Story
Say hello to Puck and Banjo.Young adult cat brothers linked in the way only companions who have been together since the first breath can be.Puck is determination and motion. He investigates everything. The cabinets. A paper bag on the floor. A closed door. The task you are working on. That last one especially.He is smart, curious, and deeply engaged with the people around him… a cat who likes to be in on the action and appoints himself part of your plans whether you invited him or not.Banjo brings a softer counterbalance.Affectionate. Grounded. Funny and incredibly gregarious. Wildly loves both his brother and his humans. These two together? Absolute Jackpot.Shared naps. Shared routines. Shared curiosity about whatever you happen to be doing at any given moment, which will then include them.They are interactive cats. Thoughtful cats. Cats who want closeness, participation and connection throughout the day.Life with Puck and Banjo will include cat assistance with everything you do, big warm boy-cat bodies curled against you, and the awesomeness of living alongside two cats absolutely overflowing with goodness.A Haiku for Puck and Banjo:Toys spread on the floorTwo brothers arrive runningImportant businessThe first step in our process is to fill out our application at www.havenrescue.org/catapplication

Say hello to Stevie Nicks.Seven years old. Black as wet ink. Already named Stevie Nicks when she arrived here. Wow. A fantastic cat with absolutely no interest in pretending to be less interesting than she is.Stevie is wildly people-oriented.She wants proximity.A lap to stretch across.A nearby human to supervise with a not-always-soft conversation carried from room to room as she follows along behind you like a very committed program manager.She is affectionate, social, and wonderfully engaged with her humans.But will also occasionally issue corrective feedback with a quick “that is enough now” paw pop reminder delivered directly to an overenthusiastic hand.And if you are the broom and right beside her … well, all bets are off. She is not a fan. Honestly, we respect the clarity in her communication. She is not mean.She is not unpredictable.She is simply a cat with boundaries and the confidence to file respectful formal complaints when they are crossed. Stevie Nicks is looking for an adult-only home with no other cats ... a calm place where she can fully settle into her preferred role as a beloved lap companion, household shadow, and sometimes opinionated best friend.There is something deeply endearing about a cat who loves hard enough to express herself.And Stevie Nicks absolutely does.A Haiku for Stevie Nicks:Black cat on your lapThe weight of her love is strongNew best friend now homeNOTE: WE REQUIRE INDOOR ONLY CARE FOR OUR ADOPTIONS.

Story
Say Hello to Finn … Finn is at that delicious age -- somewhere between kitten and cat -- but we are fairly certain he has already signed up for every available life experience.He is the first to investigate.The first to welcome.The first to wonder what happens if...Everything deserves investigation.Every shelf.Every bird in the windowEvery mysterious sound from the other room.There is a wonderful momentum to this young guy. He moves through the world with curiosity wide open, convinced there is something worth discovering around every corner. And more often than not, he's right.And yes …he is gorgeous, and his markings stop people in their tracks.But it is his personality that keeps them there.Spend five minutes with Finn, and you'll stop talking about how he looks and start talking about who he is.He is wildly people-oriented and, dare we say it, sort of dog-like. He wants to be part of your day, happily following along to see what comes next. If you're making dinner, he's there. Folding laundry? He's available to help. Working at your desk? He has several thoughts on the matter.Finn also comes equipped with a championship-caliber purr and an impressive vocabulary. If Finn has spent the afternoon on an important expedition, he'll likely have a full report to deliver when he gets back or maybe even when he is still on his mission. This dear boy isn't looking for a home where life happens around him.He's looking for one where he gets to be right in the middle of it. A Haiku for Finn:Bright eyes, busy feetEmbracing the whole wide worldAdventure beginsNOTE: The first step in our process is to fill out our application at www.havenrescue.org/catapplication. NOTE: We require indoor only care for our adoptions though catios are fantastic!

Say hello to Banjo … a delicious year-old cat who is pure charm. A soul who rounds out the edges of the day and always makes it better.Banjo is a big letter “E.” Engaging. Easy. Endearing. He is one of the first to make friends with new cats that come into the shelter, and loves a big cuddle puddle cat pile or a tandem run on our giant cat wheel. Banjo is also the first to greet people when they come in the door, and he follows with a dance of leg-rubbing, play invitations, and slow-blinking love gazes. This special boy radiates goodness and an uncomplicated joy that curls itself in your lap and purr hums. He’s loyal without being clingy, curious without chaos, and generous with love in all directions.Banjo is looking for a home where people are home more than not, and because he is a social butterfly, he needs to be adopted with his sibling, Puck, or into a home with another young, gregarious cat to become his new best friend. A Haiku for Banjo Quiet room, bright sparkCheer hums in gentle lightWarmth lingers with him.NOTE: We require indoor-only care for our cat adoptions.The first step in our process is to fill out our application at www.havenrescue.org/catapplication.

NOTE: We require indoor-only care for our adoptions.The first step in our process is to fill out our application at www.havenrescue.org/catapplicationSay hello to Simon. Sometimes there are cats that are so special they defy a pathway of easy words that can actually capture and convey their magic.  That's Simon. Stunningly gorgeous with a unique look. A sum of parts. Captivating and sublime. Although a bit of a wall-flower boy at heart, Simon has blossomed and now quickly welcomes even strangers into his love field, so long as they give a proper hello and give him a moment to take them in. And oh my, when you get the full invite into his world, it is truly something to behold. His favorite cuddle is across your chest, full melt, head tucked, with a constant rhythm of gentle paw kneading. Meditative, magnetic …  with a full love-blink gaze always. This gentle boy also loves to play and adores pretty much every cat he meets. Because having cat friends makes his world hum, he will need to be adopted with one of the other young cats at Haven (including his brother, Garfunkel), or into a home with another young and gregarious cat looking for a tight BFF.   Bringing Simon into your world means life with a quiet alchemist. His hello transforms and rewrites the day's tempo into a delicious cadence, and while he won't demand the spotlight,  this beautiful revelation of a cat will rearrange the shape of your home and your heart.
