MJ's Story

Greetings, friends and future loyal subjects!<br/><br/>My name is MJ, and I’m a magnanimous, snuggly, and slightly chunky gentleman with a generous spirit and some very reasonable boundaries. I’m a 10-year-old tuxedo gentleman with dreamy eyes and the unmistakable vibe of a cat who knows exactly what he wants and when he wants it.<br/><br/>I came from an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, but I’m ready to settle down somewhere cozy where I can reign with grace (and maybe a little cattitude). I’ve been around some large mellow dogs in the past, but I would prefer a home without any feline or canine companions.<br/><br/>Yes, I am luxuriously plump (thank you for noticing); I’ve gotten started on a weight-loss journey with the help of my foster team. I’ll need continued support with healthy meals, gentle movement, fun playtime, and a comfy environment.<br/><br/>I am front declawed and should only be kept indoors away from danger; as I lack the natural defence I was born with. I may be a little chonk, but I am quite nimble, <br/><br/>I love to jump up on windowsills to keep tabs on the neighborhood. I'm a tree dweller and prefer to sleep in a higher comfy spot like a nice chair or an elevated comfy bed.<br/><br/>While I may have a few opinions (and I’ll share them, thank you very much), I can snuggle in your lap once I feel safe and loved. I have boundaries around petting and lap time, I want to be able to initiate and provide consent.<br/><br/>I need a home that can understand I will need space for quiet companionship, respecting my signals, and timelines. I’m not shy about letting you know when I need a little personal space. (Royalty has boundaries, after all.) <br/><br/>I have been known to nip (hence the snazzy bandana) to disclose my feelings, so I will go home with some instructions on how to manage it in a positive way.<br/><br/>At ten years young, I am still incredibly playful, extremely agile, I and love wand feather toys and short sessions of laser pointer (that  helps me work on my beach bod)!<br/><br/>I am looking for a mature and understanding home, possibly with older children and no other pets.<br/><br/>I am about 10 years young, and my adoption fee is $60, which includes my neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a complimentary well-kitty checkup to start our lives together on the right paw.<br/><br/>I also come with an extra large fabulous new carrier (fully machine washable) that a kind fan sponsored! I can sometimes be found lounging in it, ready for the right family to come along.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a confident, magnanimous cat with a heart as big as my belly, I might just be your perfect match. Your lap could be royal real estate—don’t miss your chance to share it with me!<br/><br/>You can tap here to fill out an Adoption Application: https://happycatshaven.org/adoption-application/ and someone should get back to you during our adoption hours Wednesday – Sunday by 5 pm to set up a visit. If you need to contact someone more quickly, please call 719-362-4600 and we’ll do our best to get back to you within 48 hours. I can't wait to 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 or kitten 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.
