Eira

This is a adopted cat

Eira with her kittens in the 'pet shop', April 2022

We know street cats. People who dump their pet cats too. But that wasn't Eira. Eira comes from a pet shop.

An Egyptian pet shop. And that is different from what you and I think of when we think of 'pet store'. Eira was a domestic cat with five kittens. Her owner took her to such a pet store.

Koky – the manager of Safe Haven Egypt – received a message about this cat family present in a notoriously terrible pet store. That was because someone asked the owner of the store to put the cats in the shade and give them food and water. The store manager was not motivated to do anything.

We managed to get the cats released. But not in time to save one of the kittens who had died from deprivation.

Eira has now been in Haven for over 1.5 years. We estimate that she is now a 3 year old.

Despite her tough life, Eira is an extremely friendly, affectionate cat. She is also a calm cat.

Eira is good with other cats and also with dogs. She would also fit well in a family with children.

The first sponsor gets to name a new cat and so we learn that Eira is Welsh for 'snow'.

She has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases and Rabies, flea control and deworming treatment. She is chipped and sterilized. And is litter box trained.

Eira is ready to start the next phase in her life and is looking for an adopter. Somewhere where she can find the same safety and well-being as she now has in Haven. And so she must have an indoor cat life or, if she can, go outside in a very safe enclosed garden.
