Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
Cats Haven is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing many services for our feline friends. It is a no-kill shelter for cats and kittens who are in transition and need a home of their own. It is also a non-institutional shelter so as a rule, cats are not kept in cages. Cats Haven is a hospice for cats whose injuries need attention before they can be adopted, and a final home for cats who have outlived their owners and are in their golden years themselves.
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
IMPORTANT: This form is only for public comments about the shelter. To contact Cats Haven, please go directly to their website (link on previous page), this form will not send your comment to them.
I have called perhaps thirty places just today for help and I know this is such a common please but I have to post this. I am almost 70 along with my husband and we are new to Richmond. Two weeks ago I notiiced a very young tabby girl with a chewed up and missing tail on my back porch eating a slie of stale bread I threw out for the birds. KNowing she was desperate I went out and bough wet food and sat it out for her- she ate two fulls cans. On Sunday night after Mothers Day a son found her huddled against the shrubs in back of our home with three wee kittens. This cat needs medical attention and they all four need someone to take them in the name of God as human beings who care for animals. I am in tears as I write this sicne nobody will help us. I dont know what to do so I posted here. If you can offer any help for this little family please message me at [email protected]
INDIANA CAT LOVERS PLEASE HELP!!!
We desperately begging anyone associated with this human society to take five minutes to snap a picture and help us determine if our beloved Tom is at the Hamilton Humane Society.
We are over seven hours away in Tennessee but may have had a neighbor travel to Fairmont Indiana around the time Tom disappeared. Tom could have been unknowingly in the car as he is extremely friendly and actually enjoys car rides.
We now believe our cat Tom was found in Fishers then surrendered to them at the end of November. I saw a shared post from Paw Boost and the similarities are too great to ignore. PawBoost post and pictures in comments.
I spoke with someone at the humane society this morning but was told because Tom is not micro chipped we would have to come in to identify him. At the time was not willing to walk through their cat rooms to see if it was the same cat. (Tom is not micro chipped because he originally came from our county’s feral cat program that does not microchip upon releasing) He does have a tipped left ear, as does the cat in the PawBoost post.
PLEASE, help us!
I know this sounds completely crazy but we’ve lived this kitty over 13 years.
**Tom is a neutered male with gorgeous green us. He is missing few teeth due to his age and probably on the thin side now as he eats 3-4 portions of canned food daily. He has a chipped canine tooth and is extremely friendly. He is amazing with the children, not afraid of dogs, and is loved by all that meet him.
We ready willing to drive 700 hrs away, if someone could give us the smallest hope it was really him. At this point we would be so appreciative of any suggestions or leads to help bring our boy home.
Thank you.
Did anyone help you? I live in Carmel Indiana and will go look. I see this post is a bit old though... let me know if you still need someone to go look

I have three short-haired domestic cats. They 3 years old. They are incredibly loving and social and very responsive. They love to be pet and will regularly meow at you to pet them. They spend most times indoors, however, if they do get out, they always have come back. Each has their own sweet, distinctive personality, but all three love to be loved on. They are also litter mates. Cat carriers will come with them and two nice scratching posts as well, if wanted. Everything would be free.
I have an older neutered front-declawed male cate. Black and beautiful, sweet disposition but shy. I need to rehome him. He would do well in a quiet home, no children, maybe with an older person who needs a companion. Contact me at [email protected]. Thanks!
