My story

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

Buddy is a 2-year-old, energetic sweetie looking for his forever home!

Buddy has a ton of energy, is very curious, and loves human attention. He'll play with just about anything, including cat toys of various types and sizes, brooms, and shoelaces. He is friendly and outgoing when meeting new people for the first time. Buddy is extremely chatty and has a lot of funny and interesting vocalizations that make us laugh.

He's also pretty persistent when he encounters something he isn't allowed to do, and he's very smart, so he'll need someone who's willing to take the time to divert his energy and train him consistently on the rules in his new home. Buddy is very affectionate, sleeping with or near his humans at night and curling up on our laps.

Buddy loves to watch the birds outside our window and chatter at them. His main hobby, though, is playing with his cat toys, especially a feather wand toy that he proudly carries around in his mouth after ""hunting"" the bird. He has a very long attention span and will play for a long time. He also spends time plotting how to get into closets and cupboards.

We play with him as often as we can, because he has a lot of energy and craves human interaction. That might involve throwing a ping-pong ball for him to chase, playing with his feather wand toy, or supervising him while he plays with other feather toys. He also watches birds for long periods of time. At night he sleeps with us or on a chair near the bed.

Buddy currently lives with two humans in a house. We think this handsome fellow will do well with a person or family who's willing and able to spend time interacting with him and playing with him. We have not observed Buddy with other dogs or cats; however, he has been around kids and was sweet, patient, and didn't seem afraid of them at all.

This adorable guy has a lot of energy, curiosity, and intelligence that needs to be channeled into positive activities like chasing toys and other fun enrichment activities. He would thrive with people who are around a lot and would enjoy sharing his playtime shenanigans.

Have you been searching for a cuddly cat who will keep you company and add plenty of fun to your day? Buddy would love to meet you!

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.
