The Animal Haven
The Animal Haven is a No Kill, Not for profit Animal shelter run by a board of directors all of whom are volunteers. Our Shelter staff are the greatest animal Welfare workers in the area. Visit us today!!!
The Animal Haven has a positive public image in Greater New Haven. There are 1765 members from over 75-CT towns and about 100 members live out of state. The Animal Haven receives no income from town or government sources. All funding comes from private contributions, entry and adoption fees and fund-raisers. Our kind and humane reputation is truly reflected by the community’s continued financial support. For 60 years, the community has literally kept our doors open. The actual percentage of administrative and fund-raising expense for the last three years was less than 1%. No other local shelter has such a distinguished reputation in the area.

Meet Butterfinger 🍫! Butterfinger is a beautiful Marbled Tabby neutered male and approximately 3 years old. He came to us around Halloween & is the absolute sweetest boy 🥰😻! He loves to cuddle on top of the counters and cat trees. He tolerates other cats as long as they are on the mellow side. Although he has a grumpy looking face, he would love a furever home so he could get pets and belly rubs all day long 🙌🏻

Meet Chipmunk 🐿 He might be lacking a tail but he certainly isn’t lacking personality! This 1-2 year old boy is healed, sweet as can be and ready for his forever home!! Someone most likely dumped him and left him to fend for himself. His tail became necrotic and needed to be amputated but he is healed now. Someone else’s loss, was our gain❤️❤️ If you are interested in adopting Chipmunk, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.theanimalhavenct.org 🐾

Meet Nova! Nova is the cutest little lab mix that is estimated to be around 2 years old. She is such a sweet girl that loves women and children; however, she is scared of men and we are unsure of what happened with her previous male owner to make her afraid. We are working on overcoming that fear with her and she is starting to make some progress! Nova would do best as the only animal in the home. Nova loves to go on walks and would even be content running around in a fenced in yard where she can play an endless game of fetch. Nova is so sweet and loves to give kisses and cuddles. We would love to find the perfect home for her that will continue to work with her and give her a loving home.
If you are interested in adopting Nova, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.TheAnimalHavenCT.org or contact us for more information 🐾

Muppet is still up for adoption! He is a little over 2 years old and was found as a stray. Muppet enjoys the company of other cats and is very playful! He has big paws with extra toesies! He loves to play with toy mice and strings attached to sticks. He is very shy at first and will take time to come around to people. He would do best in a home with other cats to hangout with and someone who will give him time and extra love to get used to them. If you are interested in adopting Muppet, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.TheAnimalHavenCT.org 🐾

Meet Cranberry! She is estimated to be around 2 years old. Cranberry is a beautiful medium hair Calico who was rescued from a hoarding case. Cranberry can be shy, but sweet and comes around when she trusts you. She has been adopted out twice and returned due to "scratching and ruining furniture and rugs." We believe that she may need to go home with another cat or be fostered to a patient person who is willing to see how destructive her behavior truly is. She may just need a person who is patient and willing to work on her anxiety which we believe is due to her past and possibly not having another cat in the home.
If you are interested in adopting Cranberry, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.TheAnimalHavenCT.org 🐾

Meet Willow! This cutie pie is estimated to be around 1 years old and was rescued from a hoarding situation. Willow is very friendly and such a sweet cat. She loves to be pet and loves to lounge in the sun and play! Willow would do good in a house with children, and does like the cats that she previously lived with, but can be selective about the other cats she likes. Willow would be a great addition to your family!
If you are interested in adopting Willow, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.TheAnimalHavenCT.org 🐾

Meet Cadbury! Cadbury is a cute playful girl who was rescued as a stray. She will rub up on your legs when she wants attention. Cadbury mainly likes to lay on her bed and sunbathe, but also loves to play with toys and her kitty friends! Cadbury would do best in a home with another cat to hangout with and would do better with older children. Cadbury loves to be pet on the head and will let you know when she has had enough pets. She's a very laid back young cat that would love to go to a loving laid back home!
If you are interested in adopting Cadbury, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.TheAnimalHavenCT.org 🐾

Meet Donatello! He is estimated to be around 8 months old and was rescued as a stray with his other ninja turtle brothers. Donatello will come off as a little shy at first, but once he warms up to you he will want all of your love and attention! He loves to be pet and will even come sit on your lap once he is comfortable enough with you. He is very playful with a funny personality and has the cutest little mustache! Donatello likes to be around other kitties so he would do good in a home with or without them.
If you are interested in adopting Donatello, please fill out a cat adoption application on our website: www.TheAnimalHavenCT.org

This sweet mama came to us from Bridgeport. She was very skinny and trying to maintain her strength to feed her babies. She seems very happy that she is safe with constant food to eat and making muffins on her comfy blankets! She couldn’t be sweeter and her babies couldn’t be any cuter. 🐱 Kitten season is here (and has been)! These babies won’t be up for adoption until they are 12 weeks of age but we do have others who are adoptable! So please fill out an application on our website www.theanimalhavenct.org if you are interested in adopting 🐾 and send it back to michelle@theanimalhavenct.org
