Story
Darby is a very sweet 6-yr old muted calico cat. She likes to snuggle and enjoys one-on-one attention. Darby does not like sharing her space with dogs and would do best in a calm environment with someone that would like a lazy cat. Darby is spayed, does not have her front claws and is an inside only cat. She had her last shots in 2021.

Story
Jorah was adopted from the Central Missouri Humane Society as a kitten from a foster family. Jorah was born in 2019 and is now 5 years old. I’m looking for a home with someone who loves a cuddly cat and is happy to have biscuits made often! Jorah is a very talkative guy and loves to make sure you know he has something to say! He loves to play (on his own time) but is most happy being your lounging buddy anytime of day! He has a younger dog brother who he tolerates well but I’m sure he would appreciate a home without a dog.

Story
Alistair is a friendly indoor-outdoor cat who is very popular in my neighborhood. He has loads of personality, including a few quirky traits, e.g. sometimes he pees in the human toilet to avoid going out in the snow! Alistair is really a swell little guy. We love him a lot. The reason we are re re-homing him is that he has developed a strong rivalry with another cat in the neighborhood, resulting in frequent trips to the vet by the other cat. Alistair was feral when he was younger (before joining our household), and attempts to convert him to an entirely indoor lifestyle have so far failed. Reluctantly, I am searching for a new home for Alistair in order to protect the other cat.

Story
Miss Margaret Scratcher (Marge) is a good girl and pretty independent cat. She has been in our family since she was a kitten (about 4-5 years now). Our toddler is not getting along with Marge, so we have decided it’s time to rehome to a family with older kids. She likes to catch bugs and spiders in the make it into the house she is good with kids and is pretty tolerant of aggressive petting. She will give a little smack if it gets too much. She is litter box trained and is pretty good about not scratching furniture. She is good with dogs, but she has never had the opportunity to live with another cat, she'd probably be fine. She is a quiet and chill cat that will randomly like to snuggle up on your lap. Let me know if you have any questions.

Story
Hi, I am fireball. I am 3.5 months old. I was recently adopted by my cat parents from humane society. I am very energetic, curious as I should be with my age.I am litter box trained.I love to play hide and seek with my hoomans. I am getting used to wear a harness and I hope I will be traveling around the world soon. I love to sleep on my hoomans lap and purr. I would love being around them and follow them. My bedtime is at 8pm but I love to have an extra time of playing with my hoomans.I want to go in a home which does not have very young kids as I am still learning to be gentle and I will assure you lots of purrs and cuddles.

Story
Zya, the Grey one, has been having issues with peeing on my boyfriends clothes. We haven't had any major changes in the past few years so I'm not sure why she's started doing this. Wanting to pair the two since they've grown up together - Zya is 3 (birthday in May) and Nina is 2 (birthday in March). They're not aggressive, don't necessarily like being held but will sleep and cuddle on/near you. Love being outside, we let them on our balcony, they know to stay within boundaries given to them, and they answer to their names.
