Mitzi Rose

This is a adopted cat

Looking 'nice' is no guarantee not to be dumped on the street. Haven received a tip from a beautiful house cat, a Persian cat, that had been abandoned on the street. That is a difficult life for every cat. Such a beautiful cat wouldn't stay beautiful for long.

The foundling was given a place in Haven. And turned out to be pregnant. None of Mitzi Rose's kittens survived.

In the meantime, Mitzi Rose has been staying with us for 9 months. We estimate her to be approximately 3 years old. She is chipped and has had all her vaccinations, including rabies. Has undergone sterilization.

Deworming, flea treatment...and of course she goes on the cat couch like all cats.

Mitzi Rose may be a beautiful Persian cat, but she has more to serve than her appearance.

She is a friendly and affectionate cat who would do very well with (well-behaved) children.

Mitizi Rose is ready for the next step. This pretty girl is ready to leave for her golden basket.

Please know that all Safe Haven Egypt must live as indoor cats. Or need to have a safe complete garden or a catio. There are no 'quiet streets', safe neighborhoods. Mizi Rose lived in safe conditions and it should really remain that way.

Who's going to give her a chance? Is that you? – We would be happy to investigate that. A starting point is to take a look adoption procedure.

If these conditions sound like something to you or you have any questions... Please do not hesitate to contact us. We will assist you as quickly as possible with all kinds of pleasure.

Not actually looking for a cat right now? Understandable. It must fit your situation. Not an impulse decision. But maybe you know someone in your area who is looking for a boyfriend? – Sharing is caring!

Lucy

This is a adopted cat

This girl is another long-term resident of the Haven who has been overlooked for adoption until now.

Meet Lucy. It was the end of June 2021 when Koky first received a message about a blind kitten, alone, on the street. She was able to arrange for the little cat to be brought to the Haven and she has remained there ever since.

Lucy is estimated to be just over two years old at the time of this writing. Her eyes didn't have to be removed, but all she sees are shadows.

She is a gentle cat, friendly and good-natured. Lucy does well with other cats and with cat-friendly dogs. She has the kind of temperament that would fit well in quieter households, including those with respectful, gentle children.

With the exception of a few months before she arrived at our shelter, Lucy has always known the safety of the Haven, including the fully fenced yard.

She needs this kind of protection in her new home, either as a completely indoor kitten or with one catio or completely cat-proof garden with special fencing.

Lucy has been sterilized and chipped. She has also been vaccinated against rabies (with the required blood test) and has had her standard cat vaccines.

Would you give our beautiful, kind girl a forever home? She is ready to travel and has been for a long time.

If you want to offer Lucy a home take a look at our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us.

If you are not in a position to adopt at this time, would you please help us by sharing Lucy's profile? (share options at the bottom of this post)

Ariadne

At the end of March 2023, a message from a heavily infected cat in a local Facebook group of local cats in dire need reached Koky, the manager of Safe Haven Egypt.

Although Haven was and is still above capacity, that nameless cat was given a place. We couldn't save her eyes, but we could save the cat, water certainly doesn't always work.

Her sponsor gave her the name Ariadne and she is doing very well. The eyes are removed and closed. She has been sterilized and has received all her vaccinations. Goes in the litter box. She is good with other animals such as cats and cat-friendly dogs.

Ariadne is a calm cat who will do well with children. Ariadne is estimated to be two years old.

A blind cat is technically a disabled cat. But Ariadne doesn't know that. They are just cats through and through. And in many cases they are extra affectionate. It's really nothing to worry about.

All SHE cats must be kept indoors. Or in a very well-enclosed garden or in a cat run. A blind adopted cat has once been found on the street. We really don't want to experience that.

That is why there is a personal interview for prospective adopters via a video call to investigate whether the cat, candidate and expectations match each other.

See our about us page adoption procedure if you are thinking 'Yes, maybe... could I give Ariadne a place in my home?'

For questions…please ask them. do not hesitate. You certainly won't disturb me.

Or maybe you think... no, not with me... but I know that X is looking for a cat. Please share this with your circle of acquaintances.

