Princess, female Manx mix, DOB 8/23/03. Princess had lived most of her life under a trailer where she had litter after litter. The owners of the trailer were able to find homes for all of her kitties in the past. When they found out Princess was pregnant again, they called us. She gave birth to a beautiful litter of tailless kitties in March, 2007. All of her babies have found their forever homes and now it is her turn. She has been in foster care since February 2007. Since Princess has lived most of her life fending for herself and her babies, she is a little scared in new surroundings and takes a little time to trust. After her adjustment period, she warms up very nicely and loves attention. She loves to be brushed and purrs constantly. Her new family will have to understand that it will take time for her to warm up and she will also need a quieter home, one without small children. She follows her foster mom around chirping and just waiting for her turn to get attention. Please consider giving Princess her own family to love, a family that will treat her like the Princess that she deserves to be. Princess has a stub tail and longer back legs typical for her breed. She is very a petite little girl. She does well with other cats, and could get used to a cat friendly dog. Princess is very scared at Petsmart and hisses at everyone including her foster mom. It is very difficult to adopt cats out of Petsmart when they are this scared. As you can see in this picture, she is an affectionate cat. She really loves attention but is not demanding about it. Princess is front declawed, has been vaccinated, tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV, spayed and microchipped. HHS Tag #JS4500

California (Callie) came to Heartland from a woman who loved cats but had a few more than she could handle. She's 6 years old and has had a litter of kittens that have been adopted. Now it's her turn to have her forever home and bring her little ray of sunshine into your life. She's a very sweet, loving, laid-back and easy going girl. During the day she tends to disappear to her favorite sleeping places, but in the evenings, she can be found in my or my husband's lap while we're watching TV. She and John are buddies.

Even though she gets along okay with our other cats and our large dog, Callie would do very well as the only cat in the household to get all the love and attention. During a recent sinus cold, I bunked with Callie in a guest room. She slept with her head on my pillow and couldn't seem to get close enough to me. I don't know which kept me awake more, the cold or her whiskers.

Callie would make a wonderful pet for a family or an individual. She's a little shy with strangers, as many cats are, but warms up pretty quickly. She will be your best friend and you will be lucky to have her. She had a little problem at a previous foster mom's house with various cat foods making her throw up, but was doing very well on Iams dry. So, as soon as I bought a bag of Iams for her, she's eating the other cats' and kittens' food and doing just fine.

Callie has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV. DOB: 2-14-03. Heartland #5775 BB.

My name is Stormy & I'm 11 years old, but don't let my name nor my age fool you. I'm a gentle, young at heart, healthy & playful girl. My foster mom believes she saved my life. You see my previous owner of 11 years was relinquishing me to a shelter at the height of kitten season. Because I am somewhat older & black, there may have been little chance of me finding another home. So my foster mom & my previous owner exchanged a few words on the parking lot of the shelter & here I am at Heartland, safe & sound. The vet gave me a physical & did some dental work & told my foster mom that I'm destined for a long life. I'm good with other cats, dogs & kids of all ages. I'm front declawed, too.

Toledo was found in a grumpy old man's yard. He described her as a tiny kitten that was left out in the cold and since we are kindhearted, we agreed to take her. Then he showed up with an adult and we said "Holy Toledo, that's not a kitten!" But we kept her and are trying to find her a home anyway. Toledo is very affectionate with people and could learn to get along with other cats. She is getting the hang of peaceful co-existence in foster care, but still likes to hide out in the kitty condo and pounce on unsuspecting kitties. It hasn't made her any friends, but she's trying! We're not sure how she is with dogs. Older kids would be fine. She's been spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. HHS Tag#AT DOB 1-1-06

Bailey-Well, I guess you could say I am a show-stopper. At least that's what my foster mom thinks. I'm a handsome hunk, a 20 lb., 8 year old gray tabby to be exact. I had a home for 8 years since I was a kitten until one of my owners developed allergies & I along with a buddy had to be given up. I stroll about my foster home unnerved by most things. I will sleep with you, sit on your lap & play with a feather toy endlessly. The problem is that I do not particularly like being picked up or held & I will let you know with my tail flapping & occasional defensive nip if I have had too much petting. Generally, I am an awesome laid back fellow. I think I would be better suited for adults & older children, cat people who understand this not so unusual feline personality. I am front-declawed, neutered, microchipped, good with other cats & dogs. I know there is a cat person out there who will understand & appreciate me. I am an indoor cat only. Special adoption fee for that special person.

