Purr-fect Last Minute Gift Ideas

Still on the hunt for the purr-fect gift? Let us help you!

Donate in Honor or Memory of a Loved One
Most people say they would rather have a charitable donation made in their honor than receive a gift that they wouldn’t use. So why not help save the lives of cats and kittens with a donation? When you donate to SAFE Haven in honor of a friend or family member, they’ll receive a personalized card informing them of your thoughtful gift.

Also, every donation made through the end of the year is now MATCHED! That means your gift will go even further!

It’s so easy! Just add your friend or family member’s contact information to the donation note along with your donation. Donate now!


Sponsor a Kitty
You can make a big difference in one of our kitties’ lives by sponsoring them until their fur-ever home is ready for them. Your donation covers food, care and medical costs during his or her time at SAFE Haven.

In return for your generosity, your name will be listed on your sponsored cat’s enclosure. You’ll also receive a photo and get a notification when your cat has found its family.

Click here to sponsor a cat yourself or sponsor in the name of your loved one.

Be Safe this Season

If you’re decorating your house, remember that some holiday classics can be dangerous for your kitty! That includes tinsel and ribbon, which can be dangerous if eaten, and plants that can be toxic. That includes holly, mistletoe and poinsettias.


All They Want for Christmas is You

Considering expanding your family this season? Our kitties at SAFE Haven are ready to find their fur-ever home. Here are a few resources to help you plan your perfect gift:

Did you know you can pay for a pet’s adoption fee? That gives your loved one or friend the chance to find their purr-fect match and still allow you to give the gift of furry friendship.
