Cat Haven

Cat Haven is a small, all volunteer cat rescue group that depends upon foster homes to house cats until they are adopted. There is always an urgent need for fosters as we are limited in rescuing cats by the number of fosters who can take care of the cats waiting for adoption.

Our cats are not kept in a shelter or caged situation. All our cats are treated like members of the foster family.

Cat Haven provides medical care for all cats that it takes in, has FIV and Feline Leukemia testing done, provides rabies and distemper shots, and spaying and neutering. Should an adoption not work out for any reason, we will always accept the cat back.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process includes completion of an application by the adopter and an initial telephone call to determine what characteristics the adopter is looking for in a cat. An appointment is then made for the adopter to meet one or more cats. Once a cat or cats has been chosen, we do a home visit to ensure that the home is safe. The adopter is then ready to complete an adoption contract, pay the adoption fee, and welcome the cat(s) to the new home.
