Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Daisy is a sweet, mature, almost-nine-year-old lady looking for her forever home! She was one of four girls born to a feral mama in an enclosed porch of an old home. The homeowner brought all four into his home, where they lived until he had to move to a nursing home.
Daisy loves to be petted but needs her human to have patience until she can grow to trust them. Even then, she tends to be comfortable with being approached only in areas she has deemed “safe zones” – on her preferred chair, couch, bed, or an ottoman that sits next to you at the computer desk. This lovely lady will put her paws on your arm to be petted, but she does not want to sit in your lap.
A discerning gourmet, this pretty girl is a big fan of her Temptation Chicken Treats and will eat them right out of your hand. After treats, she will snuggle in close for pets to her cheeks, head and all the way down her back to the base of her tail.
An inquisitive lady, Daisy loves to play with a wand toy and catnip toys and will definitely have a daily “zoomie” moment. Her favorite places to hang out are on a window cat shelf, the top of the cat tree, or in her little cat house.
She is looking for an extraordinary human with a special understanding of a cat that wants so much to be loved but has to present, initially, as being a bit reserved or stand-offish.
The absolute best reward ever will be when, as she feels safer, her façade breaks down and you hear her loud engine purr as she sits next to you while being petted. This beautiful lady is very alert and watches your movements with bright green eyes. Once you have gained her trust, she allows affection in places where she feels comfortable.
Daisy currently lives with four other cats, but she and her sister are separate from the other three when there is no supervision. She likes to be dominant and reminds me a bit of a German Shepherd, wanting to keep track of where all the other cats are and what they are doing. Because of this, I think Daisy would be happiest as an only cat, with humans who work from home or are around a lot.
Daisy needs her humans to be patient, cat-savvy, and preferably have experience helping more reserved cats come out of their shell and feel confident and loved. She does get more outgoing once she feels at home, but because of her life experiences, she will probably always be a bit on the careful side. However, she is also loving and affectionate.
There will be a tremendous reward for the person who can break through the barriers Daisy has created to protect herself, to discover how ready she is to give and receive love in her own way.
Daisy has done that in her foster home and can do it again with the right person. Could that be with you?
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.
