Macie DESPERATELY Needs Home as the ONLY Pet


Macie is a beautiful long-haired female who needs a forever home. She is super affectionate and loves to be with people. She would be best for a college student looking for that one special pet or an older person who wants a companion. Macie does NOT get along with other animals. She needs to be the ONLY pet. Because of this, we must keep Macie isolated from the other cats in our rescue--this is NOT the ideal situation for her. She deserves to be in a home setting where she can flourish.

Macie has been spayed, vaccinated, treated with Advantage and dewormed. She is FIV/FeLV negative. If you are looking for a sweet kitty to spoil and love, then she is your girl!

There is NO adoption fee, but I will be asking questions to anyone interested in her because I want to find her the best home. Please call or text 830-5655 or email us at havenhousecats @aol .com

Please consider adopting or fostering Macie so she can have the freedom of really living like she deserves.

What's New at Haven House

It's been a busy week here at Haven House Cats. We have new kitties and dogs in our care, a pregnant mama cat who may not be pregnant after all (we think the vet was wrong!), and two of our kitties are very ill. Here's what the week has looked like:

Last weekend, we picked up three kittens from a woman in Dunkirk who has a colony of feral cats living in her yard, and we set a trap to catch the other three but so far she has had no luck. She keeps catching the adults (of course!) but refuses to get them fixed so the colony is going to continue to grow. Unfortunately, as a rescue in Cheektowaga, we can only do so much. She lives an hour away from us so it would be impossible to go out and trap, neuter and release them all on our own.

On Monday, Mischa, a super sweet torti mama cat, and her 4 babies arrived! Mischa was very friendly and the woman who found her as a stray took her to the vet for an examination. The vet said she was pregnant and due in about 10-15 days. If this had been correct, there was no way the 5 week old kittens she was mothering could possibly be her own! It's been a week and Mischa is thinning out now. She is lactating and we placed her kittens in foster care because we thought she was pregnant again! We will hopefully be reuniting them early this week. Poor Mischa is in pain; she needs her kittens to nurse. I feel awful for separating them but it was what the vet had suggested. I know she misses her babies. When the woman who surrendered her returned home to Rochester, she found two more of Mischa's kittens on the porch. Thankfully, she is going to foster them and has already found good homes for them once they are fixed. Mischa's other kittens, Milo, Twilight, Snickers and Twixie, are in foster care with a wonderful family that is helping to socialize them.

Tuesday was a day of picking up donations of much needed food, litter and supplies.

Wednesday brought us two new 5 year old female kitties, Bindi and Smudge. Bindi is a beautiful longhaired brown and white female who simply loves to love. She gives little love bites when she wants attention and is so affectionate. Smudge is mostly white with black-spots, like a cow! She has a very unique look and is also very sweet, like her sister. Both cats were living outside at a home that was no longer inhabited. The owner had decided to sell the home and wanted to find somewhere for these girls to go rather than have them euthanized. Thank goodness he found Haven House, because these female kitties certainly deserve a second chance at a forever home. Both girls are fixed and vaccinated and are awaiting forever homes. If interested in either of these beauties, please contact us at havenhousecats@aol.com. Pictures coming soon.

Thursday brought an emergency vet visit for little Losson, a 10 week old kitten who was found in Losson Park with his sister and another deceased sibling. Poor Losson has been vomiting in his foster home and has an eye infection. The vet suspected a foreign body in his stomach and recommended x-rays if the vomiting does not subside. We are trying to raise money to fund Losson's x-rays and treatment. If you would like to donate to help Losson, you can do so by clicking here http://havenhousecats.chipin.com/help-little-losson

Darla, a 2 year old calico with the sweetest personality, is also ill. We picked up a new antibiotic for her on Thursday. This is her third round of antibiotics for a chronic Upper Respiratory Infection. She hasn't improved at all and we are praying this round of medication will help her. If you would like to donate to Darla's medical fund, you can do so by clicking here: http://havenhousecats.chipin.com/sponsor-sweet-darla

And Saturday brought a new dog into our care. Buddy is a 10 year old dachshund whose owner could no longer keep him. She's had Buddy since he was 6 weeks old, so this is a very difficult adjustment for him. He was quite sad last night and didn't want any of the food I gave him. He turned his nose up to canned food, dry food, even chicken nuggets! Poor Buddy! We took him for a walk with our dachshund, Millie, and the two of them got along great. Buddy slept in bed with me last night curled up at my feet. When I woke this morning he was under the covers with his head peeking out. He seems to be doing a bit better this morning and hopefully he will adjust a little more each day.

Never a dull day in the life of an animal rescue!

Help Little Losson


Losson is a little 10 week old kitten who was found with his sister and another deceased sibling in Losson Park two weeks ago. He has been vomitting for the past week and cannot keep much food down. The vet thinks there may be a foreign body in his belly so x-rays are needed! His treatment plan is estimated to cost $450. Can you donate to Losson's ChipIn and help us afford his treatment? He is currently on antibiotics for an eye infection as well. Please help us help poor Little Losson!

Sweet Darla Needs Your Help

Darla is a sweet 2 year old calico at our rescue who has a heart murmur and chronic upper respiratory infection. We have been treating her for the past month and a half with no improvement. She is currently on her third round of antibiotics and we need your help to continue affording her care! Please consider sponsoring sweet Darla by donating to her ChipIn. Thanks!

Help Needed to Spay/Neuter New Kittens


Kitten season is upon us and we have 7 kittens and 2 adults who need to be spayed/neutered BEFORE being adopted. They must be fixed before we can find them forever homes because we want to eliminate the risk of any more unwanted litters. There are already so many kitties without homes, we don't need any more! Every dollar goes to the kitties.
