When you donate to SAFE Haven in honor of a friend or family member, they’ll receive a personalized card informing them of your thoughtful gift.
Also, every donation made through the end of the year is now MATCHED! That means your gift will go even further!
It’s so easy! Just add your friend or family member’s contact information to the donation note along with your donation. Donate now!
Sponsor a Kitty
You can make a big difference in one of our kitties’ lives by sponsoring them until their fur-ever home is ready for them. Your donation covers food, care and medical costs during his or her time at SAFE Haven.
In return for your generosity, your name will be listed on your sponsored cat’s enclosure. You’ll also receive a photo and get a notification when your cat has found its family.
