Safe Haven Humane Society

A Recent Feature for Weekly Sentinel

For a kitty, Mickey is a leg man. He adores your attention, but when you focus your attention away from him, he sometimes scratches your leg to get your full attention. No harm intended, he just hopes playtime will resume.

Cats like Mickey are very intelligent. They need activities and interaction to sustain their busy brains. Isolation, loneliness or just a lack of activity can sometimes cause unhappiness. 

Intelligent kitties like Mickey send signals to humans to tell them about their wants and needs. Mickey meows to tell you he’s lonely, feels neglected or just wants your love and attention. About once a month, Mickey has gotten so unhappy that he goes after someone’s ankle — and then he really gets everyone’s attention! 

Mickey really needs to be adopted by a true cat person, where he will receive the time and attention he so clearly craves. Mickey is the kind of cat who requires the care of a person who is also intelligent, active and blessed with a curious mind. 

Mickey would be a great pet for someone interested in cat training. Aside from the usual interactive cat toys everyone uses, Mickey is game for the advanced stuff. He would be a wonderful cat to clicker train and harness train. His great big curious mind needs you to keep him busy and happy. He’d love someone who helps him use his smarts. 

Let’s see if we can match Mickey’s needs with the right person. Mickey has a friendly personality and enjoys being in the company of female cats. Male cats challenge him. Even though Micky craves lots of human interaction, he also loves his long cat naps in the warm sunshine. He is still a cat after all. Let’s not forget that.

We seriously hope Mickey’s perfect match comes forward soon. Mickey can’t possibly get all the lovin’ he needs in a crowded shelter like ours. It’s sad. So don’t delay. Give Nancy a call at 207-229-7094 and she’ll tell you all about him. 

Did you know that Safe Haven’s kitties are housed in two locations? Our primary shelter is at 1420 Post Road, next to the Wells Public Library, open weekdays from 10am-2pm, and Saturdays 9:30-11:30am.
