Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Moberly, Missouri

Hi, I'm Athena! I'm a gentle older gal with a sweet disposition, looking for a place to call home alongside my brother, Kato. The two of us have been together since the start, and I just can't imagine life without him. We have both been very gentle and affectionate with young children in the past, but we've never been around other cats or dogs. I am fairly laid-back, but am hoping for my new family to help encourage me to exercise through interactive playtime. ____________________________________ Kato and Athena are both very obese and will need a gradual weight loss plan in consultation with adopter's veterinarian. They also have skin conditions that will need further diagnostics and treatment with adopter's veterinarian. If there are underlying food or environmental allergies causing their skin conditions, this may require ongoing management including medications and/or a special diet.

Hi, I'm Kato! I'm a gentle older guy with a sweet disposition, looking for a place to call home alongside my sister, Athena. The two of us have been together since the start, and I just can't imagine life without her. We have both been very gentle and affectionate with young children in the past, but we've never been around other cats or dogs. I have a playful side and enjoy interactive toys such as laser pointers and wand toys, and also enjoy carrying around larger stuffed toys. I'm hoping my new family will encourage me to stay active to help me shed some weight. _____________________________ Kato and Athena are both very obese and will need a gradual weight loss plan in consultation with adopter's veterinarian.

Hi, I'm Elektra. I've been raised in a loving foster home with my brothers Blade and Gambit. They have both been gone for about a month now. I'm the one with no collar. Blade and I were both very scared, hissy, not handleable, and I took it one step further with swatting and growling. Gambit can't possibly be related to us because he is way too nice! I still have a lot of work to do but I have come a long way. I used to hide all the time, but I have started to come out more to play. I really like chasing wands and strings. I still don't like being touched but I will tolerate it when given squeezable treats. I am looking for a forever home that is willing to go the extra mile to teach me that humans are actually kind of nice to be around. A quiet home that is patient, kind, and understanding that I may take longer than other kittens to warm up. Come back for updates on my progress in my foster home. Update 10/25: I have warmed up more to pets and even can be heard purring at times. I have a really nice kitty tower that is my safe space. I am more accepting of scratches and love and have the cutest little squeak/meow. I can even be seen rolling around and showing my tummy. Occasionally, I will come out for scratches and even sat on my foster mom's lap last week. I am still pretty nervous around strangers. Slowly but surely making progress.

Nermal (aka lioness) is very loving. She will seek out pets and rubs, and she loves to rub her face next to yours! Otherwise she is rather quiet. She likes to lie down on blankets, and when she wants privacy she will get underneath a blanket.

Fusilli is a gentle natured gal. A long lean body and casual gate show off her elegance as she calmly walks across the room. Eyes of soft clear green set off her petite face. She can be talkative when she is hunger, her bowl is out of food, is wanting attention or to play, and when looking for her human. Although she is not necessarily a lap cat, should she climb in your lap for cuddles, have a blanket or towel handy, she does use her nails as she lovingly kneads your leg as you stroke her silky hair. On occasion she may lay next to you and is easily picked up but will immediately want down. She's an affection lady who craves attention and wants desperately to play and interact with her person. It appears she has been abused at some time in her life, because the simplest hand movement can send her into hiding. A soft, loving, coaxing voice of reassurance will entice her to come out of hiding. This little gal is really great and wants desperately to trust her human and fulfill all you could want from a feline companion. Her gentleness and loving nature should make her fine with older children and a little education about how cats use their nails when kneading. She always uses her litter box and always uses an old rolled up piece of rug I have for scratching. Be sure to mention her name when completing the adoption application to insure you get first call at meeingt this beautiful girl.

Hello, I'm Theo! I'm a shy but affectionate cat looking for a friend who understands me. I've been a little stressed since arriving at the shelter (it can be a pretty scary place for a cat), so I've been a little slow to open up and show off my true personality-- however, I do enjoy wet food treats and gentle pets. I would probably prefer a household that is pretty quiet and doesn't have too much hustle and bustle. I did live with another cat previously (Luna), and may adjust to new feline friends after a slow introduction. My foster says "Theo is a very sweet and affectionate cat. Starting off, the first week or so, he was very shy and timid and hid under the bed. He would come up to me when I would show him his wet food, but wouldn't come out from under the bed. Gradually, Theo came out and started to explore the room. Theo is still shy around new people and typically comes out when I am in the room with the door shut. He loves to come visit me when I get home with a few meows and then jumps on my bed purring and wanting pets. Theo has been eating, and using his litter box, and he loves wet food, catnip, and certain toys."
