We require that you be physically present to make the final adoption arrangements. We also require that all cats be kept indoors, and all dogs be kept in a fenced-in yard, secure pen, or indoors, unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon ahead of time. Failure to comply with any of these requirements may constitute grounds for our taking back the adopted animal.
All pets have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots/vaccinations, have been micro-chipped, and are in good health to the best of our knowledge. If you have any questions about the animals, want to know more about the shelter, or have any other questions, please call or e-mail us as above.

Meet Garbo
I'm Garbo because sometimes I want to be alone. Just like the actress Greta Garbo would say. I was born with a round knot on my nose and have what is called pillow pads. That means that my little toe beans are softer and formed different than other cats. I will need a home that is patient as it will take me time to adjust to my new home and one that will provide lots of snacks. I have been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested for FIV/FelV. Help Support Garbo

Meet Jax
Cat lovers who like to travel with their pets would love to have Jax in their home! Jax's foster mom said she has never seen a cat so well-behaved in the car. He doesn't make a sound … no protests at all! Jax takes a little longer than usual to feel confident with his human at first, but once he does, he comes to greet his person and waits for that person to sit down so he can jump up on a lap. He is litter-box-trained and is one of the neatest cats around. While Jax gets along fine with his fellow felines at the shelter, he is not trusting of dogs. Jax is about 5 years old and was brought to the shelter because he is feline immune virus-positive (FIV+). Cats that are FIV+ can live in a home with FIV- cats as long as they do not fight with each other. FIV is transmitted via a deep tissue bite or scratch and is only transmittable cat to cat. There is no risk of FIV to humans or dogs. Jax is neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, and microchipped. Help Support Jax
Click "DONATE" button below to help cover Jax's care, including food and medications, while he waits to be adopted. After choosing amount click "Note" and specify donation is for Jax. |

Hello new friend, I'm Maytag because I found my way into a dryer vent and cried for someone to find me. I am a young kitten born in June 2022 and would love to have a forever home to call my own.

In my previous home I had some unwanted litter box issues (urinating) but since I have been back at BAAP in a kennel I have used my litter box every time.

Meet Scrabble
Scrabble is a friendly and good natured guy. He was raised in a foster home with multiple cats and dogs and he likes to get along with everyone. He is a bit shy with people reaching out to him, but once he knows you, and you hold him, he enjoys the attention. His shyness comes from his early kitten years when he and his littermates were homeless feral kittens. Scrabble enjoys curling up for a nap with his feline foster family and following you around the house (especially if there might be cat treats involved). His shyness does not mean that he does not want to be around people - just that it startles him a bit when you reach out to pet him. Scrabble is playful and very personable, just needs a little extra time to get comfortable with being handled. Scrabble is neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and negative for FIV/FelV. |

Meet Snickers
I'm Snickers and I'm a Domestic Shorthair Torti that was born in February 2022. I was found as a stray in Bethalto and no owner came forward, so my finders vetted me in hopes to make me their own. I did well with their cats at first but once I got comfortable in the home I started bullying the cats. I want and need to be the only cat in the household to soak up all your love. I did do well with the cat friendly dogs and all the people I met while in that home. I love to be held and snuggled by everyone.

Meet Wilma
Hello, my name is Wilma and I'm a young cat born in April 2022. I was one of seven kittens brought to BAAP in hopes of finding a forever place to call home. I am a sweet but shy girl that would enjoy a home with a companion of the two or four legged type. I would do best in a home with a cat friendly dog, children and possibly another cat. I am FIV positive so it is best for me to have a home with other FIV cats, or to be an only cat. I can live with FIV negative cats as long as we do not fight as that is how FIV is spread from cat to cat, a deep bite or scratch. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and FIV positive (FelV negative). |
