SAFE Haven For Cats (SHFC) is a no-kill shelter for cats located in the North Raleigh area of North Carolina. We are a unique community-based animal shelter. In addition to providing adoption services for cats and kittens in need of good homes, we also manage a foster program for animals requiring a little extra love and care. We further assist our community in providing feline spay and neuter services in connection with SAFE Care Feline Spay Neuter Clinic.

RECESSIONAL IMPACT

Hard Economic Times Impact Families and Pets

Today’s tough economy is having an impact on the cats. The reality finds fewer cats adopted and more abandoned at our door, or returned when household finances worsen.

This summer we were caring for over 90 cats daily. The most in the 15 year history of SAFE Haven. It is common for more than 75 cats and (mostly) kittens to be on a list waiting to come into the shelter.

The volunteers at SAFE Haven are working hard to keep up with the demand for our services in the Triangle. We have been through tough times before. We won’t give up on these innocent animals until the day when there are no more homeless pets.

Please consider making a donation today.
