Our sweet senior gal, Patches, is doing well in her new home! 😻 We're so happy that she has a forever family to love and care for her! 😽
We already have a wonderful update from Penny's new family - after just 24 hours! This makes our hearts happy! 😽❤️
"Within the first two hours of being at the house she came out, was being super friendly and explorative. She’s been an absolute joy to live with and she’s such a good cat!"
Gentle Sid Playing
SID (DOB 6/1/12) sure has a lot of spunk for an “old” guy! He likes to “hunt” mice and fish on YouTube, climb pillow mountains, and contemplate shadow puppets. When it’s time to play, SID will get his foster mom’s attention, then gallop away at high speed with his tail in the air for a game of hide-and-seek. He also LOVES chasing stringy toys -- he’ll chase a rainbow whip toy around-and-around the house. But shoe laces are the most fun. His foster family isn’t sure if he’s really following them around the house or if he’s just going after their shoe laces!
SID likes to meet new people and hang out with his human companions. He’s not much of a snuggler, but he does like to be near and sleep with his buddies. When it’s time to relax, he loves head rubs and cheek scratches. SID also enjoys traveling by car, when he can look out the window, which engages his curious nature.
SID would do well in a moderately active home. New environments make him anxious, likely because he is deaf and changes and sudden movements may startle him. He would need a family that would allow him time to adjust. Once he does, he’d be a great companion.
A home with older children and other cats would be fine as long as they are properly introduced. SID has not been observed interacting with dogs, so it’s unknown how he’d react to them.
If you’d like to meet SID please call Humane Haven Animal Shelter (630-378-4208) for more information or for an appointment. All Humane Haven cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, FeLV/FIV tested, and have had their distemper and rabies vaccines.

KYLE (DOB 10/21/14) is such a good boy. He’s gentle & quiet, and he enjoys lap time for pets and some combing. KYLE is not at all fussy – he pretty much goes with the flow, as long as it’s a quiet flow. His favorite toys are a clothesline with knots, a rainbow whip, and a variety of mice. KYLE introduces himself to strangers by rubbing his cheek on their hands, and he’ll often plop himself down “asking” for a belly rub.
KYLE is a nice, gentle soul that deserves a family that will provide a calm environment where it could give and get affection. He has lived with other cats, and they had gotten along well. He’d likely be fine with older children as long as they respect KYLE’s need for space and quite time. A home with a dog would not be recommended.

Sweet Caroline's Kittens Playing
Black kitten - "Don't mind me resting here...you guys have fun playing..." 😸😺😻
Donation from Meijer Bolingbrook
HHAS was thrilled to accept a $5,000 donation from the Meijer store in Bolingbrook this morning! 😊 The store director and many others were thrilled to see Crystal’s kittens, who also came for the event. They were happy to be there (except during the clapping). 😉 You'll see some pictures and a couple videos here.
With so many non-profits in the area that they could choose from, they chose Humane Haven!
THANK YOU Meijer!
Cat Adoption - Update on Butterball
Another update on Pogo (fka Butterball)! We are SO happy to hear this and know he's living his best - and funniest - life! ❤️
He has definitely made himself at home. He is always around, no matter where we are in the house, he’s there with you! He loves people so much and anyone who meets him falls in love and wants to steal him from me! He’s comfortable around the dogs now, even sitting next to them and sleeping by them! He has turned into quite a busy boy, especially at night.
Recently we discovered a new thing he loves to do… For a bit we couldn’t figure out why our dogs water bowl was always a mess lately. Come to realize it’s Pogo! He has been playing in the water bowl! It is the goofiest thing we’ve ever seen from a cat! 😹
Long story short, we are so in love with this little guy and his huge personality that has finally shown through. He still sleeps with me every night and we have grown such a beautiful bond! Thank you for the silliest, goofiest cat! 😽😺
Sam the cat is looking for his forever home
SAM (DOB 6/7/20) is such a nice, confident, and entertaining guy. It’ll be a very lucky family that scoops him up! SAM is super friendly – he just wants to meet everyone and say “hello” by rubbing on legs and “asking” for pets and attention. Besides communicating by rubbing on his people companions, he is quite vocal telling his caretakers all about his day. SAM is still young, so he loves to play, especially with stringy toys and sparkly balls; but he really isn’t picky – he just wants to be with you!
SAM would be happiest in an active home and as the only adult male cat. He does well with female cats, and he was great with male & female kittens when they shared a home. He’d probably love a dog to play with. His fun-loving attitude would make him an ideal pet for children, too.
If you’d like to meet SAM, please call Humane Haven Animal Shelter (630-378-4208) for more information or for an appointment. All Humane Haven cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, FeLV/FIV tested, and have had their distemper and rabies vaccines.

Kittens!
Sometimes our temp house mom, who is caring for Mandy's kittens, becomes part of the jungle gym for these active little kittens!
They are such a sweet and fun litter of kittens - affectionate, energetic, and silly. Just loads of fun to watch and play with!
We have an adoption event happening December 10th and 11th at the Petsmart in Bolingbrook from noon - 3 pm - and these kittens will be there! Come out to meet them and the other cats/kittens who want to find their forever homes.

Kittens!!
Just a quick video to show you a picture of the 8-week-old kittens we are caring for! There are 3 boys and 3 girls - as you can see, all healthy, playful and having fun! They are NOT ready for adoption yet, but we'll let you know when the time comes. 😺
Humane Haven Garage Sale is open NOW!!!
These are Calliope's kittens! They are NOT available for adoption yet because they are so young. We will post again in the future when they can be adopted. We simply wanted to give you a sneak peek at the brood! They are SO adorable! 😽😺
BUTTERBALL (DOB 10/6/19) is a calm and VERY sweet boy who loves attention and kittens. Around Thanksgiving, he was hit by a car, which broke his hip resulting in nerve damage to and amputation of his right rear leg. BUTTERBALL is doing great adjusting to life on three legs! With time, experience, and the appropriate environment, BUTTERBALL will continue to adapt.
The best environment for him would be a home with carpeted/rugged rooms, which would make it easier for him to walk around. In addition, he would benefit from ramps or stairs to help him get to sofas, etc. Weight watching is a must, since excess weight could make it harder for him to be mobile on three legs.
He’d likely do best in a quiet-to-moderately active home. BUTTERBALL shares his temp home with kittens, who he likes to nuzzle and play with their paws. Other pets would be okay as long as they are not too energetic.
If you’d like to meet BUTTERBALL, please call Humane Haven Animal Shelter (630-378-4208) for more information or for an appointment. All Humane Haven cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, FeLV/FIV tested, and have had their distemper and rabies vaccines.
