5. Portokali

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 15 mi from Apple Valley

Meet Porto, a good-natured goofball looking for his forever home!This handsome boy's full name is Portokali, meaning orange in Greek. Of course, this perfectly reflects his handsome orange and white coat! Given his delicate nature and sunny disposition, he could easily be called Poppy or Marigold, sure to bring warmth and cheer into your home. Porto loves people! He may be a little cautious or shy with new people at first, but will soon be flopping down looking for a belly rub. His long lean body makes a big beautiful smile on the floor when he flexes his back and fully stretches his legs and belly.

Read more about Portokali

From his round innocent eyes to the tip of his long expressive tail, Porto is full of wonder and happiness!At barely a year old, everything is pretty new to him. He adapts well to his surroundings and is not easily startled by loud noises. He is fascinated by the magic of a flushing toilet, and curious about the sudden sound of a vacuum cleaner. He could spend all day intently watching everything that moves outside, and forgetting that the window is there to keep him safely inside! Did we mention that he's a goofball? After a few bonks to the head he'll look for a quiet place to enjoy a long nap before coming back out to bounce around with some favorite toys. What a joy it is to watch him play! He loves his catnip toys, balls and springs. And he always appreciates having someone nearby to play with or to offer him some affection.For being so young, this silly boy sleeps a lot and quietly keeps himself entertained. He currently lives quite happily with one boring human who he visits throughout the day and sweetly shares space with at night. Porto does well on his own, but he would probably do even better with a friendly feline playmate. Dogs and kids are unknown, but as long as they are gentle and respectful it should be fine after slow introductions. This kitty would not do well with an alpha pet or anyone hyper or overly active.It should be noted that Porto has recently been found to have a mild case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which sounds horrifying, but simply means that he wobbles a bit. His balance and movements are not fully in his control because that part of his brain did not fully develop. This does not affect his intelligence, nor his good looks. It won't get worse nor shorten his life, and he's not weak nor in pain. In fact, when Pet Haven paid for him to have an x-ray, the vet said that Porto has an exemplary body with beautiful muscular structure and perfect bones! He just has a derpy disposition, and doesn't know his limitations.Porto is still learning to adjust while he explores and plays like any normal kitty. For example, he can accidentally clear items off a desk when jumping up, or faceplant when getting back down. So far he doesn't even try to get up on counters, but precautions should be taken to ensure his safety as he grows more confident. He needs to be an indoor only cat. His ideal home would not have a second story balcony or bridge landing that he could fall off of. And his people would look for ways to make his world more safe and fun. Most adjustments are relatively simple such as using non-slip rugs, pet gates or padding in certain areas. We all have days where things don't go right, we drop the ball, or the rug gets pulled out from under us. Stuff like that happens all the time in Porto's world. This cute klutzy kitty can show you how to shake it off and go play!— — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

He enjoys looking out windows and laying in sunbeams. He especially likes being pet and brushed by people (and sitting on their lap)! Carl’s idea of a fun time is sitting in boxes.

He likes wet food and is free fed dry food. He would do well in a home either as a single cat or with non-dominant cats given a slow introduction.

Meet Samira, a 1-year-old sweetheart looking for her forever home!Samira has the personality of a princess! She loves to sit on the highest perch of her cat tree and look down at her kingdom, while her foster brings her many offerings (toys and treats). She’s very playful and loves to play with springs, wand toys, and crumpled receipts. She is also one of the most affectionate cats ever. She will purr every time you pet her, snuggle up to your legs while you sleep, and make biscuits on soft blankets next to you. Samira has a medium energy level. She definitely loves to play with her human and chase after toys that you throw, but she also likes to lounge, look out the window, and nap.

Interactively playing with her a couple times a day will make her very happy, and sometimes she will also independently chase a spring around in the early morning! Samira is currently living with one human in an apartment. Samira would love a home with humans who can give her a lot of attention, possibly with a partial work-from-home schedule or someone who can spend a lot of time at home after work. She loves to know that her human is home with her, and if she thinks you are going somewhere, she will put a paw on you or make an unhappy squeak to tell you she wants you to stay! She has had visitors over in her current home and was very brave and friendly with them, so she could do well in a household with multiple people!If you’re looking for a sweet and affectionate feline friend, Samira can’t wait to meet you! — — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 15 mi from Apple Valley

Meet Dahlia (aka Dolly), 6-month-old petite sweetheart will beautiful markings, a gentle nature, and a goofy streak — and she’s looking for her perfect home!Dahlia has the sweetest go-with-the-flow personality you’ll ever see, but she has a secret spunky side too. She loves attention, especially chin scratches and belly rubs, but she’s never demanding about it. She’s just as content curled up in a cozy spot on her own as she is being carried around in her human’s arms like a baby. She adores treat time (she’s even been known to steal the whole bag) and has become quite the puzzle-feeder pro.Dahlia isn’t overly vocal; instead, she offers the cutest little squeak and soft purrs to express herself.