Bob

Bob found his way to Haven two years ago as a young adult cat. As is so common with street cats, Bob had infected eyes. Such a cat has no chance of surviving on the street.

It was not possible to save Bob's eyes. Saving Bob himself was successful. He is healthy and his eye sockets are closed. Bob is an Egyptian Mau from Egypt itself.

“I'm Bob. Blind Bob.Many people think that blind cats need special care, but that is not the case. Every day I think that maybe today I will be adopted. I've been waiting for adoption in Haven for two years. I am three years old. I am one of the oldest cats in Haven. I'm afraid no one wants me. Koky says I am a good cat and whoever adopts me would be very lucky to get me.”
Bob via proxy by Koky

Bob is a sweet, affectionate boy who likes to follow you around. He likes to be carried. He is also a fan of cuddling.

Like all our cats, Bob has been sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies (with his original laboratory test certificate) and also against standard cat diseases. He is potty trained.

Given his gentle and friendly nature, we expect Bob will fit in well with most households, including those with respectful children. He should also do well in homes with other cats and a cat-friendly dog, provided proper introductions are made. Bob is a sweet boy who will not be limited by his disability.

Please note that Bob must be an indoor cat. What we hope is obvious. Going out is only possible in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) or a cat run.

If you are interested in offering Bob a home, check out our adoption procedure. If you have questions please contact us.

We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours.

Bluebell

In early March 2022, a group of young children brought this sweet girl to the Haven. They found her running and hiding from a pack of street dogs, terrified that they would hurt her. It was heartwarming to see a group of children come together to help an animal in need, so Koky happily obliged their request to bring the scared girl to the safety of the Haven.

She was named Bluebell and has blossomed during her stay with us. She is a friendly, healthy girl. She loves human company and gets along well with the other kittens in the Haven. She is a beautiful cat and we estimate her to be between 2-3 years old.

Like all our cats, Bluebell is sterilized, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies (with her original laboratory test certificate) and also against standard cat diseases. She is potty trained.

Given her gentle and friendly nature, we expect Bluebell to fit in well with most households, including those with respectful children. She should also do well in homes with other cats and a cat-friendly dog, provided proper introductions are made. Bluebell is such a beautiful and friendly cat – we can't believe she hasn't been adopted yet!

Please note that Bluebell must be an indoor cat. Or if she is allowed to go outside, only in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) or a cat run.

Bluebell has lived most of her life in complete safety. We want to ensure that this level of safety is maintained. She will not understand that vehicles pose an immediate danger.

We believe that cats can live happy and fulfilled lives as indoor cats as long as they get the right amount of play, stimulation, one-on-one time, etc. Our team can give you advice on furnishing your home with cats.

If you are interested in offering a home to Bluebell, check out our adoption procedure. If you have questions please contact us.

Myself or another member of our volunteer Admin team will do their best to contact you within 24 hours.

Azizi

Koky and the local team deal with so much heartache on a daily basis, much of which is not shown to SHE supporters. It is difficult to understand how they are able to carry on, to continue to help wherever and whenever possible. But every now and then there is a little miracle – a reminder that sometimes positive things can come from the most difficult or dire situations.

*Azizi released shortly after arriving in Haven*

Meet one of those little wonders. Azizi was born in late February/early March 2023 and then promptly thrown away by people – literally thrown in the trash, along with his brothers and sisters. Koky found it in the garbage can. Unfortunately, he was the only one of the little kittens still alive.

With such a young baby (eyes still closed) the chance of survival is not very high. But Azizi has a strong spirit, a will to survive. He accepted bottle feeding very well and by the time he opened his eyes he was eager to make new friends and explore.

Koky is the only mother who has ever known this young one. Azizi is a friendly, curious and outgoing cat who always greets visitors when they come to Koky's home. He has grown up with other cats, so we expect he would do fine in a multi-cat environment. He should also do well with respectful children.

As a young kitten, Azizi needs a lot of attention and playtime. Since he was saved as a little baby, all he has known is safety.

