For the safety of our community, SAFE Haven for Cats will be closed for adoptions and to volunteers from noon on Thursday, September 13th through Sunday, September 16th.

Please stay safe and be smart in the coming storm!

While we’re closed to the public, we are still working to save North Carolina’s cats, and our staff will work all weekend to give cats a safe harbor during the storm.

Last night, our team went to Zebulon to pickup 20 cats fleeing the potential destruction on the Outer Banks. As an official Humane Society of the US Emergency Placement Partner, we expect to bring in more cats in the weeks to come.

The group from the Outer Banks include a mommy and three kittens plus a litter of six kittens by themselves. It is only with the support of our donors and volunteers that we have the flexibility and resources to act – less than 24 hours in this case – and save lives.

We need your help to prepare for whatever comes our way. Please consider making a donation so we can give Carolina cats a safe place in the storm.

Time and time again, you amaze us with your kindness, support and love.

On Saturday, our community brought home 42 beautiful cats during WRAL’s Clear the Shelters event. It was incredible.

But we both know there are more lives to be saved.

Each cat who found a home last Saturday represents $105 in adoption fees and microchipping costs that were waived. By sponsoring this cost, you are helping fund the attention, medical care and love that our volunteers and staff have given that cat, preparing it for a loving family and stable life and helping the next one get adopted, too!

Now we need your generosity.

With the 42 cats adopted this weekend, we’re asking you to match the love of the people who adopted the cats with dollars. This week, we’re trying to raise $4,410 ($105 for each cat adopted) to fund the adoptions during the Clear the Shelters event. Can’t donate $105? Please know that any amount is very helpful and appreciated!

Help the kitties by making a donation of $105 today.

We’re blown away by our community.

Our supporters turned out in DROVES. We adopted 42 cats this weekend as part of WRAL’s Clear the Shelters event. This was in addition to the 20 cats that found homes during the week! It sure is quiet around here!

So many people opened their hearts to our cats and we couldn’t be more thankful for their kindness and love.

Now we need your generosity.

We participated in the Clear the Shelters event to be part of something bigger for shelter animals across the country. We did not receive a single penny for participating in the event. Going into the day we knew this because finding homes for cats was always our #1 goal. It’s our mission. It’s why we get up every day!

With the 42 cats adopted this weekend, we’re asking you to match the love of the people who adopted these cats with dollars.

This week, we’re trying to raise $4,410! That is the amount of adoption fees that were waived on Saturday ($105 per cat)!

Help Us Continue Our Mission – Make a donation of $105 today.
