Binx is a tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome gentleman with a coat so soft it almost seems suspicious. Like… are we *sure* he isn’t secretly made of velvet? One pet quickly turns into five, then ten, then a full investigative petting session just to confirm how ridiculously soft he actually is.
Our boy Binx hasn’t quite decided that shelter life is his vibe. The noise, the hustle, the constant activity—it’s all a bit much for a sensitive little prince. He’s had a tricky time settling in here, but luckily the lovely people who brought him to us gave us the inside scoop on who Binx really is when he’s at home and feeling like himself.
And Home-Binx? An absolute sweetheart.
He loves pets. He loves laps. He loves Churus with the focus and determination of a tiny, snack-motivated athlete. He’s even been known to roll over and offer up a nice belly for rubbing, which is a bold and honorable move in the world of cats. And when he’s happy, his purr cranks up like a full-size engine. We’re talking motorboat levels of rumbling here.
Binx also came to us with his sister, Winifred. They’re not what we’d call bonded, but they get along very well and clearly enjoy each other’s company. If someone happened to fall in love with both of them (and honestly… we wouldn’t blame you), they certainly wouldn’t mind going home together.
Right now Shelter-Binx is still figuring things out, but we have very high hopes. Once he lands in a calm home with cozy blankets, loving humans, and a reliable Churu delivery system, we fully expect him to blossom into the purry, cuddly lap cat he’s meant to be.
If you’re looking for a ridiculously handsome black cat who runs on snacks, affection, and a surprisingly powerful internal engine, Binx may very well be your guy.

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.
