Calico kittens & cats in Saint Joseph, Missouri

Briar Rose's Story Beautiful Briar Rose is looking for a new home! This much-loved kitty is back with us after being adopted as a kitten. Her person had a bunch of changes going on, including divorce and a move, and had to part with this sweet baby girl. Her last owner described her as super talkative and so much fun! She loves to be chased and will chase her person as well! Here is her backstory with the Fort Leavenworth Stray Facility prior to her first adoption in March 2025: Sweet little tortie! Came into the shelter in August 2024 so she has grown up a bit since she's been with us. She's been enjoying time playing with other kittens as they come into the shelter, and she loves "escaping" the playroom to investigate the rest of the facility. Featured as the Pet of the Week in the Sept. 23, 2026, issue of the Lamp. (Previously featured as the Pet of the Week in the Sept. 26, 2024, Nov. 21, 2024, and Dec. 12, 2024, issues of the Fort Leavenworth Lamp.

Penny is a 9 year old sweetheart who would prefer a quiet home. She loves to cuddle and be petted. She is very forthcoming with strangers and will participate in everything you do. She is insatiably curious and independent in a classic cat way.

Hello! Meet this sweet beautiful girl princess! She is so cuddly and so loving just looking for her forever home! I got her from outside in my neighborhood and have been fostering her for about 3 months. She is very young and such an amazing lady. I’d hope she could go to a home with someone who already has a cat because she just loves her kind! I’d looovveee to keep her I just have too small of a home and not enough money to take care of three cats (I already had two before I found her). Really want her to go to a loving safe home forever!

Pancake, who answers to Kitty Girl, is the cat we weren't planning on having. She chose our front porch 2 years ago. We didn't want another cat. We knew we would be moving in a few years. But, alas, after hearing her meow during a torrential downpour, we relented and let her inside. And that's where she's stayed. Inside.She has a few quirks that are, quirky. She doesn't like to be picked up or held. She doesn't like you to touch her head unless you work your way up from her back. She only sits on one persons lap in our family. She meows to announce she's pooping in the litter box. She's a good kitty. She's playful, she loves her cardboard scratching box. She likes to talk. She's not a picky eater. She'd be a good first cat for someone.

Selena is a super sweet cat. She can be standoffish when she first meets you, but is lovey once she gets to know you. She has a history of UTIs, but this has gotten a better with a urine focused cat food diet. She was initially adopted. The only reason we are rehoming her, is because we’re moving.

Izzy is a very loving senior cat who loves to sleep and cuddle I first got her when she was 5 years old she does well with other cats I can’t take her where I moved.