Azizi is not allowed to run loose under any circumstances, not even in a quiet residential area. Like many of our cats, he does not and will not understand the danger of vehicles. We want him to have a long, happy and safe life. Azizi must be an indoor cat, but one catio is fine or going outside in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) would be welcome. Some of our adopters who do not have a cat-safe outdoor space have successfully trained their cats to walk on a leash with a harness. So that is also a possibility.

That said, we believe that indoor cats can live fulfilled and happy lives with the right amount of attention, stimulation and involvement.

As a kitten, Azizi needs playtime every day.

Azizi is house trained, neutered, chipped and has had his vaccinations, including rabies. He travels with his original rabies test certificate and his vaccination record.

If you are interested in offering Azizi a forever home then take a look at our adoption procedure.

Do not hesitate to contact us. We will do our best to contact you within one day.

Walshie

This is a adopted cat

They say “3rd time's a charm”. We really hope this is the case for our handsome redhead boy Walshie. Through no fault of his own, Walshie has had a second adoption offer canceled and is back in a situation where he must find a forever home.

*Walshie in May 2022 when he was picked up by Koky*

Walshie is estimated to be about 1 1/4 years old at the time of this writing.

He has been in the Haven since late May 2022, when he was rescued as a kitten. Koky had an unplanned, urgent trip to the airport in the evening and happened to meet this guy at the top of a bridge on the highway. How he had managed to avoid being hit by a car was a miracle in itself.

Despite making other drivers a bit angry, Koky managed to pull the car over, rushed out to grab the kitten and returned to the car with him. He was weak from lack of food and especially water and drank most of Koky's water bottle when it was offered to him.

Today he is a healthy young cat. A gentle boy and very friendly. We expect him to fit in well with most households, including those with other cats, the occasional cat-friendly dog and also respectful children.

Walshie is house trained, neutered, microchipped and has had his vaccinations, including rabies. He travels with his original rabies blood test certificate and his vaccination record. It is ready to travel and can come to the UK, all of Europe, USA or Canada.

Please note that Walshie must be an indoor cat, or if he is allowed outside, in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) or a cat run. ( Catio )

He has lived most of his life in complete safety and we want to ensure that this level of safety is maintained. He won't understand that vehicles are an immediate danger, especially after being rescued from the top of a bridge where he most likely could have died.

We believe that cats can live a happy and fulfilled life as an indoor cat. This is as long as they get the right amount of play, stimulation, one-on-one time, etc.

If you are interested in giving Walshie a home then take a look our adoption procedure.

Be sure to send a message if you have any questions or would like to apply to adopt Welshie. We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours.

If you are not interested in adoption at this time, could we ask for your help by sharing his profile in other groups?

Thank you for your continued support of the Haven and our cats!

Cloud

It was April 2021 when Koky saw a message about a mother cat and her three babies who had been put on the street. Although there was no room for them in the Haven at that time, Koky arranged for them to be taken care of until they could move to the Haven. That happened in early June 2021. Cloud is the only cat from that litter of three kittens.

Outside of the first few weeks of her life, she only knew the Haven. Since she just turned 2 years old, we definitely think this beauty needs a forever home.

Cloud is a beautiful cat — medium to long hair, attentive and bright eyes, and a tail that could be used to dust all the dust in your house. She is a friendly, playful cat and loves human attention. In fact, she loves it so much that when she doesn't get the attention she feels she deserves, she can scratch her head a little. Not to hurt you, but to remind you that Her Majesty needs even more love and attention.

Cloud fits in a household with multiple cats or with the occasional cat-friendly dog. Because she needs to be trained not to scratch for attention, we do not recommend her in a family with young children.

Since she's been with us for so long (and has such a great tail), we have lots of photos of her and even a few videos. Take a look at this sweet lady and see if you think you can give her the attention she so desperately wants and deserves.

Like all our cats, Cloud 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 dependent on a successful video home check and an adoption contribution. See What is the adoption procedure at SHE?

