Feline Fundamentals: Bottle Feeding Orphan Kittens

Yes, these bottle babies are super cute, and their care is both an art and a science. Learn best practices from the experts! You will learn exactly what to do if you (or someone you know) find orphan kittens. From bottle and syringe feeding to general kitten care information, we’ve got you covered to help keep the little ones alive and thriving. At the end of the session, participants will be able to describe necessary steps in caring for orphan kittens, including when to contact a veterinarian or SAFE Haven shelter staff.

PLEASE NOTE: expert cat caretakers will demonstrate feeding kittens since these babies are fragile and require special handling and care.

Don’t Let Your Cat Fall Back into Old Habits – Spring into Action with Low-Cost Neutering at SAFE Care Clinic!

Is your male kitty on the prowl again? Feline overpopulation is a concern everywhere, and one neutered male cat may mean a decrease of unwanted animals that numbers in the thousands. What’s more – your male cat will be less aggressive, won’t spray as much (or at all), and won’t have that tomcat smell anymore. Neutering isn’t just a good idea – it’s a great idea for you and for him!

The SAFE Care Spay / Neuter Clinic is offering $25 surgeries for male cats and kittens in March and April 2019. We may be able to assist with transportation, too.

Stop the yowling and the Stray Cat Strut – call SAFE Care for an appointment today: 919.872.7730

Cannot be combined with any other offer or coupons. The procedure must be completed between March 1 – April 30, 2019. Check-in time for spay/neuter appointments is between 7:00 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. Pick-up time is between 4:00 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.

Two KittensFoster Sleepovers & Foster Information Fair 
Tuesday, March 5 – 6:30 – 8:00 pm 
Tickets: $5 Donation 

Learn from our shelter staff how many cats – not just kittens – need foster families to take a break from shelter life, to learn to be more social and to get some vital enrichment that increases their chance for adoption. Foster sleepovers may be just a weekend, or it may be several weeks. However long, it is a rewarding and fun experience that introduces you to the foster process in a more relaxed, less demanding way. 

After attending this seminar, you will be more aware of the foster process, and what types of cats and kittens will be ideal for you to care for in your home. SAFE Haven for Cats has a fantastic community of fosters who will be delighted for you to join them on an immensely gratifying journey to help homeless cats and kittens find their forever homes!
