Top 10 Cat Names in San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, CA — Selecting a meow-worthy moniker for a feline friend may be as easy as adopting a pet at one of San Diego County Department of Animal Services’ three shelters. The most paw-pular cat name in San Diego County is Kitty, it was announced Friday.

To find which names are most popular in the county, the Department of Animal Services records felines’ names at the time of adoption, claim or microchipping. Which names were the cat’s meow? The cat gets let out of the bag below.

Just missing the top 10 were Oreo, Charlie, Blackie, Midnight and Bella, which was the top dog name.

Speaking of names, County Animal Services says you can “name your price” to adopt kittens, cats, puppies and dogs at the county's three shelters through the end of the month. The animal care centers are overwhelmed with dogs and cats right now so County Animal Services is waiving the normal adoption fee of $69 for a dog and $58 for a cat. Prospective pet owners can decide what adoption fee they would like to pay, according to a news release.

For more information about adoption, call 619-767-2675 or visit the County Department of Animal Services website.
