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.

Adopting a cat in St. Louis
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.
