Before submitting your questionnaire, please check that you are allowed to have a pet where you live. This may include confirming with your landlord, renter’s insurance, home insurance, etc. on any restrictions on breed, size, number of pets, etc.
Visit during opening hours to meet available cats, or contact Oakland Animal Services at (510) 535-5602 first to check which cats are currently available.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
A single cat is $75, and two kittens adopted together are $110. Kittens under 6 months are adopted only in pairs. Fees include spay/neuter, vaccines, and a microchip.
Adoptions take place Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 3pm.