Read more about Miss Dahlia

Once she trusts you, she’ll lean in for affection and show you her silly, sweet personality — and she’ll probably give you a bath during petting sessions too. She’s more laid back than her sister and foster friends, but that’s just her polite nature. When playtime kicks in, she absolutely knows how to hold her own. She may look delicate, but she’s scrappy in the cutest way — rolling, pouncing, and showing off her little tough‑girl side during play‑fights with her foster crew. Once she’s done playing, she’ll retreat to a cozy bed or the sofa to lounge and keep an eye on the action. Dahlia currently lives with her foster mom, her sister, Zinnia, two other foster pals (age 5–6 months), and three resident cats (age 1, 1.5, and 6 years) in a single‑family home with lots of windows and plenty of space. She does beautifully with her foster crew and her three feline “uncles.” Her ideal home would offer sunny windows, comfy perches, and humans who appreciate a young gal with both softness and spunk. She does wonderfully with other friendly cats and because she's still young, would thrive with at least one playful feline buddy — she'd be thrilled to go home with her sister Zinnia or her foster mate, James. She should do well with respectful, older children who understand kitten boundaries, and her experience with dogs is unknown. Once this little gal settles into her new space and family, she'll blossom into a loving, quirky, easygoing companion. She’s ready to bring sweetness, silliness, and a whole lot of charm to her forever home.For more photos and videos, feel free to visit Dahlia's foster mom's Instagram page: Tempurrary_Insanity. — — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

Meet Creamsicle, a one year old playful cat looking for his forever home!Creamsicle is playful, adventurous, vocal, and affectionate. He still has some kitten energy in his system and loves to play and gets the zoomies frequently! He loves to play with all toys, but his favorites are tunnels and wand toys. His tail shivers when he’s excited, which adds to his cuteness. He enjoys being pet and receiving attention, but he’s not quite a lap cat (at least not yet). He will meow to let you know his feelings! Creamsicle is more interested in going under furniture than climbing it, but if there is food to be found up high he will make the climb.

He is very food motivated and not a picky eater. Creamsicle currently lives in a house with two adult humans and one senior cat who he is kept separate from. Creamsicle was previously a stray before coming to Pet Haven. He did have an outdoor kitty friend who he played with often and spent lots of time with. Creamsicle has shown interest in the resident senior cat in his foster home, but unfortunately their introduction wasn’t successful and they are separated. However, Creamsicle would likely do well with other friendly and playful cats. He would be fine as a solo cat as well. Above all, Creamsicle is looking for a home with affectionate humans who can give him lots of playtime!

12. Violet Bloom

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 15 mi from Apple Valley

Violet is a spunky, 1-year-old cat looking for her forever home!This beauty is a brown tabby girl with adorable orange “pants,” little white mittens, and a whole lot to say! Violet has come an incredible way in foster care. When she first arrived, she was very frightened, and would bite or scratch when she felt threatened. Two months later, she has transformed! Violet now enjoys affection (even from strangers), gets along with her resident feline friend, and doesn’t hurt anyone, even when they push her buttons. In a new home, she will likely need some time to settle in, but to help her with the transition the adopter can choose to continue her Prozac and Xanax prescriptions that helped her become more relaxed during fostering.

Read more about Violet Bloom

(You may find that she only needs it for a short time as she settles in; that was the case in our home.)Violet is a playful cat and enjoys going after mouse toys (especially those with catnip!) and chasing her foster's resident cat. She is independent and can keep herself entertained, but genuinely enjoys being petted and often likes being picked up, too. Sometimes she'll act cranky about receiving attention, but switches to purring soon after! She will appreciate someone who enjoys her expressive, occasionally sassy ways, but who can also take the hint when she really does want some “me time”. She also enjoys sitting on a perch and observing the goings-on of the house. Violet is a great roommate, who is respectful of your stuff and has excellent litterbox habits, although houseplants may occasionally be mistaken for snacks. (Her forever humans will want to make sure that any house plants are kitty-safe, just in case.)This pretty girl currently lives in a quiet apartment with two adults and a male 1 year old cat. At first she was overwhelmed by everyone and wanted her own space, but now she gets along with everybody and is comfortable with the daily life going on around her.Violet would prefer a quiet space with a space of her own for the first few weeks. While fostering her, we had great success with putting her in her own room with a baby gate so that she can have her personal bubble for as long as she needs, but can also feel stimulated and get used to the sights/sounds/smells of the household and the other cat.Her progress increased exponentially after we tried this! After a few weeks, she will be just fine with whatever daily activity goes on in the house. She is independent and happy to spend time without humans during the daytime, and could be a great fit for owners with an in-person 9-5 job. She should not be placed with dogs or young children, as they may be overwhelming and less attentive to her boundaries. However, she would love to have a friendly cat buddy who will playchase with her, but also respect her boundariesViolet will need extra patience and attention to boundaries for the first few weeks, but when she opens up, her affection will be all that much more rewarding :) She has already shown how much love and personality can shine through when a scared cat starts to feel safe.She's chatty, playful, affectionate, and a little spicy in the best way. Knowing how far Violet has come in her journey will make her love for her humans that much more meaningful.There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

