Such a wonderfully peaceful place with so many cats and kittens waiting for their furrever families.The facility is kept impeccably clean, the people who work there couldn't be nicer, and the kitty residents are so sweet and well cared for.Please visit them, volunteer, and adopt, don't shop.

This place is amazing and beautiful. The owner and workers are very caring and loving. All they want is best for all the furbabies. Furbabies there are living their best life til they find their forever loving homes.

AMAZING!!! Not only are the cats placed in rooms with other similarly behaved and aged cats, but every room is like a cat's dream. The staff truly knows each cat like it's their own and are truly interested in finding the animals their perfect home. Even if you have to drive a little more to get there, it is worth it!!

This is a great place to volunteer! I've been out there a couple times and the staff is great and I'm smitten by the kittens.

***Update i think a year later. STILL the best rescue!!!!!!! And im still fostering for them!***I'm a foster for this wonderful rescue and I've got to say they are the most amazing kind hearted caring people. There rescue is absolutely beautiful. The cats love the Catios and all of them are so happy and healthy. Despite all the cats in their care the staff knows little details of each one that they would only know upon giving them one on one attention. They help those who Foster for them with food, litter and any supplies you may need you just have to ask. I've never been happier working with a rescue and so excited for where the future will take them!

The cats at Eden Animal Haven are extremely fortunate to be there. They are very well cared for in a clean, cage free environment. There are so many wonderful kitties it was hard to choose the two we would take home. We did choose and have been so happy with them. They were well socialized before we adopted them and have adjusted very well.Thanks Leslie and Bill for all you do at Eden Animal Haven.

We adopted (Lovey) Egypt yesterday and had a great experience. Their facility it so nice. And feels more like a home. My kitten has adjusted so quickly and I believe it's due to how she had been taken care of. I will recommend them to anyone who would like to adopt a cat or kitten. Thank you Leslie for everything you do! ✌️👍😻

My husband and I met up with Leslie at Eden Animal Haven to meet/possibly adopt a kitten. We had no idea that we would both end up bonding with separate kittens that day and end up going home with two! Everyone we met (human and animal) was super nice, the facility was very clean, and the cats were well kept/groomed. Leslie made the adoption process easy and walked us through everything. We actually had a lot of fun getting to know all the cats and kittens! We love our new babies and highly recommend checking Eden Animal Haven out to anyone who is interested in adopting/fostering/volunteering!

Its a 7 acre haven for cats kittens dogs. They have 5x10 rooms for cats and kittens. There are kitten trees toys . It is a beautiful tranquil haven. Lots of different species of birds. There are squirrels and Deer. They operate by donations from the public to keep it going. Leslie and her team are just wonderful people. Oh did i mention they are a no kill safe place

The whole experience was amazing! They were quick to respond to my emails. The process was straightforward and not tedious at all. The staff were great in the selection process, and all the animals were being well taken care of! Thank you Eden Animal Haven for helping me bring in a new member to my family! Annabelle is the perfect addition!

Amazing facility! I adopted my little girl Gracie at petsmart and got to take her home 5 days later because she was getting spayed. They kept in contact with me to keep me updated on her. The foster mom even sent me pictures of her. They go above and beyond. They really love all the animals. Thank you Eden Animal Haven!!

I had a customer come through my line who volunteered there regularly telling me about them. Shortly after I got to thinking that I wanted a cat so decided to contact them. Online I was looking at one but we got there we decided on another one. All the rooms and cats where clean and cared for. We adopted Gretchen yesterday and couldn't be happier with her. She seems to be met for us. She does so well with my almost three year old. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking to adopt or to donate to. They are strictly voluntary ran which makes it that much better.

These people have devoted huge parts of their lives to rescuing cats. The new shelter they are building for them is wonderful. The cats and kittens seem so happy and are clean and cared for. I was really impressed by how things are set up. I donte regularly to help fund supplies and make sure more cats can be saved.

Eden Animal Haven has such amazing people caring for the cats and cleanliness of their facility. I adopted from them as a first time cat owner and they were very helpful in teaching me the things I was not sure of with her.

I left a rating for this place a while back but never got around to the review it deserves, that changes now.I was introduced to this charming little place back in 2017 when a friend went to adopt a one eyed kitten named Wink. I met the couple who runs it and was thoroughly impressed with what they were doing, why they were doing it, and how passionate they were about their mission to provide a cage free and no kill safe space for the cats and kittens the world has abandoned. I met a long time resident named Halley, a senior cat with special needs who no one gave a second look at due to a drooling problem caused by a mouth disease and her advanced age. She was the sweetest cat I had ever met and I thought about her often but couldn't bring another cat home at the time. You would think that would be the end of that story but of course it's not.Eden posts about all of their cats online, whether it be a newcomer or an old one who has been there a while and it was Halley's turn to be shared online. Someone was kind enough to sponsor her adoption fees and that friend of mine who showed me Eden kind of put me on the spot to do something. I agreed to foster her to get her out of the shelter for a while and fell in love all over again when I went to pick her up. Eden paid for a vet visit over some concerns I had while fostering her and we all found out she had kidney disease, basically sealing the deal that I had to be the one to give this precious baby a home.She spent a few years in the shelter, getting all the love Leslie and the volunteers had to give but she needed a home and I was determined to give that to her. I already has one special needs senior cat (diabetes, thankfully in remission to this day after treatment and a diet change) so I figured I was adequately prepared to take on another one. I signed the adoption papers a week after picking her up to foster her.She was an older cat, the vet guessed 15 when I took her in for her first visit after adopting her, but she played, lived, and loved like a kitten. She knew she was home from the moment I brought her back after signing the paperwork and she had the best life I could provide for her to make up for the time she didnt have a home and family she could call her own. Leslie, that friend who pushed me to adopt her, and the anonymous donor who sponsored her fees blessed me with the best gift I could have ever been given by putting Halley in my life for the rest of her life and I truly believe that Halley appreciated the time she had with me. Eden makes stories and dreams like this come together on a daily basis but they also deal with the hard part of this career, having to say no because they don't have the room. We all need to come together to help these amazing people who sink every penny they can into expanding their facilities to accommodate more animals, we need to spread the word if we can't adopt, we need to sponsor when we can to help in any way possible, and we need to adopt (RESCUE) instead of shop at all times. If you can't welcome a new family member into the home, consider donating to help fund their mission, even a few dollars here and there helps them keep another animal safe, healthy, and loved or if you're lucky it helps one of the cats find their home and family.I can't thank Eden enough for what they do and what they gave me by introducing Halley to me. You guys are everything I aspire to be with cats and I appreciate you so much and miss Halley every day. Seriously, thank you for being who you are and every single thing you do. I will never be able to properly put into words how much gratitude I have for being able to be Halley's person and for what you do every single day.

