Are you ready for a new pet?

SAFE Haven For Cats is a different kind of animal shelter. Our volunteers really get to know and love all of the cats that come into our care. Our volunteers name each cat and learn individual personality traits along with likes and dislikes.

Our adoption counselors are trained to interview adopters to assist in making the right match between adopter and cat. Adoption counselors learn about an adopter's lifestyle and home environment before suggesting cats that may make the best match.

Our 12 years' experience helps us recognize which cats need a quiet home, (away from other pets and children) and those that thrive in active play and companionship. Finding and making the right match is what makes us unique.

Because we always seek to make the best match, there is a possibility that the "right" cat may not be available at the same time you're hoping to adopt. Not to worry... each week additional cats become available for adoption. Together we will find the right cat for you!
