Minnow gets along wonderfully with cats of all ages and would likely love having a playful feline friend to romp, chase, and get into kitten mischeif with. He hasn't been around dogs yet, so we're not sure how he would feel about having a canine roommate.

5. Lo Mein
Young (5 months 10 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 36 mi from Nichols






Hi, my name is Lo Mein! My foster mom says I'm a confident and outgoing kitten. I love to explore and play! Right now, my favorite toys are teaser wands, balls that crinkle and these silly little plastic springs that are just too much fun!
When I'm not busy playing, I love to follow my foster mom around, rub on her legs and get pets. I also don't mind being picked up and cuddled although I am still a kitten and have things to do so sometimes cuddles are a little short right now but my foster mom says I'm getting more cuddly as I'm getting older. Anytime I get attention, I purr loudly!
Read more about Lo Mein
One of my other favorite things is food! I love Churus and come running for my wet food at night! My foster mom has also bought me a couple of treat puzzles and I'm a whiz at those!
My foster mom says to mention that I'm really good at using my cat scratchers and leave carpet and furniture alone. I have cardboard and sisal scratchers and like them both!
When I first came into foster, I was with my brother. He's been adopted but, when he was here, we played well together... we loved to run around, pounce on each other and wrestle but could also play independently. I'd probably do okay with and maybe even enjoy another cat in the home, especially if they're playful, but this isn't a must. I've also met my foster mom's golden retriever and like her... she's not very playful but I follow her around, boop noses with her and rub on her fluffy fur, so I could easily live with a cat friendly dog as well!
Lo Mein's adoption fee is $100 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations, and an FeLV test. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes a background check, home visit, and a vet history check. If you would like to meet Lo Mein, please submit an adoption application on our website, Adopthope.org.

8. Smoky
Adult (2 years 6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 36 mi from Nichols


At just around 3 years old, Smoky has lived quite a sheltered life. His previous owner never introduced him to other animals and declawed him at a young age. Like most adult cats who are declawed, Smoky can be bit mouthy when overstimulated or upset. Due to this, he is looking for a quiet home without any children and with an experienced cat owner who can help him learn to trust people again. He has shown to be hissy with other cats and may be best suited as an only pet.
Read more about Smoky
Smoky has begun to show us his playful and loving side as well. He enjoys stretching out and "scratching" on cat towers despite not having any claws. He also really loves churu treats and receiving all the pets once he trusts you... specifically all the butt scratches he can get. He is just a goofy guy looking for someone that is willing to understand him.

18. Nora
Adult (8 years 2 months) · Female · Domestic Long Hair / Calico / Mixed · 38 mi from Nichols





Meet Nora
This beautiful long-haired calico girl may be a little spunky, but given what she's been through, we think she's earned that right.
Nora's story began when she appeared as a stray, carrying more than just the struggles of life on the streets. She arrived with a wound on her back, a heavily matted coat, serious infections, and signs of malnourishment. The family who found her wanted to help but were unable to provide the care she desperately needed, so they reached out to Safe Haven.
Read more about Nora
Despite everything she has endured, Nora's spirit shines through. Beneath her cautious demeanor is a resilient little fighter who deserves the chance to experience love, comfort, and security. We are committed to standing by her side every step of the way, celebrating every milestone, every ounce gained, and every moment of trust she shares with us.
Nora's road to recovery has taken some time, but she is finally safe, warm, and cared for. We can't wait to watch her transform from a survivor into a beloved companion, and we know her best days are still ahead of her. ❤️

Female · Domestic Short Hair · 38 mi from Nichols




Amanda is not currently up for adoption at our shelter - instead we are helping her owner, Jenny, by listing her as a Courtesy Listing in hopes we can help Jenny find someone that will welcome Amanda into their home! Jenny's contact info is down below for anyone potentially interested.
Meet Amanda.
Read more about Amanda
Life hasn't been easy for this sweet girl. We don't know exactly what happened to her before she came into our care, but at some point, she suffered severe trauma that left her with a significant pelvic injury. She's also undergone a partial tail amputation. Despite everything she's endured, Amanda has remained one of the gentlest, most loving souls I've ever met.
One of my favorite things about Amanda is that she often chooses to spend time with my 4- and 6-year-old while they're busy playing veterinarian. She happily sits through all the "checkups" and soaks up every bit of attention. It says so much about her gentle, trusting personality.
While she moves a little slower than most cats, she's surprisingly mobile. She can climb onto chairs for a cozy nap, uses the litter box perfectly, and gets along wonderfully with other cats.
Amanda's disabilities don't define her. If you can look beyond her physical challenges, you'll discover an incredibly affectionate companion with so much love to give.
The only reason I'm looking for the perfect home for Amanda is because she deserves more one-on-one attention than I can provide. As a single parent with multiple pets, it's difficult to give her the lap time she craves. She would thrive in a single-story home where she wouldn't need to navigate stairs to reach her litter box, food, or favorite resting spots.
There is absolutely no rush—Amanda is safe, loved, and welcome to stay with us until the perfect family comes along.
If you think you might be the person Amanda has been waiting for, I'd love for you to reach out and schedule a time to meet this incredible girl. I have a feeling she'll steal your heart just like she stole mine.

20. Lola
Young (7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Calico / Mixed · 38 mi from Nichols


Please Note: This kitten is in foster care.
Lola has already come a long way. Found as a frightened feral stray who thought everything (and everyone!) was scary, she's learned that people aren't so bad, especially when they bring food.
Read more about Lola
Lola is still a cautious girl who prefers a quiet home, maybe with another cat friend to show her the ropes. She needs time to adjust to new people, sounds, and experiences. When life feels overwhelming, she'll find a cozy hiding spot and wait for things to settle down. What Lola needs most is a patient person willing to let her move at her own pace. Give her some time, reassurance, and plenty of TLC, and you'll discover a loyal best friend hiding behind those beautiful, shy eyes.
Since Lola came to us as a frightened stray, she can be cautious and takes time to build trust with new people and environments. Safe Haven will work closely with interested adopters and her foster family to create the best transition plan for Lola's unique needs.
