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!

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…
