Cats for Adoption in Hayward, CA: 30 Cats Looking for a Home

Hello lovely humans! My name is Kitty and I am a 2 year old, small-sized, black, spayed female, domestic medium-hair cat. I'm a gentle and shy sweetheart who is looking for her forever home, one that can provide time and patience as I can start out quite timid. New faces and environments can scare me so I just need some time to collect myself as I adjust to my surroundings. Don't expect me to open up on the first day, but if you're patient enough, I'll slowly start to grow more comfortable and my true colors will shine through! I love gentle pets and strokes along my gorgeous fur and being close to people I've warmed up to. My favorite spot? Why, your lap of course! I'm not really into playing with toys so my ideal home would be one that loves to cuddle and doesn't mind slow beginnings as I warm up to you. I'd do best in a quieter household and if kids are present, teens and above only please. :) I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Momo is an adorable, affectionate, brown tabby kitten. This boy LOVES to be petted and loves to cuddle. He is very talkative with his cute little raspy voice and is extremely food motivated. Momo is very proud of his gorgeous spotted belly! He shows it off all the time and loves to have it rubbed and even kissed.

You would never suspect that this little guy had such a rough start. Momo was found in a parking lot with a severely fractured front leg. He has had a remarkable recovery and is now a normal playful kitten. But he may have a little limp and needs to be monitored as he becomes fully grown.

Louie – Head Scratches Are My Love Language Hi! I'm Louie, and if you've got a free hand for head scratches, we're already going to be great friends. They're one of my favorite things, and I'll happily lean right into them while soaking up all the attention. I'm a sweet, affectionate kitten who settles into new places pretty quickly. Once I know I'm safe, my playful and curious side shines through. I love exploring, chasing toy mice, pouncing on catnip toys, and seeing what exciting things the day has in store. When playtime is over, I'm more than happy to be picked up, cuddled, and spend time with my favorite people.

Jax – A Sweet Boy Worth the Wait Hi! I'm Jax, and I like to take a little time to settle into new places. Once I realize I'm safe, though, my sweet personality starts to shine. Give me a little patience, and before you know it, I'll be asking for one of my favorite things in the world—chin scratches! I'm an affectionate, easy-to-handle kitten who enjoys being picked up and cuddled once I get comfortable. I love spending time with my people, whether we're playing together or just relaxing after a fun day of adventures. Like any good kitten, I'm active, playful, and curious. I have a blast chasing toy mice, batting around catnip toys, and investigating everything around me.

Meet Zipper!

Hi there lovelies, my name is Binkie! I am a 6 month old, black and white, spayed female, domestic shorthair who is looking for her furever family. I'm currently on the smaller side as I'm still a growing girl. I'm a sweetie pie who is affectionate and enjoys both my quality time with my fave people and playtime with my fave toys (shout out to my ping pong balls and plushies) I love being close and sitting in laps, but as the kitten life goes, one moment I'm into cuddles, the next, I'm all about playing! Life's about balance after all, right?! So if you're looking for a lifelong companion with adorable boba eyes and a friendly and playful spirit, then what are you waiting for?! Come on down to the shelter so we can meet. :)

Hello there guys and gals! My name is Sunny and I am a 1 year old, spayed female, medium-sized, domestic shorthair torbie cat who is looking for her forever home. I'm a loving and affectionate girl and love spending time with people. I'm a social kitty and love meeting new people and saying hi in the form of adorable chirp-like meows in hopes of getting some cheek and chin scratches and arching my back in bliss. I'm more into people than I am playing so I'm looking for a home that is also interested in all the snuggles. So if you're looking for a lovebug in the form of cutie pie chonk, then I'm your girl! Come on down to the shelter and let's meet!

Mia is a beautiful 1-year-old girl who is affectionate and enjoys rubbing against your legs and sitting beside you. She has a calm nature but still enjoys playtime. Her 2-year old buddy Leo is a handsome boy and equally sweet, with a very laid-back personality. Both love being petted and groomed. Mia is a little more outgoing with new people, while Leo just needs a bit of time to feel comfortable.

Both are good with children. Neither have been around dogs. They are accustomed to being strictly indoor living and would very much like to be adopted together. Mia and Leo are spayed/neutered and up to date on their vaccinations.

Meet Mocha & Latte — Bonded Sisters

Mocha (black, short hair) and Latte (gray tabby, medium hair) are bonded sisters who were rescued from a backyard. These cuties have been spayed and vaccinated through Nine Lives, and have been inseparable ever since!

Beautiful and petite Sadie is a kitten at heart when it comes to her favorite toys in the world -- pom pom balls! She delightfully bats and tosses them in the air without a care in the world. Let's just say that she is one very happy cat when I dig out the multiple pom pom balls that get stuck under furniture (a daily routine). Sadie's sweet personality shows when she greets you for pets by lowering her chin and offering you the top of her head for a gentle pat. She is a curious girl following me around, always interested in what's going on. Sadie warms up slowly to new people but once she bonds, she will be your devoted companion. She gets along with another cat but she would also be fine as an only pet. Dogs and children are untested but would likely do best in a home that is quiet and calm. We estimate that Sadie was born around January 2020. Kitty Bio 3876MB-Sa.

Rocky and his siblings, Loki Loe and Dosa Doe were rescued at a community cat feeding station. Rocky was found weeks after the first two but his social skills did not suffer. Initially shy, all kittens have blossomed into friendly playful pets. They like stuffed toys, mice, crinkle balls and more. Time with their humans and wand toys makes for a great playdate. After exercising and snacks, the kittens like afternoon naps. This gets them ready for the next play session.
Dosa has been adopted but Rocky and Loki Loe are great friends. They can be adopted as singles or together.

Hey there, I'm Chiltoma! I'm an 8-month-old, medium-sized, gray tabby, neutered male cat looking for my furever home. I'm a little bit shy in new situations, but before you know it, I'll be rolling over for belly rubs and heatbutting you for affection! I'm a gentle sweetheart who enjoys being held close to for some warm cuddles. I become the ultimate purring machine - once I get going, I can't stop! I also have a playful streak and love chasing after toys of all kinds! I'm happy doing either as long as I'm with you. I would do best in a home who has some experience with shy cats, so I can take my time to feel safe and comfortable with you. I'm also not the biggest fan of other cats, so I would ideally like to be a solo guy! But that just means I get to have all the attention to myself and lots of time for us to bond. Ready for a fun cuddle buddy to play, relax, and cuddle up with you? I'm your guy! Stop by and ask for me,

MODESTO, CA: Tiny paws, big personality! Maverick is a playful little bundle of energy who believes every toy is meant to be chased, every box is a perfect hiding spot, and every human is a potential best friend.

Hello friends, I am Meeko! I am a handsome, two year old, neutered gray tabby domestic short hair who is medium in size and is lookin for his forever home! I'm a sweet boy who can sometimes start off a bit timid as I like to take in all the sights and sounds around me before I can feel comfortable. Once I've settled, you'll see my affectionate and loving side come out as I rub against you for cheek and chin scratches on my adorable, cherub face. You might even find me crawling into your lap for some extra close bonding time. While I love seeking attention, I can also sometimes get a little overstimulated so I'm looking for a family who will understands when I need my space and me-time. Other days, I have a playful side that is itching to come out! I love playing with wand toys and pipe cleaners; it's a great way for me to get my energy out! I enjoy people, but am not always fond of other feline friends so I am looking for a forever home where I can be the only cat. Loud noises can also be a bit much for me so I would also do best in a household with teens and older if children are present. If you think we might be a good match, then come on down to the shelter so we can test out the waters and you can hopefully take me home with you! <3
