Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Scott City, Missouri

Moses and his siblings were born at PAWS one day after their pregnant mother was surrendered. He is an adorable little boy with short black hair with underlying grey stripes (Ghost coat). He is funny and playful. Since his mom is FIV positive, he was tested at 6 months of age and he is negative. His 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!

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.

Charlie had been running at large for quite some time until the magical day when he finally got in the trap. His life took a major turn for the better! No more scrounging for food or being afraid of predators. He will now have a safe, comfortable place to live with all of the food and fresh water he wants. He has been feral for a time and has a badly injured ear that we are still trying to heal. He will let me pet him and pick him up but, like most cats, he only wants to be held on his terms!!! He loves to have his head scratched and his back rubbed. He does get along well with the other cats so far as you can see from the picture of him and Jesse! Please consider giving this wonderful boy a chance at a life of love and happiness. He will require a lot of patience and understanding while he finds his way to trusting you but that will all be worth the years of love that will follow. His adoption fee is $100. He has been neutered, is up to date on shots, is FIV negative and has a current rabies shot. He is estimated to have been born around 04/15/2022.

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!

Buttons was a stray that a kind woman took to the vet and then asked PAWS to help him find a forever home. He is a beautiful gray and white kitten who is about 6 months old, born around 09/02/2023. He is neutered and microchipped and has had a dose of Advantage multi. He is ready to find his forever home and can't wait for his new family to find him. If you are interested in adopting this playful, affectionate young boy, you will need to go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. His adoption fee is $100. Thanks for your interest!

Manning was brought in after a young woman witnessed him being thrown from a car. Miraculously, he was not injured - only scared and confused by the cruelty. He was just a tiny helpless baby who deserved so much better than what humans had shown him up to that point. But thanks to the kindness of this stranger, he was brought to PAWS where he could be loved and cared for until he was old enough to be neutered. It just so happened that Liberty and her litter had just arrived and Manning soon joined them and became the sixth child! He fit right in and has been the older bubby ever since! All of the calico sisters have long since been adopted while Manning waits for his forever family to come. He is a sweet, loving young cat who is funny, smart and so very playful. He will bring many years of love to some lucky person or family! If interested, please go to pawspaws.org and complete the application. Once approved, we will set up a meet and greet to see if you are a fit for him. His adoption fee is $75.
