Story
Elle is a very friendly cat. She loves people and is a total sweetheart. She is great with kids and loves our toddler. We have to rehome her because of our kids’ allergies. We adopted her from the Humane Society in 2016. We hope to find her a loving home as she has been a great companion all of these years.

Story
With a heavy heart… 💔 I am looking to rehome my dear cat, Milo (about 3.5 years old), whom I adopted in October 2022 from the Cape Girardeau Animal Shelter. Milo is healthy, neutered, and fully vaccinated. He is extremely affectionate, cuddly, and quickly bonds with people. He has a sweet, gentle personality and loves attention ❤️ Reason for rehoming: We already have several cats, and my younger son, who is autistic, has been facing challenges. Sadly, this leaves me no choice but to find a new home for him. Milo has a close friend, Casper, shown in the pictures. They are very bonded, and adopting them together is ideal, though Milo can also thrive alone. I hope Milo finds a loving home where he will be cherished. Please contact me for more information.

This is Anakin. He’s a very sweet and very energetic orange cat and definitely fits the orange cat profile haha. He’s great with humans, but has never interacted with other animals as he is an indoor kitty.

Story
With a very heavy heart… 💔 I am looking to rehome my beloved cat, Casper. I adopted him in October 2022 from the Cape Girardeau Animal Shelter, and he has been such a special part of our family ever since. He is currently about 3.5 years old. Casper is a completely healthy, neutered, and up-to-date cat. He has a very calm and gentle temperament. He may be a little shy at first, but once he opens up, he becomes extremely friendly, loving, and cuddly. He is truly a sweet and affectionate cat ❤️ Reason for rehoming: We already have three cats at home, and my younger son, who is autistic, has been having some challenges. Because of this, I am left with no choice but to make this very difficult decision. Casper can be adopted alone, but he does have a close companion, Milo (a male cat of the same age), with whom he shares a strong bond. If anyone is interested, they can adopt both together 🐾 I truly hope Casper finds a loving home where he will be cared for and cherished as he deserves.
