Adopt a American Shorthair in Missouri

American Shorthairs are sturdy, easygoing, and adaptable cats — the all-American working barn cat refined into a recognized breed. They appear in rescue often and tend to be healthy and long-lived. A rescued American Shorthair is a low-maintenance, affectionate family companion.

Missouri has a steady rescue cat population, with active organizations across the state. TNR programs in St. Louis and Kansas City help manage community cat populations.
