Mark your calendars because SAFE Haven for Cats is once again participating in Clear the Shelters. We want this year’s event to be our biggest yet! Join us on Friday, August 22, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for our Felines for Five adoption event. For one day only, all adoption fees for adult cats and kittens will be just $5! Your furry family member could be waiting for you, and they’re only five dollars away.

What to Know About the Event

• We anticipate a big turnout, so please be ready to wait a bit and prepare for the weather. We’ll be limiting the number of visitors inside the shelter at any given time. We’ll have:
• • Shaded tents outside to help you stay cool
  • Cold water, snacks, and even games for the kids
• Volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions and help you fill out your Adoption Interest Survey, but you can fill it out online in advance.
• Adoptions are first-come, first-served, so the earlier you arrive, the more choices you’ll have.
• We cannot hold cats. Our website may not update in real time, so some cats listed online may already be adopted by the time you arrive. If we clear the shelter before 6 p.m., we’ll post updates on our website and social media pages, so be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!
• Requirements to Adopt:
  • You must be 21 or older to adopt.
  • Bring your own secure plastic carrier if you have one (top-loading preferred, no cardboard carriers, please). Any cat you adopt must leave with you that same day.

While adoption fees are only $5, we’ll have plenty of additional supplies, toys, and goodies available for purchase, plus we gladly accept donations to support our lifesaving work. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

Our goal is to send every single cat home with a loving family, and with your support, we can make it happen. Every adoption on August 22 helps us make space for the next cat in need.

The SAFE Haven team is here to help you meet your match and find your next best friend. Your patience and kindness are deeply appreciated as we work together to create happy new beginnings.

We can’t wait to see you and clear the shelter!

Why Vaccinate Against Rabies and Distemper?
Rabies and distemper are both highly contagious and highly fatal diseases, but they are easily preventable. Vaccination is key to making sure your pet is protected. Rabies is also required by North Carolina law for all dogs and cats over four months old. Keep your pets protected, and help stop the spread of these serious diseases.

Why Microchipping Matters
If your pet ever gets lost, a microchip can be their ticket home. Only a small percentage of lost pets make it back to their families— just 22% of dogs and 2% of cats. But with a microchip, that number jumps to nearly 75%! A microchip the size of a grain of rice is inserted just under your pet’s skin that can be scanned by shelters or vets to identify and contact you. It’s quick, easy, and one of the best ways to make sure your furry friend stays safe, just in case they ever wander off.

Through June 30, the adoption fee for all adult cats (6 months and older) is just $25! Are you looking to bring a new feline friend into your life? SAFE Haven for Cats is celebrating the charm, grace, and love of adult cats with our special adoption event.

With municipal shelters overflowing and many cats being surrendered due to household changes, among other reasons, we want to help save kitty lives.

Adult cats often get overlooked in favor of kittens, but they have so much to offer.

• • Their personalities are already developed, so you know exactly who you’re bringing home.
  • They’re often calmer and less mischievous.
  • They’re loving and ready for a forever home.

Every cat and kitten at SAFE Haven is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to fill your home with joy. They’ve also received a complete veterinary exam and been tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus!

Adopting a cat doesn’t just change their life. It will change yours, too. Meet your match and adopt an adult cat!

Offer is good through June 30, subject to change.
