Our Poppy Fan Club shirts have arrived!!!! We are selling these shirts not only because we love Poppy, but to help raise funds for our incredible rescue partner, Heartland Humane Society of MO.

The shirts are $30 plus tax and available for IN-STORE purchase only. We will be splitting the proceeds with Heartland. Swing by and get yourself a shirt soon; we have a feeling these will sell quickly! 🤭

It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means: Weigh In Wednesday!

Poppy only lost a teensy bit of weight this week, but we’re still proud as ever! Poppy’s fan club shirts are almost here… We’re hoping to have them for sale beginning next week, so stay tuned! 🤩

Morning Glory was recently brought back to us at no fault of her own. Struggling with health issues, her previous adopter decided the best decision for Morning Glory was to give her back to us. Their family wants Morning Glory to find a new family that adores her just as much as they do.

We truly cannot say enough great things about her. She is calm, sweet, BEAUTIFUL, and an absolute joy to be around. Morning Glory can be shy and take a little time to get comfortable, but once you earn her trust, she is a doll.

Morning Glory is currently at O’Fallon PetSmart. Contact our rescue partner Heartland Humane Society of MO if you are interested in meeting her! If she is not adopted soon, she will likely come back to the cafe to join us once again.

You know what day it is. 😉

Poppy tried to pull the wool over our eyes the first time by leaning off the scale a bit… She still lost a few more ounces this week even with the *correct* calculations!

The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling down and that means it’s time for our fall events!

Cat Tales 📚
This hour-long event is designed for children 6 and under, but all ages are welcome! A guest reader will read themed books to the children while our cats play. After story time, guests may lounge and play with our cats for the remainder of the event!

Craft with Cats 🎨
This event includes cat-themed coloring pages, themed crafts and our friendly, adoptable cats! While this event is open to all ages, it is designed for children 12 and under. We provide a variety of crafts at different age levels, so everyone has a craft they can do. All supplies will be provided.

Paws & Pumpkins (Ages 15+) 🎃
Painting pumpkins in the fall is nothing new, but we know you haven’t painted pumpkins quite like this! Our friendly adoptable cats will keep you company while you paint purr-fect pumpkins in the cat room. All pumpkins and non-toxic paint will be provided.

Cats & Costumes 👻
Join us for some Halloween fun! This event will feature themed drinks, snacks and games. Families are encouraged to wear costumes. This event is an hour and a half and participants will be able to interact with our adoptable cats throughout the event. For ages 7 and up.

ALL children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult during these special events. Adult tickets are the normal entry fee of $12 + tax. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Purchase your tickets today at whiskerstation.com/events!

Meet sleepy Mickey! This playful, sweet, opinionated guy has been here at the station for a few weeks. His siblings were adopted together earlier this year, and now it’s Mickey’s turn!

We can’t say enough great things about him. While he can be slow to adjust to new spaces, once he’s comfortable, his stellar personality shines through. 🤩 Mickey is a curious cat that loves to be pet and held. He plays well with other kitties and could possibly do well with a calm, respectful dog in the house. People of all ages enjoy spending time with him, so he’s a great pick if you’re looking for a “family guy.”

Interested in meeting Mickey? Make a reservation today at whiskerstation.com. He’ll be waiting for you!

🏋🏽‍♀️ Weigh in Wednesday! 🏋🏽‍♀️

Poppy has shaved off a few more ounces this week. Yay!! She was, however, more interested in the dust bunnies than her weight. Maybe she’s giving us a hint that we need to sweep the lobby again?! 🤣

A big shout out to the owner’s daughter, Anna, for making such an adorable fall menu! We can hardly wait for cooler weather, pumpkin flavored ✨everything✨ and watching the beautiful trees in Kirkwood change color. 🍁

"Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! “🖤🐾 Today we celebrate the sleek and mysterious charm of our black feline friends. Whether they're snuggling up in a sunny spot or showing off their playful antics, black cats bring a touch of magic to our lives. Share a photo of your black cat and let's spread some extra love and purrs today!

Now, don’t let her mean-mug fool you! Fiona is a shy and timid little soul, but she's very docile and sweet. She's not very confident and her first reaction to people has been to run away. However, she is learning that humans are good and not always something to fear!

Over the past several months, Fiona has come out of her shell quite a bit and is much more interactive and engaging with people! She enjoys snuggling in her “house” in the afternoons and playing with toys. Fiona LOVES canned food and it's definitely the way to her heart. Our staff has gradually earned her trust through delicious meals! Fiona REALLY wants to be brave and seek affection, but she just needs time and patience to do so on her own terms.

She adores her sister Emmy and we would love for them to find a home together. Emmy is initially a bit shy and timid as well, but she's very docile and sweet once she gets to know you. She loves ear scratches and head rubs and will gently nuzzle your hand with her face when she wants attention. Fiona LOVES to play, and we have found this is one of the best ways to begin earning her trust!

Fiona and Emmy would do best in a home without young kids, as they need a quiet environment to flourish. This duo may tolerate a cat-friendly, calm dog and have done very well with other kitties. They are both available for adoption here at Whisker Station Cat Cafe!

🏋🏽‍♀️ WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY! 🏋🏽‍♀️

Even Poppy is saying “Wow!” Our bodacious beauty is down a few more ounces this week.

She’s been exploring every inch of the cafe in an attempt to get her steps in! Poppy was also kind enough to start helping us check-in customers. Should we hire her full-time?!