Peaches and Timida are a remarkable, bonded mother-daughter duo searching for a forever home where they can continue their journey together. While they are very different in personality, they complement each other perfectly and bring endless love, entertainment, and companionship wherever they go.Peaches is a loving, confident, and incredibly gentle one-and-a-half-year-old mama cat with stunning emerald green eyes and a coat full of hidden surprises. At first glance, she appears mostly gray, but in the sunlight her subtle tortie coloring, orange speckles, white markings, and striped tail with its white tip become beautifully visible.Peaches is the definition of a sweetheart.

She adores affection and would happily accept pets for hours. Her loud, soothing purrs are constant, accompanied by an adorable little wheeze that has remained unchanged since she was rescued. She loves belly rubs, chin scratches, and gentle pats near the base of her tail. Wherever you are, Peaches wants to be nearby, whether she's following you from room to room or lounging close by while you relax.Although she has a calm and easygoing nature, Peaches still has a playful kitten spirit waiting to shine. Daily zoomies and wrestling matches with Timida are a regular source of joy, and when given one-on-one attention, her playful side truly comes alive. After spending much of her young life surviving outdoors and raising kittens, she deserves a home that encourages her to rediscover the carefree kitten hidden inside.Peaches is highly food motivated, enjoys wet food and treats, and isn't shy about reminding you when breakfast is overdue. She is welcoming toward new people and settles into social situations with impressive confidence.Peaches is FIV+, but that doesn’t mean she can’t live a long, normal, and healthy life! Cats with FIV commonly have average lifespans. Because FIV is spread only through deep bite wounds, FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats in stable social environments. You can read more about FIV here: https://tinyurl.com/58sf9wtjTimida is Peaches' eight-month-old daughter and a bundle of intelligence, curiosity, and endless energy. With her bright yellow eyes, striking two-toned nose, and beautifully patterned calico-tortie coat, she is every bit as stunning as she is entertaining.True to her name, Timida can be cautious when meeting new people or entering new environments, but beneath that initial hesitation is an affectionate, social, and deeply loving kitten. Once she trusts you, her personality blossoms. She greets familiar people confidently, purrs proudly, and eagerly seeks attention. She appreciates being allowed to approach first and enjoys gentle pets, belly rubs, and the continued practice of being held.Timida is exceptionally smart and endlessly playful.

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 15 mi from Apple Valley

Hi, I’m Mouse, a 2-year-old zoomie king looking for my forever home!My name is Mouse but my foster mom calls me Danger Mouse as I’m a playful beast who’s never met a toy I didn’t like! I like to hide in small Amazon boxes, steal hair ties and beat them around the house, and chase after bouncy balls. Wand toys are my ultimate desire and I will drop everything to chase them around. I’m a healthy guy with no medical needs and I’m a master at keeping my litter box clean! I’m also a total foodie and will make my hunger known in the morning and evening. Potential adopters, beware of me around human food.

Read more about Mouse

I am very curious and a TSA-level sniffer. I’ve never met a stranger! I welcome anyone into the house so long as they play with me. I’m affectionate and love to lay on my foster mom’s chest and rub my head against her face! Head scratches make me purr and drool!I’m high energy and love to play hard. I’m still a teenager and am working on my manners and I can be a bit nippy. It’s just my way of signaling that I want to play! I’ve never hissed or bitten out of aggression though. When my foster mom works from home, I sit on her laptop and rub my head against hers or give little hand nibbles to indicate it’s play time. I currently live with one foster parent in a one bedroom apartment. I love looking out the windows and seeing the world! I love my human friends, but I’m not a fan of other cats. I like having all the attention on me and would love a human friend who can give me lots of playtime! I may not be the best fit for someone who can’t be around to give me a lot of attention or someone who doesn’t have much cat experience, because I run on a bit of an unpredictable schedule. I would love to have human playmates, but any children should be a bit older and understand how to respect my boundaries.If you’re looking for a playful feline friend to add to your home, I just might be your guy!— — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

They are not very talkative unless it's 5 o'clock, when they are ready for wet cat food; they have no qualms about letting the chef know if he is behind schedule! Malachai has a heartier appetite; therefore, it’s best to feed them in separate dishes, about 10 feet apart, so Malachai doesn’t eat all of Augie’s leftovers.Most of all, though, they enjoy hanging out nearby. If you sit in a room, the chances are good they will show up and find comfy places to nap on you next to you.We live in a 3 bedroom house. and are home most of the time.

