Story
Billy is a 2-year-old female cat, born in our home and raised in a loving environment. She has a gentle, playful personality and can be a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, she is very sweet and enjoys quiet, playful interactions.She is an indoor-outdoor cat and is used to having safe access to the outdoors, so an environment where she can continue this (or a very enriching indoor setup) would be ideal. Billy would do best with a patient owner who can give her time to adjust and respect her softer nature.She is well-mannered, not aggressive, and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for an affectionate cat.

Story
We adopted Romeo from the STL Humane Society in Maryland Heights. He is 14 years old and would be a great cat for a loving home. I believe since he is getting older that perhaps a senior woman that just wants to have a loving, cuddly cat to keep them company would be best. Visitors will always be greeted and escorted back to the door with a nice good bye rub or good petting. Romeo isn't like normal cats that hides away.. He does like visitors and kids.We are moving to California soon to where my kids are. We can't bring Romeo with us as I don't think he would like the 3 day drive there. Think it is best to find another good home to love him. We will give the new owner, our Iam's cat food bag (unopened), automatic cat litterbox, liners, litter, and cat treats to start you out right. We live in South St. Louis County, MO near Hwy 55 and Butler Hill Road. We want a good home for him.Terri

Story
Tom was a stray found on a college campus when he was just a kitten. My daughter's friend attended the college and asked if we would be interested in taking him. We had just lost our dog and my wife didn't want to leave a kitten alone or put in a shelter so she took him. That was approximately 12 years ago. We have another cat, Kenzie, who was adopted at the same time to provide Tom company. They are approximately the same age. Both have had all their shots, regular check ups and both are declawed on their front paws. Neither has had any serious health problems. Tom is very laid back and not excitable. Kenzie is more skittish but she enjoys attention. They are very close and typically cuddle up with each other when they sleep. We are wanting to place them because my daughter just recently married a man who is seriously allergic to cats. They can't visit us due to his allergy. Also, the man who works with my son who has autism has bad cat allergies.

Story
If you are looking for cats who would lay on your lap and watch some TV and love head and belly rubs, Qand & Barq are the perfect cats! We adopted two tabby cats, Qand with her brother Barq, they are from the same litter. They have been together and are very comfortable with each other. They are 3 years old. We are hoping to find a home that could give Qand and Barq love, time and compassion. They are kind and gentle. They love to be around people and love their owners. Qand is curious, caring and loves a warm lap. Barq is a softie, kind and just loving. Her and her brother are also quite social with any family and guests. They always welcomes guests and love attention from them. They are loving and caring and we are so grateful for the 3 years we were able to share with them. Qand has been with her brother so we’d like them to stay together. They are healthy active cats and we are also open to let them keep their cat tree, water fountain, cat leashes, and any toys we have.

Story
We found Bob in late October 2025, I brought him in because he was abandoned and it was getting very cold. I was expecting him to stay a few nights and find a rescue for him. But all shelters were full so he has stayed with us. We got him fixed and up to date on vaccines, wormed, and treated for ear mites. Bob is about 11 months old, Since he was a stray we are not sure, going by Vet's estimate We have to rehome Bob because he is special needs and my mother in law is moving in due to serious health issue. She can not be around pets, especially Bob because of his bowel issues, she needs sterile environment Bob is very friendly, playful, loves to come into bed and cuddle up with you. He gets along well with other pets, dogs and cats. Bob has problems controlling his bowels, Vet removed most of his colon, believing Bob suffered from Megacolon, but this did not help is incontinence. Vet has recommended taking Bob to neurologist, with possible nerve issues ( Spina-Bifada)
