3. Oscar and Alice
Please visit our website at https://tarasdream.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application for this pet and for more info about our adoption process.
Read more about Oscar and Alice
These adorable siblings were rescued together from a local college campus after curious little Alice found herself in a bit of a pickle—and loyal Oscar was right there by her side. Since their undergrad escapades, these two have graduated to life as affectionate, playful companions who love nothing more than snuggling, romping, and being together. Alice is a confident, curious little girl with plenty of personality. She plays hard, explores everything, and then happily sprawls out for a serious cat nap. Oscar is a loyal, loving little guy and an absolute glutton for attention. He’s happiest when he’s getting pets, cuddles, and plenty of love from his people. Together, they’re a wonderful pair: content to entertain each other but equally happy to welcome new friends of the human, feline, and canine variety. They’re looking for a home together where they can continue their adventures, snuggle up, and become cherished members of their new family. Alice and Oscar are ready to graduate to their forever home—together!
Approximate Birthday: 06/01/2026
Adoption Fee: $ 150.00 for the pair
TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, FIV/FeLV test, and deworming. A two-week trial is included as part of the adoption.

Cuties Cookie Dough and her sister S'mores Bar came to us after being rescued from the streets. They were shy in the beginning, but have really started to be brave and trust humans. Cookie has become especially brave and loves to rub her humans ankles for reciprocal affection. Cookie also has the cutest little meows for attention. She has just become the sweetest little girl.

Her sister S'mores is still a bit shy and reserved and enjoy spending time in a little hut. She is happy to accepts pets from her humans, but not quite as brave as her sister.
We think they will do well going to their new home together so S'mores can continue to work on being brave with her sweet sister by her side. When they are ready for a nap they look so cute curled up together in their hut.
Both girls love pets and especially love Temptations treats!!

- The Animal Rescue AllianceRaytown, MO · 35 cats · 48 mi from Cowgill
How to adopt from The Animal Rescue Alliance
Those interested in adopting must fill out an online application, we then schedule an initial meeting with them and the animal, followed by a home visit. An adoption contract is required and the adoption fees range from $65 to $250.
Adopting a cat in Cowgill
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
