Story
Mona is a sweet, affectionate, teeny tiny little kitty. She is a little anxious and prefers a quiet environment. Unfortunately, we have another cat who loves to roughhouse and a loud toddler who wants to pet Mona all the time. Mona is three years old, teeny tiny, and very pretty. She is an excellent snuggler but can also handle being alone. She is loving and independent. She has always been an indoor cat but loves exploring a yard with her people nearby. She is playful, incredibly smart, and very fast! She loves to play with a feather on a string and bat balls around. Every night she jumps into bed for 10 minutes of mandatory petting and then runs off to patrol the house. Mona is also the prettiest, tiniest cat in the world! She’s full grown but still about the size of a big kitten, maaaaaaybe 6 pounds. I can’t emphasize enough that we love Mona! She is a great little kitty cat. We want a home that’s better for her than ours, and we can’t rehome our toddler, lol.

Story
Our sweet girls Bootsie and Mitsie are hoping to find their perfect match and forever family. The girls came to us when their elderly owner passed away. They were raised together by her since they were kittens, so adjusting to a whole new life wasn’t easy for them. Boots and Mits are slow to warm up. They’re pretty cautious at first since the haven’t had a lot of socialization outside of their original owner. But once they are comfortable, they are some great company! Each girl has a very unique personality so between the two of them you’ll get just about every quality in a cat possible. Mitsie is sweet, shy, reserved, loves to sit near you, and adores chin scratches. Bootsie is brave, bold, out-spoken, feisty and likes things her way. One thing they do share is their love for play. Daily play with their favorite string toys are a MUST!

Story
I adopted her from the Kitten Cafe in Liberty,MO on January 5th, 2026. Im making this post February 18th, 2026. Every other day she decides she doesn't want to use the litter box. I clean the litter box every 24 hours and replace the litter every 14 days. I've even tried three kinds of litter boxes and two different kinds of litter. Her tail is permanently bent slightly to the right at the base of her tail. She has a slight strange odor that isn't urine or feces.

Story
My name is Midnight and looking for my family. I am a very young catten found with my 5 kittens left outdoors in a dog kennel without shelter from the weather. I am a friendly rescue catten. My kittens were friendly as well, so at some point someone cared for us. However, this experience was a little stressing. My foster mom gave me my own space based on being stressed under the circumstances. I am somewhat vocal around other cats do not feel very comfortable yet. I would love to have someone who can focus on me while I learn how to bring out my inner kitten. I need to learn to play since that was interrupted while raising my kittens. As I am still a youth I will grow to love my new family and with some patience I will learn to feel safe from so many changes I have been exposed to lately. If you are interested my foster mom can be reached at 8165103064.
