Hi, I’m Layla, a sweet little girl just waiting for someone to call my own.
I may be a little shy when we first meet, but underneath that reserved exterior is a heart full of love just waiting to blossom. Once I feel safe and know I can trust you, my sweet personality shines through, and you’ll discover that my favorite place in the whole world is right beside you... or even better, curled up in your lap.

I’m a cuddly girl who loves human affection and treasures those quiet moments spent close to my favorite person. Your gentle pets, warm hugs, and undivided attention mean the world to me. I don’t need a lot of excitement to be happy. A cozy spot, a little playtime, and someone to love are more than enough. I’m a laid-back little soul with so much love to give.
All I’m missing is my person. Someone who will give me the time to feel safe, the patience to come out of my shell, and the love I’ve been waiting for. In return, I promise to fill your days with soft purrs, cozy cuddles, and the sweetest little companionship.
Could you be the one I’ve been waiting for? I have a whole lot of love tucked inside this tiny heart, and I’m saving it for you.

2. Celeste
Kitten (3 months 27 days) · Female · Tabby (short coat) · 24 mi from South San Francisco




Born July 2026
Celeste will instantly hook you with her darling fuzzy cheeks & gentle purrs. She is from a litter of lucky polydactyl kittens who all have dazzling personalities.
Celeste and her siblings didn’t always appear so lucky. They were brought to us severely malnourished with terrible respiratory infections & other medical concerns. With weeks of careful monitoring & medications, they recovered beautifully. Of course, our efforts were only half the battle. These brave & determined sweethearts showed tremendous strength & courage throughout.
Read more about Celeste
Celeste is gentle yet very energetic. She enjoys jumping over your legs while you watch your shows and is very respectful of your work. She loves to receive affection & enjoys nap piles with her siblings. The best of times is when you bust out the feather wand though!
Due to her young age, she must be adopted with another kitten if there is not another kitten or very playful young adult in the home.
If you’re ready for an unforgettable fluffy ball to join your family, fill out our adoption questionnaire so you can meet her and learn more.

13. Kimura and Leo
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 25 mi from South San Francisco




Meet Kimura (Kimmie for short) and Leo, 5 month old kitten brother and sister, and the perfect combination of temperaments and personality. These two came from a hoarding/ neglect situation and were starved and sick upon intake. Luckily, these two are resilient and pulled through though not all of their siblings were as fortunate. Due to all of the early medical intervention and care, they have grown into quite the tolerant, gentle, and loving duo making them suitable for respectful children.
Kimura (Female, Black nose) - Bold, confident, and rambunctious, she is the first one to show up to the party and the last one to leave. She loves to play, gets along with everyone, seems to like being held and pet, takes medication well, and allows for nail trimming without incident. While she is affectionate and sweet, her number one priority right now is play and she goes all out with a wand and mice (her favorite). She is full of spunk and character. Also, she has the most beautiful multicolor eyes!
Leo (Male, White face) - Gentle, calm, and serene, there is something about this little boy that is hard to put into words. While he loves to play, he also has a slow paced, observant nature that somehow exudes peace and tranquility, reminding his humans to slow down and breathe. When he wants affection, he never imposes or asserts, but rather quietly and patiently waits. He will gently lean into your hand and paw for you in the air without touching you signaling for more love. You will find him curled up around the house in the most cozy of spots sleeping peacefully, though he is more than happy to be stirred for pets or treats. Along with his peaceful, tranquil vibe, he loves plants (primarily eating them) so he will need a home where he is kept safe from himself in that department.

14. Ber and Bolo
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 25 mi from South San Francisco




Meet Ber & Bolo ( about 5 months old), two brothers who also happen to be besties. They came from a hoarding/ neglect situation and were starved and sick upon intake. Luckily, these two are resilient and pulled through though not all of their siblings were as fortunate. Due to all of the early medical intervention and care, they have grown into quite the tolerant, gentle, and loving duo making them suitable for gentle children.
Ber (all gray) - As sweet and loving as they come. He is a purr box and starts rumbling before you even begin touching him. He cuddles wonderfully and is the only of his kitten counterparts who prioritizes affection and cuddling over play (though he also loves to play).
Read more about Ber and Bolo
Very food motivated, easy to trim his nails, takes medication like a little champ, is tolerant of being held and carried and kissed in the face. Gets along wonderfully with the other cats in the home and has good manners after an introductory period. He is still learning to find his voice it seems and gives the sweetest, nearly silent cries for pets and wet food.
Bolo (gray and white) - Slower to warm up and a bit more apprehensive, but ultimately a cuddle and love bug as well who chirps to communicate and meows when it is wet food time. Once comfortable, he is also a spunky and tolerant kitty who is gentle and occasionally gives soft love bites. He likes to run in front of his foster mom while she is walking and flop onto the floor while looking up at her expectantly for pets. He also does this on a few other designated pet spots in the home including the couch and the bed. He also can be a bit hissy when first meeting a new cat but he is all bark and no bite. He now loves and cuddles with all of the older adult cats in the home if they allow him to.
*Both of these boys need a home that will give them the time to acclimate at their own pace and build trust (took about 1-2 weeks after moving to their current foster home to full embrace the humans). After that period, they will reward you with plenty of love and laughs.

