Animal House Cat Rescue and Adoption Center is a private, non-profit, “no-kill” organization dedicated to providing the homeless, abandoned cats and kittens of St. Louis with a better life.\xa0We are committed to maintaining an adoption center that provides a safe, healthy and enriching environment, and our goal is a solid and lasting adoption for every cat and kitten in our care. Animal House opened in 2010 when the City of St. Louis closed its municipal shelter and ended a number of services for stray animals.\xa0Not only did the 75 cats residing in their shelter need a place to go, the St. Louis community needed services for abandoned, homeless cats.\xa0Animal House was born out of that need.\xa0Today we house 200-250 cats and kittens at any given time.\xa0 The cats and kittens at Animal House are rescued from the streets of our community and\xa0often come from challenging circumstances that include neglect, abandonment, or injury. We have created a safe place where cats in need find shelter, medical and nutritional support, individualized socialization and interaction, enrichment, lots of love, and the opportunity to connect with a loving, lifelong family. We impose no time limit on this process, giving each cat or kitten the time they need. We emphasize matchmaking throughout our adoption process to ensure the best possible match.
