Our adoptable kitties want to help the kitties in our community, but they need your help to do that! They’ve heard that the Pet Food Pantry is always in need of dry cat food and that it’s the purr-fect way to help.

From now until June 11, the official start of our Pet Food Pantry Drive, if you donate a bag of dry cat food to our Pet Food Pantry, you’ll receive Cat Cash that will give you $10 off the adoption fee when you’re approved to adopt any of our amazing cats at SAFE Haven!

Your cat food donation will help stock our Pet Food Pantry, which provides assistance to pet owners who otherwise might have to give up their beloved animals or go without food themselves so their kitties can eat.

Ready to donate? Here’s what you have to do:

• Bring a bag (or more!) of unopened dry cat food by the shelter between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
• Pick up your Cat Cash coupon.
• Apply to adopt one of our cute kitties and fill out the Adoption Interest Survey.
  Once you’re approved, give your coupon to your adoption counselor for your $10 discount!

Fine Print:

• Only one coupon will be provided per person or family.
• Not redeemable for cash.
• The coupon will expire on December 31, 2023.

Help local families and their kitties in need by donating during our Pet Food Pantry Donation Drive-Thru!

Between Sunday, June 11, and Saturday, June 17, we’ll be accepting donations for cats and dogs at the pink tent outside of SAFE Haven’s Pet Food Pantry at Suite 109. These donations will help us build our stockpile of food and litter.

SAFE Haven’s Pet Food Pantry supports pet owners in our community to assist them with food for their dogs and cats. Since 2012, the Pantry has distributed more than 100 tons of food and has helped hundreds of Triangle pets.

It’s only through your support that the SAFE Care Spay/Neuter Clinic can say “yes” to cats in need. Tiny Teegan was one kitten who needed extra love to get on the path to adoption.

Community Outreach Manager Gina Jennings was notified about a colony of cats in Zebulon. After driving around the neighborhood, she found the home feeding the strays – it was overrun with cats! It was a rough situation, but the residents were happy to have the SAFE Care Spay/Neuter Clinic’s help to get medical care as well as spay and neuter all the cats in the colony. The project took a number of weeks and despite some setbacks, the SAFE Care Team, led by Dr. Tiffany Kutner, was able to help the residents that loved but couldn’t care for all their cats.

One kitten that needed some extra attention was a little nugget named Teegan. She only weighed about 2 lbs and was the size of a 2-month-old kitten, even though she was 6 months old! The SAFE Care Spay/Neuter Clinic removed her ruptured eye and gave her the medical attention she needed to feel better than she had in a long time. Teegan is so lucky to be with SAFE Haven for Cats to receive medical care and finally find a loving forever home.

You can help the SAFE Care Team continue to care for cats in need and offer spay and neutering services. Make a donation today.

CBS 17 joined SAFE Haven for Cats to talk about Kitten Season and how much goes into supporting the influx of kittens we receive. From volunteer and staff time to supplies, kittens take a lot more care than adult cats! Click here to watch the story.

Want to help? Here’s how you can support SAFE Haven for Cat’s work with kittens: 

• Learn what to do during Kitten Season. 
• Volunteer with SAFE Haven to help care for the kittens that come to us.
• Donate to help us get the resources needed to provide needed care.

Over 30 years ago, Pam Miller envisioned a cats-only shelter in Wake County that was no-kill, high-quality, and relational in its approach to adoptions. Fast forward to 2023, SAFE Haven for Cats has found forever homes for nearly 15,000 cats and kittens. Its spay/neuter clinic will alter over 6,500 cats and dogs this year. Pam’s dedication to animal welfare and the community are seen every day in the faces of healthy and happy animals.

Pam has decided it’s time to pursue other opportunities and all of us wish her the best in this next chapter of her long career in nonprofits. Patti Godin, who has been the Senior Operations Director at SAFE Haven since 2017, has assumed the role of interim executive director; the organization is beginning a search for a Director of Development.

Thank you, Pam, for your vision, your devotion, and your commitment to SAFE Haven. She is definitely for cats, for life.
