How can you keep your cat or dog happy and healthy at home?

• • Exercise! Going for walks or moving around the house with your furry friend can help them stay physically active.
  • Play a game. Just like you, your dog or cat can get bored. Help them stay mentally engaged by throwing a ball with your dog, playing with a cat toy or hiding treats for them to find.
  • Feed your pet a nutritious, healthy diet. Keeping your pet at a healthy weight will help them live longer and reduce the chance of obesity-related health problems.
  • Protect them from parasites. Use preventatives to help reduce the chance of flea, ticks and heartworms. These parasites aren’t just outdoors and are a significant risk to your dog or cat so keep them safe!

Spay and Neuter is Good for Your Dog!
Fixing your dog will not only help reduce the number of homeless dogs, but also help your dog be healthier! Here are a few benefits:

• • Spaying or neutering your dog can actually reduce the risk of specific cancers and infections.
  • Alteration surgery may reduce some of the negative behaviors that are the result of a dog’s mating instinct.
  • Research has shown that fixing your dog can mean a longer life expectancy. That means more time with you!

You’ve helped so many cats, but YOU can save more!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Tuxedo Cat Ball on Friday. While we missed seeing everyone in person, we loved getting to virtually connect and are so grateful for every single SAFE Haven community member who participated!

If you were not able to join us, you may not have heard our BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. While everyone was safer at home, our team was hard at work expanding our facility so we can save more lives.

We have doubled our footprint to 10,800 square feet. Our expansion allows us to:

• • Increase adoptions from 900 to 1,100 annually
  • Increase sterilizations from 3,400 to 7,500 annually—further decreasing unnecessary euthanasia
  • Offer sterilization services through our Medical Center for larger dogs for the first time in our history
  • Reduce wait time to schedule an appointment by half
  • Provide increased care for healthy, recovering, and socially awkward animals
  • Offer pet education and outreach programs to our community, helping keep animals out of shelters
  • Respond to emergencies such as natural disasters and animal cruelty (hoarding) cases

To accomplish all that, we need financial support. That’s why we’re asking for your help as we continue that Tuxedo Cat Ball feeling. All donations made this weekend will count towards our Tuxedo Cat Ball total, so let’s beat last year’s total!

Donate now & save lives!

Are you ready to party tonight? We are! The fun starts at 7:00 p.m. Tuxedo Cat Ball has everything: exclusive Live Auction items, our heartwarming video and MORE! While you’re watching, make sure you share your selfies and thoughts on social media using #TCBAtHome!
