You may not be able to buy love, but you can adopt it - and with discounted fees!

We have several boys and girls who have been with us for quite awhile - it's time they found their new homes where they can be spoiled by their human. These guys are still with us for a variety of reasons - they are black and people want fancy colored cats, they are "plain" tabbies, they are shy when people meet them so they don't make a good impression even if they are sweet and affectionate once they get to know you....the reasons are endless.

To help get these cats new homes in the new year, they are available to adopt for just $25 each (a couple even have their fees sponsored so it would be $0). Don't forget that every cat is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, combo tested, dewormed and microchipped before going to their new home.

Here's who we have....

CLOVE
Clove is a lovely lady who enjoys the company of people and being petted on her head. She does not enjoy being picked up and she will let you know if you try it. She prefers a quieter home with no small children but she seems to get along with other cats and she has been exposed to a dog. Clove is about two years old.

VOID and CK
These babies have had the worst luck and it's all because of their coloring. Void's littermates all got adopted at an event last year so he was left by himself. When his foster mom found a tiny black panther, she brought him home and Void became his big brother. These guys are bonded and very cute together! Void likes to jump up onto your shoulder from the ground and he will ride around like a parrot. He is about nine months old and CK is about six months old. Their adoption fee is sponsored!

PHANTOM and LUCKY CLOVER
This sister/brother pair do NOT need to be adopted together. They were born on St. Patrick's day and even though their brother and sister got adopted, nobody has been interested in them. As you can see in the photo, they are very sweet and easy-going and would love to join a family with cat-savvy kids. They have been around other cats and dogs.

BROOKE
Brooke just came into rescue after caring for six kittens who are scheduled to be fixed before being posted for adoption. She is a sweet little girl who gets along well with other cats. She has beautiful eyes and her tuxedo coloring makes her look very fancy! She is about two years old and has been raised with children.

This beautiful young lady is “Rowan” and she is available for adoption. Rowan is about 3-4 months old and she has Maine-coon-like markings. She was initially very scared because she was trapped with her littermates at a local home where an elderly person had died, but it hasn’t taken her long to come around and enjoy being held and petted. She will need patience when she initially goes to her new home so she would not be a good fit for families with young children (she would just hide). Rowan is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, combo tested and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $250 and you can apply to adopt her at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

I’m working on better photos and will share asap!

Happy New Year! It was a busy year with over 120 adoptions and many more cats spayed and neutered as part of the trips I make to our vet in Columbia.

I am so grateful for the fosters and volunteers who help keep this ship afloat. I am notoriously bad at delegating or asking for help so I am usually on the verge of insanity between a "real" full-time job and the full-time job of caring for cats in rescue, driving all over Missouri, answering emails, etc, etc. One of my resolutions for the coming year is to find more volunteers who can help take some of burden from me so we can be more efficient and effective going forward!

If you'd like to help, please email me at [email protected]

Here's hoping 2024 brings you all happiness and good health!

SOS - I am in dire need of some new fosters who can help with some of the rescue kitties who are still waiting for their forever homes. I can work around whatever is ideal for you - e.g. short-term kittens only, medical cases, etc and I can provide food, litter and even cages/enclosures.

Although we place cats at PetSmart in Belton, we have to share the space with another rescue so cats that aren’t adopted from the store have to have a place to go.

If you can help, please email me at [email protected].

(Here is just a glimpse at the cuteness you are missing out on if you aren’t fostering! Some of these cats/kittens have been adopted or are already in foster homes but as you can see there is always a variety!)

I was checking on a litter of kittens I recently took in and discovered that this guy is not only the dilute mirror image of his black and white mom but he also has a heart shape on his chest. ❤️ He (and his four brothers and one sister) need names and I’m not feeling very creative at the moment. Share your suggestions!

Check out some of the cuties we brought to Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery yesterday! These are just a couple of the amazing cats and kittens you can meet (and adopt!) when you schedule a visit to the cafe.

It’s been a good December for the cats and kittens we’ve sent to Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery! We will post an update shortly but here’s a very timely one - Santa and Mrs Claus flew into town ahead of their very busy holiday season to adopt Cameron. They’ve taken him home to the North Pole where we’re told the elves will spoil and care for him until this jolly couple has finished their annual Christmas duties. Then Cameron will get to enjoy their company and his new home!

If you’ve been thinking about visiting Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery in Liberty, MO, this will be the weekend to do it!

We will be bringing a bunch of cute babies on Saturday - there will be at least a dozen new kitties! Here are just a few that will be there waiting to meet you.

If you’d like to apply to adopt before you schedule a visit at the cafe, you can do so via the link below. Approved applicants will be able to take home a cat or kitten the same day they visit the cafe - you can also apply during or after your visit but it will take a day for your app to be reviewed and the cat or kitten you’re interested in may no longer be available at that time.

