Birdie is a 1.5 year old girl with the most beautiful and striking striped coat. She is snuggly and playful and LOVES her kitty foster siblings.

She has bonded quickly to her patient foster Mom and loves to snuggle up and take naps with foster Dad. Once she knows she's safe she wants all of the love. She gets the zoomies a lot and she’s lightening fast!! She enjoys taking naps on her cat tree and bird watching out the window! She also loves like any toy! Apply today to meet this little gem. If you are interested in meeting Birdie, please fill out an application via our website at https://therescueproject.net/adoptionapplication and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed.

Story
Rue was most certainly someone's beloved pet at some point. This beautiful girl found herself homeless but thankfully found her way to one of our foster homes where she has been taken care of as an outside kitty for sometime! Seeing how friendly she was and with this recent cold weather, the foster decided to bring Rue in and see if she might be a good candidate for an indoor cat and for adoption! And she was! This girl is so affectionate and loves to rub and snuggle. She LOVES toys and cannot get enough affection from her people. She is a pro biscuit maker and lap kitty. Unfortunately in Rue's time having to survive on her own, she picked up FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). This is a virus that she will always have and is only spread through bites. It is not spread through saliva or sharing bowls with other cats. With this virus Rue can live a full and healthy life but per local laws, must be adopted in the state of Missouri. She should go to a home where she is the only cat, where there are other FIV cats, or where there are other friendly cats and no risk of bites would take place. This virus is not contagious to people or dogs! This girl is precious and we are so thrilled she let us rescue her. Please apply today to add her to your family. If you are interested in meeting Rue, please fill out an application via our website at https://therescueproject.net/adoptionapplication and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. This will get you the fastest response. Rue's adoption fee is $75 and includes age appropriate vaccines, spay, microchip, and testing for feline leukemia and FIV. All cats adopted from The Rescue Project are intended to be indoor only cats.

Story
Baxter is a 3 year old male cat who was rescued after showing up at a kind persons job site. He is in a foster home with both small dogs and cats. It takes him awhile to warm up to new animals but he was recently introduced to 2 new foster cats in his foster home and is doing great with them! He would prefer that other animals respect his personal space and he will let them know when they are too close. Baxter just wants to be with his person! Foster mom says he has become quite the lap cat. It doesn’t matter if she is holding 3 dogs on her lap, Baxter finds a way to get in her lap for some snuggles. He does love to play with the cat toys, just lounge around on the back of the couch, look out the window and watch the birds. Since he was found outside, he will need a diligent owner who will make sure he doesn’t escape out an open door. We recommend no young children who could accidently let him outside. He would do fine with older children/teens. Apply today to meet this sweet gentleman. If you are interested in meeting Baxter, please fill out an application via our website at https://therescueproject.net/adoptionapplication and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. This will get you the fastest response. Baxter's adoption fee is $75 and includes age appropriate vaccines, neuter, microchip, and testing for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus.

Story
Rolex is 1 year old affectionate boy who was very appropriately born on Valentine's Day! This charming boy absolutely adores attention and has the cutest chubby cheeks around! Whether it's cuddle sessions on the couch or playful interactions, Rolex craves human companionship and affection. He's a true lap cat at heart, always eager to snuggle up and share warmth with his favorite human. Rolex has overcome so much. He was found in a sack on the side of the road with his sister Oreo and was later dumped outside to live prior to coming to The Rescue Project. While outdoors, he unfortunately became positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Thankfully cats with FIV can live completely normal lives as indoor kitties and require no daily medication! He would thrive in a household where he can be the sole cat, coexist with other FIV-positive cats, or live with friendly cats in a safe environment where the risk of bites is minimal. It's important to note that FIV is not transmissible to humans or dogs! Are you ready to open your heart and home to this deserving feline friend? If you're looking for a companion who will fill your days with love and companionship, Rolex is the perfect match for you. If you are interested in meeting Rolex, please fill out an application via our website at https://therescueproject.net/adoptionapplication and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. This will get you the fastest response. Rolex's adoption fee is $75 and includes age appropriate vaccines, neuter/spay, microchip, and testing for feline leukemia (negative) and feline immunodeficiency virus (positive).

When Elsa came to live with us, she was so shy I could barely get near her. She has come out of her shell and enjoys playing, watching the cardinal outside the window, purring, and talking. It would be great if she could go with her sister Anna. They have a bond, and with every passing week it gets stronger. She is great with our dog and a little fearful of other cats.

Story
Chance came to us barely alive, he was just a skeleton with fur. You could see in his eyes that he had given up. We believe that he was just a short time from death. He didnt really have the strength to eat dry food and barely nibble on canned. So we hand fed him until he began to eat on his own and each day we watched him get stronger and stronger and the will to live return. He is a bit timid at first but who could blame him, he has been through so much in his young life. He is wonderfully affectionate when he learns to trust a person; when the shelter closes at night and things are quiet, he will approach whoever is still hanging around and climb right into the first available lap; he is unbelievably sweet, and he's never aggressive with the other cats. Chance, boy, born approx 08/08.

This little girl came from a high intake shelter where she was brought in with obvious neurological issues. That shelter didnt have the space to allow for time to see if it could heal her. When she came in she only had sight here and there and looked like a horrible mess. With some TLC and time, this little girl recovered 100%!! Its beyond amazing! She is a bit timid at first because of the drama and her scary life to date, but she is so so sweet, she is even one of the awesome cats that allow full on belly rub! What more could you ask for?

Story
Cash was adopted out as a very young kitten but sadly returned at 18 months old. Some people are just not planning when they see a cutie kitten and adopt before thinking they will not stay kittens. Cash was an only cat in his home and was played with roughly and with human hands. That teaches a kitten to bite when they dont have another cat to tell them "hey dude, that hurt!" and then refuses to play with them. That teaches the kitten to not bite. Unfortunately, Cash learned to give bites when playing, he loves to play. And now that he is adult he needs to learn not to bite. He would be great with another cat that loves to play and will also teach him no biting :-) Could you please give Cash another chance at a furever home, he deserves it! He got cheated! This boy is such a handsome dude! Cash, boy, born 2017

Story
Little Junior was found while looking inside a supporters home right before the below freezing temps hit in February 2021. They truly felt he was asking for help. They trapped him and got him into their vet, got him vetting and brought him to their home to recover. He is very timid and might have had a family at one time because he just freezes when people come to pet him but when he allows himself to relax he loves it. He would need lots of patience and time to trust but these types will bond with you like gorilla glue if they you allow them to have time and security with you . Born 2020
