1. Soot

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 23 mi from Marthasville

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.

8. James Bond “JB”

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 23 mi from Marthasville

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) · 23 mi from Marthasville

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.

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!

Adopting a cat in Marthasville

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.
