Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in St. Louis, Missouri

Meet Avocado—a young orange tabby born in 2025 who looks like he might file a formal complaint… but absolutely will not if you bring snacks.

Avocado is serving a world-class resting jerk face, but it’s all a lie. A single Churu will immediately reveal the truth: this boy is a certified softie who lives for pets, praise, and those sweet, sweet fish-flavored mouth delights. His tough exterior crumbles faster than a tortilla chip in guacamole.

He’s a little shy at first and prefers quiet introductions, but once he decides you’re safe (again: snacks), he’ll happily become your buddy. Avocado is gorgeous, gentle, and desperately hoping to retire his grumpy facade in a loving forever home where the treats flow freely.

If you’re ready to love a handsome orange cat who looks judgmental but is actually just snack-motivated and tender-hearted, Avocado is very ready to meet you.