All interested applicants must schedule a time to visit the cafe in order to meet and potentially adopt a kitten. There is a modest entry fee to the cafe that helps cover the costs to feed and care for the cats housed there. Plus, you’ll get to interact with all the cats in an environment familiar to them. This is a great way to get to know each of the cats available for adoption.

To apply for pre-approval ahead of your visit, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Santa came early for a couple of kitties who have been waiting a long time to be adopted! Thanks to a generous donation by Liz Fish, realtor extraordinaire at Grit Real Estate LLC., the adoption fees for these three cuties are covered! That means approved adopters can bring home a new pet for the new year without having to pay an adoption fee. (Also, if you need a realtor, Liz is the one to call! She's super nice and she loves cats just as much as we do!)

Void and CK are brothers from different mothers but don't tell them that - they are very bonded and will need to be adopted together. Void is about nine months old and he took little CK under his wing when their foster mom brought him home at just 9 weeks old. CK goes everywhere that Void goes and you can usually find them curled up together, napping, or teaming up to find fun things to do around the house. CK is about seven months old. Both boys are fixed, vaccinated, combo tested, microchipped and have been raised with other cats and dogs.

Cutie Pie is a beautiful girl who was surrendered to a local shelter. She was slated for euthanasia because she was so scared at the shelter and was deemed "unadoptable." We knew that she just needed to decompress so she has been staying with a foster and has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate girl. She shares space with another cat - we don't know how she is with dogs but most cats do well with proper introductions. Cutie Pie is about five years old and would do best in a quieter home - maybe with an older person or a retired couple?

To apply to adopt Void and CK, or Cutie Pie, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Come say hi while we are at Hollywood Feed today for an adoption event. We are here until 1pm and some of our cool kitties are available to adopt with no adoption fee!

Two more kitties went to their new homes tonight! Being able to spend time with the cats and kittens at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery helps ensure adopters take home the cat that’s right for them. Schedule time to come and hang out with all the kitties - it’s definitely a fun thing to do and there’s nothing more entertaining than watching kittens scamper sideways and pounce on each other!

We’ve got some more kittens heading to the cafe this weekend so be sure to reserve your spot for a visit at https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/91f4a6e7

New babies at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery! Ruby (flamepoint) and Ralph (orange) are littermates who were dumped at a rural farm. They were sick and skinny but thanks to a great foster they gained weight and are happy and healthy! Guy is one of four babies who are little tornadoes of activity and playfulness.

Bradley Cooper (long haired grey kitten), Ed Sheeran (kitten with food on his nose) and Travis Kelce will arrive at the cafe in the next day or two.

You can schedule a time to meet them by visiting the cafe’s scheduling page: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/91f4a6e7

Adoption fees are $150 for short haired kittens, $200 for long haired kittens and $250 for Siamese kittens. Everyone is fixed, combo tested, dewormed, microchipped and they’ve received age-appropriate vaccinations.

12/09/2023

Come see us on December 17 from 11am to 1pm at Hollywood Feed where we will be holding an adoption event. We’ll be there with a bunch of amazing cats and kittens, and some of the cats will have their adoption fees waived - approved adopters can opt to donate whatever amount they’d like or just take advantage of the opportunity to adopt a vetted kitty for no cost!

We will share a list of cats you can meet and details on which ones will be available through this special in the next few days. You can apply to adopt now and then once approved, you’ll be ready to take home your new cat that day!

Two years ago I helped trap and fix 35-40 cats at a home near me. The cats were loved but the population had gotten out of hand because nobody was fixed. Laurel was one of many I kept so they could be adopted into homes. She was semi-feral but curious and with time, patience and lots of squeeze treats, she began trusting me. Over time she has transformed into a sweet, friendly girl who always comes to me with her tail up.

Today she is flying with me to Connecticut so she can go to her new home. She will join another cat I rescued a few years ago who is spoiled by her human mom. Laurel will have the best home and the happiest life and even though I’m going to cry when I leave her, I’m thrilled that she will be loved and spoiled - tipped ear and all!

He has fur like a rabbit and he melts in your arms when you pick him up. He is the perfect blend of sweet, playful and entertaining. Elijah is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and combo tested. His adoption fee is $75 and you can schedule a time to meet him by visiting https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/91f4a6e7

Got kittens? We do! And you can meet them all at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery or PetSmart in Belton.

Sugar Kittens offers a great way to meet different cats and get to know what they are like before adopting. There is a modest entry fee to the cafe which helps pay for the costs to house, feed and care for everyone who stays there. All of the cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, have received age-appropriate vaccines, are combo tested and microchipped. Adoption fees range from $150 to $300 depending on the type of kitten (long hair, Siamese, etc).

