My story

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

Patton is a 15-year-old distinguished gentleman looking for his forever home!

This boy is a sweet senior boy looking for a comfy bed to curl up on. Being an older fellow, he does come with some age-related health issues that any new family should be aware of.

Patton is a cozy, snuggly guy. He loves sitting on laps and sleeping next to his person. He will try to take over your pillow. You may find he tries to lick or eat your hair every now and then. If you work from home, he'll most likely want to sit on your lap and get lots of pets during your meetings.

He enjoys being brushed, which is good since he gets small mats in his long fur; his forever person will have to keep up the grooming to help this handsome fellow look his very best.

This guy loves sleeping, lounging, looking out windows, and every now and then he'll play with a toy. He’s also a big fan of both Temptation treats and Churus!

He's currently in a home with multiple cats of all ages. Although he prefers to be the alpha cat, he gets along with all but one of them, even licking his feline pals to help keep them tidy. He hasn’t met any dogs yet, and would likely do fine with older, respectful tweens/teens.

Patton is FIV+, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live a normal, happy, and healthy life! Since FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV+ cats can live in a home with other chill, easygoing felines, provided they have gentle introductions to make sure they all get along. You can read more about FIV here: https://tinyurl.com/58sf9wtj.

Patton would thrive in an affectionate, low-energy, easygoing home. His forever humans would have to be okay with monitoring his health conditions and helping him feel his very best. Patton has not liked the food for cats with kidney disease that he has tried so far, but he does enjoy wet food so is currently eating a mostly wet food diet. (His forever people could talk with the vet about trying different prescription brands of specialty renal canned food, to help him find one he prefers.)

This handsome fellow is currently in a home with Sweet Potato Pie (also available for adoption), the kitten shown in the pictures.

Senior cats are so ready to give lots of love and enjoy their golden years. Would you like to invite Patton into your home and your heart?

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?

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.
