Meet Crema! Crema is an absolute sweetheart who will want to be your best companion! She talks to her foster mom all the time and follows her around everywhere. She sleeps in the bed with her at night too and will sleep on laps too (though the latter is on her terms). She's not shy about reminding mom when it's time for dinner too! Crema is living in a private foster home and can be met by appointment upon approval of an adoption application. https://www.purrfecthavencatrescue.org/adoption-form

Happy Mother’s Day from adoptable Ellie, mother of the kittens we introduced yesterday. She is an absolute sweetheart! And now that she has been spayed and her mothering days are over, she gets to just be the playful young cat she is and play with all the catnip toys!

KITTENS! Brown tabby Ekko and his sisters Ester (bottom left) and Effie (bottom right) are playful sweethearts ... and they're looking for their forever homes! These three aren't quite old enough for their neuter and spays just yet, but they are available on a foster-to-adopt basis if you live within an hour's drive of Dover and are willing to drive them back to Dover for their shots and surgery. If not adopted together, they must go to homes where they will have the companionship of other young and friendly cats. Our online adoption application and adoption policies can be found here -- https://www.purrfecthavencatrescue.org/adoption-form.

If not adopted together, Bruno and Blaze must go to homes where they'll have the companionship of another friendly young cat.

Right before Christmas we took in a beautiful fluffy baby kitten found in the road with a severe eye infection. We named her Zuzu and promised her we would do all we could to give her a wonderful life.

Today Zuzu is healthy, spayed and ready for adoption! She is a little purr machine and plays hard with her toys. She gets along with other cats and the dog in her foster home. She is interested in all the things. She does have limited vision, but can get around fine with a family who will help her adjust to new surroundings.

She is just purrfect and we can’t wait for her forever family to fall in love with this little one! Zuzu is living in a private foster home and can be met by appointment with an approved adoption application. https://www.purrfecthavencatrescue.org/adoption-form Zuzu must go a home where she'll have the companionship of another friendly young cat.

We're pleased to introduce brothers Bruno (black/white tuxedo) and Blaze (orange tabby), now ready for adoption! These two ~8-month-old kittens are energetic, affectionate and oh-so-sweet. They love to play, come when called, and cuddle up right under a person. They're big fans of scratches, brushing, toys they can chase and, of course, cat treats! If not adopted together, Bruno and Blaze must go to homes where they'll have the companionship of another friendly young cat. They are living in a private foster home and we can arrange meetings following approval of an adoption application: https://www.purrfecthavencatrescue.org/adoption-form
