14. Wednesday Adams
Adult (11 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 37 mi from Hartsville




Hi, I'm Wednesday Adams. I'm a pretty black cat with eyes that almost cross. When I was a tiny kitten and all alone, some people rescued me out of a storm drain. I wasn't sure about them, but it turns out they were really nice, and they'd give me great kitty treats, catnip, and Churu yummies. So even though I'm still shy and would prefer a quiet home, I did discover that the right person has a lap that I love to sit on, and I love head and neck scratches (just don't touch my back, please).

15. Mary Berry
Adult (5 years 11 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 37 mi from Hartsville



Hi, I'm Mary Berry. I was named after that sweet lady who has the baking show. I'm pretty sweet too. I have beautiful eyes and look like I'm wearing eyeliner.
I had a great home but my owner passed away, and the family couldn't keep me due to allergies. Now I'm looking for another sweet home for a purrfect girl like me.
My tummy is a little sensitive so I eat special kitty food to keep me feeling my best. It's not a big deal and I'm very healthy otherwise. Let's see what we can cook up together!

Adult (2 years 5 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (medium coat) · 37 mi from Hartsville


Hi I'm Tahoe.
I am a gray and white male tabby about 2 years old.
I am a sweet guy looking for a warm, furever home. Don't let my name fool you, I like the warm, indoor life. It gets cold outside when you are a stray kitty. I don't know if I had a home and family once, but I know that life is much better living indoors with people who adore and worship you.
I am a purrfect gentleman looking for my furever family. Do you have room for a great guy like me? I know once you meet me, you will fall in love and we will live happily furever. Hurry, I'm waiting.

Hi, I'm Lucky! I love to cuddle and play, bringing joy with my happy purrs and smart tricks. I'm the friend you've dreamed of, always ready to listen and make you smile.

How to adopt from Stray Haven Inc
Thank you so much for considering a rescued pet as your next family member! People like you extending your faith in second hand pets is what makes our rescue go round. We depend on adoptions to not only enrich the life of our rescue pet, but to save the life of the next one in line, that we can't take until our babies find their new forevers. We want you to know that your time is very valuable to us and we want our entire process to be done in good faith. We need you to be honest with us and we will be honest with you. Any deception found during the application process will be grounds for denial. Requirements: We understand how important your time is and how emotional adding a new pet to the family can be. We are an all volunteer rescue with no paid staff, so we are going to do our best to help you know from the get go if your home environment will be a harmonious fit for what we are looking for in our new adoptive parents. Our checks are extensive, so we ask that you maintain an honest dialogue with us throughout the application. While we believe that any home can become a great one with education, we can not trust applicants that start off on the wrong foot with any untruths during the application process. Your current pets need to be fixed. Unless there is a medical issue or compelling reason that your current pets aren't fixed, we will need to pass on your application. Even though our pets are fixed, elevated levels of hormones in existing pets can cause a greater chanc

Regular Adoption Fee (kittens or adult cats less than 5 years old): $80. Two can be adopted together for a total fee of $120. Senior citizens (55 or older) may adopt a pet for a special fee of $50.

Adopting a cat in Hartsville
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
