In addition to providing adoption services for cats and kittens in need of good homes, we also manage a foster program for animals requiring a little extra love and care. We further assist our community in providing feline spay and neuter services in connection with SAFE Care Feline Spay Neuter Clinic.

THE CATS NEED YOUR HELP

Announcing Automatic Bank Drafts

Donate Animal Shelter Automatic Bank Draft

Today’s tough economy is having an impact on the cats. The reality finds fewer cats adopted and more abandoned at our door, or returned when household finances worsen.

We are currently caring for over 100 cats daily. The most in the 15 year history of SAFE Haven. And, honestly, we do not have enough funds to keep up with demand.

Just a small monthly automatic bank draft from from your checking account will make a big difference in the lives of cats waiting for their forever home. Won't you please sign up today! All it takes is a simple authorization form and a voided check.

FEATURED CAT

Jacey

I am a striking black and white female who is curious, alert and loving. I was abandoned by my former companions. That hurt my feelings and I’m not sure why because I am as sweet as I am pretty. If you stop by to meet me, I'll leap into your arms and give you a big hug. I’m an optimistic gal who's focusing on the future not the past. I’m ready to go with you now to my always home, which I know will be even better than I can imagine.
