Rye

This is an adopted cat

A boy who was a skinny little rascal well on his way to dying on the streets, like so many others, was Rye. We suspect that Rye was an ex-house cat.

But now he is a Havenkat. And is in much better shape.

When he arrived in Haven he was very reserved, broken.

Focus was on his physical well-being, making sure he had good food and the necessary medical treatment.

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

He is estimated to be 2 to 3 years old. (September 2024).

Rye has regained his trust in people thanks to the good care and he started to show his sweet personality.

Today he loves to be carried around like a teddy bear by Koky, the founder of SHE, and he even posed like a pro during his photoshoot!

Rye is a gentle cat who gets along well with both people and other animals in the shelter.

The transformation Rye has undergone is remarkable in every way. Just look at this beautiful ginger cat! With his thick, fluffy coat and gorgeous brown eyes, he has become a real beauty.

Rye is looking for a safe forever home. A balcony with cat netting or enclosed garden would be great.

What he needs most of all is a new family that will not abandon him again.

Is that you? – Take a look our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to ask questions.

You're not Rye's new best friend? Maybe you know someone else who has that potential? – Sharing is caring!

The young cat was found in a cardboard box on the street with her kittens. It is unclear whether they were dumped in the box or whether the cat chose it as a place to give birth. However, it is very clear that she is an abandoned house cat, because she is extremely trusting.

A kind person picked up the mother and her kittens and brought them to the Haven. Unfortunately, none of the babies made it.

The mother cat survived, but lost an eye due to a severe infection. The infection was treated and she was also de-fleaed, de-wormed, vaccinated, sterilized and chipped.

It is anticipated that Beauty will undergo surgery to close the eye socket to prevent the risk of a possible future infection.

In the SHE community there is a tradition: the first sponsor of a newcomer gets to choose a name. This sponsor gave her the name “Beauty”!

Beauty is now about a year and a half old and much more than a beauty!

What makes this fluffy tuxedo cat a dream cat is her personality. Koky, the founder of SHE, describes her as “super, super, super friendly”.

When you look at the pictures, you can see Beauty's affection for people in the look of her one eye! Beauty is good with everyone, … with respectful children, with cat-friendly dogs and with her own kind.

Who wants to give our cute pirate girl a loving forever home?

Beauty can travel to the EU, the UK, Canada and the US. Under certain conditions, she can also be placed in Switzerland. She has her vaccination booklet and an official rabies titer certificate with her.

Dougal

This is an adopted cat

Who can resist these amber eyes?
That irresistible look belongs to the handsome Dougal!

A neighbor of Safe Haven Egypt (SHE) had two cats. One day a moving van arrived.

Koky, the founder of SHE, approached the movers to ask the neighbor if she wanted to take her cats with her. Unfortunately, in Cairo, pets are often treated like toys: when they have had their day, they are thrown away. The neighbor assured that she would keep the cats.

The next day Koky found the two completely terrified animals on the street, ... as if she suspected it! Because indoor cats are definitely not made for the street, she took them both to the Haven.

Dougal is about a year and a half old and – just like his former roommate Saffron – a typical domestic cat.

He is very trusting, friendly and loves human affection. In the Haven he also gets along well with his peers and the shelter dog.

Because Dougal and Saffron grew up together, they are ideal for a double adoption. They have already been socialized together and are therefore also suitable for less experienced adopters.

However, Dougal can also do without his friend Saffron be adopted, because the two are not dependent on each other.

Dougal has always been an indoor cat and enjoyed the safety of the Haven after his heartless owner abandoned him. Therefore, he should never be kept as a free-ranging outdoor cat, like our other rescued animals.

Are you already enchanted by this charmer?

Like all SHE cats, Dougal has been neutered, deflead, dewormed, chipped and vaccinated. It can fly to Europe, Canada and the US.

He has his vaccination passport and an official veterinary certificate of his active protection against rabies.

More information about Our adoption procedure can be found here.

Saffron

This is an adopted cat

Saffron is a two-year-old tortoiseshell cat with amber eyes and is looking for her forever human!

She is one of two cats left behind by the neighbor of Safe Haven Egypt (SHE) when she moved to a new apartment.

Fortunately, Koky found the cats in time and brought them to the Haven. Saffron and Dougal are typical indoor cats; they are friendly, affectionate and enjoy human company.

