My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hammie, Quincy, and Chestnut are 1-year-old bonded brothers who are energetic and playful, looking for their forever home!

Hammie is the boldest and friendliest of the trio, he likes to be all up in his humans’ business! He is goofy and “floppy” and easily handled. He doesn’t sleep in laps yet, but that surely will come with age. He has tons of youthful energy and is very playful!

Quincy is more cautious around humans than Hammie, but when he decides he feels lovey, he will rub up on your legs to let you know and may even flop over and let you pet his soft tummy! He is curious and playful! The vet noted he has a heart murmur, but said it’s just something to watch, not a concern at this point.

Chestnut is the most timid of the trio. He is playful with his brothers, on his own with a toy, or with toys dangled by his humans. He does not mind being petted if he’s being fed dinner, otherwise takes some coaxing to get close. He will hover just out of reach and sometimes lean in for a good chin scratching. He needs patient humans who will continue to work on socializing him.

They all love to chase each other around the house, thundering down the hallways! They wrestle with each other and love to chase toys and laser pointers that are moved about by their humans. When worn out, they like to curl up on the cat trees or snuggle together in a kitty bed. They also very much like having windows to look out of and a catio or screened-in porch in which to enjoy some fresh air.

They like to check in on the humans to make sure they wake up, followed by a morning chase/wrestle session with each other, pausing occasionally to catch some fresh air on the catio. Quincy and Hammie will help their humans get ready for their day by rubbing against their legs. Mid-day is nap time. They engage in more goofy shenanigans around dinner time (they will tell you when it’s time for dinner!) and hopefully some energy-zapping play time with the humans

They live in a single-family home with 4 humans and 5 other cats. They would do best in a family with prior cat-guardian experience who will make time to play with them and also have patience with Chestnut while he continues to come out of his shell. They would also do well in a home that has little room to run so they can continue to play their chasing games. As well as a home that will keep them safe as indoor cats, but has somewhere they can experience the outside safely like a catio or screened-in porch.

If you are looking for a sweet young cat trio to add to your home consider Hammie, Quincy, and Chestnut!

Additional adoption info

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.

Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer

How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.

Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.

Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.


We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.

We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
