2. Monkey / Olivia

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 7 mi from Minneapolis

Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m a spunky, confident, curious, playful little nugget who LOVES people! I’ll happily follow you around like a tiny, furry shadow. Snuggles, pets, laser chasing, and wild kitten zoomies with my bestie, Monkey, are my favorite things!My sweet girl, Monkey, is shyer and more cautious. She missed out on early human socialization, so learning to trust takes her a little extra time (and a few tasty Churu treats!). But my foster parents say earning her trust is SO worth it! With patience, kindness, and love, she’ll blossom into your very own bestie. Meanwhile, I’ll happily supply all the kitten kisses, cuddles, and silly antics your heart desires!We’d love a home without young, fast-moving kiddos to start.

Once Monkey feels safe and settled, additional family members down the road will be just fine! Our foster family’s grandkids visit often, and Monkey simply finds a cozy hideaway for a catnap until the excitement settles.I’m not a fan of dogs, but we’re both total sweethearts with cats of all personalities! We’re also perfect little ladies with our litter box.We will be ready for our forever home November 6th!Two adorable girls, double the fun, endless entertainment, and a whole lot of love!

4. Minxy

Adult · Male · Sphynx (hairless cat) / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Minneapolis

About MeMinxy and Mochi are a brother and sister bonded pair seeking a purrrsonal assistant. This role is dynamic, requiring the human to have warm hands for head scritches and the ability to rapidly open cans of food. They both love to try new snacks (will steal your food) and meet new people (will steal your spouse, all your friends, and even your parasocial internet relationships). Mochi announces her entry into every room. In your role as purrrsonal assistant, you will say “So sayeth the Queen!” She is a chatterbox. Minxy is the Queen’s brother. He is NOT the king, he is NOT the prince, he is NOT in charge.

Read more about Minxy

He’s a quiet guy who likes snuggles and head boops.Both are very confident and adaptive. They do many of the typical Sphynx cat behaviors like ask for blanket forts, play in water, and fully take over all human personal space. Bonus Sphynx shenanigans: Minxy knows how to turn on sinks, Mochi knows how to use the human toilet. Ideal home: Breed experience strongly preferred. Minxy has “elf” style ears that require additional cleaning.Ideal home can enforce health and safety rules around human food vs cat food. They are both unabashed human food snatchers with raccoon energy. Balance the higher metabolic needs of the breed with their unhinged bacchanalian palates. They are complete menaces in the kitchen. They have lived with dogs. Fostered with other cats. They get along with everyone they meet. They like children. They are totally comfortable with a busy household with a lot of people coming in and out. Mochi believes every visitor has come to bow before Her Majesty. Minxy hopes every newcomer is DoorDash.

9. Zinnia / Oaklynn

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 7 mi from Minneapolis

I’m Oaklynn, a bold, bubbly, curious little sweetheart (just over 3 months old) with a big personality and an even bigger love for humans. I adore cozy cuddles, gentle pets, after I get my energy out chasing those irresistible lasers, and racing around with my partner-in-crime, Zinnia (4 months old)!My bestie, Zinnia, is a softer, more timid little soul. She didn’t get much human interaction when she was tiny, so she needs extra time to feel safe and secure. But trust me, watching her confidence grow is pure magic! My foster parents say every bit of patience (and every delicious Churu treat!) has been worth it.

Read more about Zinnia / Oaklynn

With a gentle heart and time, she’ll learn to love you in her own special way. And don’t worry, I’ll be right here to keep you company with plenty of purrs, snuggles, and goofy kitten shenanigans until she’s fully comfortable enough to join us!For our happiest-ever start, we’d do best in a home without young, energetic kiddos in the beginning. Once Zinnia settles in and feels safe, additions to the family down the road should be no problem! Our foster family’s grandkids come by regularly, and Zinnia simply finds a quiet, comfy spot to snooze then emerges immediately when things are calm.Dogs aren’t really my cup of tea, but we both get along with cats of all personalities! We’re also excellent little ladies about using our litter box.We will be ready to go to our forever homes after November 6th!If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving cuddlebug and a sweet, shy companion whose trust will be a special gift to earn, we might just be your perfect pair!

10. Clive

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 7 mi from Minneapolis

Clive is an active, busy 3-month-old kitten, looking for his forever home!This guy is an adorable boy with cow-coloring, just your typical mischievous kitten! He will keep you on your toes as he’s always trying to see what he can get away with. Of course, he also loves a good play session and is quite the adventurer, always getting into things.Clive lives in a home with an adult human who works from home, his fellow foster kitten, Arthur, and one adult cat. They have their own space downstairs but spend the day upstairs hanging out with the rest of the family. Clive is busy with all of his mountain ascents.

Read more about Clive

His new home will need at least one cat tree and multiple scratchers for enrichment and entertainment. Because he has never met a peak (or large object) that he hasn’t wanted to dramatically climb, Clive should probably not be in a home with expensive leather furniture!This guy is friendly and outgoing. He does well with other cats (he’d love an equally busy, active, feline friend), and would probably do great with relaxed, cat-savvy dogs and children, given slow introductions. Active people who work from home or are around a lot would also be perfect for this little adventure man.If you’re looking to add some love and fun to your home this fall, Clive can’t wait to meet you!— — —All cats have received comprehensive veterinary care and tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV unless otherwise stated.

