Story
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 Katie… luminous and oh-so-full of love. Katie came to Haven after losing the only home she had ever known. When she arrived, this dear one weighed close to twenty pounds, carrying far more than her small frame was meant to hold. Since then, our amazing volunteer team has guided her through a gentle weight-loss plan rooted in kindness to her body.She is making slow but steady progress and is now ready for her next step—a new home committed to supporting her as she continues her journey. And oh, does Katie know a thing or two about commitment.She is devotion in motion.A cat who greets you with deliberate, slow blinks.Her paw reaches for your hand, closing the space between.Biscuit-making is an event. Deep, focused, magical.Above all, Katie loves with her whole being.Always. And she’s looking for a new home that has the same to offer.A Haiku for KatieSlow blinks, steady paws,warmth gathers where she settlescare becomes a bond.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.

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!

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/CATAPPLICATIONSay hello to Storm. Storm doesn’t rush the room. She waits at the edges, first taking in the shape of things – a wallflower waiting to bloom. Give her a few beats. She always comes closer. And when she does, it’s wholehearted and full. Storm’s love unfolds slowly. A careful step nearer, a soft settle beside you, then paws that get busy with steady, devoted biscuit work. She’s gregarious in a quiet, brilliant way. Happy to be near, content to share space, playful and deeply tuned in without ever demanding the spotlight. She's the best kind of companion … close without being clingy, affectionate without demanding every ounce of your attention. She'll keep you company while you read, supervise your day from a nearby perch, then invite you into play … surprising you with her sudden acrobatics and reminding you that she is still a young cat. This girl is gentle and bright and funny in those quiet ways that sneak up on you … a cat whose personality keeps unfolding.If you're looking for a kit companion who brings both calm and color into your home, Storm is waiting. Haiku for StormSoft steps find their way,patience blooms into warmthlove settles in close.

THE FIRST STEP IN OUR PROCESS IS TO FILL OUT OUR INTERESTED PARTY APPLICATION AT WWW.HAVENRESCUE.ORG/CATAPPLICATION Say Hello to Rhubarb ... This island-born baby came to us as a just-shy-of-a-week-old kit in June. Back then, she and her siblings, Tater and Butternut, were tiny little beans who stole our hearts from the moment we met them and took them into our care at Haven.Now, just about to hit the 10-week-old mark, they have blossomed into three exquisite little whirlygigs.Rhubarb is curious about everything. Enthusiastic about everyone.She tumbles, chases, pounces, climbs, investigates and generally ricochets through the day with the determination of a creature who has places to go and things to discover.And oh my holy… tshe and her littermates have the most stunning and unusual mackerel tabby markings that are just flat-out stunning.As much as we would love to have her sweetness with us always, she is just about ready to head out into the world and is now officially available for adoption.From tiny week-old babies to magnificent little mischief-makers…It has been a joy to watch them grow, and wherever they land, our hearts will always hold them close. A Haiku for the babesThree kittens tumbleCurious minds lead the wayNew worlds wait aheadNOTE: To avoid single-kitten syndrome, we require kittens to be adopted in pairs and will consider a solo adoption only if there is another young, gregarious cat in the home. We also require strict indoor-only care and do not adopt out young kittens to homes with children under 5 years old.
