Meow-some Mondays

We’re about to make Mondays Meow-some!

While normally, SAFE Haven’s adoption center is closed on Mondays, for a short time, we’re offering Monday adoptions by APPOINTMENT ONLY on September 11, 18, and 25 between 1-3 p.m.

Here’s how you take advantage of this opportunity:

    • Meet the cats that we have available for adoption.
    • Fill out our Adoption Interest Survey and in the box under Any additional comments or questions?, tell us you’d like to come during Meow-some Mondays.
    • If an appointment is available, our amazing adoption counselors will reach out to you to schedule one.
    • Appointments are up to 45 minutes long, during which you can meet 2-3 cats.
    • Don’t forget to bring your cat carrier! We offer carriers for sale but encourage you to bring a carrier with you. We know you’ll fall in love with someone here at the shelter. Space is limited – only 3 per Monday – and appointments are first come, first served, so please act fast to make sure you got one of our Monday spots to start your week off with a furry friend!

Prefer to walk in? We’re still available for walk-in adoptions Tuesday – Saturday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

It’s a Kitty Convoy!

It’s a Kitty Convoy!

10-4, we got us a kitty convoy!

7 cats made the long haul drive – almost 500 miles – from the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City all the way to Raleigh to find them homes here in the South as part of the ASPCA Animal Relocation Program.

Partnerships like ours with the ASPCA ensure we can ensure cats in overcrowded can live their best lives in safe, loving homes.

After physicals to make sure they’re in tip-top shape and some time to adjust to North Carolina life, these kitties are ready for adoption!

Hammer down and come by SAFE Haven to meet one of these sweeties:

Watch these kitties arrive at SAFE Haven.

Why did you choose SAFE Haven for Cats as your next job?
Everyone on the team clearly loves their job and is dedicated to the mission. I wanted to help contribute to the good works SAFE has been doing over the years.

What are you looking forward to as a new employee of SAFE Haven?
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone involved with making SAFE Haven the phenomenal shelter it is and helping SAFE continue to thrive and expand.

What do you love about cats?
I love their personalities and their companionship.

Do you have a cat?
I have an 11-year-old, long-haired Tortie named Meeko – her true passions are hoodie strings and giving head bonks for attention.

What do you like to do in your free time?
I love making stained glass and fiber art, reading, caring for my house plants, and checking out new coffee shops and bakeries with friends. I’m always looking for book recommendations, so please send yours along!

 

The Purr Cup Cafe Scrapbook

The Purr Cup Cafe Scrapbook

Since they started in October 2020, Purr Cup Cafe has helped to find homes for 279 cats and counting! Here’s a look back at some of the cats who have gotten to call the cat room their temporary home.

The Triangle’s first cat cafe, they chose SAFE Haven to partner with and our cats are the featured residents and cuddlers. When you reserve time in the cat room, you can get to know our special kitties while enjoying a cup of joe or yummy matcha latte.

We’re so grateful for all they do and proud to continue our partnership. Visit their website for complete details on their hours, special events and how to book your time in the cat room.

1300 and Still Counting!
SAFE Haven is adopting out cats at a record pace and Wayne Whiskers was number 1,300 of 2023! A special mature kitty, Wayne came to us from a colony in Knightdale. A SAFE Haven champion found him and knew we could help him. Thanks to medical care and love from our awesome foster Jacqui, Wayne – now known as Cheddar – found a wonderful home. Read his story and learn more about how you can become a SAFE Haven foster to help kitties like this one!

 

 

 



Shout Outs

Thank you to John Alan Barrie from Troop 141 in Rolesville, who completed his Eagle Scout project and helped the cats at SAFE Haven all at the same time! John and others from Troop 141 delivered 12 amazing cat trees that are super safe and sturdy for kitties who love to jump. We appreciate everyone who worked to make this project a success!

 

 

 

 

 

A BIG thank you to HireLevel for naming us their charity of the month! Not only did members of HireLevel get to come and present a check – they got to experience the adorableness of our cats firsthand.