We recently adopted TIGGER and CHEETO PUFF on August 13, 2021. Both kitty cats are treasures and doing great in our home. The communication prior to the adoption and the application process was a challenge for an 80 year old. It was worth the frustration to finally get an appointment and adopt two cats.We decided to change the name of Cheeto Puff to TACO. The name fits him better and he is a love and enjoys lap time. TIGGER Is a sweet girl. They both are very good eaters and have been friendly with visitors coming to see them! Our dog Abby Dabby has adjusted amazingly well. The cats GROOM Abby’s face and she tolerates that. We are thankful for a happy home with all getting along. The cats have brought life and energy to us and the dog. One of God’s blessings!!Thank you EDEN ANIMAL HAVEN for your mission to rescue cats and find good homes for them.Your facility is impressive and your assistant Jasmine was a wonderful help to us. She was informative and caring.

Adopted a kitten for my brother & wife from Eden. This place is wonderful! It is a small facility that enables them to interact with every one of the kitties.Even though I knew who I was adopting beforehand, they gave me a tour of each of the rooms and gave me insights on each of the cats who decided to check out the visitor. Staff so very caring of the kitties living here waiting for their forever homes! Facility is clean and inviting. Everyone I dealt with were friendly, and very knowledgeable about each of their "residents " personalities.There are windows with wide ledges in EVERY room for cats to lounge on and watch outdoor happenings. This is so important for the mental health of cats!! Happy cats = successful adoptions!All CAGE FREE, except for new intakes that need a short time to adapt to their new surroundings (and for the other cats to get used to the new arrival). The cats are in "group rooms" and everyone of them seemed comfortable and secure with their roommates.And the "catios" are wonderful! (Catio is a chain link outdoor area that the cats can access from their indoor room). These catios are designed better than I've seen before. They have the regular chain link so the kitties can't escape, but Eden added a secondary fine screen 6" out from the main fencing. This keeps flies, mosquitoes and other bugs from entering the catio! And the 6" keeps kitties from being able to reach out and claw holes in the screen.Thumbs up for Eden Animal Haven!

Leslie and Bill are such wonderful people to work with on finding your new fur baby. My wife and I got two special needs kitties and they were completely up front and honest with us about everything that would entail. I will be highly recommending them to anyone who will listen.

The best! The kitties are in rooms so they can just roam around. The staff so nice. Sara is just wonderful. Will be telling everyone to adopt a kitty from here! They love the kitties that are here no matter what age.

Having lost our two cats within a month of each other, we decided that we would not get another cat. However, we had never been without a cat in 54 years of marriage. So it wasn't long before we were looking for a new kitty. I knew about Eden Haven through Facebook. So on a recent Tuesday afternoon we ventured through the doors. After a very short time, fell in love with Spunky Valentine. She has been a real joy and filled an empty space in our hearts. The adoption process was relatively short. We appreciate that they are thorough. It's evident that they care deeply about those in their care. Thank you Eden Haven for our girl.

Thank you so much for helping me with my blind cat. Now she is safe under your care! I am very impressed with your dedication and hard work that meets an urgent need in our area. Very clean facility and cats that are thriving. May God bless you!

They have been so helpful with my unexpected litter! I am so thankful my babies will be safe and well taken care of, and eventually find new homes. Would recommend EAH to anyone needing a safe place to adopt out their kittens or cats.

Leslie and Bill are phenomenal! They put their heart and soul into what they do. Their sanctuary cats are the happiest, most laid back and well cared for I have ever seen. This is the place to find your furever kitter💗

Friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable staff. A clean and comfortable location for the animals. We found it to be a fantastic place to adopt a cat with our oldest daughter.

The owners are extremely caring and run this operation very well. It's been a pleasure to volunteer there and they really do look out for the welfare of the cats. Highly recommend adopting a cat from here or volunteering.

Cute cats, extremely judgemental people. Don't even bother trying to adopt from here, especially if you're looking for a cat after tragically losing one. They'll assume you won't change the situation for the new cat, and then give you an application to make you think they will give you a chance, only to deny it. We were willing to change the situation, but they chose not to believe us.Thankfully we found someone else who is willing to work with us.
