Meet handsome Habanero – The picante kitten with a sweet side!
Habanero is a 5-month-old male kitten with magnificent tiger markings and a heartwarming story of transformation. Rescued from a backyard as a youngster, this handsome boy is the offspring of a fiercely feral mama—but don’t let that fool you. While he started out as a fiery little chili pepper, Habanero has transformed into a confident, curious, and increasingly affectionate companion.
As he grows, Habanero is shaping up to be a robust, muscular cat — a truly majestic presence in the making. He enjoys pets and brushing, especially when he’s perched high on his favorite cat tree, feeling relaxed and safe. When the timing is right, he'll reward your affection with deep, happy purrs and may even roll over to offer his belly for gentle rubs.
Habanero is always close by, whether it be sleeping by your side or observing the household action, he makes sure he is never far from his person. He may not be a lap cat yet, but his loyal, inquisitive nature means he’s always part of the scene.
He’s also incredibly playful and affectionate with other cats, and would thrive in a home with at least one feline friend to wrestle, groom, and cuddle with.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, intelligent young cat with a unique personality and lots of love to give (on his terms!), this little hottie might just be your perfect feline bestie.

Additional adoption info
Our Adoption Process
We have a clear and well-structured process in place to find the best possible homes for our animals in need. This process begins with you filling out our pre-adoption questionnaire designed to collect important details and insights from potential adopters and answer any questions you may have. Once complete, we move forward by setting up a visit for you to meet our cats in person. One of our Adoption Coordinators will provide a tour of our facility and introduce you to our available cats. Our adoption coordinators have extensive knowledge of every cat and can help answer questions about individual personalities, habits, and special needs. Should you decide to choose a specific cat during this meeting, we then schedule a home visit to deliver your new pet, ensure it’s a safe and suitable environment, and provide a care kit for the new pet. To support a smooth transition, we also make a follow-up call about a week later to see how everything is going to ensure both the adopter and the cat are settling in well together.

More about this rescue
Safe Haven for Animals was founded in late 2004 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill shelter, with the mission of providing as many cats as possible with a safe and happy home, preventing untimely endings to their lives. There is no time limit on any cat's stay, ensuring that euthanasia is a last resort reserved only for those whose health conditions are irreparable. The core purpose of the organization is clear: to save the lives of cats. The joy of the shelter comes from the adoption process, where our goal is to unite each cat with a loving family, thereby enriching both the lives of the animals and the people who welcome them.
