My story

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

Poppy is a five-year-old, sweet and spunky kitty looking for her forever home!

This pretty fluffy gal enjoys spending most of her day napping with her kittens or relaxing and watching while they play. She has a confident personality and knows when she wants affection and when she needs a little space to herself; she will give a little love nip if she is feeling overwhelmed by affection.

A discerning gourmet, Poppy is always present if wet food is being served, since it's her favorite. She has been an attentive mother to her 3-month-old kittens and is now ready to be pampered in her forever home. This lovely mama is outgoing and ready to explore her environment, taking in all around her.

Poppy's energy level has been fairly mild. She has been spending the last 3 months taking amazing care of her kittens, with little time to herself. Her playful side has yet to emerge, but I know when she can focus her energy on her own needs and playtime interests, this beautiful girl will begin to engage with the world of wands and spring toys!

Poppy currently lives in a foster home with her four kittens. There are 2 adults and 3 older children in the home that she does great with. She is learning to not care about the dogs in the home and seems indifferent to the other cats if her kittens aren't present.

Poppy's ideal home is a quiet or moderately active home that will provide her with love. She could be happy as an only cat, provided her humans are around to spend time with her, or live peacefully with another friendly cat. She seems fine with dogs that ignore her. She will also need people who are willing to regularly brush her lovely fur, to keep her looking and feeling her best.

If you’re looking for an affectionate, relaxed companion to shower with love and care this summer, look no further than this beautiful girl. Poppy is ready to meet 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.
