San Bernardino, CA
The City of San Bernardino's municipal animal services shelter, taking in strays and owner-surrendered cats and dogs from within the city limits.
Cats $55; San Bernardino city residents pay an additional pet license fee
Bring valid ID and complete adoption documentation the day of adoption.
Visit during open hours, find a staff member with an iPad in the kennel area, arrange a meet and greet, then return to the customer service building with ID to finalize paperwork. Browse available pets in advance via 24PetConnect.
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.
Cats are $55. San Bernardino city residents also pay an additional pet license fee.
Tuesday through Sunday 11am-4pm, with meet and greets ending at 3:30pm.
Before 3:30pm, since that is when meet and greets stop even though the shelter stays open until 4pm.
Contact San Bernardino City Animal Services through https://www.sanbernardino.gov/164/Animal-Services to ask about surrendering a cat. Intake policies change with shelter capacity, so check before bringing an animal in.
