My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

One-year-old brothers Scooter Magoo and Peanut Butter overcame a hard start but are doing great and are excited to find their forever home!

“Scoots” is a long-legged sweetheart, sometimes shy, but also very playful with a big purr.

Peanut Butter is a special little munchkin. He was born last of the litter, was a little slower to grow up, and per the vet, is an intersex kitty–but PB is happy to tell everyone now that he has now caught up to his brother Scooter! He also wants you to know that he’s got a cool personality, lots of curiosity, and playful energy.

PB got the short end of the stick in his early days, so he has a love of the simple pleasures, like drinking water–especially out of the bathroom sink! This means some big pees (he uses the litter box like a champ!) and so far, no kidney issues per the vet. (The vet said his big thirst probably comes from not getting enough water early in his life.)

For this reason, there are several water stations all around the house for all the cats, but especially for Peanut Butter. His forever humans would need to do the same, to keep him happy and healthy! When it comes to mealtimes, these two are ALL IN–they have hearty appetites.

These bonded brothers are active boys who love kitty play tunnels, chasing each other (and the other cats) around the house, jumping up high on the cat tower, chasing the feathered wand, or playing fetch with their favorite toys.

Sometimes PB can get a bit underfoot when humans are standing or moving too close to him, as he doesn’t respond as quickly as Scooter does when it comes to getting out of the way; his forever family will just have to keep an eye out and make sure sweet little PB has plenty of room to move. (This is especially true during high-traffic areas like at feeding time.)

Both of these cool dudes seem quite fond of the resident dog, who is very mellow and tolerant of their antics. They are sweet, easy kittens to have around, adaptable to whatever routine the humans set. They both enjoy sleeping with their humans, but Peanut Butter in particular loves to get into bed, cuddle close, and drift off to kitty dreamland.

They also can spend some quality time staring out the window at the bird feeder, watching their favorite show, “Goldfinch,” every day. These two would do best with humans who work from home or are around a lot (their foster person is retired, so they are acclimated to having lots of company). They seem to enjoy the presence of all the other household cats, the household dog, and people, yet they can also happily go off to their own play, or rest when they feel they need it.

These guys are just precious little darlings. Due to tough experiences in their original home with a “protection dog,” only a gentle, mellow canine friend would be a good fit and well accepted. Because Peanut Butter is a unique being, and needs a touch more attention, only experienced cat person(s) would be the best fit for these little loves.

These sweethearts had a very hard start for such young boys, but they have thrived in their cozy, affectionate foster home, and would love to continue their peaceful journey with the right patient, compassionate, cat-savvy humans. Could that be with you?

Additional adoption info

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.

Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer

How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.

Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.

Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.


We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.

We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
