Story
Hello, my name is Maple and I am a 9 week old American short-hair that was found inside a car engine in downtown St. Louis. I was very afraid of people at first but after my fosters took me home and gave me a bath I learned people are friends and I love getting attention from them. I still need my booster shots and to be spayed. (Maple was found in a downtown St Louis parking garage where she was hiding under cars. After two baths and a check up at the local vet she is ready to find her forever home. She still needs to be spayed and receive her vaccine booster. She is very playful and friendly and excited to meet you.)

Story
Our cat has intense anxiety that can be triggered by certain actions. He got hurt once from someone sneezing and lurching the couch forward which cut one of his paw pads... Before this incident he was the absolute best cat, and now everyone just has to be careful to not do anything that would make him feel scared. Scared can turn to anger, which we can totally deal with. But it unfortunately triggers a panic attack in me for some reason and I get sick and shaky which is so... Not helpful.... But real life. Also, he's not adjusted well to us having our first kid and after a year and a half of having said kid and cat it's not getting better...I want him to have the best life he possibly can and I thought that was with us... But he needs a new home now. It would be best to have no kids and the ability to have his anxiety meds administered every 8 to 12 hrs if possible! He deserves a home that will help him better than we can…
