Your time to help them is now…

There’s something I know that I don’t need to tell you: Life is incredibly different for all of us in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Life changed in the blink of an eye and not much is the same here at SAFE Haven for Cats.

The 70 cats in the shelter have a dedicated team of 13 staff each day. We are caring for new litters of kittens and giving every cat enriching activities to fill their day. The cats sure do love having a full team of people waiting on them.

And of course, there is the reality of our lack of funds needed to care for these innocent animals. Our largest fundraising event of the year, the Tuxedo Cat Ball that would have raised more than $125,000 has been postponed. In addition, our basic income from adoptions and spay/neuter clinic services have completely evaporated. Each passing week is another $5,000 in critical operating revenue lost.

Our reserves – both financially and emotionally – are being tested. We need your help now.

Once this is over the demand for our services will be greater than it has ever been before. We will matter more than ever, and we need to be ready to adopt hundreds of cats and kittens to support our partner county shelters, to feed people’s pets, and to provide low-cost spay/neuter services.

Our challenge is making it from “here” to “there”. And we need your help.

Your generous financial support will help us get from here to there. I can promise you that your gift in any amount…$5, $50, or $500…will be appreciated and every penny of it will be used to care for the animals.

This is your chance to make a difference. Your chance to fight back against a virus that threatened to undo 26 years of selfless commitment to innocent animals. Please choose to stand with us by making your gift today.

Thank you for your friendship and stay strong as we navigate this difficult moment together.

Sincerely,
Pam Miller
Founder and President

Want to help? Please consider making a donation because our care doesn’t stop!

In what has been a matter of days, nothing is as it has always been before and that is especially true for all of us here at SAFE Haven for Cats.

As I write you today, we have 75 cats and kittens that are being cared for by our professional team.

• • No volunteers.
  • No visitors.
  • No clinic hours.
  • No adoptions.

To navigate this new normal and to care for some of the most vulnerable that we share this life with, our paid staff has taken on the workload of an army of volunteers. Like everyone who is a part of our extended family, they are motivated by their commitment and their passion for the cats in kittens in our care.

Simply put…we need your help, your financial support now…in any amount, so that we can provide funding for all of our staff and compensate them for their service. These extra costs were unplanned, and therefore, unbudgeted.

I can promise you that your gift in any amount…$5, $50 or $500…will be appreciated and all of it will be used to provide for the care of the animals here with us until adoptions can once again resume.

Following recommendations of Governor Roy Cooper and to protect the health of our supporters, volunteers and staff, we are postponing the 2020 Tuxedo Cat Ball. We will honor all tickets and sponsorships at the rescheduled fundraising event to celebrate you – our adopters, volunteers and supporters who have made it possible to save 44,000 lives.

Thank you for your continued support. We thank you and our cats thank you!
