A calm, gentle approach, plenty of patience, and a safe environment will help him continue to build confidence and learn that he is finally home.Because of Frost’s sensitive nature, he would do best in a quieter home with teenagers or older and no young children.

10. Orion
Kitten · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (short coat) · 30 mi from Eolia



Meet the Greek Gods Litter: Iris, Atlas, Hermes, Orion & Selene! These five little legends are ready to conquer hearts! Iris and Selene are the girls, while Atlas, Hermes, and Orion are the boys. Their story almost had a very different ending. Iris, Atlas, Hermes, and Orion were pulled from a very rural animal control facility when their time was up. Little Selene was a last-minute addition to the group, but you’d never know she wasn’t part of the original crew—the others welcomed her immediately, and she quickly became one of their own.Iris, Atlas, Hermes & Orion are an incredibly friendly, outgoing, and affectionate bunch.
Read more about Orion
They love people and want to be right in the middle of whatever their humans are doing. Pick them up and cradle them like babies, and they’re perfectly happy to soak up all the love. They’re playful, curious, treat-motivated, and always ready for toys, zoomies, and a good kitten wrestling match. Atlas is the talker and resident investigator. He’s usually the first one checking out something new, and before long, the others are following his lead. Together, they make one very entertaining little crew! Selene is our gentler soul. She’s more timid and still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. She can be hand-shy and gets nervous with lots of activity and commotion, but she’s making wonderful progress. Once you have her in your arms, her sweet side shines—she loves being held and cuddled and starts purring almost instantly. She just needs more time, patience, and socialization to build her confidence, so Selene will not be available for adoption quite yet. We would absolutely love to see these kittens adopted in pairs, although it isn’t required. What is important is that they have a friendly, playful kitty companion in their forever home. They should do well with older children and may also be a good fit with a cat-friendly dog after a proper introduction. If your home could use a little more love, laughter, kitten chaos—and perhaps a Greek god or two—Iris, Atlas, Hermes, Orion, and eventually sweet Selene are ready to bring some mythology into your life!

Meet Selene – A Shy Little Sweetheart with So Much Love to Give! Selene is a beautiful young kitty with a gentle soul who just needs someone special to help her come out of her shell.

Once you start petting her, she absolutely melts into your touch and purrs up a storm! She even enjoys being cuddled and will sweetly nuzzle her foster mom while being held.Selene just needs time, patience, and reassurance to build her confidence.

That’s definitely her love language!Selene is looking for a quiet, peaceful home without children, where she can settle in at her own pace. Her adopter must understand that building trust takes time and be willing to love her exactly as she is, even on the days when she’d rather hide.Selene may not be the easiest kitty to win over, but she will be one of the most rewarding. There’s something truly special about earning the trust of a frightened little soul and watching her discover that she’s finally safe and loved.Could you be the patient, loving person who gives Selene the happy ending she deserves?

14. Moochie
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 30 mi from Eolia




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.
Read more about Moochie
Then We Found Something ElseAt the vet, an ear mass was discovered.Moochie was treated for everything else he had going on while we continued to monitor his ear. Eventually, the mass was removed and sent for pathology.We got the news we were hoping for: it was a benign ear polyp. Because of where the polyp was located, not all of the tissue could be reached and removed from his ear canal. There is a chance it could grow back in the future, so his adopter will need to continue monitoring his ear. The Dresser CatWhen Moochie first came into foster care, his world was a crate on top of a dresser.And honestly? We thought he might be perfectly content to live out his life right there.Moochie didn't want to be touched. He didn't want to be moved. After everything he had been through, his crate was safe, and he seemed to want nothing more than to be left alone in it.So we let Moochie be Moochie.And then, little by little, something changed. He started accepting pets.Then he started wanting pets.He began moving around more. He became interested in what was happening outside of his little space. The cat who once wanted nothing more than to stay safely tucked away in his crate started showing us that maybe he wasn't finished after all.Moochie turned into a real cat. Now he's active. He's up. He's moving around. He enjoys attention and absolutely loves being petted.Being picked up? Ehhh...Moochie would prefer that we keep that to a minimum. Four paws on the ground, please.And we think he's finally ready to retire from being a dresser cat. What Moochie Is Looking ForMoochie doesn't need a busy household or a ton of excitement. After the life he's had, simple sounds pretty wonderful. No small children No dogs He may be okay with another calm cat who will mostly leave him alone He would probably be happiest as an only cat He needs someone who will respect his boundaries and let affection happen on his termsMoochie came to us looking like a cat who had given up.For a while, we thought giving him a safe crate, good food, medical care and a soft place to rest might simply be enough.Moochie decided otherwise. He wants pets. He wants to move around. He wants to be part of things.And now this former community cat—and longtime dresser cat—is ready for something we weren't sure he'd ever want:A home of his very own and a soft place to spend the rest of his life.

16. David
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 30 mi from Eolia




David never stops purring! He is the first kitten to greet his people in the morning and is always waiting for visitors and love.Found with his friends in Poplar Bluff, David had a rough start to life. He and all of his friends, were underweight, covered in fleas and some even had ringworm. But with some TLC, they all gained weight, lost the fleas and got rid of the ringworm with no issues. We think David is about a week older than his friends that he came to Heartland with but he's always fit right in with all of them. We joke that David is so well behaved because he tries to be a perfect kitten so no one would suspect that he wasn't part of the litter.

David loves to play with his friends and will happily chase toys all over! David loves to climb in a lap and purr away.Because David has always been with his siblings and friends, he must go home with another kitten or to a home with a young, playful cat.

Adopting a cat in Eolia
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.
