My story

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

River is a 5-month-old, super-lovey kitten looking for his forever home!

River is a lover! He will reach out to me with his little orange paw, tap at me as I get near him, and meow in his little kitty voice and look up at me with his orange eyes to let me know that he wants to be picked up and held. He snuggles against my neck and purrs loudly and sometimes plays with my hair. He's a big sweetheart! He also loves to run and jump and play with bouncy toys. River is a bit of an explorer as well, and always wants to be where the people are.

This handsome guy gets dry food in the morning and then he plays with catnip toys for a bit, followed by a cozy nap in the kitten pile with his siblings. In the evening, he gets wet food, followed by more playtime with his buddies and then another nap. This boy has a lot of energy—play hard, sleep hard is his motto!

River lives in a room in a house with his 4 kitten besties and 3 young cats who sometimes come to visit. There are two adults in the home, and River behaves very well around adults and other cats (children and dogs are still unknown). This guy is very loving.

River would love to be with people who enjoy snuggles, big purrs, and who are around a lot to give him plenty of snuggles and attention. He would be a good match for a family of all ages and people who like to play. As a youngster, River will have to go home with one of his siblings or to a home with an active young resident feline friend who can help him learn how to cat.

If you’re ready to sail down the happy River of kitten fun this season, please consider adding this sweet ginger guy to your family!

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.

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.
