Joan
3 years old
Female
Joan is a beautiful 3-year-old torbie girl with an independent nature and very clear priorities in life: breakfast, sunshine, warm naps, and a calm home to enjoy them in.
She is not a needy cat and would be quite happy with people who work during the day, as long as she is fed before they leave and has a cosy spot to spend her time sun chasing. Joan enjoys having people around, but she is more of a companion cat than a lap cat.
She would suit a home looking for a calm, low-maintenance friend who is happy to share space, keep you company, and live life on her own terms.
Millie
Female
Jan 2026
I am a black-and-white female kitten who was found living under someone’s deck. I started life as a feral little girl, so people, cuddles, and all that touching business are still a bit strange to me.
What I do understand very well is food, toys, and playing with other kittens. I am curious, clever, and improving every day. I am slowly learning that people can be kind, gentle, and safe.
When I first move into my new home, I will need a small, quiet space to anchor myself to. A cosy room with my bed, food, litter tray, toys, and hiding places will help me feel secure while I learn the new sounds, smells, and people around me.
Once I know I have a safe place to return to, my confidence can begin to grow. I may be shy at first, but with patience, gentle handling, and time to settle at my own pace, I have all the makings of a wonderful, playful little companion.
I just need someone who can see the brave kitten hiding underneath and give me the safe beginning I need to blossom.
Cleo
August 2025
Female
Cleo is a tabby and white girl, born in August 2025. She has a pretty white tip on her tail and a quiet, cautious nature.
Cleo is shy and evasive with people, so she will need a very patient home that understands she may take a long time to settle and may never become a cuddly lap cat. She is best suited to someone who is happy to let her come around in her own time, without pressure or expectation.
Because Cleo prefers to keep her distance from people, she may be better suited to a safe barn, lifestyle, or semi-social home where she has shelter, regular food, and care, while still being allowed the space and independence she needs.
Cleo is looking for a special home that understands not every cat wants to be handled, but every cat still deserves safety, kindness, and a place to belong.
Hiss has a home
Nov 2025
Female
Hiss is a black female kitten, born in November 2025, with a strong sense of personal boundaries and a very clear idea of how life should run.
Despite her name, Hiss is not aggressive — she simply does not want to be touched or handled. She is a professional little freeloader who would like food, toys, warm sleeping spots, and a household to quietly judge from a safe distance.
She will happily play with you and enjoys toys, but affection needs to be on her terms — which may mostly mean no touching, thank you very much. Hiss is also very likely to supervise and judge your dinner service, especially if it is late or not up to standard.
Hiss is best suited as an indoor-only cat, as she does not have outdoor smarts. She would suit a patient home that understands some cats are companions in their own unique way, even if they are not cuddly.
Silvie —
March 2026
Female
Naughty, Nice and Absolutely Not for Children
I came to Kitty Haven as a wild little kitten after being found in someone’s yard. I was hand-raised and bottle-fed, which meant I missed out on many of the boundaries, manners and consequences kittens usually learn from their mum and siblings.
I am now a confident, independent girl with a huge personality, strong opinions and a whole pile of attitude. Some days, I wake up and choose violence.
I absolutely love to play and can happily spend all day entertaining myself, the other animals and anyone brave enough to join in. However, I am still learning when enough is enough. I can become overexcited, use my teeth and claws, and launch surprise attacks when someone turns their back on me.
If you squeal, jump or react dramatically, I do not understand that I have hurt or frightened you. I take it as an invitation to continue the game and see how many times I can do it again before being removed from the situation.
I enjoy being near my people and involved in whatever is happening, but I am not a cuddly lap cat unless it is entirely on my terms. I am very much my own little person and may make my displeasure known when I do not get my own way.
When I am in the right mood, I also have a beautiful sweet side. I have a huge, almost decibel breaking purr, enjoy a good chin scratch and will lean right into your hand when I want more affection.
Silvie must be adopted into an adult-only home.
Silvie requires a confident, experienced and patient adult or older teens home. Her family must be comfortable managing play aggression, providing plenty of appropriate enrichment and setting calm, consistent boundaries without encouraging rough play.
This means no babies, toddlers or young children living in the home. She is also not suitable for a household where children regularly visit or stay. Her biting, ambushing and use of claws are not occasional kitten accidents—they are established behaviours that could seriously frighten or injure a child.
This requirement is not negotiable. Silvie needs adults who understand exactly what they are taking on and will appreciate her for the spirited, entertaining and highly opinionated little cat she is. We do not know if this will improve in time.
Silvie will make you laugh, keep everyone entertained, play all day and then happily head off to do her own thing.
She is a long-haired cat, so do not be fooled by her current kitten coat. As she matures, she will develop a much longer adult coat and will need regular grooming.
Silvie is naughty, nice and completely unforgettable—but she needs the right adult home to truly thrive.
June
She is a shy, sensitive soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and gentle place. Because of this, she will need a home that understands patience, quiet routines, and slow, steady progress.
She is not an “instant lap cat,” but she will be a deeply rewarding companion for the right person. With time, consistency, and calm handling, her personality will continue to unfold — and watching her grow in confidence is something truly special.
She will thrive in a home that offers patience, routine, and understanding. If you believe love is something built slowly and gently, June may be the perfect companion for you.