In new environments she may take a moment to settle in, but once she feels safe, her true personality shines — warm, loving, and eager to connect with her humans. She’s the kind of kitten who quietly observes first, then blossoms into a sweet, confident companion. Zinnia adores being combed, getting pets, and curling up on a good lap. When she and her foster crew get the run of the house, she often chooses a cuddle session with her foster mom before heading off to explore and play.She’s not very vocal; instead, she communicates through soft purrs and face nuzzles.

Her affection is gentle and intentional — she’ll lean in and melt into you for every scratch and pet she can get. She’s not loud or demanding; she’s just quietly sweet, making you feel genuinely chosen.Zinnia’s energy level is wonderfully balanced. She’s past the wild kitten phase and is generally a chill girl, but bring out a wand toy and her fierce little hunter side comes alive! She loves window‐watching and interactive toys that give her the exercise and mental stimulation she enjoyed as an outdoor kitten. After playtime, she’s quick to settle into a cozy spot — or snuggle up beside you for more affection.Zinnia currently lives with her foster mom, three foster kittens (age 5-6 months), three resident cats (ages 1, 1.5, and 6 years) in a single-family home with ample space and lots of windows. She does beautifully with her fellow foster crew and her three kitty uncles.Her ideal home would offer sunny windows, cozy lounging spots, and humans who are around often to enjoy her affectionate nature. Because she’s still young, she’d thrive with at least one playful, friendly cat companion; she’d be thrilled to go home with her sister Dahlia or her twin foster brothers, Henry and James. She should do well with respectful children age 5+ who understand kitten boundaries, and her experience with dogs is unknown.With a little patience as she adjusts to a new space, Zinnia blossoms into an incredibly sweet, easygoing, and loving companion. She’s ready to bring warmth, charm, gentle affection and a little spunk to her forever home!For more photos and videos, feel free to visit Zinnia's foster mom's Instagram page: @Tempurrary_Insanity.-----There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

She has gone from a very frightened cat who hid in her shelter cage to a confident little companion who happily explores the house, plays, and seeks out affection.She can still be cautious when something is new, especially unfamiliar sounds, people, or cats, so she does best when she is allowed to approach new experiences at her own pace. With patience, she has shown that she can form strong bonds and become an incredibly loving companion. Miss Violet has an old, healed fracture on her left femoral neck. She has excellent mobility in her foster home and jumps and climbs with no obvious limp or limitations. Currently, she does not require special accommodations for the leg.Miss Violet currently lives in a house with two adults and two other cats. She has gradually progressed from spending most of her time in her foster room to confidently exploring and spending time throughout the home. Miss Violet's ideal home is one where her people will give her a little time and patience as she gets comfortable with her new surroundings. She would do best with adopters who understand that a cat may behave more cautiously during the first few days or weeks in a new home than she does once she feels secure. Once Miss Violet feels safe, she is affectionate, playful, curious, and eager to be part of her person's life. She would thrive with someone who enjoys interactive play, gives her plenty of affection, and will let her build confidence at her own pace. Miss Violet may be able to live happily with another cat, but introductions should be slow and carefully managed. Because she can initially be cautious or defensive around unfamiliar cats, a home with a calm, cat-savvy resident cat would likely be the best match. A patient adopter who is willing to let her set the pace during introductions would be ideal. Miss Violet is looking for a loving new home that will allow her to continue her journey from a frightened and cautious young girl to an incredibly affectionate and loving companion! Her foster family has watched her transform from hiding and freezing to exploring the entire house, playing, seeking affection, and happily interacting with her people.If you’re looking for a sweet and affectionate new friend in your life, Miss Violet just might be the girl for you!— — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

Read more about Leah / Simba

Simba is quite overweight and is currently working hard on his weight loss journey! He will need lots of love to help him get closer to a healthier and more comfortable weight. Both cats are champion litterbox users, but you’ll want a high-sided box to prevent the big guy from hanging over the edge.Leah and Simba currently live in the guest room at their foster home. They were previously in a home with a single older adult. They have been warm to all visitors since getting settled in. This duo would do well in a home with adults or older children who want to play but also know when to give them space. Younger children would likely be a bit too much for these adult cats. They’re used to living with an older person, but some play time isn’t out of the question for them. — — —There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

Why adopt an adult cat in Apple Valley

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
