Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bruce the Bear Cub is looking for a loving home where he can fully commit to the snuggle life.
This handsome guy will need to find a patient caregiver, willing to give him time to share his full heart with them.
Bruce has a big round face, large paws, and very sweet eyes. He is 4 years old, and weighs in at a strapping 14 pounds. He has a long body, is big and strong (word has it the Vikings are after him to join the defensive line next year), and is healthy at this weight.
This guy is quite the cuddler; he enjoys lap time for an hour or two a day and is very happy being near his humans as he lounges in a cozy bed or on the cat tree. He also likes his window time, watching squirrels and other wildlife as they go about their business.
When playful he is a catnip connoisseur, and wand toys are also highly valued. Bruce is fairly quiet, meowing only if he is lonely and seeks your company, or if you are late feeding him a meal; otherwise, he is a pretty chill lounger, happy to be around you.
This guy uses the litterbox consistently, and is very good about using the cat scratchers to sharpen his claws.
Bruce would be happy as a solo cat, provided his people are around frequently, or might be okay with another mellow cat. His previous humans needed to rehome him due to a family member's allergies, and in that home he coexisted with another large cat although they did not interact very much.
At his foster home, Bruce is interested in playing with a cat from the other side of the door (exchanging paw taps under the door), but has not progressed to face-to-face play. This may be possible at his forever home; it would just take a very slow introduction.
Bruce is a mellow cat, overall, though he can be a bit feisty when he gets overstimulated. Experienced cat people will be able to read his body language, and know that an occasional swat or open mouth prior to a warning nibble are a part of his way to communicate what he does and doesn’t like. His foster family thinks he would prefer a home without young kids or dogs, where he can bond with his people and live his relaxed best life.
Could Bruce the Bear cub be the right fit for you? He is ready to settle into a forever home, and use his soulful expressions to show you what a nice kitty he can be. - - - - - - - - - - - - - There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown. All ages and breeds are best estimates.
Adoption fees include a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%.
All cats have received comprehensive veterinary care and tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV unless otherwise stated. Cats are up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations and have been spayed/neutered, treated for fleas and/or ear mites, de-wormed, and microchipped. Please note there may be additional follow up visits and boosters that are not covered by Pet Haven after adoption.

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!

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.
