Story
Max is a handsome 4-year-old tuxedo gentleman with a curious mind and a playful spirit. One of his favorite pastimes is gazing out the window, keeping an eye on the world from his favorite sunny spot. He also loves being up high—cat trees, shelves, or any cozy perch where he can survey his domain. When it’s time for fun, Max can’t resist string toys and will happily show off his playful side. After some exercise, he’s more than ready to relax and enjoy quality brushing time, which he finds especially soothing. Max is used to being the only pet in the home and would thrive in a home where he can soak up your attention. That said, with the right introduction, he may be open to sharing his space with a young kitten as a companion. If you’re looking for a charming, playful, and affectionate cat who appreciates both adventure and relaxation, Max might just be the perfect match for you!

Hello, my name is Paddington. My siblings, Mishka, Boo Boo, Teddy, and I were found in a yard near Lucas and Hunt in St Louis, MO.

We will warm to another person once we understand that they mean us no harm. We love playing with each other and our toys. As of Sept 2, 2024, we are approximately 20 weeks young.I am more shy than my siblings.

Those of us with medical issues got taken in first. Our caretaker realized that we were super friendly and got us into rescue. We both had our right eye removed and have cornea damage in our left eye. The eye issues have not slowed us down. We still run full speed. As of Jan 30, 2026, we are approximately 11 months young.

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
Hi. This little guy's name is Oliver. He is about 13 years old. I got him as kitten when I lived in Austin and then moved him up to Saint Louis. He is an incredibly sweet and loving fella. He's pretty chatty too. I need to move back to to Texas and will not be able to afford a house there like I have here. I hate to leave him behind, as well as my other cats, but I can't sell a home with cat smell in it, or rent an apartment with so many cats. Oliver has been with me throughout alot of major events in my life and has always made me feel better. We always said he would make a good therapy cat. This is truly agonizing but the chance that Oliver can go to happy home and be loved is the only thing keeping me from crying over this. Please look over his pics. You can see the sweetness is his eyes.
