’t you think? I am a gentle fellow and with proper introduction I could probably learn to live with other cats and children. I did have an unfortunate accident and lost part of my tail. I am still somewhat sensitive about it so my new family will need to take measures to protect me from “tail pulls” if there are small children or dogs in your home. On behalf of all black cats in shelters, I urge you to give us a chance. We watch the more colorful cats get adopted quickly, while we wait and wait. Please don’t pass us by. I will make such a great companion for someone. Please stop by and ask for ID A317486.

* These are only some of the wonderful cats we have for adoption. We do our best to update this page regularly (with volunteers) but we can't guarantee every animal shown here is still available. It's also typical that we have cats in the shelter who haven't yet had their photos taken, etc, so even though the site has been updated, that doesn't mean you're seeing all the cats here that are actually available at our shelter. So please come down to our shelter! It's a loving place and we are happy to help you find the perfect cat for you.

To hear a recording of the most current listing of animals for adoption, call 650/340-7022, ext. 705.

To adopt an animal, please visit the shelter in person to meet with a customer service representative and the animal. You can download an adoption profile form for a cat or a dog, complete the form and bring it with you to the shelter. Adoption hours are 11 am to 7 pm on the weekdays and 11 am to 6 pm on the weekends. (Note that it is often not possible for our staff to complete adoptions for visitors arriving less than an hour before our posted closing times.)

Our staff is busy taking care of the animals and making matches, therefore we are unable to answer inquiries about individual animals over email. Our shelter is a warm, loving, welcoming place. Please come visit us in person!
