My story

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

Harry is a fuzzy, friendly 7-year-old guy with feline leukemia looking for a forever home to call his own!

If you want an exceptionally chill cat who will love you on every chance he gets, Harry is the guy for you! After at least 4 years on the streets, we'd all understand if he was a little worse for the wear, or scared of humans, or still learning how to do indoor life. However, he seems like he was born to be a spoiled house cat! Make eye contact with him and he's immediately purring and making biscuits, and then marching over to stand on his hind legs and stretch up to head butt your chin. He is passionate about grooming himself, getting his chin scratched, and eating wet food.

Harry is a simple man loving his simple indoor life after the challenges of life outdoors. He wakes up late, has his breakfast (usually with a little conversation - got to fill his human in on the exciting dreams he had), leans in for some morning pets and head bumps, and then goes back to sleep. He'll get up periodically during the day for snacks, head bumps, grooming and maybe some birdwatching, but is very low-key and content to just laze around. He gets excited for his supper, and then sleeps soundly all night long before repeating again the next day!

Harry currently lives in a house with two adults and another FeLV+ cat. He's not particularly interested in the other cat, but does love both humans! Given his low energy levels and lack of curiosity or explorative tendencies, he'd be fine in an apartment, condo or house - as long as he's got humans to pet him, he will be happy.

Because Harry is FeLV+, he cannot live with another cat unless they are also FeLV+ - that's fine though, as he would likely be happiest as the only cat getting alllllll the human love! FeLV is not contagious to humans or dogs but can be transferred to other cats. Annual vet visits, regular immunizations, and your love will help Harry maintain a normal, healthy, and happy life. You can read more about FeLV here: https://tinyurl.com/ycxhwcmu

Harry hasn’t met a dog in foster care yet, so we don’t quite know what he’d think about them. We think he would like kids though - he seems to really like people in general and has shown no fear of fast movements, unexpected noise, or being pet all over!

Harry would be perfect for someone who works a hybrid or flexible work schedule - he is an excellent and respectful work-from-home coworker but also very fine being on his own most of the day. He'll greet you with just as much gusto and love if you've been out of the house all day or if he's just woken up from a nap on your desk! He would prefer to be an only cat so that he can monopolize the chin scratches.

Harry really is one of the sweetest, friendliest, most loving cats out there. He will bring so much joy and so many snuggles to whoever adopts him!

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.
