Story
This amazing girl is named Nezuko (Nezzy) for short. She is 3 years old and is a very loving, energetic, goofy, and just all around a good companion. She would be great in a home that has a little space for her to get her zoomies out, a nice window she can sit and look out of, she enjoys doing both of those a lot.

Story
I received Chat via Facebook before summer began this year. She was around 7 months and should be about 1 year old now. I am looking for a home that will suit Chat’s tendency of the stereotype “Scaredy Cat.” At first, she can be skiddish and fast, but once she gets to know you, she will reassure her affection towards you and will call for you during the day. She is a sweetheart when she knows it’s you and her against the world!

Story
Ginger was adopted from the APA in Saint Louis in July 2025. He was thought to be a little over a year old. He had been there for over a month, left with another cat whom had been adopted. In the shelter, Ginger was very frightened and disengaged. At home, he is curious and playful. He is shy at first, but ok with dogs as long as they don’t chase. Introduction to my resident cat has not gone well, though. Ginger would do best in a quieter home as the only cat.

Meet O Brother Where Art Thou! This 6-month-old orange tabby boy might start off a little shy, but once he’s comfortable, his playful spirit takes over.

Whether it’s batting toys, wrestling with other cats, or finding creative ways to entertain himself, O Brother is always up for a good time.

Story
Meet Hopscotch — the Playground Pro! Born on April 23, 2025, this bouncy orange tabby boy got his name honestly. At 6 months old, he was spotted right on a school playground, happily trotting from kid to kid like he was joining recess. Hopscotch wasn’t shy—he was introducing himself to everyone, hoping one of those friendly faces would be his forever family. Luckily, a sweet young teacher noticed this brave little explorer and scooped him up before the cold weather could chase him away. Since then, Hopscotch has been soaking up all the love he can get. He’s decided dogs are pretty okay, and he absolutely loves running and pouncing with the family cats—like his own furry game of tag. And just like any good playground buddy, he knows when it’s time to switch from play to cuddle. After supper, Hopscotch loves being held like a baby, giving soft, sweet-eye looks and powering up his biggest purrs. But don’t let his gentle side fool you—this boy has a spot-on sense of time. If mealtime is even a minute late, Hopscotch will kindly “ding-dong” you with his best reminders. With his bright orange coat and sunshiney personality, he’s ready to jump into his next adventure. This gorgeous tabby can’t wait to meetp his forever family—and he’s already saving a spot for you in his next game of hopscotch. 💛🐾

Story
Meet Alvin. Alvin is a gentle soul who’s having a very hard time in the shelter. He spends most of his days hiding, overwhelmed by the noise and constant change—but behind that fear is a cat who desperately wants to feel safe. You can see it in the way he quietly watches, hoping for someone patient enough to give him a chance. Alvin needs a calm home and a family with extraordinary patience—people who will let him move at his own pace and celebrate every small step he takes. He won’t be an instant lap cat, but the trust he’ll eventually place in you will be one of the most meaningful bonds you’ll ever build. If your heart has room for a cat who needs understanding more than anything, Alvin is waiting for you. He’s not asking for much—just safety, kindness, and someone who believes in him.
