Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some furry felines near you? There are dozens of darling cats up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Baltimore.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of cats currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

My foster family wants me to share that I absolutely love playtime. Maybe you’ve got a laser pointer or some yarn we can toss around? However, I also like to snuggle up and be affectionate. I absolutely adore being pampered with petting and cozying up on a nice lap.

I'm a young lady at just 9 years old. I have no front claws, so I would prefer a home with other cats with no claws. I will sing you the song of my people when I'm hungry or want attention. In my foster home I like to lay on the couch right next to the momma.

I'm a little timid but very sweet and like to give head butts and get lovings. I've done well with my foster family's dogs, cats and three kids. If you have a warm bed that I could lay my head on, I would be your new best friend.

I simply want to bask in your adoration and company — at least until you bore me, or I get distracted by catnip toys.

Fiora is a tiny little girl, and oh so cute, especially when she stretches. She's super sweet and loves to be scratched, but she doesn't want to be picked up at all.

My favorite thing to do is roll the dice with a pair from Horseshoe Casino. I practice my rolling game by taking my dice everywhere with me — from the kitchen to the second floor and back. I could be your lucky charm. My other favorite things are dangling interactive toys, eating, being petted, snuggling and basking in the sunlight.
