Story
Gnocchi is a charming domestic shorthair tuxedo cat whose striking black-and-white coat perfectly matches her bold yet graceful personality. With her sleek fur, bright green eyes, and dainty white paws, she carries herself with a natural elegance that turns every stroll into a catwalk. Gnocchi is curious and clever, always eager to investigate new sights and sounds—whether she’s peeking into open drawers, chasing after stray ribbons, or observing the world from her favorite windowsill perch. Her playful antics and confident demeanor make her a delightful presence in any home, balancing mischief with poise.Beneath her adventurous spirit lies a deeply affectionate heart. Gnocchi adores quiet moments of connection—nestling against her favorite human, purring softly as she kneads a cozy blanket, or curling up in the warmest spot she can find. Her gentle nature and expressive gaze seem to communicate love without a single sound. With her perfect blend of curiosity, charm, and tenderness, Gnocchi is the quintessential companion—an elegant little soul who brings both joy and serenity wherever she goes.ADOPTION PACKAGE:Thank you for your interest in adopting your next pet from The Haven.

Charlie is a handsome 1-year-old brown tabby with a heart full of love to give. This sweet boy was sadly left behind when his owners moved away, and he spent a couple of confusing days outside, not knowing where to go. Thankfully, a kind neighbor noticed him, took him in, and made sure he was safe—proving that a little compassion can change everything.Now that Charlie is back where he belongs, indoors and loved, his affectionate personality is shining. He’s truly a lover who enjoys attention, cuddles, and being close to his people. Charlie is ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish him forever and never leave him behind again.ADOPTION PACKAGE:Thank you for your interest in adopting your next pet from The Haven.

Story
Meet Big Hoss – The Hug-Loving Gentle Giant  Big Hoss is a 3-year-old buff tabby with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This handsome, affectionate boy loves to chat, give hugs, and soak up all the attention he can get. If you’re looking for a cat who truly adores people, Big Hoss is your guy! He was diagnosed with Feline Leukemia (FeLV) about a year ago, but has remained happy and healthy since. While FeLV has no cure and can shorten a cat’s lifespan, it’s not contagious to dogs or people, and there are vaccines available to protect FeLV-negative cats. Because of his diagnosis, Big Hoss would need to be the only cat or live with other FeLV-positive cats. To make sure he gets the love and comfort he deserves, we’re open to a “Forever Foster” home — meaning he can be spoiled in a home environment while the rescue continues to provide for any medical care he may need in the future. Big Hoss has so much love to give and deserves a special someone to share it with.  If you think you might be that person, please reach out — this incredible boy is ready to fill your heart and your lap! Please remember: Unless otherwise specified, all our kittens and cats are strictly indoor pets. If you’re interested in adoption, please visit straylovefoundation.org and complete an adoption application. Every rescue in our care receives comprehensive vetting, which includes: A combo test Deworming Spay/neuter procedures Vaccinations Microchipping We take every possible step to ensure their health and happiness, giving them the best chance at a long, fulfilling life. While we do everything in our power to provide healthy rescues, it's important to note that some animals may have genetic health conditions we cannot predict (since we don’t have their family history). Additionally, medical tests—though highly reliable—can occasionally yield false negatives. Unexpected health issues may arise, either before or after adoption, but thanks to our thorough vetting process, the likelihood of a long and healthy life is very high. Additional adoption details: Transportation fees, if applicable, vary based on distance and expenses. Home checks may be conducted. Our standard tax-deductible adoption donation is $168. For special breeds, uniquely colored, or exceptionally adorable rescues, we may request a higher donation to help cover vet expenses. Can't adopt? Consider donating, sponsoring, or volunteering! Every form of support makes a difference. Tax-deductible donations can be made via PayPal using info@straylovefoundation.org, or by clicking the donate button on our: Facebook page Website homepage at www.straylovefoundation.org October 19, 2025, 10:57 pm
