My story

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

Penelope and Greg are two 4-month-old sweet kittens (BOTH female despite Greg’s name), looking for their forever home!

Penelope: This tiny orange tabby is bursting with personality! Penelope is sassy and sweet in equal measure, and she firmly believes she's the boss of the whole house. She’s not shy about expressing herself—whether it’s through loud meows or the occasional hiss when she’s feeling overwhelmed. Don’t be fooled, though—it’s all talk! Deep down, she adores her humans and her best friend, Greg.

Because Penelope was separated from her mom too early, she occasionally nibbles on fingers (she thinks they’re toys!) and would do best in a home with older kids who know when to give her space.

She’s also a shoulder climber and loves morning snuggles. When you first greet her, she’ll happily cuddle under your chin or head. At nap or bedtime, you’ll often find her snoozing on top of you, reaching out to stay close to Greg.

However, Penelope has one rule: she does not like to share food. If Greg gets too close during mealtime, Penelope will firmly let her know to back off, but it’s all part of their dynamic, and Greg knows to respect her boundaries.

Greg: Greg is a stunning jet-black kitten with a tiny white patch on her chest and exactly two white hairs between her eyes. She’s a total sweetheart and loves her humans almost as much as she loves her new bestie, Penelope. Greg is incredibly snuggly and will happily curl up in your arms or cuddle right up to your face. She’s easygoing and would do well in a home with kids who love carrying her around. Greg has a playful side, too—she’s lightning-fast with laser pointers and loves chasing balls and wand toys.

Greg and Penelope’s Playtime: When Penelope first saw Greg in her carrier, she couldn’t wait to be by her side, jumping on top of the carrier and the pop-up playpen to get closer. Greg was curious and excited, and once they were introduced, it was like they’d known each other forever. They immediately began playing, chasing, and wrestling, thrilled to finally have a buddy to share life with.

Greg has the sweetest habit of bouncing up to Penelope, inviting her to play. These two love chasing and wrestling each other—sometimes a bit arduously! If Penelope gets a little overwhelmed, Greg is learning to back off but may need occasional redirection with a wand toy when things get too intense.

Both kittens adore wand toys and balls. Greg is lightning-fast with the laser pointer, while Penelope prefers batting at a wand.

Penelope and Greg would do great in a home together where they could have space from each other when needed. They'd do well with other cats, especially ones who would want to play with Greg. They haven't met dogs, but I'd assume they'd do well with dogs who know how to give Penelope space sometimes. Penelope may need eye drops on occasion for her droopy eyes—this is on an as-needed basis. As noted above, they’d do well with gentle, older children.

These two 4-month-old female kittens are an inseparable pair of best friends with complementary personalities that make them the perfect duo. Their bond is nothing short of magical—they became besties within minutes of meeting each other! They are the perfect balance of playful and loving, ready to bring endless joy to their forever home!

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.
