You raised $26,229 for the cats!

THANK YOU! You have saved the lives of over 200 cats with the the Clear the Shelters “Kitty”. Your donations of $14,229 plus the $12,000 pledged donation from our generous donor means $26,229 to care for the cats lucky enough to come to SAFE Haven for Cats.

From all the cats at SAFE Haven and the cats we’ll save in the future…
THANK YOU! 

For 25 years, our volunteers have helped make SAFE Haven for Cats what it is today. 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!

We have just 4 more days to unlock the match donation of $12,000. When a generous donor heard that we adopted 45 cats during Clear the Shelters for free they knew they had to do something! They said that if we were able to raise $12,000 by the end of August for the Clear the Shelter “Kitty” they would match it dollar-for-dollar.

The SAFE Haven community has already raised $7,277 to meet our goal of $12,000. We are over halfway there! There is still room for YOU to make a difference!

The Clear the Shelters “Kitty” is a communal pot of money that will be used to recoup the cost of care for the Clear the Shelter cats plus care for at least 100 cats in the future! This also means your donation will go twice as far with every dollar matched through the end of the month!

But we both know there are more lives to be saved.

Each cat who found a home at Clear the Shelters represents $125 in costs that were waived. By sponsoring this cost, you are helping fund the attention, medical care and love that our volunteers and staff have given that cat, preparing it for a loving family and stable life and helping the next one get adopted, too!

Can’t donate $125? Please know that any amount is very helpful and appreciated!

Help the kitties by making a donation of $125 today.
