Mutts-n-Stuff strives to make a good match of cat to your home environment so everyone (you and cat) have the likelihood of a life long adoption. These questions will help you and Mutts-n-Stuff determine compatibility of the cat you have chosen. Please answer every question in full to be considered. We ask that adopter be 21 yrs or older. Mutts-n-Stuff reserves the right to deny any application for reasons not in the best interest of the adopter or the animal. We limit cat adoptions to the St Louis, MO / St Charles MO city or county.
