Join Our Life-Saving Team of Volunteers!

At SAFE Haven for Cats, volunteers are the heart of everything we do. It takes about 125 volunteers in 22 different shifts each week just to keep the cats clean, healthy, and purring with happiness! That’s where YOU come in!

Your time truly makes a difference. On average, our awesome volunteers donate about 14,000 hours of their time each year. That’s the equivalent of more than $350,000 in donated work! This generosity allows us to direct more funds toward life-saving medical care, cozy housing, and fun enrichment items for the cats in our care.

Whether you’re giving enrichment to our kitties, helping with adoptions, folding laundry, or greeting visitors with a smile, every task plays a vital role in saving lives. And we’re not just looking for help; we’re building a community. When you volunteer at SAFE Haven, you’ll meet fellow animal lovers, learn new skills, and make a real impact, one paw at a time. There are so many fun and meaningful ways to get involved, and we’ll help you find the perfect fit. No matter your schedule or experience level, there’s a place for you here. Come be part of something special. Join us in creating a safer, brighter future for cats in need.

Foster Program Overview
Foster families provide short-term care for cats in their homes. The most common reasons for foster care are (a) kittens that are too young to be sterilized and adopted, (b) cats that need socialization or behavior modification and (c) cats that need a break from the shelter. By offering your time, love and attention, you prepare your foster cat for adoption into a permanent, loving home. Last year hundreds of cats and kittens were saved thanks to the volunteer efforts of SAFE Haven for Cats’ foster families. Learn more about our foster program.
