New Safe Haven Adoption Center & Treasure Shoppe

UPDATE: Our Thrift & Treasures Shop is open 11am- 4pm Mon-Sat. Our downstairs "free range" cat room is full of cuties for you to meet and fall in love with.

Upstairs, the big cat room, intake room, quarantine room and offices are nearly finished. The drywall is up, the linoleum is down, the walls are painted and furniture is being moved upstairs.Thanks to all the hard-working SH volunteers, especially Phil Carey, Carl Dunbar and Malfredo. Special thanks to Hancock Lumber, Inangelo Electric, Mark Drew and all the other generous souls who helped.

Bill the Cat says thank you!

Dear Safe Haven friends,

I'm a stray that collapsed in Joyce's yard last summer. My bones were sticking out, my eyes were infected, I was flea-bitten and dehydrated and anemic -- I was a mess. Well, I sure picked the right yard to collapse in. Joyce is president of Safe Haven. She gave me food and water, and raced me to the vet -- after I collapsed (right).

I got very lucky when a volunteer named Meridith took me into SH foster care. I was old, sick, and dirty. But she still wanted me! 

For months now I've been living with her and Michael. I am so happy. Now I have everything a cat could ever ask for. I am healthy and enjoying my days pain-free, even though it turns out I have inoperable cancer.

I received the Christmas miracle I was praying for. Meridith and Michael are adopting me and making me their very own kitty! It's all thanks to Safe Haven volunteers and supporters like YOU. Thanks!

Build a feral cat shelter from two storage bins

Got strays or ferals on your property? Please help them survive the winter. Provide fresh food and unfrozen water, and give them shelter from the cold and snow. 

If you don't have a barn or garage they can use, you can easily build them an in expensive house from two Rubbermaid-style storage bins and some insulating straw. 

Get step-by-step instructions here. And thanks for helping to spread the NO KILL solution!

Available for adoption

Many sweet cats and kittens are currently available for adoption. Some are on this page. More are on our Petfinder page.

Can you cuddle?

There are a lot of lonely kitties that needs that kind of attention. To be a Safe Haven foster volunteer, you don't need to be home all day. You don't need a spare room or special training. All you really need is a little time and love, hands and a heart, and a desire to care for an at-risk cat and/or kittens. 

Being a kitty's foster parent is easy. We'll show you everything you need to know. We'll even supply the food, litter and supplies, if needed. Please help -- lives are in the balance. Learn more about fostering here.
