My story

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

Polaris is a cute black and white medium hair kitten and Oberon is a quiet grey tabby, both with an estimated DOB of May 2024—these sweet brothers are looking for a quieter forever home where they can be the only animals.

Little Oberon, the runt, came into foster care with 4 other siblings and was the last to warm up to people. After time and lots of patience, he has come around to be such a sweet boy who enjoys being near his people and quite the purring love bug. He still can be skittish when approached or when you move suddenly, and some days just wants to hide. He will need a person or people who are very understanding and patient, and who can help him gain confidence at his own pace. When he finally does warm up to you, it is so rewarding!

Polaris, on the other hand, is extremely friendly and confident. He loves attention, running around, and investigating everything he can. He's very food-motivated and will be there anytime you open a can of food or a Churu packet (sometimes grabbing your hand with his paw to bring it closer to himself). One of his favorite things to do is plop down on something with a view and supervise, especially if it's near a human who can pet him. He likes to chase, pounce and wrestle, sometimes with Oberon, but can leave him alone as well.

Both of these fine gentlemen have been around other cats before (their siblings) and they have heard the noise from the dogs that live in their foster home; with Oberon’s quiet nature, he and Polaris would do best in a place without much activity. In light of this, they should go to a home with adult(s) only, or they could live with teenagers as well, if there are not tons of friends coming and going or commotion all the time.

Polaris loves chasing after a wand toy, and sometimes Oberon will join in as well. They both like getting their backs petted and receiving ear rubs. Polaris will start purring as soon as you get close, but Oberon only purrs if he chooses to cuddle with you. Although Oberon may take longer to adjust, he's got quite the personality and love to share with the right home, and Polaris will give you plenty of love from the start!

Are you ready to reach for the stars of love and kitty affection? Why not give Polaris and Oberon a chance to shine?

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.
