This August, SAFE Haven for Cats is setting one big, bold, slightly whisker-raising goal: find loving homes for 100 cats in 31 days. That is 100 cats trading shelter nights for sunny windowsills. It’s 100 cats discovering their favorite spot on the couch. And 100...
The Cat Chronicle – September 2026
What’s better than one Cat of the Month? Two!!
Say hello to Sweetie Pie and Taven, our September Cats of the Month! This dynamic duo is a bonded pair who make the perfect team.
Sweetie Pie is the confident, outgoing one of the pair. She’s incredibly friendly and absolutely loves making new friends. With her warm personality and welcoming nature, she’s a natural social butterfly who will greet your guests with enthusiasm and affection.
Taven is a bit more reserved, but don’t let that fool you. Taven genuinely loves people too! He just needs a little time to warm up and feel comfortable. The best part? Sweetie Pie helps him shine in social situations. With his best friend by his side, he blossoms and shows just how loving he can be.
Sweetie Pie and Taven have been waiting for the right family to see how special they are together. Could that be you? Meet them today at SAFE Haven for Cats!
Give Smarter. Save More Cats.
Curious how your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) or Donor-Advised Fund could work even harder for cats? Join us for an informative session on tax-smart giving, where financial professionals will walk through how these strategies work and how thoughtful planning can create a lasting legacy for the cats and community we serve.
Whether you’re already giving this way or just exploring your options, you’ll leave with practical takeaways to bring back to your own financial advisor.
Sessions will be held in person and virtually.
In Person at SAFE Haven: Thursday, September 17 from 6:00-7:00 pm
Virtually through Zoom: Wednesday, September 23 from 12:00-1:00 pm
Mornings Made for Cat Lovers!
Our Shelter Cleaning Team is where we need the most help. Volunteers join us each morning from 9-11 am to scoop litter boxes, change linens and toys, fill water bowls, and sweep the floors, keeping the shelter clean and comfortable for every cat in our care.
Getting started is easy! To become a volunteer, you’ll complete a self-paced online orientation followed by an in-person tour. We offer multiple tours throughout the month, so you can find a time that works with your schedule.
Just come ready to work in closed-toe shoes (no flip-flops, tank tops, or shorts), and if time allows, you might even squeeze in some playtime with the cats you’re helping care for.

Thank YOU for Your Support
The workday was nearly over, but no one hesitated. Our SAFE Care Team immediately gathered around Cammie. They examined her, ran tests, and tried to understand what her fragile body needed. Most of her results offered hope. But her white blood cell count was dangerously high. And although a cat’s normal temperature is around 101 degrees, Cammie’s body would not warm above 95.
