These cats have a potential adopter. – Are already in the 2nd phase of the adoption procedure. Have already successfully completed the 'home check' and have received permission from Safe Haven Egypt to adopt the cat in question. – It is still possible that something will go wrong and these cats will become available for adoption again. But that's not likely. – Look at the cats in the 'Adoptable cats' category for the cats that are still looking for an adopter.

Stevie

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Without speaking ill of the other cats at Haven….we have a very special cat on offer here!

Stevie arrived in Haven in March 2024. We estimate he was born around summer 2023. So he is just over a year old.

As you can see, he is an exceptionally handsome boy.

But his greatest asset is that he is extremely friendly. He is playful and very affectionate. He allows to be picked up.

Stevie's eyes have been removed. The fact that he is blind is really nothing to worry about. Yes, he will bump into everything at first. But very quickly, blind cats move with such confidence through spaces that you would think they can see.

He has received his basic vaccinations and his rabies vaccine. He has been dewormed and given the flea treatment. Stevie is microchipped and neutered.

And of course, litter box trained.

He would fit in well with other cats and cat friendly dogs. And certainly with children. That because he is very gentle. He is a very sweet boy.

Stevie has left the dangers of the streets of Cairo and paid the entrance fee to Haven with his sight. He has found safety now and it should stay that way. An adopter should be able to offer Stevie a safe living environment.

Therefore he must be an indoor cat. Or if he does go outside it must be in a controlled, secure manner. Stevie must never be allowed back on the streets.

Stevie has all the makings of someone's best friend. He needs a person who can appreciate the affection he can give and give him affection back.

Are you Stevie's person? – Read on our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us.

Travis

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Handsome Travis is looking for a forever home!

Unfortunately, the situation for cats in Egypt is still disastrous. People buy cats as toys for themselves and their children. Once they grow out of the cute kitten age or are no longer wanted for other reasons, they end up on the streets.

Our Travis was almost certainly a house cat. Because these cats have no chance to survive on the streets, Koky, the founder of SHE, took him in at Haven.

Travis is approximately 3 years old and is neutered and microchipped. He has received his basic vaccination and his rabies vaccination. He is microchipped and litter box trained.

Travis is a beautiful Blue Point with aqua blue eyes. His coat has been shaved but will grow back thicker.

He is very people-oriented and affectionate. He shows no aggression towards the other cats in the Haven and the two shelter dogs do not make him angry either.

Travis is an indoor cat only and will not be placed in a home where he has unsecured access to the outdoors.

Of course he would love the luxury of a balcony with a mesh screen, a cat enclosure or a secure garden, but these are not a must.

Anyone fall in love with this handsome boy?

See our adoption procedure. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Pablo

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

At the end of December 2023, Pablo came to the attention of someone who cared about Pablo's fate. He was in a very bad state at the time. Starving and weak. So weak that he could no longer really walk.

A message about Pablo on Facebook reached Haven and he was admitted.

Pablo recovered well with rest, safety and nutrition. Blood tests showed that he has kidney problems.

He needs special diet and medication. Pablo also has Cerebellar hypoplasia. A 'CH' cat. This is a developmental disorder of a part of the brain that causes control problems with movement.

Pablo was a street cat as he was found on the street. His age is uncertain but best estimate is that he is about 10 years old. He could be younger or older.

There are no street cats that are 10 years old. Pablo must have been a house cat that was no longer welcome. Putting him on the street should have been a death sentence for Pablo. If the miracle of being taken in at Haven did not happen.

Pablo is considerably older than most SHE cats. But still has many years to go. With good care.

Haven gives him a good start with the standard treatment;

He has received his vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Deworming and flea treatment. Is chipped and neutered.

Who can see beyond his age and his medical concerns? Does a Pablo have a chance with you? Please read our adoption procedure.

And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Nicky

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Our girl Nicky her story started on the streets, like most Haven cats. The life of a street cat is full of dangers. In her case the danger was a collision with a motorcycle.

Her back legs were broken and she also suffered paralysis in her rear end.

There was a woman who would sometimes give Nicky something to eat. She noticed the condition Nicky was in and contacted Haven to ask if they could help. – And they could.

Nicky has now had months to regain her strength. And recover. She has lost her left hind leg. Her paralysis has not improved. But it could have been worse.

Nicky is fortunately mobile. See the video below. She can use her right hind leg to stand up. This allows Nicky to use the litter box. So she is independent.

Nicky has now received her vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and Rabies. Has had anti-flea treatment and deworming treatment. And is also chipped and sterilized.

So now she has become a three-legged girl who has to rely on her front legs to get around. She can crawl onto a chair but otherwise stays at ground level.

Socially Nicky is a bit shy at first. But after a while when she knows you and knows you can be trusted she is friendly and you can touch her.

