A.J. is a super sweet and furry guy. He is approximately 6-7 months old and is as cute as can be.

A.J. loves other cats and gets along well with dogs. He is a very playful guy and appreciates a nice lap to cuddle up on.

The best part about A.J. is his ability to purr louder than the other cats in the house. When he gets going, it sounds like a he has little motor in him.

A.J. would do best in a home with another cat or one where he will get a lot of attention and playtime.  Click here to adopt A.J. or to find out more.

Stray Rescue of St. Louis helps save abandoned pets from disease, neglect and death on the streets. 

From what started as a makeshift organization in 1991, Stray Rescue's founder Randy Grim developed quite a reputation for rescuing and finding homes for stray dogs and cats.  As the number of animals finding their way to Randy's doorstep grew, so did the need for a non-profit organization to support his efforts. 

Stray Rescue officially was born in 1998 as a full-fledged non-profit organization and shelter. 

Since 1991, Randy Grim is credited with saving 5,000 feral dogs, all of which -- through months of gentle, loving care  -- have been turned into loyal companions and adopted by new families.  Some have even gone on to become therapy animals, bringing joy to people in hospitals and nursing homes.
