Story
Midnight is a shy and mysterious mini panther beauty. She loves to climb in high or hidden places, and lives for dinner time, treat time, second dinner time, catnip time, and string toy time! Midnight knows what she wants and has a distinct and unforgettable meow, which she will use to tell you all of her thoughts on the speed her food is being delivered (hint: not fast enough). Never fully growing to trust people after a difficult early life, Midnight has spent a lot of her life in the shelter and gets along great with other cats. It would warm our hearts to find Midnight her very own forever home to retire in, with a loving and patient human family who let her be her shy self.

Story
Swipe right for Sunny, the feline heartbreaker who plays hard-to-get but melts like butter with the right scratches! This suave orange tabby, born to captivate, arrived at the shelter with his mom and two sisters, and he's been honing his elusive charm for years. Sunny may give you the cold shoulder at first, but unraveling his mysterious aura is part of the enchantment. Picture this: a handsome cat who raises his butt in the air when you hit the sweet spot on his lower back. It's the feline equivalent of a coy smile! Sunny’s perfect furrever home will include another feline friend. Don’t worry, if you don’t have one, we’ve got a couple to recommend (wink, wink). Sunny’s perfect human embraces patience, understands his laid-back charm, and appreciates the occasional need for a quiet sunlit nap—because this charming orange tabby deserves a forever home tailored to his relaxed feline style. Ready for a relationship that keeps you on your toes? Unleash your charm offensive and be the one to crack Sunny's code. Swipe right, and let the pursuit of love begin! #SunnyDaysAhead #AdoptALazyCat #SunnyLoveStory #CatCharm #SwipeRightForSunny

Story
Fisher is a disco party dressed up as a sweet black cat, and he’s looking for a fun human to keep up with him. If he isn’t running on the cat wheel, you may find him with all four paws in the air wiggling about in a pile of catnip, climbing, carefully watching the neighborhood from the window, or figuring out how to get treats. Most homes would work well for Fisher, and he would work especially well with other cats as he is a gentle and respectful boy who is just here to have a good time. He is a big, light-hearted goofball – if you’re a fun and loving human prepared to keep an endless supply of catnip in your home pantry (and possibly a cat-sized hamster wheel) Fisher wants to meet you!

Story
Lucky & Tommy are a bonded pair of large, beautiful tuxedo-wearing siblings (Lucky in the black, Tommy in the Gray) with special needs who found their way to us when their owner passed away. Lucky is playful, and silly with the cutest expressions and a fondness for curling up in unusual places – she is VERY passionate about catnip. Tommy loves watching the world out the window and is a big love bug who enjoys string toys and lap time. Both have unique special dietary needs that require routine/separate feeding instead of shared dishes, therefore they’re looking for an experienced adopter or a human eager to learn. This easy-going pair would love a forever home again; in exchange, they will bring endless love and silliness to your world. If you are not fully certain about adoption, Lucky & Tommy are also looking for a long-term foster family situation. Their special diet would be so much more easily managed in a private home versus the shelter. Safe Haven would supply foster home with unlimited supply of special food and cover any medical expenses. There is not an adoption fee for fostered animals from our shelter. Please reach out to us if interested in fostering Tommy and Lucky together in your home.
