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.

Story
Bruno is a bit of a shy cat. He is friendly with most dogs but if the dog has too much energy, Bruno becomes frightened. He has also interacted with other cats and needs time to warm up to them but he still doesn’t really care for them. I’ve only had him for a month though, he came from an elderly couple who could not longer care for him. He is around 4 years old, I do not know his exact birthday but sometime in 2021. He is very lovey with humans and loves to sit in my lap. He enjoys balls with bells in them and string toys. Also according to the previous owners he loves going outside but I havent let him out since I live in a high traffic area.

Story
Lil Black is independent but quickly becomes a little cuddle bug when she is done playing. She was raised with her two gray brothers and sister since she was a kitten.  She loves to be held like a baby in a cradling position with her belly out.  A very affectionate and loving girl with a curiosity to match.  She is all black with big white whiskers!   Our adoption application can be found here: http://catnetwork.org/adoption-application-and-fees/ Website: catnetwork.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCatNetworkSTL/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/catnetworkstl Instagram: @stlcatnetwork To learn more, please contact us at info@catnetwork.org or text/call the PURR line at 636-386-7877 (text preferred).September 11, 2025, 9:08 pm

Story
CeCe is an independent individual but always on the move. She was raised with her two brothers and one sister since she was a kitten.  CeCe has a funny little cry that sounds a little raspy unlike her high pitched siblings.  CeCe enjoys napping in covered areas but will also pick your lap when she wants some extra attention.  A very sweet girl!   Our adoption application can be found here: http://catnetwork.org/adoption-application-and-fees/ Website: catnetwork.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCatNetworkSTL/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/catnetworkstl Instagram: @stlcatnetwork To learn more, please contact us at info@catnetwork.org or text/call the PURR line at 636-386-7877 (text preferred).September 15, 2025, 5:50 pm
