Make a difference in our kitties’ lives!

Our volunteers play a vital role in SAFE Haven’s success. We need volunteers that are outgoing, hardworking, and want to make a difference for cats. Come to our Volunteer Information Session where you can learn about the essential role volunteers play in shelter cat care, community outreach, and adoptions.

We will have a presentation at 6:30 p.m. and then you can learn more from staff and current volunteers about opportunities, training, and the rewards of volunteering at SAFE Haven. Cat lovers ages 16 and up welcome.

Why we need you: Volunteers are needed to help clean the cat cages, socialize the cats, represent SAFE Haven at community outreach events such as Fill-A-Truck, work on special event committees like our Tuxedo Cat Ball, and much more.

We have a volunteer opportunity just for you!

Tuesday, March 10
at the SAFE Haven for Cats Shelter
6:30 – 8:00 pm

Why do I see these outdoor cats with one ear clipped? How can I help stop feline overpopulation? What resources are available to help me? We can coexist with community cats!

TNVR expert Gina will show us how. Learn the difference between stray/abandoned cats and feral cats, the different types of traps, the basics of trapping, how to make a clinic appointment, and how to care for these kitties.

We will provide handouts with feral housing and feeding station plans, a list of vets that see feral cats in the area, and tips on trapping “difficult” (or really smart!) kitties. Discover the benefits of Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) and let’s end unnecessary euthanasia together!