Meet the Miniature Panthers — Two Cats, Zero Personal Space!
Big Guy and Crooked Tail are a bonded pair of handsome black cats who take their job as professional lap cats very seriously. Sit on the floor and, within seconds, one of them will likely be in your lap purring like a tiny motorboat. Consider yourself warned.
They also enjoy the finer things in life: lounging on their cat tree, watching out the windows, and generally supervising everything that happens in their kingdom.
The boys spent their first 8 months living outdoors, but they've decided that indoor life is MUCH better. Soft beds? Excellent. Windows? Fascinating. Lap? Obviously.
Big Guy is the outgoing one. He’s friendly with everyone and assumes that anyone he meets is probably a potential friend.
Crooked Tail is a little more cautious and likes to observe things before joining the party. But pull out the chin scratches and he’ll warm up quickly. And then there’s his wonderfully weird tail! When he’s relaxed and curious, his tail curls around his body instead of standing straight up. The vet suspects he was simply born this way. We think it gives him extra personality points.
These two have discovered that being indoor cats is pretty fabulous. Now they just need a forever home where they can continue their important work of purring, lounging, window-watching, and occupying laps.
Two miniature panthers. One big dose of personality. And yes, they come as a package deal.

Roman has two sisters, Gingerbread and Marmalade, and they are a very important part of his world.

26. Domino
Kitten (5 months 15 days) · Female · Tuxedo (short coat) · 24 mi from South San Francisco






Name: Domino
Date of Birth 4/15/2026
Sex: F
FIV/FELV neg / neg
Domino is as sweet as they come. This gentle, cuddly girl is looking for
nothing more than to be your devoted companion. It's hard to believe
she was once a feral kitten, given how affectionate she is now.
She's a lovely tuxedo with medium-length fur, a pink nose, a long
fluffy tail, and delightfully wispy ear hairs. Dom is polite, but
she's not shy about letting you know she loves you - sometimes her
purr motor kicks in from nothing more than a friendly glance her way.
She may be a little slower to warm up than her brother Blackjack, but

once she does, she's the one who'll snuggle in closest and stay there.
Good things come to those who wait.
Domino and her brother would be a wonderful packaged deal. They play
together, look out for each other, and even sleep nose to nose. Adopt
them as a pair and you'll have double the love (and double the
purring) in your home.
She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. Fill out our adoption questionnaire so you can meet her and learn more.

Read more about Bugsy & Lolita
Bugsy is a fluffy little mischief maker who loves to play fight with just about anyone who moves. If he loses the game, that's the only time you'll hear a complaint. But most of the time, he's too busy being adorable. When playtime ends, he melts into a cuddly ball of fluff, happy to chill nearby. If you're looking for a kitten with both spunk and sweetness, Bugsy's definitely your guy.
Lolita is a sweet chatterbox who always lets you know exactly what she wants when she wants it. Whether it's food, playtime, or cuddles, she'll tell you. Sometimes she even climbs up your leg just to get into your arms even if you're wearing shorts. She loves to follow her people around and play with her 100-pound foster dog buddy. At bedtime she'll snuggle close for cozy cuddles. And when the mood strikes, she is all in for play fighting too. If you're looking for a talkative, affectionate kitten with lots of personality, Lolita is ready to make herself at home with you.
Both kittens are great with other cats, dogs and kids!

30. Jolie
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 8 mi from South San Francisco




Jolie – Wobbly, Wonderful, and Full of Heart Hi there! My name is Jolie, and I may do things a little differently, but I don't let that stop me from enjoying life. I was found as a stray and brought to Oakland Animal Services before making my way to Give Me Shelter. I have moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), a neurological condition I was born with that makes me a little wobbly when I walk. The good news? It isn't painful, it isn't contagious, and it doesn't slow me down nearly as much as you might think. I always find my way wherever I want to go! I'm a naturally curious girl. Once I think you're not watching, I'm off exploring every corner of the room, investigating anything new, and seeing what adventures await.
Read more about Jolie
I also love toys and am perfectly happy entertaining myself, though I'd never turn down a play session with you. When we first meet, I might be a little cautious if you approach me too quickly. Give me a little time, settle in, and you'll see my confidence grow. Before long, I'll be scooting a little closer, keeping you company, and once we're friends, I'll even meow to let you know I'd like some attention. I'm also told my sploots are a perfect 10 out of 10! One thing I know for sure—I adore other cats. I love making feline friends and would be thrilled to have a gentle, friendly cat companion who can show me the ropes and keep me company. I especially enjoy watching what the "big cats" are up to and making new friends. I've figured out all kinds of clever ways to navigate the world. A short, carpeted cat tree is one of my favorite places because I can pull myself up with my strong little forearms and claws to enjoy the view. I'm also an A+ student when it comes to using my litter box. Once my setup is right, I'm really no more work than any other cat. If you're looking for a sweet, resilient companion who will make you smile every day, I'd love the chance to meet you. My walk may be a little wobbly, but my heart is steady, full of love, and ready for a family to call my own.

Adopting a kitten in South San Francisco
Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.
Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
