SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Tuxedo Cat Ball Sponsorship Package
For complete information about our sponsorship opportunities, please review the following package:
TCB Sponsorship Package
SAFE Haven is depending on individual and corporate sponsorships. The reality of today’s tough economy finds fewer cats adopted and more abandoned at our door (or returned when household finances worsen). More than 75 cats are currently on a list waiting to come into the shelter. We won’t give up on these innocent animals until the day when there are no more homeless pets.
Sponsorships include admission tickets, special recognition as well as media exposure. Degree of exposure varies by level of participation.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
Your ticket purchase will help support one of the region's most successful shelter and adoption programs. Every year SAFE Haven finds homes for 400-500 stray, abandoned and orphaned cats and kittens. SAFE Haven never waivers from our commitment of non-euthanasia. We are the Triangle’s authentic no-kill shelter.
30% of the pet owners who use the SAFE CARE Feline Spay Neuter Clinic do so for free or at a very low cost. Your donation to the Tuxedo Cat Ball will allow us to continue sterilizing every cat who comes to the clinic, regardless of the owner’s ability to pay. Last year SAFE Care eliminated the deaths and suffering of thousands of cats by sterilizing over 1,400 animals.
There are many "feel good" benefits for your support. When you partner with a successful animal organization you have the peace of mind that your donation actually reaches the animals. In fact, due to our low overhead and use of volunteer help, $0.86 of every dollar we raise goes directly to the cats and kittens. You will join a group of exciting people who own pets and are charitable, environmentally conscious, and advocates for the underdog. After all, everybody loves animals.
