Here’s a Recent Weekly Sentinel Feature
Paris used to live in a home with multiple cats, none of them spayed or neutered. Unsurprisingly, Paris became a young mother cat, along with many other females.
As soon as the kittens were weaned, the family wanted all of them gone fast. A certain shelter scooped up the kittens because they’e so desirable and easier to adopt than adult cats.
Paris and another female were left behind, unwanted. Safe Haven stepped in and took in the two adult females. Of course one was pregnant again.
Her companion gave birth to 5 kittens and will be very busy with motherhood for the next 8-10 weeks. We certainly don’t want Paris to have to put her life on hold waiting for her friend, so Paris is ready to be adopted now.
What a cat Paris is! She’s petite, because she was a mother too early in life. She still looks like a kitten herself. She’s a beautiful grey and white, with stunning almond-shaped eyes that beg you to come and give her the attention she craves.
She’s full of love and craves affection. She’s a purring machine and is so ready to join a loving home, and perhaps even another feline who is accepting of a new family member.
This beautiful cat must find a home. It simply wouldn’t be fair at all if she didn’t find one in time for Christmas. So don’t delay.
Check out ALL our adoptable cats here.
Fill out an inquiry/adoption application for Paris. Once you meet her, you’ll know she is the cat for you. PS: hurry it’s almost Christmas!
Our very successful Matching Gift fundraiser is coming to an end, but there is still time to make a donation to Safe Haven that will be matched and doubled. Generous supporters provided the original $40,000, and each dollar you give to Safe Haven will be matched up to $40,000.
This fundraiser ends Christmas Day. So please send your donation to Safe Haven, PO Box 91, Wells, ME 04090 or donate at our website, www.safehavenhumanesociety.org.

We’ve been blessed to have this huge improvement paid for by our supporters Kathleen, Karl, Jim, Eileen, Roberta and an anonymous friend. This helps Safe Haven to stay on budget so we can keep rescuing at-risk kitties in our communities. We can’t thank you enough!