Plus, we will be hosting an adoption event at Hollywood Feed the weekend before Christmas - stay tuned for details!

If you are looking for a specific type of cat or kitten, please email [email protected] because we often have kittens and cats who aren’t yet posted on Petfinder or our website.

Need something fun to do with the kids? Visit Santa and some of our awesome cats and kittens this Sunday, Dec 10 at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery! Entry fees are waived but donations are very much appreciated.

Tiny Tim went home today with a brother from another mother to keep him company! We knew he wouldn’t last long at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery 😺

If sleeping was an Olympic sport, Roxy would win gold. This girl is a lap cat champion. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle with her person.

Roxy is a petite girl who lives with other cats and a dog. She’s equally happy on her own, though. She would be a fantastic companion for someone who knows how therapeutic a cat sleeping on your lap can be!

Roxy is spayed, vaccinated, combo tested and microchipped. You can apply to adopt her at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Sweet Cathy was living outside in an apartment complex where dogs roamed so she had a hard time getting to the food people left for her. Lucky for her, one of our amazing local rescuers Alicia Amerine scooped her up and we got her spayed, vetted and placed at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery where she was adopted by her perfect humans!

Heroes don’t always wear capes - sometimes they wear tool belts and carry a ladder in their truck. 😂

I can’t thank KC Electrical Services, LLC enough for making time to move an electrical outlet at the clinic building. This one outlet caused such a problem because the work has to be done by a commercially licensed electrician who has a Belton business license. It was a simple project that we could have handled ourselves but since the city knew about the work we had to follow the rules 😀 We contacted another electrician a few weeks ago , but he ghosted me. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise because their estimate was more than twice what KC Electrical Services charged.

Now that this is done I can finish the things we need for the inspection that’s required for the city to issue a business license. Once we’ve got that we can finish painting walls, sealing concrete floors, etc. Look for info about fundraisers we will be planning for after the New Year, hosted at the clinic!

And if you need any electrical work done, reach out to KC Electrical 😸

One of our cute babies is at Sugar Kittens Cafe and Cattery and would love for you to stop by to say hi!

Tiny Tim was found in a rural area with an injured leg and de-gloved tail. The vet who found him kept him until he was big enough to have his tail and leg amputated and then asked us if we could help find him a forever home. Tim bounces around and loves to play with the other cats! He’s neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and combo tested. You can apply to adopt him at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat and you can also schedule time to visit him and all the other awesome cats at Sugar Kittens by clicking on the post below.

Tiny Timmy is here and ready to snuggle and play today!

Looking for a few short-term fosters in the Kansas City area for some kittens. They will be fixed December 8 and then will go to an adoption center so the commitment is only about 2-3 weeks. I can provide food and litter. Please email me at [email protected] if you can help!

(I had minor sinus surgery yesterday and I’m still pretty out of it but if you email I’ll get back to you asap!).

Jade Catten ( 9 months old kitten)

Click here to apply to adopt: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Jade is a sweet young girl who has a minor vestibular issue of unknown origin. A few months ago, Jade went from “normal” to unable to stand because she was so unbalanced. She was treated for an upper respiratory infection and improved a little bit but she was still unbalanced and kept her head tilted. She also couldn’t hear anything.

Our wonderful vet at GoodVets in Lee's Summit examined her and found cloudy fluid behind one eardrum so we switched antibiotics and treated her for four weeks. The cloudy fluid went away and she is now able to walk and do cat things, but she will always have a bit of a head tilt. We are still unsure what has caused her to be “crooked” and it’s possible we never will since cats can suffer from idiopathic vestibular disease.

Jade is still as happy and sweet as ever - she just has a little tilt to her head now and she is unable to hear. We are looking for a special home with someone who would like a lap cat who never stops purring!

This girl gets along with other cats and she has also been raised with dogs. Located in Kansas City, MO area and transportation can be arranged for the perfect long-distance adopter!

11/07/2023

Buster is Bobbi’s brother and while he’d love to go to a home with his partner in crime, he can be adopted on his own. Because he’s still a young guy at only four months, he’d do best in a home with another playful cat.

Buster is sweet, curious, playful and entertaining - everything you expect in a kitten 🐱 He has been neutered, vaccinated, combo tested, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $150 and you can apply to adopt him at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

11/07/2023

Bobbi got her name because of her little bob tail but we also think her smudge-like mustache is pretty cute, too! This girl is about four months old and she loves to play. She was born into bad conditions and then taken into rescue with three other kittens, two of whom had eyes removed due to severe upper respiratory infections 😔 Everyone is happy and healthy, now, and it’s time for Bobbi to find her forever home!

