Dog-Friendly Cats for Adoption in Jersey City, NJ: 30 Cats Good with Dogs

Dog-Friendly Cats up for adoption near Jersey City, NJ

Rescues and shelters within 25 miles of Jersey City have 31 dog-friendly cats up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Every cat on this page has been marked by their rescue as good with dogs, so they're a good fit if you already share your home with one.

1. Griffin

Adult (2 years) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 10 mi from Jersey City

Griffin is the type of cat that anyone could love, but he is looking for a home with someone who can see how unique he is! With his devilish good looks, this "Brooklyn Blue" is a boroughbred sweetheart with a confident attitude, who is ready to melt into your bed or couch to keep you company, will make an appearance on the Zoom call, and is chill with other cats and dogs. He is a playful guy with a sporty streak, so get ready for lots of playtime to keep him entertained. But after a workout, he's ready to chill out with you and keep you warm all winter long.

Read more about Griffin

In September, Griffin trotted up to one of our rescuers who was holding an open cat treat after a rescue in Brownsville and said "yes please" and "thank you" as he climbed their leg to get the snack. With that brazen introduction, we knew unequivocally that this guy wanted to live the good life indoors. We quickly scooped him into a carrier and got him to safety, where he housed many cans of food and made himself comfy, and we intend to give him a future of only that life moving forward.

Griffin is approximately 2 years old, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is negative for FeLV and FIV. He has been dewormed and treated for fleas.

If you’d like to meet this handsome boy, please complete our adoption application and write in Nora as his rescuer https://brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms/

2. Finley

Adult (4 years) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 10 mi from Jersey City

Finley is the calmest, sweetest cat you could find. He is a cuddly boy who has a dream of a purr, likes play time and pets, and of course, any treats and snacks you want to give to him. He is a perfect cat for the household ready to bring on a first or second cat, and is a mature, elegant, yet goofy addition to the family. His foster says he is the chillest cat she's ever had, and we believe he'd do well in a household with kids, cats, or dogs, given the proper introductions.

Read more about Finley

This October, Finley showed up to a managed and TNR'd feral colony in Crown Heights, and made it known that he did not belong on the streets, following their regular caretaker with a polite but insistent meow requesting to come indoors. When he followed one of our rescuers back to their apartment door, we had no choice but to scoop him up and settle him back into the luxury and comfort he was accustomed to. We are so relieved he won't have to spend a hard winter on the streets, and delighted to give him a temporary spot to clean his crisp white socks while he waits for his person to come along.

Finley is approximately 4 years old, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is negative for FeLV and FIV. He has been dewormed and treated for fleas.

Barilla has been friendly with his foster's cat and a visiting dog; it is apparent he would love to have a companion to frolic with, and yet he plays by himself when alone inventing games for his own amusement with noisy feather toys and feather wands and tennis balls.

25. Honey & Buns

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 17 mi from Jersey City

Meet Honey & Buns! Honey and Buns are a brother-and-sister duo who are as sweet as they come! These social, friendly kittens are full of playful energy and always seem to be on the move. One minute they are zooming around the house chasing toys, and the next they are completely passed out together for a cozy kitten nap. There is truly no in-between!

These two also absolutely love other cats and would thrive in a home with feline friends. Honey and Buns share a special bond, and we would love to see them adopted together so they can continue growing up side by side.

For the right home, they can be adopted separately as long as each has another friendly, playful cat companion. Whether they stay together or find feline friends of their own, these kittens are happiest when they have a buddy to play and cuddle with.

If a home filled with purrs, playtime, cuddles, and just the right amount of kitten chaos sounds perfect, Honey and Buns may be the pair to make it happen!

Honey and Buns have been flea-treated, dewormed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. They will be spayed/neutered at the appropriate age in coordination with their adopters.

To learn more or apply to adopt Honey and/or Buns, please email nycatcoaladopt@yahoo.com or call Joan at (718) 671-1695. An online adoption form is also available - click here to apply.

Pipo (white and tabby boy) is a confident super snuggler who loves lap time and playing with their foster human kiddos.

Read more about Pipo & Takki

Found in a backyard in Crown Heights, these two came from a litter of four had by a wiley feral mama cat mama named Marimekko. Pipo and Takki came indoors in the spring with their siblings Sokka and Suki, just on the cusp of becoming little feral critters destined for outdoor life. Though scared at first, with love, patience, and lots of treats, these two came around to the good life in the care of their fosters.

Pipo and Takki are five months old, spayed and neutered, and negative for FIV/FeLV. They are up to date on vaccines and treated for parasites! They must be adopted either together or to a home with another young, playful cat.

30. Imelda May

Adult (6 years 7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 10 mi from Jersey City

Imelda May is a calico-tabby stunner who is just getting started with her life indoors! She is a mature cat who gets along very well with other cats and calm dogs, and with plenty of Churu will become your best friend. She is a fierce hunter with no teeth, and is ready to find a patient, loving home that will adore her and shower her with treats!

Read more about Imelda May

Imelda came indoors this summer looking worse for wear, severely underweight, drooling, and in pain with what turned out to be severe dental disease and a polyp the size of a raspberry blocking her airways. Thankfully, a full mouth extraction fixed her up beautifully, and she's been acclimating to the indoor life ever since.

Imelda's foster parent highlights the following about Ms. May:

- She has no teeth. It’s not a bug, but a feature. She won’t eat your plants. (Please still don’t keep any lilies or toxic plants!)

-

She responds well to being talked to. She’s there for you and willing to listen.

- Not much of a talker but will meow unexpectedly from time to time and it’ll melt your heart.

- Earning her trust is rewarding. She is skittish but will warm up to you if ployed with churu. She is a churu goblin.

- She’ll make you feel like the main character in your own movie. She’s curious and wants to get to know people so she will walk over and look at you quizzically before lying down to loaf near your feet.

- Good with calm, respectful dogs.

- LOVES toy mice. She doesn’t show much interest in catnip but she’ll bat around some mice any time.

Imelda May is approximately 6-7 years old, spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is negative for FeLV and FIV. She has been dewormed and treated for fleas. We are asking that only those willing to be patient and help Imelda May blossom with care, love, and respect apply!

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
