1. Soot
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Gerald



I am very timid and it takes me much longer to get comfortable with humans. I am a little smaller than my sister Singe. We are bonded and will need to find a FURRever home together. I like to watch and observe playtime - but eventually, I can't resist the feather wand or chasing anything that moves especially my little squeaky mouse. You may wonder how we came upon the names of Singe & Soot - when we were rescued as kittiens, we were covered in ashes from something we got into. Thankfully we weren't injured, just very dirty.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (long coat) · 18 mi from Gerald


I love to play with anything that moves, if it's not moving....no worries....I can fix that!! I am active and playful with my littermates. I often seek out my foster mom for love, attention and cuddles. I have been around other cats and a large breed dog in my foster home without out any problems.

3. Lavender
Kitten · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (long coat) · 18 mi from Gerald


I am very playful and I LOVE my toy balls and mice to chase. I love to nap with my sister Posie when it's time to settle down. I only like to be held for a short time. I am more independent and do not seek attention from my foster mom as much as my sister does. I have been around other cats and a large breed dog in my foster home without out any problems.

I am playful and very active with my littermates. I don't mind being held - just not for too long. I will often entertain myself with toys and I love to chase the feather wand. I really love all things soft for cuddles. I have been around other cats and a large breed dog in my foster home without out any problems.

6. Little Richard
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Gerald




Little Richard is a professional attention seeker and full time cuddle bug! Just like his brother, Marvin, this boy is ALL about the love--but Little Richard wants pets, and he WANTS PETS, and you better believe he's sticking around until he gets them.He gets so excited for attention that he'll actually walk AND make biscuits at the same time! One minute he's demanding pets and the next he's zooming around the cafe like a tiny tornado.He's also recently discovered his love for CAT TV! It only took one brave leap at the screen for him to figure out that those little critters weren't actually in there.

Now he's officially a fan!Little Richard is a silly, affectionate, energetic little guy who will keep you laughing one minute and covered in kitty kisses and biscuits the next.Little Richard was rescued from a storm drain in Chamois where he had been trapped for who knows how long before a passerby heard his cries for help on one of the hottest days in July of this year.

7. Benjamin
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Gerald



Benjamin is the sweetest little guy with a whole lot of love to give! He absolutely loves curling up in a fluffy bed and making biscuits until he's perfectly cozy. When he's not busy kneading away, he's always ready to play--especially when his cat friends are involved! He loves being part of the crew but he's also perfectly happy making himself comfortable and doing his own thing, and if you hear a little voice nearby... chances are Benjamin has something to say!Benjamin was one of a litter of five, their mother was Bunny, so appropriately they were named Benjamin, Peter, Cotton, Carrot and Thumper. The kittens were surrendered by their owner east of Hermann and the feral mother was fixed and returned to the owner by Ferals in Peril.

8. James Bond “JB”
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Gerald


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.

9. Enid
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Gerald




Enid is another tabby, but she has something extra special that makes her stand out from the rest -- the coolest little swirl patterns running along both sides of her body! She may be tiny, but don't let that fool you... this girl is SPUNKY!! If you hear thumping, zooming, climbing, chasing, or just other general chaos happening around the cafe, there's a very good chance Enid is responsible. She's always finding something to get herself into, but underneath all that spunk is the sweetest little lap cat who absolutely loves some cuddle time. Enid was found at a trailer court in nearby Gerald, MO, with her two sisters, Morticia and Wednesday, who have already been adopted. All were originally bottle babies and cared for by a very diligent, specialized first foster. Once they were a bit older they went to another foster with other cats and a large breed dog, she does well with both.

10. Lucky
Kitten (4 months 21 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 39 mi from Gerald




Meow, and hello out there! My name is Lucky and I am from a litter of 3 kittens found without our mom when we were very young. We have been raised by humans (and a foster mama cat) and consequently love people! I am around 4.5 months old as of early September. I am a purr machine when my foster mom touches me! When I am not causing chaos or wrestling my siblings, I love to just hang out on my foster mom’s lap while I recharge my batteries. I also love my foster mom’s 7-year-old boy kitty. I would like to be adopted with one of my siblings (Spark and Lucy) or as a companion for a young cat looking for a wrestling buddy. All 3 of us are still learning that humans think our tiny teeth are sharp, so no young children right now, please.

Meet Frost! Frost is a sweet, gentle boy who came from a large cat colony of about 40 cats. He is a little more reserved and is still learning that people can be trusted, but he is slowly coming out of his shell and showing us more of his sweet personality every day. Frost will need a patient, understanding family who is willing to let him come out of his shell at his own pace. 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.

Adopting a cat in Gerald
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.