She is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

It seems obvious but we have to mention it; She must never be in danger again. Her adopter must be able to guarantee her a safe home.

If you would like to investigate whether adopting Nicky is an option, please take a look at our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us.

Nemr

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Last February, something very ordinary happened on the streets of Cairo. Dogs attacked a very young kitten.

However, this was a lucky thing for this kitten as he was spotted and ended up in Haven. His admission price was the lower part of his right front leg which could not be saved.

He was given good care and the name Nemr.

At first he was scared. Didn't want to be touched. Some cats stay scared their whole lives. Not Nemr.

He has now become a cat that demands human attention. He follows the shelter workers around hoping to get a pet. Which he does get, of course, although not all the time. There is a lot of work to be done in Haven.

Pet me, all day long!

Nemr is estimated to have been born around New Year's 2024. He is ready to leave for a new home.

And that means he is litter box trained. He has received his basic vaccinations, including rabies vaccination. He is also neutered and chipped and has received his deworming and anti-flea treatment.

The absence of his right hand is no obstacle for Nemr. Besides being affectionate towards people, Nemr is also a good friend towards other cats.

Nemr also has no problem with the sweet cat-friendly dog Hope who walks around among the cats.

We ask anyone who would consider giving Nemr a home to read the adoption procedure. Know that we attach great importance to a safe environment for our rescued ex-street cats. They should not be able to end up on the streets again.

And of course don't hesitate to contact us to contact for questions. This all runs on volunteers. Nothing is too much for us to give our cats a home.

Julie

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Julie is one of Haven's blind cats. She is 2 years old and has a gentle character.

She is good with other cats and friendly dogs, making her a great companion. Although she can be a bit shy when she first meets you, she quickly develops into a friendly and affectionate cat.

She needs some time to get used to new people, but once she gets comfortable she shows her loving nature.

A cat can adapt very well to blindness. Julie is therefore very independent. But an adopter should not forget that she is blind and take that into account.

She had eye surgery where her eyes were removed and closed. Despite this challenge, Julie adapts well and navigates her environment well.

Like all Safe Haven Egypt cats, Julie has received her basic vaccinations against common feline diseases and rabies. She is microchipped, dewormed and has undergone anti-flea treatment. Julie is litter box trained and has been sterilized.

Safe Haven Egypt ensures that all cats are kept in safe indoor environments and are not allowed to roam freely. Julie can go outside in one catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

When adopted, Julie travels with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all documentation of the cat.

We invite potential adopters to our adoption procedure to read. You can always contact us if you have any questions to contact us.

Julie is a special cat who deserves a loving and patient home. With the right care and attention she will certainly be an enrichment for her new family.

Zaynab

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Meet our sweet girl, Zaynab.

She must have been born around August 2022. So she is now 2 years old. (October 2024) Her name means “beauty”, “fragrant flower” or “grace”.

*Zeynab as found on the street, among garbage*

She was rescued on the street as a very young kitten, without a mother cat. Because of her age, she had to be bottle-fed. There is always a risk that these little ones will not survive, but Zaynab has grown into a kind and gentle girl.

Zaynab has a sweet character – not an in-your-face cat, but very grateful for human attention when it is offered. (See the video below, courtesy of our equally lovely Admin, Deborah Falcus).

Zaynab did not join the crowd of other cats that Deborah circled for attention on a recent visit. But when Deborah approached Zeynab she was happy with love. The only thing a little different about her is that she doesn't like dry food/kibble — so far she only eats wet food.

Maybe her new adopter can try some different flavors or options with her?

Because she was just a baby when she was rescued, the only home Zaynab has ever known is the Haven. She never had her own house, her own people. Given her temperament, we expect she would fit in well with most households, including those with other cats, with the cat-friendly dog and with respectful children.

Zaynab must be able to maintain the same level of safety in her forever home as she had in the Haven. This means that she either needs to be adopted by someone with a completely cat-proof yard (with the special fencing) or catio Either as an indoor cat/house cat.

We believe that with a few adjustments, such as daily playtime, indoor cats can live happy and content lives. Additionally, many of our adopters have had success training our cuties to go outside with a harness and leash, something that could be explored.

Zaynab is litter box trained. And like all our cats, she is sterilized, microchipped and vaccinated against standard cat diseases and rabies. If she travels, she will do so with her certificate from the laboratory that certifies her rabies blood test. She also has a negative FIV/FeLV test.

All adoption offers are subject to a successful home check (done via video call) and an adoption contribution. See page What is the adoption procedure at SHE?

If you think this young lady would be a good fit for your home and you are interested, then by all means, please contact us Contact.

We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours. If you have any questions about SHE, how adoption works with us, or how we work, please don't hesitate to contact us.
