Showing 74 cats
Kitten adoption in Calgary is highly competitive — kittens are often listed and adopted within days, especially during the spring and summer “kitten season.” The cats listed here are typically under 12 months old and are sourced from MEOW Foundation, Calgary Humane Society, AARCS, and other Calgary cat rescues. All have started vaccinations and most are spayed or neutered before adoption.
Adopting a kitten is rewarding but a real commitment. Plan for 15+ years of care, multiple vet visits in the first year, and the energy that comes with a young cat — kittens climb, chew, and play hard. Two kittens adopted together actually settle faster and entertain each other better than a single kitten alone, which is why many rescues offer pair discounts.
Calgary kitten adoption fees typically run $225 to $285, including spay/neuter, first vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a starter health record. Listings update regularly. If you don't see one you love, check back tomorrow — new kittens come in constantly during spring and summer.
Kitten Adoption FAQ

How much does it cost to adopt a kitten in Calgary?▼
Calgary kitten adoption fees typically range from $225 to $285. This includes spay/neuter (often performed before adoption), first vaccinations, deworming, microchip, and a starter health record. Some rescues offer pair discounts when adopting two kittens together.
Are these kittens for sale in Calgary?▼
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every kitten here comes from a Calgary-area rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store or classified ad. The adoption fee of $225 to $285 already covers the first round of vet work, such as spay or neuter and vaccinations. A kitten bought from a private seller usually has none of that done, so you pay for it yourself on top of the price.
Can I find a free kitten in Calgary?▼
Rescues do not give kittens away free, because the adoption fee pays for their vet care. Free-kitten ads on Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace are common in Calgary during kitten season, but those kittens are often unvetted and sometimes too young to leave their mother, so the cost of shots and spay or neuter falls on you. Rescues sometimes run reduced-fee events, so check the listings here if cost is your main concern.
Should I adopt one kitten or two?▼
For most households, two kittens is actually easier than one. Kittens have enormous energy and need constant play and stimulation — a sibling provides this 24/7, which means less destruction of your furniture and less midnight zoomies. Many Calgary rescues actively encourage pair adoption and offer reduced fees for it.
When is kitten season in Calgary?▼
Kitten season runs roughly April through October in Calgary, peaking in May-July. Outside of this window, kittens are scarce in rescues. If you want a kitten, plan to adopt during spring or summer.
Are MEOW Foundation kittens indoor only?▼
Yes, MEOW Foundation and most Calgary cat rescues require kittens to be adopted into indoor-only homes. Calgary winters and the prevalence of urban coyotes make outdoor cat life dangerous. Indoor cats also live significantly longer (15+ years vs 3-5 for outdoor cats).
