Adopted our baby on our first visit to Safe Haven 4 Cats after running around the town and visited other adoption centers over 6 times. We had to wait for 45min before entering, and the wait was so worth it. They do it so cats don’t get overwhelmed by the crowds and they make sure you can take your time and have opportunities to play with the cats. Vicky is extremely helpful and sweet, she introduced every single adoptable cat there and you can just tell that she loves every single of them. She knows their personalities, she knows how long they have been there, and she answers every question you have about each cat. They set up play rooms where you can meet the cat, you get sanitized before entering the room. They taught all kittens so well, you just know that they are loved, and they are affectionate towards humans. After visiting almost all shelters around Raleigh area, I would say I had the best experience here. Not to mention you can bring your baby home right after deciding to adopt them, the whole process is smooth and fast. Vicky stayed overtime for us since we were the last visitors, and we really appreciate her patience and everything this shelter has done to help those angels🐈🐈🐈

I had such a wonderful experience at Safe Haven this week. I went looking for an adult cat and was kindly greeted and helped by volunteer Peggy who introduced me to the sweetest and fluffiest girl that I got to take home the same day! The staff and volunteers care so much about the cats and are very knowledgeable and thorough. The process was pretty seamless and I was impressed with how clean and well-run the shelter was. 100% recommend for adopting a kitty or adult cat for there!

This company is run by the human equivalent of cat litter. Maybe don't just outright tell people you're going to euthanize the defenseless stray cats that you claim to be a "safe haven" for.

Tieli Nolti, you can find her on Facebook. She is a foster for Wake Gov Pets, Wake County Animal Care. Google : Friends of Wake County Animal Center 820 Beacon Lake Dr. They foster animals until they are adopted.

My Mom has a mother cat and two kittens that are hanging around her house. I do not want to take them to a 72 hour shelter. If I could catch them is there anyone who would work with them to get them more domesticated and adopted?

Safe haven is a good place we work with cats to get them to a good home just call our number and we will tell you more call around 1:30 we will assist you with information and what to do

My wife and I have 2 cats we can’t keep anymore, can we bring them to you guys? Or do you have a suggestion of another place we can take them?

Pastor Jeff Crain | Sep 22, 2019
Porfirio Morales | Sep 22, 2019

I do not think they accept them, my son and I took a cat we had and they told us to take her to the shelter of Wake county in Raleigh.

Do you accept donations of prescription meds? I have 22 amoxicillin trihydrate and clavulanate potassium tablets 62.5 mg--unopened, sealed in original foil packet. My cat cannot take them. I would to help another pet by donating them.

Karen Dean | Sep 22, 2018

They have in the past. Call or send an email to info at safehavenforcats.org with the details and someone will respond about current practice/policy.

Our neighbors abandoned their cat a few years ago & we have been feeding her. She has had 3 litters that we know of. We took in 2 from her last litter but she is pregnant again & so is her daughter. Can Safe Haven help?

Hana Monroe | Sep 22, 2018
William Whittington | Sep 22, 2018

yes they can, call them and explain what is going on.

Does Safe Haven take cats that are blind? Would they euthanize a cat for being blind?

Marlene Brotherhood | Sep 22, 2018
Scott Stein | Sep 22, 2018

I think they would take blind cats and they would do a great job at finding them good homes. Our cat was rescued from Puerto Rico after the horrible hurricanes this year. Safe Haven took him in and they brought him back to good health. We love him.

Do you all take in kittens? I have been feeding 4 kittens where I keep my horse. The residents don't want the kittens to stay there. Thank you

i need help finding a home for my cats. i originally had two and was wanting one litter. i am a big animal lover and my finances did not work where i could get them fixed fast enough. now i have way too many. is there someone who can help?

TJ Johnson | Jul 23, 2022
Outcast Sikeman | Jul 23, 2022

Go to the safe Haven website I believe there is a section for something of that nature, or if nothing else just call him and ask Good luck

Would it be possible to froster a cat temporarily? Until we have a home? I don’t want them to be adopted or anything. It because our relatives are allergic where we are staying.

Do I need to bring a cat carrier if I am adopting Do they let you take the animal home the same day

Dawn Brodeur8 | Sep 21, 2020
Amanda Knight | Sep 21, 2020

its a good idea to bring a carrier - they typically let you take home same day after payment and paperwork of course

Grandson allergic to cats severely, need good home food cat😫

Allysa Thomas | Sep 21, 2020

Angiee if you have the Nextdoor app, you can brodcast out a message to your neighborhood that you're looking to re-home your cat. It's a really handy app to have : ) Edit* Looks like I wrote over my previous comment : \
