Haven is a small, female baby cat, altered and ready for her new home in Venice, FL. She enjoys her independence and is known for her unique personality. This playful girl is all about finding a companion dog and thriving in a house that understands feline individuality.

About Haven

Haven is eager to find her kind of family—especially if they have a dog! Recently returned after a previous adoption didn’t quite fit, we discovered that she thrives around canine companions. In her last home, she favored the family dog over the humans, so now she's searching for a pet-friendly environment. If you dream of a lap cat who craves attention every moment, Haven might not be your match. She’s independent and enjoys showing affection on her own terms. This means she won’t want constant cuddling and prefers to develop a bond at her own pace. While she does enjoy human company, having a friendly, cat-savvy dog to share her space will be an ideal fit. Haven wants to be the sole cat in her household. She’s quite content as a single 'cat lady' and has no desire to share her turf with another feline. If you have a dog who has been longing for a feline friend and you understand the quirks of independent cats, Haven could be the perfect addition to your family. Her unique needs might not suit everyone, but could they be exactly what you're looking for?
