Help Us Celebrate 25 Years Of Saving Lives! 
We’re Looking For A Lot of Cat Tales! 

We can’t believe it’s been 25 years of cat cuddles, kitty kisses, and happy furever homes. You helped find homes for 10,000 cats over all those years. Thank YOU for being part of our 9,125 days of saving lives! 

We want to share YOUR stories of the kitties you have adopted from SAFE Haven! We’re looking for the first SAFE Haven cat you adopted to the long line of kitties you’ve saved by bringing home special SAFE Haven cats. There is no story too short or too long! 

On our special 25th Anniversary page, we have a form to share your stories. You can also tell your tale in our Facebook Group. We may even choose to share your story with the whole SAFE Haven community as we celebrate our big milestone! 

Not sure what to write? Here are some ideas for stories you could share:

    • When did your SAFE Haven cat become part of the family?
    • How did you know your kitty was the one?
    • How many times have you adopted from us and why did you keep coming back to SAFE Haven? Volunteer Rosa Chrismon has adopted five cats from us, and we know she’s not alone!
    • Share your photo from the day your kitty came home with you. What was that first day like for your new family?

On Facebook, Melissa Rose shared an update on her tub-edge buddy Silvia:

Facebook Review from Melissa Rose: My baby girl will be almost 2 years old. It's been a little over a year since I adopted Silvia and can't get enough of her sweet, previous nature with her

Remember: if you share your story on social media, tag us with #SH25 or #4EverSAFE. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Picture of Black Cat With Pink Text - 10,000!

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.

Easter Plants Mean Poison

Close Up of Easter Lilly

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.

Kittens Are Coming. Are You Ready?

Mar 30, 2019 | News

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
Two KittensWhat 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/
