Story
All of our cats and kittens receive an exam, are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, de-flead, tested for FeLV and FIV, and microchipped. O’Neill is an approximately 1.5 to 2-year-old brown tiger cat who has come a long way from his days as a rough stray. Now he enjoys following his human around and has become quite the lap cat. O’Neill craves attention 24/7 and will be your constant companion. Due to food allergies, O’Neill will always require a specific prescription food diet. This is important to keep him healthy and happy. He also likes having a spot to hide when he hears noises so a quiet and secure place in your home would be ideal for him. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will always be by your side, O’Neill might be the perfect match for you! O'Neill is FIV+, but with proper vet care and an indoor-only lifestyle, he should be able to remain out of trouble with his health issues. FIV, or feline immunodeficiency virus. Cats with FIV can live for a number of years without symptoms, and most go on to live normal, healthy lives. FIV is not the same as AIDS in humans, is not transmissible to humans, and can be managed with proper care. This cat is currently in a foster home, so if you want to meet him or her, please fill out an adoption application. Applications can be found on our website at www.angelcathaven.com. It can be filled out online or emailed to adoptions@angelcathaven.com. If you have submitted an application and have been waiting to hear back from us for a few days, please check your SPAM folder.

This adorable orange & white cat was born in October 2020 and is a pro at making biscuits while lounging in a comfy spot.

Macalla adores other cats and enjoys the occasional play session with string toys, but her true passion is observing the world around her.

While she’s not one for being picked up, she has a hilarious way of popping up and out of reach—no drama, just a playful escape! Macalla, may hide when someone new enters but is easily won over with a brush, pet, or treat. She walks with a spring in her step and tail all the way up! And of course, as her pictures prove, she’s as cute as they come. If you’re looking for a lovable, happy-go-lucky companion, Macalla is ready to wiggle her way into your heart!

Story
All of our cats and kittens receive an exam, are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, de-flead, tested for FeLV and FIV, and microchipped. Big Mama is a quiet grace wrapped in gray fur with soulful eyes. She may start out shy in new settings or around unfamiliar folks, but once she learns your rhythm, she reveals her soft side—nuzzling into your hand, brushing up gently for affection, and melting into pets with a deep, contented sigh. Her true joy? Companionship. She’s not one to clamor for treats or race for food—what wins her heart is time, touch, and trust. Perch her on a cozy cat tree with you nearby, and she’ll lean into you like you’ve always belonged to each other. Add a feather toy, and she might just surprise you with her playful swats. She would do great with another cat. Big Mama shares a beautiful bond with Big Papi. They snuggle, groom, and wander side by side like an old married couple—always in sync. She gets along well with other cats and respects shared spaces, but her heart clearly beats the strongest when he’s near. This cat is currently in a foster home, so if you want to meet him or her, please fill out an adoption application. Applications can be found on our website at www.angelcathaven.com.

Story
All of our cats and kittens receive an exam, are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, de-flead, tested for FeLV and FIV, and microchipped. Meet Roxie - a spirited little lady with extra toes and extra charm! Born around November 2023, Roxie is a petite polydactyl She has adorable double toes, a soft light gray tabby coat, and a whole lot of personality. She’s playful, curious, and full of young cat energy — chasing toys, zooming around, and making every day an adventure. Roxie adores being brushed, especially on her cheeks, and enjoys gentle petting once she feels comfortable. She can be a bit cautious with hands near her head, but she warms up quickly with patience and kindness. She gets along well with other cats, though she prefers companions who aren’t too timid — her bold spirit can be a bit much for shy kitties. Roxie would thrive in a home that appreciates her spunky nature and gives her space to play, explore, and be her quirky, lovable self.

Story
**Please note: applications must be filled out via our website - www.angelcathaven.com - thank you for understanding.** Banner Mom (aka Freda and Ella) an adult, gray female cat Although she is very conservative about asking for attention, she does like a good petting session. Until she gets to know you she is very timid and it is very unlikely you will get to touch her. Once she learns to trust you she will allow pets, accept treats and will play. She is not one to scratch or bite but she will let you know if she's getting overwhelmed by giving a quick tap with her paw. She is very independent and low maintenance and has been working in her foster home to become the perfect quiet friend. She is a sweet but timid and does not trust sudden movements, so she would not well in a home with children or with a lot of visitors. Banner Mom especially loves to chase she rainbow dancer string toy and that is when you will see her inner kitten come out. She doesn’t tolerate being picked up so she would require a creative approach to vet visits. One option is an in-home vet. Another is that you can work with your vet to schedule a sedated exam or use Gabapentin to relax them. She has been in foster care with her best friend Joy but since she is irritable when it comes to other cats she would need to be an only cat or be adopted together with Joy (who we also have posted for adoption!). Banner Mom is going to make someone a wonderful companion, but it could take months or even a year before she truly warms up to a new environment. This cat is currently in a foster home, so if you would like to meet her please fill out an adoption application. They can be found at www.angelcathaven.com and can be filled out online or emailed to cats@angelcathaven.com.