Cloud is only adopted as a house cat, or if she is allowed outside, in a completely cat-proof garden (with special fencing), a litter box, or with a harness and leash. Cloud has lived the vast majority of its life in complete security and we want to ensure that this level of security is maintained. She has no street sense and does not understand that vehicles are a danger. Therefore, she should never be put in a situation where she is allowed to roam freely.

If you are interested in offering Cloud (and her tail) a home, or would like to know more about our adoption process, please contact us Contact on. We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours.

If you are not interested in adopting at this time, we might ask for your help by sharing her profile where you can.

Our best exposure is through word of mouth and spreading the word about who we are and what we do. Please help us find Cloud a loving forever home.

Adrian

At the beginning of January, Koky, the manager of Safe Haven Egypt, saw a local message on Facebook with a photo of a very sad kitten.

This was that photo;

*Photo of Adrian on Facebook when he was on the streets of Cairo* *that hit Koky*

Koky had already seen many sad situations. But that still touched her in some way. We managed to find out where that photo was taken, where this cat was. And Koky managed to bring this find to the Haven.

A sad little cat can quickly look better after warmth, food, love and safety.

So Adrian has now been in Haven since the beginning of January and is not ready to travel if an adopter were found. But he will be by mid-June. Since finding an adopter is not that easy and the adoption process will take some time anyway, we would like to introduce Adrian.

Right now Adrian looks like this;

You can see; that is quite different from the first photo. He has become a beautiful cat with medium long hair and an interesting mix of white with some brown in between hair color.

When Adrian is ready to travel, expected around mid-June, he will be fully vaccinated, chipped and have his papers. And being neutered.

All SHE cats receive love and personal attention and are therefore socialized with people. Sometimes neighborhood children also come to visit the cats in Safe Haven Egyt. There are also cat-friendly dogs among the many cats.

This 'rescue' in the most literal sense of the word can only be placed in a safe home. Adrian can only be placed as an indoor cat. You can only get outside via a catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

Would you like to give this sweet boy a home? Then read the SHE adoption procedure. Where you can read about the 'home check' and the adoption contribution.

Don't hesitate to contact us contact for questions or to apply as an adopter of Adrian.

If Adrian is not for you, but perhaps people in your circle of acquaintances, you can also help us by sharing this profile with your social circle.

Treasure

This is a adopted cat

Every cat is special, but we would like to introduce you to a friendly and sweet young lady who is really our Treasure, because that is her name.

Rescued in May 2021 as a small orphaned kitten, blind in one eye, Treasure has lived her life in the Haven ever since. Now about three years old, she is a favorite of the Haven team and visitors alike.

Perhaps it is best to let a long-time SHE supporter and adopter tell us about Treasure in her words, from her recent visit to Cairo and the Port in November 2022.

One thing I would like most is an adoption offer for Treasure.

Treasure is wonderfully affectionate and has come to me on every visit and sat on my lap, hugging me and showing me how loving she is. Some of the other cats get jealous and swat her, but she comes back when they're gone and gives me more cuddles. She is blind in one eye but otherwise healthy and enjoys treats!

Treasure gets along well with the other cats in the Haven, as well as with our dogs. We expect her to integrate well into most households, including those with respectful children. She is house trained and fully prepared for travel. For example, she has had her rabies vaccination (and the required laboratory test), her standard cat vaccinations, and she has been spayed and microchipped.

You will notice that she has both eyes, but she can see with only one of them.

Please note: Treasure must be an indoor cat, or if she is allowed outside, only in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) or a catio. Treasure has lived in complete safety since she was a little kitten and we want to ensure that this level of safety is maintained, especially considering her eyesight.

Are you looking for a sweet lap cat for company? Then consider our darling.

All offers of adoption are subject to an adoption fee plus a successful home check, carried out via video call. See What is the adoption procedure at SHE?

If you are interested in offering a home to Treasure or would like to learn more please contact local volunteer Walter. We will then contact you within 24 hours.

If you are not interested in adopting right now, please consider sharing this information about Treasure where you can or spreading the word about it to acquaintances who are looking for a cat.
