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. I have Feline Leukemia, but that doesn't stop me from being the most loving companion and I love hanging out with my canine brothers and I'm very cat friendly (ok alone or with another Felv+ cat). I believe everyone deserves a chance at happiness, including me. Adopt me and let's share a life filled with love and playful adventures!Lucky is the SWEETEST BOY EVER! He's FelV+ and would be happy joining another or being the sole receiver of all the scratches he can get! Lucky has had a rough life before coming to StrayHaven and deserves a loving family that will embrace his scars and look at the amazing companion that is Lucky.These kitties currently have age appropriate vetting, which includes shots, deworming, microchipped and tested for FelV/FIV.

14. Kiki Diva
Adult · Female · Persian (long coat) · 17 mi from Union




This beautiful purebred Persian girl was born January 1, 2019, and is looking for a quiet, stable home where she can feel secure and settle in at her own pace. She is front declawed) She is a sensitive soul who can be strongly affected by changes in her environment and routine. She previously lived with another cat and tolerates both cats and dogs, although she doesn’t necessarily need their companionship.She was surrendered after she began having litter box issues following two significant changes in her home: her owner's daughter left for college and her longtime companion cat was rehomed. Because of this history, we feel she will do best in a calm, predictable household with an adopter who understands that stress can affect a cat’s behavior and is willing to give her plenty of time to adjust.Persians also require regular grooming and coat maintenance, so her new family should be prepared to keep up with her beautiful coat.

20. Momma March
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 17 mi from Union




Hello, I'm Momma March. I've been wandering, lost for 4 years, but safe now. I'm a loving girl; when my foster mom snuggles with me; I groom her and snuggle.. I've seen many sunrises and sunsets, each day hoping for a forever home where I can share my love and clever tricks. I dream of a quiet spot by a sunny window where I can watch the world go by with my new family; I love my cat tree by the window close to my foster mom. If you're looking for a faithful friend, I'm here waiting. Why not come meet me and let me charm my way into your heart? I will need a patient family as trust comes a little slower for me based on everything I have been through.

Adopting a cat in Union
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.
