This beautiful ginger-white lady was unceremoniously dumped with her four kittens in a cat box just outside the gate of Haven in May 2021. No note, no explanation, no knock on the door to explain — just left there.

Despite the fact that we were literally overloaded with cats and kittens, we took them in. Rosie moved into the cat/kitten room and had her own space to care for her babies until they were weaned from her milk and ready to explore their own in the kitten apartment.

Today, Rosie is a young adult cat about 2 1/2 to 3 years old. She has a quieter, gentler demeanor compared to some of our “angels” in the Haven. She has lived with us for over a year now. We thought we had found her an adopter, but unfortunately circumstances changed and it just wasn't good timing to move forward.

So Rosie waits for an offer of a forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, has had her standard cat vaccines and the one against rabies.

When she leaves the Haven she will do so with her original certificate from the laboratory confirming the results of her blood test for rabies.

It's hard to know whether Rosie has ever owned a house before or not; we tend to think not. She is litter box trained and we expect she would do well in homes, both as an only cat (with appropriate human attention) and in a home with other cats. Homes with respectful children would also be considered.

Rosie geniet van menselijke aandacht. Ze is het soort kat dat als er een groep is, ze niet vooraan zal staan om het uit te zoeken, maar als je comfortabel in je eentje zit, zal ze je opzoeken. We kunnen haar gemakkelijk ’s avonds zien opkrullen met haar adoptant bij de televisie, een boek of gewoon een knuffelsessie.

As Rosie has now remained safe in the Haven and its fully secure gardens, we would ask her to maintain that level of security in her forever home.

Either adopted to someone with a fully cat-protected garden or catio, or kept as an indoor/house cat. Many of our indoor cat adopters have also had success teaching our cats to walk on a leash, if that is something that interests her adopter (and Rosie).

But feel free to send me a message too for questions about this and Safe Haven Egypt in general.

This sweet and friendly short-haired girl is now between one and two years old. She was one of three kittens that Koky found abandoned outside her home in July 2021 and has been on our site for over a year without a single adoption proposal.

We don't know her history or what happened to her during those first two months of her life, or why or how she ended up next to Koky's house. What fortunate circumstances that she landed on her feet close to Koky!

Pudding is a playful and friendly young cat with beautiful eyes. She gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs. We expect she would do well in most households, including those with respectful children. She has never had her own “people” and we expect her to bond with her new person/people.

Like all our cats, Pudding is sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies (with her original laboratory test certificate) and also against standard cat diseases. Any offer of adoption for her is subject to a successful video home check and an adoption fee that includes everything, including the flight to Western Europe.

Please note that Pudding must be an indoor/domestic cat, or if allowed outside, in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fencing) or catio. Pudding has lived the vast majority of her life in complete safety and we want to ensure that this level of safety is maintained. She will not understand that vehicles pose an immediate danger.

We believe cats can live happy, fulfilled lives as indoor cats as long as they get the right level of play, stimulation, one-on-one time, etc.
