Here's what the humans have to say about me:
April is a sweet 15-year-old, short-haired cat who loves getting as many pets as possible; she is looking for her forever home to enjoy her golden years!
This pretty girl is friendly, curious and playful. She enjoys meeting new people and will ask for pets from anyone she meets. Sit down with an empty lap and April will be your BFF lap cat for as long as you will sit still. Despite her age, she can still run, jump, climb and play and would enjoy living in an active household with multiple people to give her love and attention. Small, erratic children might scare April at first, but she would do well with school-age kids who want to give her lots of love and play-time.
April lived with her kitty “sister” Phoebe until April 2023 when her elderly owner died suddenly. A family member and current foster adopted both April and Phoebe and they moved to their new home. However, the stress of losing their long-time owner and moving from the only home they knew made Phoebe very anxious and reactive. Phoebe started lashing out at April and she has not been able to adjust to sharing the new home with April. After months of trying to help them peacefully coexist, the foster and Pet Haven staff feel it would be best for both cats not to live together. April adjusted easily after her move in the spring so she should do well in a new home after a decompression period.
April is up to date on all vaccinations and vet care. She has had her teeth cleaned regularly throughout her life with some teeth needing to be extracted. That doesn’t stop her from eating well–in fact, she loves to eat! April has some digestive symptoms such as occasional vomiting and diarrhea. Feeding her using slow feeders has helped her eat more slowly, reducing the vomiting. She is currently being evaluated for IBS and trying a prescription diet. The vet is also monitoring her kidney function as she ages, but no treatment has been necessary yet. The current owner/foster is willing to consider assisting with the cost of April’s future medical care if needed.
If you are looking for a fun, friendly, curious, loving and playful senior cat to keep you company and warm your lap this winter, look no further. April is a great combination of affectionate and active, but not overly energetic or demanding. She would likely do well with friendly cats, dogs and children over 5 years old. You won’t regret welcoming this lover into your life!
There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown. All ages and breeds are best estimate. Adoption fees include a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. All cats have received comprehensive veterinary care and tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV unless otherwise stated.
Cats are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and have been spayed/neutered, treated for fleas and/or ear mites, de-wormed, and microchipped. Please note there may be additional follow up visits and boosters that are not covered by Pet Haven after adoption. Interested in adopting or learning more about this cat?

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!

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.
