Cats + Coffee = ❤️

Cat cuddles and coffee – the purr-fect combination! Mark your calendars for October 1 because Purr Cup Café just announced its grand opening!

What is a cat café? It’s a coffee shop WITH CATS! Doesn’t that sound like the best idea ever? We thought so. That’s why we agreed to partner with them, meaning the adoptable cats in the cat lounge will be from SAFE Haven!

To see how the café works and more, visit our special Purr Cup page and visit the cafe’s site for more information about their opening and COVID-19 procedures.

What a Night!

Tuxedo Cat Ball 2020 Logo

During our first online Tuxedo Cat Ball last month, we had a virtual blast with so many of you! Between silent and live auctions and your donations, we raised $58,000, meaning we get to save so many more kitty lives – because of you! While we missed getting the chance to boogie on the dance floor with you, we appreciate everyone who joined us. It was a night to remember!


A Drive-Thru of Generosity

Once again, you – our amazing community – showed your support. During our Pet Food Pantry Donation Drive-Thru, you donated 4,996 lbs of dry food and 2,542 cans of wet food. This outpouring of kindness will help so many of our neighbors in need. On their behalf, we thank you!

The Scratching Post: September 2020

The Scratching Post: September 2020

Message from Pam Miller, Founder & President:

One year ago, I wrote about SAFE Haven’s promise to the stray and abandoned animals in our community. Our commitment to this cause has been unflinching; to do everything we could to increase the lifesaving capacity in our programs. Now, just one year later and in spite of everything going on, we have accomplished the first part of our goal…thanks to you! Construction is complete and we have moved into our new 5,400 square feet of space, doubling the size of our center.

We are off and running and the benefits to the cats are numerous:

  • More colony rooms in the shelter
  • More and swifter adoptions (281 in 14 weeks!)
  • Air handling systems designed for animals
  • Spay/Neuter Clinic capacity doubled; appointment wait times cut in half
  • Lower prices for spay/neuter surgeries for our community
  • Sterilizing dogs of all sizes too!

But finishing construction and moving in was just the beginning. Now comes the truly hard work of sustaining our important services and expanding them even further until all the cats (and dogs too!) have homes.

I hope you will be pleased with everything you read in our annual report newsletter. None of this would be possible without you, our donors, adopters, clinic customers, rescuers, volunteers, and loyal friends.

With gratitude,

Pamela Miller
Founder & President

Clinic News: Healthy Dogs & Cats = Happy Life

Clinic News: Healthy Dogs & Cats = Happy Life

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!
