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 wavers from our commitment of no-kill. We save all the adoptable, treatable and recoverable animals who come to us.

37% 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 1,500 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.
