My story

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

Lincoln is a 6-year-old friendly diva who is looking for his forever home!

This handsome creamsicle fellow is a very sweet boy; I’ve never seen him hiss or swipe (in a non-playful way). He isn’t a lap cat, but will follow his people into whichever room they are in and enjoys naps with a paw or two touching you. He does not meow as much as he chirps!

He will become very vocal around mealtimes, but he is overall a pretty quiet cat! He can be a little bit sassy and frequently paws things off surfaces to get attention. He can be a bit naughty but will respond to his name and follow directions if you gently tell him to get down from somewhere.

Lincoln is a very playful fur ball! He absolutely adores small dark spaces such as a cat tunnel or open cabinet drawer. He gets the zoomies sometimes and races around the house; he will perk up whenever he hears the bell on his feather toy. He also appreciates windows and watching cars and people go by.

Lincoln starts his day off with breakfast (which he can be a little bit picky about). Then he lounges in various cozy spots around my apartment—sometimes in a sunny spot and sometimes curled up in a ball underneath my covers. Once I’m home from work, he greets me at the door and needs pets and attention before going back to sleep.

Lincoln can be very curious about human food but can also be easily distracted with a toy. He tends to get the zoomies in the evening or if there something unusual going on (such as guests or putting up decorations). He loves to jump and chase and really enjoys when his owner plays with him. I will leave my bedroom door open when I go to bed; sometimes he joins me in my bed, or at other times he prefers to sleep on the couch.

Right now, Lincoln lives in a two-bedroom apartment with my roommate and me. We have a cozy L-shaped couch which he frequents but he prefers sleeping on the top of my roommate's desk in the living room. We don’t have ledges large enough for him to sit on and look out all the windows, but he enjoys watching cars pass by through a window in my room. We have a hallway that he likes to run up and down when he has a spurt of energy,

I think Lincoln will thrive in a home where he won’t have the opportunity to knock over valuables and will have plenty of space to curl up. He would love some window lookouts, and a cat tunnel is an absolute must! He should be the only cat in the household because he loves being the center of attention (dogs are unknown at this point).

However, he is very easygoing, gentle, and patient with humans so I think he could get along with anyone, including children! He tends to shed his white fur quite a bit but is good at sticking to his litterbox. Overall, this guy is a gem—a very sweet, quiet, and chill kitty.

If you’d like to add some of that lovely orange boy energy to your home, please consider adding the adorable Lincoln to your family!

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.
