We’re going to be closed Friday, April 12, so we can prepare for the Tuxedo Cat Ball!
If you’re not joining us in person, you can still join us online. Here’s how:
We’ve saved more than 10,000 cats in the last 25 years. How? With your support.
That’s why we want you to come party with us at the Tuxedo Cat Ball – because there are more cats to save.
Proceeds from the Tuxedo Cat Ball support SAFE Haven’s rescue efforts, the SAFE Care Clinic, Pet Food Pantry, Mature Companions, and so much more.
It’s almost here – the Tuxedo Cat Ball is just a week away. There are only a few tickets left so act fast! You won’t want to miss our 100 auction items, delicious dinner, dancing, and fun. Click here to get tickets so you don’t miss out!
Can’t make the Ball or want to place an early bid on one of our amazing auction items? Bidding online opens TOMORROW, April 5. Check it out here.
Did You See? You Helped Save 10K Cats!
On March 16 we adopted our 10,000th kitty! If we weighed all these kitties, they would be about 40 tons – the average weight of a tractor-trailer. Talk about moving some fur! But really, it’s 10,000 lives saved, families made, and hearts melted with nuzzles from a forever friend. Read the whole story on our website.
If We Could Talk to the Animals…
Adult cats only meow at humans, not at other cats. Why? To tell us something we’re not picking up from their body language! Dr. Jennifer Bledsoe-Nix will help you better understand your kitty during our May 7 Cat Communication workshop. Save your seat now.

Celebrate 25 Years With Us
Forrest Gump. Friends. Amazon. Justin Bieber. What do we have in common with them? We’re all 25 years old! There will be fun events and activities celebrating our silver anniversary throughout summer so stay tuned to our website and social media!
Spring into Action & Fix Your Feline
By fixing one male cat, the number of unwanted kitties can be reduced by thousands. This quick surgery helps you, your furry friend, and the feline population as a whole so we’re offering a $25 neuter special. Act quick – offer ends April 30. Learn more.
Give Our Helpers a Hand
National Volunteer Week is April 8-12 and it’s a great time for us to say thanks to our amazing volunteers that help with everything from working with our website to cleaning our kitty cages. As a small token of our appreciation, this week we’ll have food for our volunteers and there will even be giveaways. Know someone that volunteers with us? Say thanks!

Easter Plants Mean Poison
Lilies are a beautiful part of the Easter holiday but for your cat, they mean danger. All it takes is one drink of water from a vase of cut lilies for your furry friend to suffer. Learn more about these beautiful but deadly plants.
Other plants to look out for include azaleas, baby’s breath, and daffodils. Here’s a helpful list of plants to look out for so your kitty can stay safe and healthy.
Spring is upon us, and that means Kitten Season – a time when the number of homeless kittens drastically increases as new litters are born…and born…and born!
Lasting from April until the end of fall, this season brings challenges that require time and effort, but here’s how you can help: https://www.safehavenforcats.org/programs-and-services/services-for-strays/kitten-season/
The Fix
What else can be done to help during Kitten Season? Spay or neuter your furry friends. By reducing the number of kittens born, we can reduce the number of cats euthanized unnecessarily. Click here for 4 myths about spaying and neutering.
This season, you can also spring into action with our low-cost neutering special for male cats. From March through April, we’re offering $25 surgeries for male cats and kittens. Take advantage of this special before time runs out: https://www.safehavenforcats.org/news/spring-into-action/
All of our SAFE Haven alumni are winners, but here’s a winning story perfect for March Madness.
Pippen, a 3-year-old Tuxedo cat adopted by Kathryn Fromson, was named the winner of a bracket-style contest to find a twin for Instagram cat Max (@mrpawsome). The contest, Max’s Annual #Twinning Tournament, doesn’t just give Pippen bragging rights. Pippen got a gift crate of cat goodies from KitNip Box, and SAFE Haven got a prize too – donations from our Amazon wishlist courtesy of the contest owner @MrPawesome!
In its second year, the contest is inspired by the rescue cat named Max that the account is dedicated to. The owner says that Max, who recently celebrated his 6th adopt-a-versary, helped them heal from the difficult and sudden loss of their cat Max. The contest also brings attention to cat rescues and the work they do.
Thank you to Max and family for the amazing donation and congratulations to Pippen for being a great lookalike for Max!
