Closed July 7-8

SAFE Haven for Cats will be closed so our amazing staff can connect with and learn from our fellow animal rescuers at the Best Friends Animal Society Conference. While we’re learning, you can look at the Cats 101 section of our website to expand your knowledge about kitties!


Best of the Triangle

Because of you, we were named the Best Nonprofit in Wake County as part of IndyWeek’s 2022 Best of the Triangle! From IndyWeek: “Here at the INDY, we love our cats (and dogs, too, of course). So, it warms our hearts that readers chose this Raleigh institution as the best nonprofit in Wake County.” It warms our hearts too so thank you to everyone who cast their vote and encouraged others to choose us!


Fireworks Done Right

While July 4th has passed, fireworks can often ring out throughout the summer months. While they often are exciting for humans, they can be terrifying for your furry friend! Here are a few tips to help make this activity safe for your pet.


Stay Cool for the Summer

Summer is always hot, but your kitties don’t have to be! Follow SAFE Haven on Facebook and follow SAFE Care Clinic on Facebook for tips that can help your cat be as cool as they can be.

A-Meow-zing Generosity!

Thank you to everyone who dropped off or sent donations during our Kitten Shower last month! You donated 174 pounds of wet food, 256 pounds of dry food, 240 pounds of litter and so much more. That means we can continue helping these sweet little ones when they need us. The kittens thank you!


How You Can Keep Helping

Through Sunday, June 5, please donate cat food and litter to help local families in need by donating at the Pet Food Pantry Donation Drive. This spring pet supply drive is all about the cats!

    • Dry cat food – any flavor Purina Friskies and Purina Cat Chow
    • Wet food – Friskies shreds or bits
    • Litter

You are welcome to drop off donations at the shelter (look for the pink tent!) or ship them directly to us through Amazon or your favorite online pet store!

13,000 Lives Saved!

13,000 Lives Saved!

Congratulations to Piston, the 13,000th cat to find his fur-ever home through SAFE Haven! This young man may look like he was working in the car shop where he was rescued, but that smudge on his nose is actually part of his natural charm.

Thank you to his new family for giving him a chance and thank you to everyone who has helped us reach this milestone!
