Moochie — Ready to Retire from Being a Dresser Cat Moochie spent much of his life as a community cat. Then he disappeared.He wasn't seen for about a month, and when he finally showed up again, the people who knew him thought he was dying. They took him to their local animal control, Heartland was contacted, and Moochie came into our care. He was skinny. His fur was yellow. He was depressed and just seemed to have given up.Once he was with us, we discovered he also had cat lice. His coat was in such terrible condition that off it came—Moochie was shaved completely naked. And so began the recovery of one very sad, very naked cat.

Haley was living outside a Golden Corral restaurant in South County STL. Poor thing was freezing cold and looking for warmth anywhere she could find. We knew we had to help her so a good friend of ours who does TNR caught her and brought her home until we could make space. Turns out, Haley was a colony cat that had been TNR'd a year prior but her colony was miles away from where she was found. How she ended up there, we will never know.Haley had a pretty severe tail injury that was infected, so it had to be amputated and now she has a little bob tail. She's very sweet, but cautious and shy at first.

They called him Bond, James Bond, but "JB" to his closest friends. He was found right here in Hermann, near one of the local banks. Was he planning an elaborate bank heist or just enjoying the delicious food, drink and company of the other beautiful young kitty cats at the home of the distinguished gentleman across the street? How he arrived on the scene handsome as ever in his dapper tuxedo and with his elusive past identity remain a mystery despite extensive background searches and FB posts.James Bond is a big boy - very charming, talkative with everyone, humans, cats and even dogs! When he's not looking out the window plotting his next adventure, he doesn't mind a good snuggle on your lap or next to you on the couch or sometimes even being held for a short time. He seems to miss his life outdoors and may do well as an inside/outside cat.
