Story
I adopted Molly last year from a shelter in St. Louis! Her Birthday is April 19th. She was a few months old when I adopted her! She has lived with her cat cousin Frankie. Her and Frankie are best friends and love to cuddle. Unfortunately, I am moving over 5 hours away for a new job and cannot take miss Molly with me. She is sweet, and playful and LOVES cuddles. She has a unique meow. She also loves water. She would be perfect for a home with other animals and/or kids! Molly is looking for her forever home.

Story
I’m looking for a loving home for my buddy, Jango. I’ve had Jango for almost 11 years, since he was a kitten. My wife and I have combined pet families and unfortunately Jango just doesn’t fit in well with the group. He has picked out my wife’s best friend as a target and relentlessly stalks him. He doesn’t want to be close to most of the other pets, is a bit of a loner and would probably be happiest in a home with a female cat or as a solo cat getting a ton of attention. He was happiest when it was just me and him and one other cat, and he could have all of the attention and bed space he wanted. He is just too skittish and standoffish for our now larger pet family and would be happier in a different environment. He’s been inside his entire life and after initial shots I haven’t kept on them as regularly as maybe preferable. He’s never had any health issues, is litter trained and stays off of counters and tables. He’s a good boy. He’d love to game or read with you for hours.

Story
Rosco, is a 14 yr old male all black cat of my mothers, who has a hard time getting along with his brothers and sister animals. Since she has gotten sick with stage three ovarian cancer, I have had to move back in with the family, and bring all my animals with me. Rosco has always prefered to be the only animal in the house, but will put up with one other cat, or cat-friendly dog. However, since we have so many now he is very stressed out and living under my bed and has started to stress lick,plus another cat of mine is kind of a bully to him. It would be much better for poor Rosco's mental health if he could find a nice quiet house to live in with maybe only one other cat or just a dog.

Story
We rescued Zues and his sister Zara when they were kittens from our parent's farm, so they were not eaten and killed by the coyotes. We have kept them, housed them, fed them, fixed them, and got them their shots. They also have been declawed of their front claws. We want them to now find a forever home where they can get the attention and love they deserve. They have been around both of our German Sheperds, and they do fine together. Serious inquiries only and they must go together!!
