Join us for a Drive-Thru Kitten Shower. All you have to do is shop our registry and then drop off your gifts at SAFE Haven, Monday, June 8 through Sunday, June 14 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Look for our tent and special drop-off table in front of SAFE Haven. Be sure to take a tax receipt as well!

Adopt Our Kitties!

Black & White Cat With Yellow Eyes

As of May 8, we’re doing online adoptions! We’re so thankful that we can start our adoption program again. It makes our hearts purr to know that we can get back to our mission of saving animals’ lives. These are the new ways we’re meeting our mission:

  1. New Adoption Process – All adoptions will start with our online adoption process. We are NOT open for walk-in adoptions or visitors at this time. If you would like to adopt one of our cats, please follow our new online adoption process.
  2. Donate But Not In-Kind – Due to social distancing and health guidelines, we cannot accept any dropped off in-kind donations from the community of pet food, cat accessories, or any other items from your home. If you would like to help the cats, please consider making a donation or purchasing items on our Amazon Wish List.
  3. Clinic Closed for Appointments – Our Clinic staff is at full speed taking care of the cats in the Shelter, but they are not able to make appointments from members of the community yet. Please watch your email for when we can start accepting appointments again.
  4. If You Find a Stray – Thank you for caring for our cats in the community through these turbulent times for us all. If you would like to add a stray cat or kitten to our waitlist, please click here.