11. Bernie

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 7 mi from Minneapolis

Bernie is a 3.5-month-old tenderhearted soul who snores like a tiny freight train.This little guy started out as a hesitant resident! Cautious but curious, he’d hang back and let his siblings explore before making his way into the fray when he felt safe and comfortable. He has since outgrown his trepidation and is now as wily and rambunctious as the rest of the crew.Bernie has serious FOMO and wants to join the fun when he's sure it's safe. When he’s not busy wrestling or chasing a toy, he certainly has a lot to say. And when he opens his mouth to tell you something, his surprisingly old-man meow makes it sound as though he's about to complain about the price of pudding.Bernie currently lives with his two adult foster humans and his siblings (Anita, Gertrude, Milton, Stanley, and Stewart), who give him familiar companionship and opportunities to play and build confidence.Pet Haven requires that Bernie go home with one of his adorable siblings, or into a home with a friendly, active young cat who can be his playmate.

Read more about Bernie

A patient, caring home, that lets him settle in gradually, and warm up at his own pace, will help him feel secure and blossom into an incredible companion. Bernie may need a little time in the beginning, but his soft heart and unmistakable voice make him a very special little guy who will quickly become a fan favorite!-----There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

16. Augie / Malachai

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 7 mi from Minneapolis

Augie and Malachai, a sweet, bonded, 5-year-old pair, are going to be the fun and warm part of the cold winter days that are fast approaching! Augie will be your personal heating pad, keeping you cozy on both your shoulders and your lap.This guy is a lover; he will take hours of naps with you. However, when he is rested, he will find interesting and high-up places from which to survey his kingdom. Malachai is the lazy one, who takes life as it comes. He prefers to relax on the floor and invite you to rub his tummy. These two are independent most of the time, but also groom each other.Both Augie and Malachai have a brief period of zoomies each day.

Read more about Augie / Malachai

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. We are out of the house for 6 hours at a stretch, a few times a week, and the cats have been okay with that. Augie and Malachai have been super about using the litter box(es).Augie and Malachai will be very adaptable to people of all ages, young and old. They are on a special diet for kidney health and are eating both wet and dry cat food, so their care is extremely simple. Their forever people should be committed to continuing with their renal food, so they can live their happiest and healthiest lives.Ready for double the fun this fall? Augie and Malachai can’t wait to meet you!There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.

17. Rikki

Adult · Female · Domestic Long Hair / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 20 mi from Minneapolis

About MeMeet Rikki, a sweet and outgoing kitty who’s ready to find her forever home! Rikki is the ultimate companion—she’ll greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, and keep a curious eye on whatever you’re up to. She loves to explore, play with wand toys and mice, and scratch away on her post. When it’s time to relax, you’ll find her perched in her cat tree gazing out the window or snuggled up for some quality cuddle time.Rikki is a social kitty who prefers not to be left alone for long stretches of time. She loves people and would do well in a home that can provide her plenty of play time, social interaction, and affection.

Read more about Rikki

She’s done well with young children but can get excited around people and sometimes needs a bit of redirection to a toy or scratching post to prevent little play bites or grabs. Slow introductions to other pets is recommended as she may take some time to warm up to them.And as if Rikki weren't already special enough, she has a naturally curly, ring-shaped tail! It's a rare trait sometimes called a ringtail, and while she can straighten it when she stretches, she usually carries it in an adorable little curl.One little thing to know about Rikki is that she's FIV-positive (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but don't let that scare you! FIV-positive cats can live long, happy, healthy lives with good nutrition, routine veterinary care, and an indoor lifestyle. FIV is not contagious to people or dogs, and it's primarily transmitted between cats through deep bite wounds—not through everyday activities like sharing food bowls, grooming, or snuggling together. That means FIV-positive cats can often live safely with FIV-negative cats in peaceful, compatible households.Rikki has so much love, personality, and companionship to offer, and her FIV status doesn't change any of that. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow, an enthusiastic playmate, and a snuggly companion, Rikki would love to meet you! ----------WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED?

23. Mochi

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Minneapolis

About Me Meet Mochi, a playful black kitten with a curious spirit and a knack for making you smile. Mochi’s favorite spot is his window hammock, where he’ll watch the world go by—or the TV—while keeping you company from a comfortable distance. He’s an “aloof admirer,” preferring his space but always nearby, ready to greet you at the door or curl up for a nap if you let him.Mochi loves his food and isn’t shy about letting you know when it’s mealtime—expect adorable meows and gentle leg rubs. He’s a fan of fuzzy balls and will even play fetch, bringing them back for another round. Cardboard boxes, paper bags, and matchbox cars are all fair game for his bursts of kitten energy, and he’ll zoom up the back of the couch to his hammock when the mood strikes.He’s litter box and scratching post trained, and while he hasn’t met other cats or dogs yet, he’s been comfortable around new people and gets along well with a lively 10-year-old.

Read more about Mochi

Mochi’s past as a stray means he’s extra curious about the outdoors, often sitting by the screen door to watch what’s happening outside.Mochi is currently in a “play biting” phase—he sometimes nibbles when he wants to play, but this seems to be a kitten stage and hasn’t been an issue with others in the family. He’s not a fan of car rides or vacuums, but he’ll happily chase a broom if you’re sweeping.If you’re looking for a fun, independent companion who’ll keep you entertained and always be close by, Mochi might be your perfect match.

Sweetie might need some time to warm up to her new home, but once she’s comfortable she blossoms into her true personality and is a loveable, devoted sweetheart!

Adopting a cat with children in Minneapolis

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