Saffron in particular is even more cuddly than her buddy Dougal – she is a real lap cat! The two get along well with the other cats in the Haven and even with the resident dog, Hope.

If you would like to adopt Saffron and there are no other cats in your household, please ask if handsome Dougal is still available. Saffron and Dougal grew up together, making them ideal for a double adoption. However, Saffron can also be adopted individually, as neither she nor Dougal are dependent on each other.

Saffron is an indoor cat and should remain so. She has enjoyed the safety of the Haven and has no desire to go outside. Of course, this does not mean that she cannot go outside on a well-secured balcony or in a cat-proof garden.

All SHE cats are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and treated against fleas and worms. They can fly to Europe, Canada or the United States, accompanied by their vaccination details and certified rabies certificate.

If you are interested in adopting Saffron or one of our other cats, you can find more information about the adoption procedure here.

Please feel free to contact us with us if you have any questions.

Cupcake

This is an adopted cat

Cupcake is a beautiful Egyptian Mau and ex-street cat who was rescued by Safe Haven Egypt in June 2023. She was very shy at the time, but has developed into a very friendly and social cat.

Safety and health are priorities at Safe Haven Egypt. That is why Cupcake has received her basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. She has also been microchipped, dewormed and treated against fleas.

Cupcake is litter box trained. She has also been spayed, a preventative measure to avoid unwanted kittens.

At Safe Haven Egypt we believe that our cats deserve the best care, so we ask that our cats be kept as indoor cats. Cupcake could come out in a catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

Since she was a kitten in June 2023, she is now almost 1 year young.

Cupcake has proven that she gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs, making her a great addition to a household with other pets.

She loves to be picked up and cuddled, although she is not necessarily a shoulder cat. She tends to follow you around.

Upon adoption, Cupcake comes with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all necessary documentation. We ask potential adopters to our adoption procedure to read. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Cupcake is waiting for a loving and caring home. Are you the right person to give it to her?

Snowflake

This is an adopted cat

Our calico cat Snowflake with the emerald green eyes is pure love!

Snowflake was found in the fall of 2022, when she was still a kitten. Koky, the founder of Haven, took her home.

After receiving all her vaccinations, Snowflake was allowed to go to the Haven, where she continues to wait for her own loving family.

Snowflake is now almost 2 years old and has not seen anything other than the shelter. She's the kind of cat who greets you loudly when you come home, who jumps into your lap for cuddles and rubs her cheek against yours.

In short: she is a real cuddly toy!

If you have enough time and space to give Snowflake the attention and cuddles she needs, then you are the right person for her.

She will give you so much love in return!

Like all SHE cats, Snowflake is sterilized, deflead, dewormed, chipped and fully vaccinated. She can fly to Europe, Canada and the United States and of course travels with a negative rabies certificate and all necessary documents.

For SHE, the safety of their rescued cats is their top priority. Therefore, our relocated cats are not allowed to roam freely in unsecured outdoor areas.

Isaac

This is an adopted cat

This is Isaac. A classic SHE cat.

Early March 2022. Message from Koky, founder of Safe Haven Egypt, in the SHE Facebook group. – Her phone is never silent with requests to rescue cats in need.

This time 3 blind young cats. – Requests for donations to save them. That succeeds. – Isaac also has a sponsor, a name now, and a future.

Isaac is terrified when he arrives in Haven. But he will soon learn that Haven is a safe place.

He received the necessary medical care in addition to food, safety and love. His eyes where beyond saving.

Isaac received vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Microchip and castration. He uses the litter box. His eyes have been removed and the eye sockets are closed.

Isaac has no known medical problems.

We estimate him to be 3 years old. Isaac is a friendly boy. He tends to meow when he wants food or attention. Isaac is a ground cat. He doesn't want to be picked up and carried around.

Isaac likes to be caressed, also on his stomach. He is good with other cats.

The fact that he is blind should not stop anyone from going for Isaac.

A blind SHE cat like Isaac could quite possibly be the sweetest boy you will ever meet.

Who wants and can give Isaac a home? A safe home. – It seems obvious that Isaac should not be able to wander around freely, but we have to mention it.

Check it out our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us.