Peter is a sweetie with a personal problem. He suffers from Inflammatory Bowel Disease which is treatable, but when it flares up gives cats loose stool. His last owner died and the family didn't want to deal with his condition and so they returned him. He is on a new food that agrees with him and isn't have any litter box issues. He gets along fine with other cats and dogs, but other pets would have to be fed separately. Peter could have flareups if he is allowed to eat other things. He should only have a special food called Prowl which costs about $40 a month. He has a soft spot in his foster mom's heart as the first kitten to be born at her house but it would make her very happy to see him in a forever home again. Even with his problem, he deserves real love; he has so much love just waiting for you! He likes to be picked up and snuggled. He's been neutered, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations.

Titan is a bengal mix - his mother was a pure-bred bengal, his father was "that darn cat". He is an awesome cat who has his own fan club here at Heartland, but he's looking for that perfect home. He came from a place where his owner moved away leaving 10 cats behind for a friend to care for. They all ended up in rescue. Titan has been adopted out three times and returned each time. He has a very intense personality and has a need to explore everything - the first owner wasn't prepared for this and brought him back in 24 hours. He was doing great in his second home, but started to beat up their older, female cat and so he got returned. So we tried making him an only cat in his third home, but that didn't work out - he was lonely and followed his new mom around constantly and would cry all night while they tried to sleep. Bengals are very vocal cats, so an unhappy bengal is hard to live with! He is dog aggressive and will go out of his way to attack dogs, so he can't stay at his foster home forever. He does do fine in a multi-cat environment, so we're hoping that this time he could find one or two male cats who need a friend. He has a great personality, very sleek fur and a muscular body - most men love this guy right away. He's been declawed, microchipped and is current on his vaccinations. HHS Tag#5075AT DOB 9-15-05

Doesn’t your heart just melt when you look into Zoey’s big eyes? She is simply gorgeous with her silky tortoiseshell coat and whimsical facial markings.

Zoey and her family were taken in by Heartland about six years ago. At six months, Zoey was adopted to a home. Years later, she was returned because she was terrified of the new family dog. It was decided that Zoey should find a home where no scary dogs live.

Upon her return to Heartland, it was found that Zoey had a stubborn urinary tract infection that had gone untreated in her previous home. She also had crystals in her urine. Now Zoey is eating a new food that keeps the crystals dissolved and flushed out. And she is a happy, healthy kitty once again! However, she will have to stay on her special diet to ensure good health. It may cost a bit more, but you will agree that Zoey is WORTH it!

Temperament wise, Zoey is a bit high-strung and thinks she should be treated like that princess that she is! She doesn’t get along with other cats. And NO DOGS!!! Zoey needs a quiet home where she can be the sole object of attention. This beautiful girl craves gentle affection, tummy rubs, and wants to be held and stroked. Wait until you see her go after laser lights and fishing pole toys. Please help this beautiful little tortie blossom! Zoey has been front declawed. JC

Rosita was born in a barn to a feral mama. She was far too pretty to be a barn cat, so she was caught and brought indoors. Rosita is a very gentle cat who has never shown any aggression during her taming process and now she loves to be held and will nuzzle her head on your shoulder and neck. Her coat is very long and fine and she'll need brushing to maintain it. She hasn't been exposed to dogs or kids and we think that she'd like to keep it that way being the quiet girl that she is. Other cats aren't a problem. She's been spayed, microchipped and current on her vaccinations. HHS Tag#AT5776 DOB 6-1-08

Lovebug

This sweet little black tabby on white was dumped in a subdivision in Wentzville and went looking for a home. She is very affectionate and friendly, gets along with other kitties just fine, and would be fine with kids and most likely with dogs. She is so easy going and docile that she purred while I was treating her for parasites! She wants to be held, petted, brushed, and played with. Other than being a bit too thin her ordeal caused no harm at all. She was very lucky a nice lady found her and turned her into a no-kill foster home network! Lovebug is negative for FIV and FeLV, up to date on kitten shots, spayed, treated for parasites, micro chipped, and ready for adoption! Her Heartland tag is 6055CL.
