Story
Say hello to Puck. A young cat who embodies the kind of perfection that quietly transforms a space into something extraordinary. Think of the first sip of a perfect cup of coffee … warm, comforting, and awakening all at once. The soft orange sherbet glow of a sunset in August, casting everything in mesmerizing light. Or the satisfying sensation of a ripe blackberry stain on your finger after an impromptu jump out of the car, roadside picking moment. Unexpected, a little messy, yet unmistakably sweet. Puck's personality is a collection of these moments—vivid, memorable, and entirely without pretense.From the moment he enters, it’s clear this dear kit isn’t content to observe from the sidelines. He’s eager—intensely curious about everything around him, an explorer with a heart full of wonder.He adores people with an exquisite, open-hearted enthusiasm. Whether greeting visitors at the door, curling up nearby after a day of exploration, or sharing a quiet moment nestled beside you, he has a way of making companionship feel effortless. Every part of Puck's personality shows he’s eager to belong and be the best friend cat who brings a vibrant, steady force into a life that adores him. If you’re looking for a cat with a big heart and big love ... Puck would like to have a word with you.Haiku for PuckGray fur and bright eyes,Curious leaps and warm purrs,A friend for all days.

Say hello to Ember … a breathtaking slipstream of a kitten. She is gleam and glide. The kind of beauty that sneaks up on you and makes her mark.She’s gregarious in an effortless way and fluent in friendship. Walk into the room, and she’s already at your ankles, quickly closing any space that was between you.Ember moves with purpose. Usually the playful kind. She studies the feather toy with the seriousness of a physicist, calculating the exact trajectory needed to intercept its flutter. And when she springs, she is one part grace and one part wild joy, but all Ember.She’s a dedicated birdwatcher, too. The window is her cinema, the sparrows her morning programming, with the Douglas squirrel that sometimes comes into view, the cherry on top of her naturalist moments. Above all, this dear one thrives on company and real connection. And because her best life will include living with another young, social cat to share secrets, mischief, and mid-afternoon wrestling matches, she needs to be adopted as a pair with one of her littermates. However, we’ll consider a single adoption if there’s another gregarious feline waiting at home to welcome her into the fold.Haiku for EmberPerfect little oneeyes charting her next bright leapwarmth in motion shines.NOTE: We require indoor-only care for our adoptions.

Say Hello to Murphy … he would like a word.Actually, he would like several words: “Why. Are. We. Still. Here?”Murphy (he of the wild whiskers and magnificent ear-hair situation) and his ten equally adorable, amaze-balls siblings have been patiently waiting for their forever humans. They’re just over the 4-month mark. Gregarious beyond measure. Cuddlers of Olympic caliber. Charmers that hit harder than espresso.Murphy says it’s time. Time for couches to be claimed, hearts to be conquered, and snack cabinets to be, well… inspected.Who’s ready to let this whisker-wild wonder (or one of his crew) move in and get on with the business of loving you?Adoptions are open now. A Haiku for Murphy: Ear tufts catch the breeze,soft purrs ripple through the room,waiting for a hand.The first step in our process is to fill out our application at www.havenrescue.org/catapplicationNOTE: We require indoor-only care, and for kittens, require either a two-kitten adoption or for adopters to have another young and similarly energetic cat in the home.

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.

Say hello to Henry. And oh – look at that face. Henry is no ordinary cat. He’s not a lap ornament or constant cuddle-seeker. He’s entirely his own brand of brilliant.He weaves himself into your day in subtle, unforgettable ways. Quirky, never demanding, never loud, yet always present. He orbits close, settling in the heart of the room, quietly watching, quietly belonging.Sometimes a soft glow, sometimes a spark plug … always Henry.His love arrives in flashes: a well-aimed headbutt, a delicious minute of biscuit making, a brief graze of orange fur, a moment of eye contact that feels like a secret handshake. Subtle, intentional, real.He’s particular about how he likes to be touched. Short, soft strokes on his head, please, nothing heavy-handed. But when he leans into you, it is honest, unguarded, and pure. Henry asks you to slow down, to notice the beauty in small things.He is a living example of what quilters call a spirit bead, where an accidental stitch that may be a bit off-center is embraced for its uniqueness and authenticity. Henry is that spirit bead. Singular, irreplaceable, authentic rather than perfect.He rewrites the pattern of what cat companionship can look like and is looking for a home where his next chapter can unfold. To be part of his story, email us at info@havenrescue.org or call/text ( 206)876-9652.
