Bookroo's summary

Haven, a timid housecat, must leave her cozy home when her beloved Ma Millie falls ill. Venturing into the wild, she seeks help, joined by a savvy fox ally. As they navigate perilous paths, Haven confronts fierce creatures and her own fears. Can her loyalty and newfound courage overcome the lurking predator and save Ma Millie?

From the publisher

When her cherished Ma Millie falls ill, a timid housecat ventures into the wild to seek help in this adventure about love, loss, and finding the truest version of ourselves. A warm, cozy lap. The toasty smell of baking bread. Tasty food served in a bright-blue bowl. These make Haven’s life as an indoor pet heaven. All thanks to her beloved human and rescuer, Ma Millie. But when Ma Millie becomes too sick to care for her, the cat’s cozy life is turned upside down, and Haven decides she must seek out another human for help. Anything for Ma Millie! Her vow pulls her out of her safe nest into the shadowy forest and down unfamiliar and dangerous roads. When her first plan fails, Haven meets a wilderness-savvy fox who volunteers as an ally, and their perilous journey together brings some victories. But Haven finds herself pitted against creatures far wilder than she ever could be, testing her strength and spirit to their limits. Will her loyalty to Ma Millie–and her newfound confidence in herself–be enough to help Haven see the quest through to its conclusion? Can she stand up against the fierce predator that is tracking her every move?
