Hello – Can You Help?

Hello – Can You Help?

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.

 

You Made Our Cats So HAPPY!

You Made Our Cats So HAPPY!

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.

Message from Pam Miller, Founder & President:

“A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir – a constant source of energy, determination and kindness.” – 14th Dalai Lama

I love this quote because it is such an accurate description of our no kill cat shelter! Because of the energy, determination and kindness of our many volunteers, adopters and donors, SAFE Haven is leading our community with solutions for cat overpopulation and unnecessary euthanasia.

I hope you will be very pleased with this report and the impact YOU have made possible this fiscal year.

Thanks to you, we adopted 864 cats and kittens this year. This is an increase of 39 over last year.

Through the SAFE Care Feline Spay/Neuter Clinic 2,958 cats have been sterilized. This is an increase of almost 1,100 (from last year) that will not be adding to our overpopulation problem. Most importantly, no one is every turned away from the SAFE Haven’s clinic because they don’t have enough money.

As a transfer partner with six local County Animal Shelters, we responded when overcrowding forced these agencies to start euthanizing for space. In response, we took 276 cats from these shelters, providing them with a chance at a life in a caring home.

We supported 111 families (feeding 287 cats and 118 dogs in the process) with food from our Pet Food Pantry (the only one in Wake County). These owners can provide the pets they love with a much better life because of you.

When hurricane disasters struck in the fall of 2017, SAFE Haven partnered with the Humane Society of the U.S. to take 47 stranded cats and kittens that were airlifted from the disaster areas in Florida and Puerto Rico. We would not be able to respond quickly to events like these without your compassionate support.

Through our TNVR assistance program, we sterilized 459 “community cats”, loaned countless traps and provided education and hands-on help to many colony caretakers.

As you can see, everyone involved with SAVE Haven is determined, has a lot of energy, and works to save lives every day. On the following pages you will read about our programs, services, and the many ways you can help. Please come and join us in this life saving work. We will be very grateful.

With appreciation for everything you do for the animals . . .

Sincere thanks,

Pamela Miller
Founder & President
