Story
Kitty is an amazing cat with plenty of love to give and receive. She is currently 14 years old, and will be turning 15 on July 12, 2026. She loves cardboard boxes, catnip, ice water, being held, and staring out of tall windows. As her current owner, I can take her back in February 2027, but she needs a home for the next 12 months. Family members are in the St. Louis, MO area and able to assist throughout those 12 months with any concerns you may have as time goes on. Kitty is very healthy and has only required one vet appointment (outside of regular check-ups) for a UTI almost a decade ago. She is very picky about the condition of her litter box, and it may be advised to keep two litter boxes in your home if possible. She loves anyone and everyone who is a human, but she does not get along with non-humans (dogs, cats, koalas, bears, etc.) I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have before committing to welcoming Kitty into your home. Hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Bruce is such a sweetheart. He is about 2 years old (we think) and is the most cuddly and playful boy you could ever own. He loves to be near you, especially if it involves sunbathing. He loves to lay on your shoulder and gives kisses! Anyone would be lucky to have this big boy. Unfortunately I have to move and am unable to bring him with.

Story
Max was a super friendly stray that I took in when the weather turned cold. He has adjusted to indoor life really well - he loves to play with a wand toy and loves a bit of catnip. My two older cats are not impressed with his teenage energy, however, so we hope to find him a loving home where he can play without judgment.

Story
Meet my sweet baby 🐾 This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to make. Due to personal/life changes, I’m looking to rehome my cat and I want to find them the most loving, safe home possible. She is incredibly gentle, affectionate, and love to cuddle up right next to you (as you can see 🥺). She’s the type of cat that will follow you from room to room just to be near you. Super calm, great with relaxing days, and loves soft blankets and warm naps. This decision wasn’t made lightly & I love her deeply and just want a home where she can get the time, attention, and stability they deserve. If you or someone you trust is looking for a sweet companion, please message me. I will be asking questions because finding the right home matters most ❤️

Story
This is Cinder, the cutest lil cat you'll ever meet! She's just a tiny girl, coming in at a whopping 6.5 pounds, but what she lacks in size she more than makes up for in character. She loves cuddling up when she's feeling sleepy if you let her come to you, and she's always in the mood to play if she sees a cat wand or a plastic spring. She's fairly young still, at just under two years old, and is up to date on all of her needed shots. I am making the tough decision to rehome her after adopting her last spring, as she doesn't get along with my other male cat. She may do better in a one-cat home, or in a home with all female cats. Thanks for looking and please let me know if you're interested in adopting this sweet kitten!

Story
We rescued Clyde from a shelter. He was a stray with a debilitating flea infestation. After being nursed back to health, he was ready to be adopted. At two years old, he is full of energy and is either sleeping or wanting to play. He loves people and must be wherever you are in the house. He prefers not to be held, but will snuggle up on your lap or the foot of the bed at night. He likes to look out the window, but is not a runner when the door is open. While never aggressive with us, he goes into fight mode at the vet, so he is usually sedated for vaccines. With our growing family and busy careers, we just don’t feel we’re the best fit for him. He deserves all the love and attention. Would prefer a local adoption around the St. Louis, Missouri area.
