Kid-Friendly Cats for Adoption in Goodyear, AZ: 13 Cats Good with Children

Meet Peter Parker, born 5/28/2026 (best estimate), Shy, Sweet, and Full of Wonder! With his striking silver-gray coat and soulful eyes, Peter Parker is as handsome as he is sweet. Unlike his fast-moving superhero brother Barry, Peter takes a more observant approach to life. He’s a bit shy and skittish at first, often watching the action safely from across the room—and if he could scale the walls or walk on the ceiling like his namesake to get a better vantage point, he definitely would! Behind his gentle, wallflower nature is a total sweetheart who just needs a little patience and love to feel secure.

Meet Opal, a beautiful 1.5-year-old tan tabby with a big personality

and lots of love to give! She’s playful, cuddly, and quite the

talker, always ready to share her thoughts with her favorite people.

Opal enjoys the company of kids and would make a wonderful addition to

a loving family. She would do best as the only cat in the home, but

may be able to adapt to a male cat!! She hasn’t had any experience with dogs

so probably would do best in a home without them. Her preferred foods are

Fancy Feast, Friskies and Vibrant Life. She likes the chicken and tuna flavors.

Churus and Temptation treats are her favorites. Opal is up to date on vaccines

Hi, I’m Poppy, a 9-month-old calico kitten with lots of love to give

and a playful little personality! I’m a HUGE cuddler and would love

nothing more than to snuggle up with you whenever I get the chance. I

love to play and have fun and want to have another furry friend in my new family! I get along

great with all kinds of animals and kids, so I’d make the perfect

addition to a family looking for a sweet, playful, and loving

companion! I'm up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, spayed, dewormed, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $240.

Meet our sweet little Verity born 7/12/2026 (best estimate). This little baby doll only wants to please. She makes it unbelievably easy to love her as she will follow you around to get pets and kisses and she will stare at you with those big ole eyes of hers. Little Miss Verity is a friendly little gal that wants nothing more than to spend her days eating, napping and playing with her kitten friends. She does very well with other cats and kittens, kids and she is okay with dogs as long as they aren't too interested in her. Verity requires a furry companion in her new home. She isn't a huge fan of being picked up but she does allow it.

Meet Lowen born 7/12/2026 (best estimate). This little sweetie pie is just as sweet as they come. She can be a bit shy at first but once she settles in, she will ask for belly rubs every chance she gets. Lowen is a quiet little gal, often spending her days watching all that goes on around her. She loves to play with other cats and kittens and doesn't mind dogs as long as they aren't too interested in her. Lowen requires a furry companion in her new home. Because she tends to be a bit shy at first, we recommend she only be in a home with older, gentler kiddos. She is not a huge fan of being held but she does like to snuggle when it's nice and quiet.

Meet Chenille! Chenille is a beautiful, playful little girl with endless curiosity and a love for adventure! She's always exploring, chasing toys, and finding new ways to entertain herself. Once she's worn out from all the fun, she'll happily settle into a cozy spot for a nap, which might just be your lap! She also loves being petted and getting gentle scratches under her chin. Like many playful kittens, Chenille occasionally mistakes fingers and toes for toys, but she's easily redirected to a kicker toy or another fun distraction. Chenille has been around children but would do best in a home with older, cat-savvy kids (12+) who understand and respect her boundaries.

Meet Minx! Minx is an affectionate little lovebug with a sweet personality and an adventurous spirit! While she may seem quiet at first, she's a curious girl who loves exploring new things and playing with her three sisters. Chasing fish and mouse wand toys is one of her favorite activities! Once she's worn out from all the fun, she's happiest being held, petted, or curled up in a cozy lap. Minx has been around children but would do best in a home with older, cat-savvy kids (12+) who understand and respect her boundaries. She isn't comfortable being grabbed or handled roughly and will try to get away when overwhelmed.