Kris Kringle

This is an adopted cat

This young man has already lost his home twice.

The handsome longhair was first admitted to Safe Haven Egypt (SHE) in November last year after being left at the gate of the Haven. Without a doubt, he was a domestic cat and was cared for before his family decided they didn't want him anymore.

This young man had a lucky accident by being admitted to the Haven. He was sponsored by supporters and given the name Kris Kringle because of the Christmas season. He is neutered, chipped and fully vaccinated.

At the end of December, SHE found a new home for Kris Kringle on site in Cairo. Unfortunately, this time his luck did not last long, because his owner developed an allergy and returned him to the Haven in January of this year.

So Kris Kringle is looking for a new home and a new family again! Hopefully he finds his forever home this time!

He is about 3 years old and gets along well with other cats. Kris Kringle is a cuddly cat. He is friendly, easy going.

He is also a calm cat. Which makes it also suitable for older people.

Who can give Kris Kringle his deserved "furrrever home"?

He can fly to Belgium or the Netherlands. Of course he travels with a negative rabies certificate and all necessary documents.

Under no circumstances should Kris Kringle be allowed to run loose, even in a quiet residential area. We want him to have a long, happy and safe life ahead of him.

He should be kept as an indoor cat, but a catio is fine or going outside in a completely cat-proof garden (with special fencing) would be welcome. Some of our adopters who don't have a cat-safe outdoor space have successfully trained their cats to walk with a cat harness, so that's also an option.

If you are interested in our cats, you can find more information about the procedure here.

Do not hesitate to contact us for questions or an adoption application.

Honey

This is an adopted cat

Our little red and white blind boy Honey is growing up fast!

In June last year, he was admitted to Safe Haven Egypt (SHE) as a small, half-starved kitten along with his one-eyed sister Mabel. Since then he has developed very well.

His tricolor sister Mabel has already received an adoption offer; now Honey is waiting for his own special family.

Honey is now (almost) 1 year young (estimated; born May 2023) and enjoying his life in the Haven's penthouse apartment with the other lively young kittens. His handicap is absolutely no problem for him during the sometimes wild games. On the contrary, he enjoys the company of his feline friends and is very playful, just like any other young cat.

Honey is not only very social with his cat friends, but also loves people. He likes human attention. He enjoys cuddling, which currently comes right after play.

Honey is suitable for adopters who have no previous experience with disabled pets. This is because only people consider blind cats to be disabled.

Adopters receive many tips from our experts – especially as part of the home inspection – on how to deal with blind cats. Of course, potentially dangerous places in the household must be secured.

Honey is ready to fly, which means he has been neutered, received his anti-flea treatment, dewormed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. He can fly to Europe and of course travels with a negative rabies certificate and all necessary documents.

At the end of June 2024 he was tested for FIV/FeLV and was negative.

SHE attaches great importance to the safety of its rescued cats. Therefore, their cats are not allowed to roam freely. This goes without saying for blind cats! Of course, they would be happy with a fully secured balcony or a cat-friendly garden.

Would you like to offer Honey a home? – Then take a look at our oour adoption procedure. – And don't hesitate to contact us.

Kim

This is an adopted cat

Kim on the street.
The message that brought her to attention

A video of an apparently paralyzed cat has been making the rounds on Facebook among those rescuing cats in Cairo.

This young cat was able to find her way to Haven and was named Kim.

Thanks to the good care received, Kim made a full recovery. She no longer has any problems walking and has no medical problems.

Kim is now estimated to be 10 months old. She is very friendly and affectionate.

Like all SHE cats, Kim has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Anti-worm treatment, anti-flea treatment.

She has been spayed and sterilized. Kim understands and applies the concept of the 'litter box'.

As a resident of Haven, Kim lives with many other cats. And there are also some cat-friendly dogs there. So she can be kept in her adoptive family with other cats and dogs. Kim also gets along well with children.

As an ex-street, it is our greatest wish that this remains the case. Kim must be an indoor cat. There are no safe, quiet streets. Cats are also killed in 'quiet residential areas'.

It is also an option to secure an outdoor area so that a cat cannot escape. That's not easy, but it is possible. Or a cat run, to build a 'catio'.

Who wants to give this beautiful semi-longhaired calico cat a home?

Is that you? – Then check out our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us contact.
