MJ's Story

Greetings, friends!<br/><br/>My name is MJ, and I’m a handsome tuxedo gentleman with a big heart, a big personality, and, yes, a little extra fluff around the middle. At 10 years young, I’ve mastered the art of being exactly where the action is while still maintaining my dignity.<br/><br/>I’m not what you would call a snuggle bunny. Instead, I’m a true Kitty Admin. I like to supervise household activities, keep tabs on my people, and make sure everything is running smoothly. If you’re cooking dinner, working on the computer, watching TV, or simply relaxing, chances are I’ll be nearby offering my expert guidance and companionship.<br/><br/>I am an affectionate and loyal cat who enjoys attention and petting, especially when I get to choose the timing. Once I trust you, I become deeply devoted to my people and love being involved in daily life. I’m happiest with someone who understands cats and appreciates that relationships are built on mutual respect.<br/><br/>I would love a bright, open home where I can explore, lounge in sunny windows, and perch up high to survey my kingdom. I’m front declawed, so I must remain safely indoors, but don’t let that fool you. I’m surprisingly agile for a big guy and still enjoy jumping onto windowsills, cat trees, chairs, and other elevated spots to keep an eye on things.<br/><br/>Like many confident cats, I have opinions and preferences. I communicate clearly when I’ve had enough attention, so I’m looking for an experienced cat person who understands feline body language and won’t feel the need to constantly pick me up or handle me. Give me the freedom to be a cat, and I’ll reward you with loyalty, companionship, and plenty of entertaining moments.<br/><br/>I’m also working on a healthy weight-loss journey and enjoy feather wand toys, laser-pointer games, and other activities that help me stay active while having fun.<br/><br/>My ideal home would be quiet and predictable, with no other pets and no young children. What I really want is someone who appreciates an independent companion and understands that not every wonderful cat needs to be a lap cat. Sometimes the best friendships are built side by side.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a charming, affectionate, larger-than-life feline who wants to be your loyal companion, household supervisor, and devoted best friend, I just might be the cat for you. I can’t wait to show you what a great guy I am.<br/><br/>Apply to meet me today. My kingdom has room for one more special person.<br/><br/>You can tap here to fill out an Adoption Application: https://<br/>happycatshaven.org/adoption-application/ and someone should<br/>get back to you during our adoption hours Wednesday –<br/>Sunday by 5 pm to set up a visit. If you need to contact<br/>someone more quickly, please call 719-362-4600 and we’ll do<br/>our best to get back to you within 48 hours. I/We can't wait to<br/>meet you!

Happy Cats Haven's Adoption Policy
You are always welcome to come meet our cats and kittens! Filling out an Adoption Application beforehand will save time. Our basic requirements are that all cats be kept inside, except when supervised or outside on a leash (we offer help with leash training!) or in an enclosed catio. We don't support declawing, which is actually amputating toes and can lead to far greater pain and issues than keeping their paws intact. We do support proper training for scratching, from kittens to adults, and will help you choose the equipment your cat likes best. We require a copy of the lease agreement that authorizes cats so that no one is heartbroken later if the cat is not allowed. Bringing that in when you come to meet the cats will also speed up the process. Over 55% of our adoptions go to family and friends, so we always offer our Buddy Discount to bonded pairs or kittens, with the second one at half off. Kittens thrive when they go home with a sibling, so we give preference to pair (or triplet or quadruplet!) adoptions. We also recommend kittens of at least 4 months to families with children under 5, for the safety of the children as well as the kitten. With an approved application, a cat can be held up to 48 hours with a $50 deposit (sometimes longer in special cases). This deposit isn't refundable but is transferable to another cat if needed.