Momma, born 5/5/2021 (best estimate), is a sweet, chatty companion who is ready to find her true forever home. Originally found wandering a neighborhood in Scottsdale, she has an amazing story of resilience. Though rescue volunteers tracked down her previous owners, they unfortunately didn’t respond to multiple attempts to reunite them. But Momma isn't looking back—she’s only looking forward to a family who will cherish her the way she deserves.
Momma would thrive with her special person or a very chill family looking for a loving, loyal, and low-key feline friend to give her a well-deserved second chance. She is up-to-date on vaccines, including Rabies, spayed and FIV and FeLV negative. Her

What's up? My name is Sheetz born 7/11/2026 (best estimate). Yeah, like the Wawa competitor. My humans say I bring a very east coast vibe to the southwest and I don't know what that means but I DO know football. Go Birds. I'm a black boy kitten with big ol' paws I have NOT grown into yet. Ask all the kits in the neighborhood, they call me Big Paws. Same story with my ears. We're working on it. My resume: Professional player. Professional napper. I go hard playing, then I go harder taking loooooong hard naps. No in-between. I like playing with dogs, cats and small children. I would require a companion animal in my forever home or someone that is home a lot to be with me. If you're looking for a cuddle bug who will chase a wand toy like it's the Super Bowl and then pass out on your chest for 3 business hours, I'm your guy. I'm still a baby, so I'm learning how to be a gentleman. I promise to bring loyalty, chaos, and east coast charm to your couch. Sheetz is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $240

I bet you are wondering how I got my name... Well, there was a pulled pork sandwich. It was in packaging. I decided that packaging was a suggestion, not a rule, and I chewed straight through it and took some VERY LARGE bites before anyone could stop me. You can now find me around your house in that exact same position. On my side. Mouth full. No regrets. I'm Buc-ees born 7/11/2026 (best estimate) - black boy kitten, professional sandwich thief, full-time loaf. Other cats? Amazing with them. Love them. 10/10 would cuddle. Dogs? Couldn't care less. Are you a dog? Cool. Anyway… Scary stuff? The doorbell is the ONLY thing that scares us. Which is fair. Why is it screaming? Important notes: No Outdoors, we like our pork sandwiches door dashed. Also, for some reason I am weirdly attracted to crystals. If you have crystals, I will be sitting on them. Charging them. Guarding them. It's a whole thing. If you want a sweet, silly, dog-proof, cat-friendly, kid-approved, crystal-loving gremlin who will steal your BBQ and then nap in the same position he stole it in, I'm your guy. I would require a furry companion or someone that is home alot to be with me. Come meet Buc-ees with no long drive to the West Valley. Buc-ees is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $240.

Meet Clapton born 3/18/2026. He showed up at the Crossroads — tiny, loud, and absolutely sure he was Layla's long-lost brother.​ By day he's slow and sweet, just waiting to tell you You Look Wonderful Tonight. By night? Pure Sunshine of Your Love zoomies around the living room. He'll spend hours looking out the window, thinking about Tears in Heaven, and then come flop on your chest like he wants to Change the World one purr at a time. He may be small, but he’s got a big old soul and a little White Room he’s claimed as his own (aka the laundry basket). Warning: Once you meet him, it’s After Midnight and you’re already in love. Clapton does not require a companion animal but it would require someone to be home most of the time with him. Clapton is up to date on vaccines including rabies, tested negative for FELV/FIV, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $240.

Meet Dylan born 3/18/2026. He wasn't Blowin' in the Wind when we found him — he was curled up by the bonfire, tangled up in a blanket. He's not Like a Rolling Stone, he actually loves to stay right by your side. But don't get him Tangled Up in Blue — he's a blue-collar cuddle monster in a tiny brown coat. He spends his mornings Knockin' on Heaven's Door (aka your bedroom door at 5am), his afternoons watching how The Times They Are a-Changin' out the window, and his nights Forever Young by the fire. Small, soft, and a little bit Mister Tambourine Man when he gets the zoomies at midnight. If you're looking for a shelter from the storm, Dylan is it.

Hi, I'm Moonlight! Born 4/5/2026 (best estimate). I'm a sweet little tortie girl who's ready to take over your heart and home by storm!

You may have heard that tortoiseshell kitties have "Tortitude." Well, I have very little tortitude! I get along well with other cats after a proper introduction, and I'd love to have another younger buddy around to roughhouse with. My foster mom says I "like to play rough," so an older or timid friend may not be the best match for me. I may be ok as an only kitty, but only if you are around all day to be my BFF.