This little lady is spayed, vaccinated, combo tested, dewormed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $150 and you can apply to adopt at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

11/07/2023

Shadow and Ace are looking for a special home where they can stay together. These brothers were born in a feral colony then taken into rescue to be socialized and adopted. Shadow took to life as a spoiled house cat very easily but Ace is still a little uncertain. His foster mom has spent a lot of time working with him and he trusts her enough to give him pets in exchange for treats. We think Ace will come out of his shell even more in a home where he has space to hide if he’s feeling nervous, but he may always be a little skittish around people he doesn’t know. We tried adopting Shadow into a home by himself and both boys stopped eating and hid. When they were reunited you could see how happy they were! So we promised them we’d find them a home together.

We know it’s harder to adopt two cattens together and even more so when they are black - for some reason people get hung up on color and overlook personality. We hope there is someone out there who is willing to open their heart and home to this pair of house panthers!

Ace and Shadow are about 7-8 months old and they are neutered, vaccinated, combo tested, dewormed and microchipped. Their adoption fee has been reduced to $75 for the pair and you can apply to adopt at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Venus is looking for her forever home with someone who appreciates having a lap cat companion. This sweet girl was pulled from a local shelter just before she was scheduled to be euthanized due to a very mild upper respiratory infection. She has been spayed, vaccinated, combo tested, dewormed and microchipped. Venus is about 1-2 years old and she has been getting along well with the cats in her foster home. She has also been good with the resident dog who is a pitbull with a very healthy respect for the resident cats.

Venus is playful and sweet - if you’ve got a basket of cat toys and don’t mind some nighttime snuggles with a bed-loving kitty, Venus is your girl!

Her adoption fee is $150 and you can apply to adopt her at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

I’m beginning to think the universe doesn’t like me very much. I had to take Ace, the 8-month-old shy guy being fostered by one of our cat whisperers Cheryl Schifferdecker to the emergency vet last night because he’s got a urinary blockage. These things never happen when the regular vet is open, and since it’s an emergency, he had to be seen ASAP. Ace was admitted last night and will need to have a urinary catheter left in place for about two days. I paid a $2,000 deposit which has depleted all the funds in the rescue bank account 😭 please donate a buck or two if you can - if everyone who follows this page donated $2, it would cover the cost of the deposit.

His estimate is for 48 hours but I’ll be moving him to my regular vet today or bringing him home for care with me. Plus, this vet gives non-profits a 20% discount which isn’t yet reflected on the estimate. Hoping we can keep costs down by using medications I already have and by providing whatever nursing care is needed myself. But the total will be high anyway.

Appreciate the support from everyone ❤️

Buster “mustache” you a question - can he come home with you?

This dapper little guy is about three months old. He and his sister and sisters from another mister were taken into rescue after being born in bad conditions. They were all very sick and two of the kittens had to have eyes removed. This guy was the biggest and even when he didn’t feel well he would purr and play and always be happy to see you.

Buster is neutered, has received age-appropriate vaccines, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, had been dewormed and is microchipped. His adoption fee is $150 - apply to adopt him at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat?fbclid=IwAR3T4fqPakwWT3W7sV0a3zy8nGcvx4PT7j8FDu1i6c5r5EhcypjtUYi8wrU

Cupcake got caught sleeping in the bathroom sink - here is her “I just woke up” face 😆 This seven-month-old girl is super duper sweet and affectionate - she loves to sleep with you at night and she loves to entertain you during the day by chasing feathery toys and carrying her stuffed cat toy around in her mouth.

Cupcake is at the Belton PetSmart right now - stop by and say hi! She’s spayed, vaccinated, combo tested and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $75. Apply to adopt at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Claudia and Shadow were born in a feral colony but were found at an age when they could still be socialized. Claudia has become VERY outgoing and silly and Shadow is learning the ropes of being a pet cat. These girls are very attached and will need to be adopted together. They have a short haired panther brother who is more shy and still nervous so we will spend some more time with him before posting for adoption.

Claudia and Shadow are both spayed, vaccinated, combo tested, dewormed and microchipped. They are about 12 weeks old and they have long-ish hair. The adoption fee for this dynamic duo is $300 and you can apply to adopt at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFMO/Cat

Do you know a senior citizen or individual who would love to have a cat but may not be able to afford it? Agatha is one of the sweetest cats we’ve met - she loves hugs and lap time and she will run out to see you when you come home. Agatha tested positive for feline leukemia which means she needs to live alone or with another leukemia positive cat. It’s harder to place cats like this so we are offering her up to an approved home through our Foster for Life program.

Through this program, we provide food and vet care for as long as the foster cares for the cat. This means they can enjoy the companionship a cat provides without worrying about the cost to feed and care for the cat.

Agatha is VERY special and deserves a loving home. She is separated from the other cats right now which means she doesn’t get as much attention as she’d like and she is lonely.

Please message us if you or somebody you know is interested in giving Agatha a home!
