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).March 10, 2026, 12:44 pm

Story
Tony is a 2-year-and-9-month-old sweet, deeply relaxed soul looking for a cozy place to permanently retire from the outdoor life. He had a rough start, living outside as a stray for his first two years. My family finally won his trust last October, got him completely vetted, vaccinated, and brought him indoors. He initially lived with my parents but wasn't a perfect match with their other female cats, so he has been living as a solo cat in my apartment for the last 7 months. This guy is the absolute definition of "chill." Having survived the streets, he has zero interest in going back outside he is almost scared of the outdoors and doesn't even care to window-watch much. He is just incredibly grateful for a safe, warm shelter. He isn't the type of cat to bounce off the walls, tear up furniture, or chase a laser pointer. He is completely burnt out on the "wild life" and is now a professional lounger. He is highly affectionate, very low-maintenance, and totally drama free.

Story
Willie is one of the 4 St Louis sports litter mates (along with Roman Burke, Marshall Faulk and Bernie Federko). They are all very sweet and well socialized. He would do well with a home with kids, calm dogs or other cats. He has the SOFTEST fur you will ever feel and he LOVES his sleep. When he crashes, he crashes hard! He would be a great addition to your family!   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).August 15, 2026, 8:22 pm

Story
Rhonda is a sweet and spicy potato looking for her forever home! She is friendly and wants her pets, until she is overstimulated and needs her “me” time (don’t we all). Once you have earned her trust she will be your bestie and will allow you to give her all the pets and will keep your lap nice and warm while you relax in bed or on the couch. Her ideal home would be a home without energetic dogs and she would do best with older kids or adults only that can read her cues. She take a little while to warm up but once she does you will have her love and loyalty for life!   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).August 15, 2026, 8:22 pm

Story
We found Guillermo (Gigi) in our back yard and he was so excited every time we came out that we took him in. He was already neutered but very hungry. We got him nice and healthy and brought him into the home. He’s a very sweet and loving kitty who comes when his name is called. He purrs a lot, loves to sit in your lap and make biscuits and fall asleep. He has all his shots, is healthy, loves to play, and loves treats (especially tuna puree treats), and does not have any issues with litter box or scratching. Unfortunately, he does not get along with other cats. We have two resident cats in our home and we have to keep them separated. We have spent a lot of time trying to acclimate them but believe Gigi will be happier in a single-cat household. We very much want Gigi to go to a good home.
