Mariette

May 2023. – A video is making the rounds on Facebook of a pitiful pile of cats in Cairo infested with flies and with a badly inflamed mouth. – It's the kind of video that makes you want to reach through the screen to help that creature. (video somewhere below)

Sint Koky acted. – The pile of misery came to Haven and was given the name Mariette.

Some cats in this situation don't make it. – Mariette made it.

We suspect that Mariette was born around March 2023. - So she is now 1 year old. Mariette has become a beautiful calico cat. There's nothing wrong with her. But the experience on the street has not made her social.

Mariette is not wild. But 'shy'. Currently, she can only be touched to a very limited extent by a trusted human.

This may change. Shy cats can become very affectionate cats who want nothing more than to cuddle. – But that is certainly not certain. A cat like Mariette needs love and patience. But also respect for the boundaries that Mariette sets. Forcing it is certainly not a good idea.

Mariette has no problems with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

Like all SHE cats, it has been sterilized. Has received a Rabies vaccination and basic vaccination against common cat diseases. An anti-worm treatment and anti-flea treatment. She is litter box trained.

The last thing we want is for a SHE cat to end up back in danger from the streets. Mariette must be an indoor cat. Or have a garden that she can't get out of.

Who can give our miracle cat a home? – A home with sweet attention. With acceptance that Mariette may never be a cuddle cat.

Please read our adoption procedure Please. And don't hesitate to contact us for questions or an offer to share your home with Mariette.

Meet Tiki, a special resident of Safe Haven Egypt. This handsome young man, about a year old, is enjoying his life in Haven despite the challenges he has faced.

Before arriving at Haven, he dragged himself through the streets of Cairo.

Tiki is a social cat, he gets along well with other cats and dogs. He even has the ability to climb stairs and can take himself to high places despite his physical challenge.

Pere Noel

A few days before Christmas a cat was found and taken to Haven
brought. He was a house cat who had been put out on the street by his previous owners.

The cat was named Pere Noel. According to estimates, he is
a 2 to 3 year old.

Despite his past, Pere Noel is a very friendly cat who likes to cuddle.

He is a Safe Haven Egypt cat, which means he has received all necessary vaccinations, including those against common cat diseases and rabies. Pere Noel is also chipped, dewormed and treated against fleas. He is house trained and neutered.

Pere Noel is positive for FIV, but we are confident that this will not affect her love for you.

If cats interact peacefully with each other, the risk of infection is very low. And keeping Amber alone is also an option.

FIV cats should only live indoors and benefit from a good diet and a stable routine.

If you want to read more about 'living with an FIV cat; ' This is a Dutch-language Facebook group for people with an FIV cat and this is a similar English speaking group. – Also read the 'info sheet FIV' at the bottom of this message.

At Safe Haven Egypt, the safety of our cats is our top priority. Therefore, we ask that Pere Noel remains indoors unless he has access to a catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

Upon adoption, Pere Noel will travel with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all associated documentation.
