Story
We need a new home for our sweet playful Morgan. She prefers to be in a single pet household. She loves to play and climb. She is very clever and can open any door. She was very well litter trained but likes her own house. She was rescued as part of a litter during covid and was very attached to her boy. He is now working full time and going to college full time so just doesn't have the time She craves. We hope to find her a better forever home so she's not stressed any more.

Story
Hi, I'm Fern! 😺 My mother was abandoned while she was pregnant with us, but she found humans that took her in and raised us. I was born March 2023, and am up to date on shots, neutered, and looking for my forever home. If you bend over to feed me, chances are I will jump on your back to perch for a bit. I'm very playful and mischievous, I love to run around and play with toys 🧶 and then curl up beside you for a nap.

Story
Meet Starry, a small black cat with a timid nature, named for the white patch on her chest. She was rescued in November 2023 but hasn't received any veterinary care due to sudden and unforeseen financial difficulties. Starry hasn't been spayed or vaccinated. She's struggling to get along with other cats in the house, and it's causing stress for her and our elder cat. It's clear she's not happy here, so I'm looking for a home where she'll be the only cat and can get the care she deserves. Despite her shyness, she's very sweet and just needs a patient owner who can help her feel safe and loved. The rehoming fee is in place to prevent insincere adopters from acquiring her, as well as to cover the listing fee and transportation to her future home.

Story
Tator Tot is a sweet old man. Tator Tot's favorite treats are greenies and his favorite activity is curling up on a cat bed with his feline friend Lilly. Tator Tot and Lilly have lived together for many years and would do best adopted together. To help keep them together Tator Tot's fee has been sponsored. Midwest Animal ResQ offers a 30-day adjustment period within which you can evaluate the pet's progress and your adoption decision. If, within those 30 days, you determine your recently adopted pet isn't a good fit, you may return the animal and receive a MARQ credit that can be used toward the adoption of another animal. Our biggest priority is finding the very best match for you, and Completing Families one Tail at a Time! All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, Heartworm tested, and current on vaccinations and preventions prior to adoption. Our shelter is located at 10312 East 63rd Street in Raytown, MO. We are open to meet pets Tuesday through Friday from 10-6, and on Saturday and Sunday from 10-5. We are closed on Mondays.

Story
Millie showed up the first day we moved into our new house in the country and refused to leave. That was 4.5 years ago. Because she was a country kitty first, we are not sure exactly how old she is, but assuming 5-6 years old. We live in the city now, but she is still used to being an indoor/outdoor cat. She is a sweetheart who loves cuddles but is not pushy about it. She is also very social around company. She lives with 2 of her kittens and does a great job taking care of them. She is good at coming when you call and is overall well-behaved. Millie is looking for someone who wants a friendly companion who will take great care of her and give her lots of scratches and brushes.
