Story
Clementine was born approximately 2010 and raised indoors with other cats. My mom (his favorite human) passed away last week (Feb 26, 2026) and she begged me to find a good home for Clementine. Clementine was always called "Clemmie"-- he is a talkative cat. He is cuddly and social. He craves love and affection as my mom adored this cat. Over the years, my mom's grandchildren have brought their dogs in the house and Clemmie adjusted well, usually keeping his distance and observing the dog. He has been around multiple cats in his life and tends to be the more dominant and also can be seen grooming the other cats in the house. If in a home with other cats, he may compete for attention and be extra chatty. He would do best in a household that has only 1 other cat or maybe two others that are less social so he can be the star.

Lil Black is independent but quickly becomes a little cuddle bug when she is done playing.

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 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).March 10, 2026, 12:44 pm

Story
He was born July 2025. We were given the cat from a woman who lived in the O’Fallon area and her cat had kittens so she was giving them away at a plaza near our home. However we already had another male cat that was older at home. So I thought it would be best to get a female kitten. We took the cat of choice and were told it was a female but we soon found out it was a male and it does not get along with our older male cat. So sadly we have rehome the younger cat
