Meet Sandy, a female torbie kitten named after her wild doppelgänger, the sand cat—and frankly, the resemblance is suspicious. She’s absolutely breathtaking, with saucer-round eyes that look permanently amazed by the world and a coat so soft it feels like it was issued directly from the luxury velvet department.
Sandy is cute, quiet, and sweet in that very kittenish way that makes your heart do a little somersault. She may give you a wide-eyed look that says, “Excuse me, are you here to eat me?”—but don’t take it personally. Please note: all concerns immediately disappear the moment a Churu enters the chat.
Once a Churu is presented, Sandy becomes:
* A tiny desert princess discovering a sacred snack oasis
* A baby vacuum with opinions
* A very polite, yet worried, treat goblin
She latches on with both paws, eyes locked, licking like this is her job now and she takes it very seriously. Time stops. The world fades. There is only Sandy and the Churu.
Sandy is still just a babe, which means she has a lot of growing to do—into her ears, into her confidence, and into the realization that humans are actually pretty great (especially the ones who bring snacks). With patience, gentle voices, and a steady supply of treats, she’s going to blossom into an absolute showstopper.
If you’re looking for a stunning little kitten with big feelings, bigger eyes, and a lifelong devotion to creamy treats, Sandy is ready to tiptoe into your heart… and then immediately demand a Churu.

1) The first step to meet the cats at Animal House is to email us at AHcatadoption@gmail.com. Be sure to include your full name, age, address, and phone number. We will respond as soon as possible to answer your questions and schedule an appointment to visit our shelter. If you have already submitted an inquiry through Adopt-a-Pet or Petfinder about a particular cat, there is no need to send a separate email.
2) During your appointment, you will complete a questionnaire and work with an adoption coordinator to find the cat that is right for you. This process may involve meeting with numerous cats, or even making more than one visit to Animal House. You and your new cat will live together for a lifetime, so this step is important.
3) Before adoption, we ensure that your cat has been spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.
4) When your adoption is finalized, the adoption paperwork is completed and a $130 adoption fee for adult cats and $150 for kittens is collected.
We are located at:
2151 59th Street
St. Louis, Missouri 63110
(About a block southeast of
Hampton Avenue and Interstate 44)

More about this shelter
Animal House Cat Rescue and Adoption Center is a private, non-profit, “no-kill” organization dedicated to providing the homeless, abandoned cats and kittens of St. Louis with a better life. We are committed to maintaining an adoption center that provides a safe, healthy and enriching environment, and our goal is a solid and lasting adoption for every cat and kitten in our care.
Animal House opened in 2010 when the City of St. Louis closed its municipal shelter and ended a number of services for stray animals. Not only did the 75 cats residing in their shelter need a place to go, the St. Louis community needed services for abandoned, homeless cats. Animal House was born out of that need. Today we house 100-250 cats and kittens at any given time.
The cats and kittens at Animal House are rescued from the streets of our community and often come from challenging circumstances that include neglect, abandonment, or injury. We have created a safe place where cats in need find shelter, medical and nutritional support, individualized socialization and interaction, enrichment, lots of love, and the opportunity to connect with a loving, lifelong family. We impose no time limit on this process, giving each cat or kitten the time they need. We emphasize matchmaking throughout our adoption process to ensure the best possible match.
