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.

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.

Story
Margo came to PAWS pregnant and gave birth to five beautiful babies the very next day. She had been living as a stray on the streets of Cairo, IL, for all of her life as far as we know. But a kind gentleman came to her rescue and began to feed her and provide shelter for her. He was sad to surrender her but said he just could not continue to care for her and just wanted her to be safe. She is THE sweetest cat I have ever known and she is beautiful. (Unfortunately, she is not very photogenic so her pictures really don't do her justice!) She is immediately friendly with everyone and just wants to love and be loved. She is very quiet and calm and has been an exceptionally great mom. Now that she has the babies old enough to go to their forever homes, it is her turn to have the love and comfort of her very own home and family. She has been spayed, microchipped and has a rabies shot. She did test positive for FIV but I pray that does not stop someone from giving this precious girl the life that she deserves. Most research shows that this can only be transmitted to other cats through a deep puncture wound. It is not a danger to humans. She can live a perfectly normal life, she just may not live quite as long as a non FIV cat. Please consider welcoming this girl into your home. Her adoption fee is $100 and she is ready to go home. If interested, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. Once I have an approved application, I will contact you to schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Lee is one of five kittens that Momma Liza managed to keep alive against all odds. They were found in an alley starving and covered in fleas. Poor Liza was too weak and sickly to even clean herself or her babies. But all of that is behind them and Lee is ready for his new home. He is also a really good helper. He sits quietly in the corner of each litter box and watches me clean it every morning and every evening! He is a very loving boy who also loves to play. He is smart and loves his toys when his human is not available! His adoption fee is $100. If you are interested, please go to pawspaws.org and complete the PAWS application. Please note: The Petfinder Inquiry IS NOT the PAWS application. If your application is approved, we will set up a meet and greet to see if you are a match for this precious boy. Thanks so much for your interest!

Story
Madelynn and her siblings were born at PAWS one day after their pregnant mother was surrendered. She is an adorable little DMH tiger stripe girl. She is playful and funny and thinks my leg is a cat tree!!. She is spayed, UTD on shots, and microchipped. Since her mom is FIV positive, she will be tested at 6 months of age to determine if she is positive or negative. If you are interested, please research FIV before applying, especially if you have another cat or cats in the household. Her adoption fee is $100. If interested, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. Please note that Starting the Inquiry on this site is not the PAWS application. You will need to leave the Petfinder site and log onto pawpaws.org and choose the application. Once that is approved, we can set up a time for a meet and greet. Thanks so much for your interest and cooperation!

Story
Ruby was found on the side of the road during a terrible rainstorm. She was extremely thin, weighing less than 1 lb, dehydrated and covered in fleas. That was almost three weeks ago and now she is thriving. She is playful and curious and full of energy. She is spayed, microchipped, and has her first two vaccines. She will need one more kitten shot and then her rabies shot at 16 wks. She is ready to go to her forever home. She is playful and funny and loves her person with all of her heart. If you are the right fit for her, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. Her adoption fee is $100.
