Who has style?
Who has grace?
Who’s small and fluffy with the sweetest face?

Miss Congeniality! This tiny beautiful green-eyed girl is the picture of innocence…. when she’s sleeping.

Once she wakes? Hold onto to your hats folks because It’s. About. To. Go. Down. What is “it”? There’s no telling. Seriously. There is NO telling. Will she jump in your lap- and then chomp your arm and run away? Maybe! Will she purr, rub against your leg, and look adoringly up at you like a little angel kitty soliciting pets? It’s possible. Or… will she ignore you completely after casting a dismissive glance your way? It could happen.

If you crave excitement and inconsistency coupled with a disdain for the mundane and predictable DO WE HAVE A CAT FOR YOU!

Our little Miss Congeniality is a bit of a menace: She’s feisty and makes her own fun. We fear she’s very smart. You’ve seen the raptors in Jurassic Park? Kind of like that…

It’s her world and you’re just living in it so buckle up because she’s the one driving this bus

Do you want a snuggly laid back lap cat? Look somewhere else.
Do you want a tiny terror on four paws to upend your peaceful existence? WE’VE GOT YOUR GIRL.

Think you have what it takes to win her heart? In the immortal words of Miss Congeniality: “You think I’m gorgeous. You want to date me. You love me.” Prove it. Complete the adoption form and come meet your reigning queen.

Update: Boomers found his furever home!

Thanks to everyone who liked and shared Boomers’ story. You were an imporant part in bringing him home.

Every month, SAFE Haven features a special cat who deserves a little extra attention. If adopted, this sweetheart will come home with you, along with a special care package!

Meet Boomers: February’s Cat of the Month (and Your Perfect Valentine)

If your ideal Valentine is handsome, affectionate, a little spicy, and very clear about boundaries, Boomers might just be your soulmate.

Boomers is a big, handsome boy with a quiet personality that sneaks up on you in the best way. At first glance, he’s calm and observant. Give him a little time, though, and you’ll discover a cat who knows exactly how to charm the right person.

His hobbies?

• Making expert-level biscuits
• Sitting in cardboard boxes like they were custom-made for him
• Lying belly-up in doorways so you absolutely cannot open the door without negotiating

Classic Boomers.

When you’re his person, Boomers is all in. He’ll happily curl up in your lap, soak up rubs, and lean into those cozy moments that make winter feel warmer. He loves to play, enjoys affection, and can be incredibly sweet… but let’s be clear – Boomers is a little spicy 🌶️. He knows when it’s time to turn the fun on, and he also knows when it’s time for “mind your business.” And he will let you know. We respect a cat with communication skills.

Boomers doesn’t particularly enjoy shelter life (honestly, same), but his personality absolutely shines in a home setting. Our foster volunteers have seen him really relax, settle in, and really show off what a wonderful companion he can be. He’s just waiting for the chance to light up a home of his own, and maybe even share it with a cat friend, as he seems open to feline companionship.

This Valentine’s Day, skip the chocolates and flowers. Choose a love that makes biscuits, steals your boxes, blocks your doorways, and keeps life interesting. Boomers is ready to be someone’s perfect match.

💌 Think Boomers might be your purrfect match? Come meet him and see if sparks fly. Your February love story could start with a purr, a lap nap, and just the right amount of spice.

I’m Swiffer, January’s Cat of the Month. I’m a big, handsome boy with a big personality and an even bigger appreciation for boundaries. At almost 4 years old, I know what I like, what I don’t, and I’m not afraid to let you know.

I’m looking for a very specific kind of person—someone who’s cat-savvy, great at reading body language, and totally on board with living in a calm, low-key home. I’ll be great if I’m your one and only animal companion, with no other cats, dogs, or small children competing for my space. Quiet vibes only, please. I’ll be the perfect roommate, keeping to myself sometimes and hanging out at others. I’d be great company if you work from home, and might help keep you calm during stressful meetings.

I’m a chatty guy who enjoys expressing my opinions (often out loud) and loves vertical space. Cat trees, shelves, or any kind of “cat decoration” are a must—I appreciate a home that lets me climb, perch, and survey my kingdom. Once I feel secure, I’m playful, very food-motivated, and full of charm. Once you’re approved in my book, you’re always approved. I’m not judgmental; I just need a little time before I jump on your lap.

Like everyone with anxiety, I can be a little unsure in new environments, so I need someone patient who will let me settle in at my own pace and respect where I’m at along the way. In return, you’ll get a loyal, entertaining companion with enough personality to fill your whole home. I love toys, so I’ll let you know when I want to play.

Think you might be my perfect match? I’m ready to meet my person: experienced, understanding, and ready to love a cat who knows exactly who he is. Maybe we can learn how to combat anxiety together? If you think we could, fill out an Adoption Interest Survey!

Fento has been adopted! Here are a few cats still looking for their homes. Stay tuned for our next Cat of the Month! 

Every month, SAFE Haven features a special cat who deserves a little extra attention. If adopted, this sweetheart will come home with you, along with a special care package!

They call me Fento. Is that my real name? You’ll never know. I’m a cat of mystery and… secrets. To the uninitiated, I appear to be an ordinary, albeit extraordinarily handsome, feline. In truth, I am far, far more than meets the eye. I’ve lived many lives in many places, and I’m just getting started. My origins are murky, even to me. Legend has it that I was born to a beautiful but complicated stray named Belladonna. Though an accomplished singer and chessmaster, she found herself unable to keep her litter after my father left her, heartbroken, to return to his one and only true love- the sea. I never knew my father, but I’ve been told I inherited my supernumerary teeth from him. You heard that right, I have not one but two extra teeth. While I am a cat-of-the-world, I have but two weaknesses. The first is food. I have always been a gourmand despite my humble upbringing (I only eat wet food in order to keep my manly physique). The second is laps. I cannot resist a good snuggle, and I’m not embarrassed to say that, if the pets are top-notch, I’ve been known to drool a little. We all have our vices, no?

I currently reside at SAFE Haven for Cats while awaiting my next assignment. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is as follows:

1. Visit the Adopt section of our website. 
2. Fill out an Adoption Interest Survey and mention the codeword FENTO.
3. Wait for your approval email or follow-up phone call.
4. Once approved, come to 8431 Garvey Drive in Raleigh, Suite 137. Enter the lobby and ring the doorbell. When the operative (I mean Adoption Counselor) answers, tell them you’re here to see me. They’ll know what to do…
