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

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

Rhonda is a friendly female cat that is ready for her forever home! Her ideal home would be a home without any dogs and she would do best with older kids or adults only that can read her cues. She loves to be petted and to gaze at the outside world from the windows. She is a quiet and laid back lady that has finished raising her sons and is ready to be pampered.    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).October 4, 2025, 1:35 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I’m Leo. I’m a grey tabby, and I like to think of myself as a calm, thoughtful kind of guy. I’m a little shy at first, and new places can feel a bit overwhelming, so I might seem quiet or reserved when you first meet me. But once I feel safe, I show my true self — I’m really sweet, gentle, and just want to be near the people I trust. I enjoy calm moments and quiet companionship. I may not rush into cuddles right away, but if you sit with me and give me time, I’ll slowly come around. I love soft pets, gentle words, and being in a peaceful space where I can relax. Once I feel comfortable, I can be affectionate in subtle ways — a soft purr, a gentle nuzzle, or curling up next to you while you read or watch TV. I’m looking for a patient, understanding home where I can feel safe and take things at my own pace. I might need a little time to open up, but when I do, I make a loyal, loving companion. I promise that with a bit of patience, I’ll show you just how wonderful a quiet, gentle boy I can be.🐾💛

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.
