Minnie

End of November 2023; a report about a cat whose kittens were taken by children and is whining. The day after a report of two kittens whose mother was run over and are also whining.

All three are admitted to Haven. One of the two kittens survives. And so does the mother cat. She is named Minnie by her first sponsor.

Minnie had an infection in her left eye that medication could not save. It was removed and closed.

We now introduce you to the beautiful friendly Minnie. She is very, very sweet. Very affectionate. She likes to sit in the garden and enjoy.

It is estimated that she was born around the summer of 2022. That makes Minnie currently a 2 year old.

Minnie is ready to go to her forever home. She has received her basic vaccinations, including Rabies. She is microchipped and spayed. Minnie has received her deworming and flea treatment. And fear not; even with only one eye, Minnie can find the litter box.

As a former street cat, we attach great importance to the safety of our cats. Therefore, Minnie must be an indoor cat or only come outside in a closed, secure garden.

Do you see Minnie as a fit for your family? Then read on the adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us with all your questions.

Julie

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.

Maxine

Maxine is one of the many cats who have found a safe haven in Haven. Since she came to us as a kitten in August 2021, she has had a loving home. She came in with her mother and siblings when she was just a month old. Her third birthday is now approaching.

Like all cats at Safe Haven Egypt, Maxine has received her basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. She is also fitted with a microchip, has undergone a deworming treatment and had an anti-flea treatment. She is litter box trained and spayed.

About three months ago it was noticed that Maxine appeared to be blind, a condition she had not previously had. A specialist veterinarian confirmed this. It is not clear what happened, possibly the pressure in the eyes became too high for an unknown reason.

Despite only recently becoming blind, Maxine has adapted. Maxine is naturally friendly, but since her sudden blindness she is still insecure. She can sometimes scream loudly when someone touches her.

Maxine is also almost completely deaf.

Deaf & blind; This means that respect for her personal space is very important. Respectful people around her are needed.

Despite these challenges, she is good with other cats and has a calm nature.

Each Safe Haven Egypt cat travels with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all documentation of the cat.

Maxine, like all our cats, is an indoor cat. She is not allowed to walk around freely, but in a catio or a very well-enclosed garden, she can come outside. She is a loving cat who needs a caring home where she can feel safe and loved.

We ask potential adopters to our adoption procedure to read and tell us contact if there are any questions.

Deedee

Deedee on the street in March 2021

Deedee was born around December 2020 and came to us in March 2021 after a video of her acting strangely. This seemed to indicate a neurological problem.

We managed to rescue her from the street and bring her to Haven. She was very scared at first,

Thanks to B12 vitamin injections, her condition improved significantly.

Deedee has been at the Haven for three years and has no known health problems. She does have a tendency to tilt her head a little to the left, but this does not hinder her in her daily life.

When Deedee arrived at our home, she was very shy, but now she allows herself to be touched by Koky, the manager of the Port, and she likes to get close. We expect that after adoption it will not take much effort to get Deedee used to her new owner and to gain trust.

NB; Deedee is not a ready-made cuddle cat.

She gets along well with other cats and dogs and is litter box trained.

Like all Safe Haven Egypt cats, Deedee has received her basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies, has been microchipped and has undergone deworming and anti-flea treatment. She has been sterilized and must be kept as an indoor cat, although she can go outside in a catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

When adopted, Deedee comes with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all necessary documentation.

We ask a potential adopter read our adoption procedure. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

April 2024

*Cat with personality. She is really friendly.*

Fatima

Many very young kittens arrive at Safe Haven Egypt. With their mom. But sometimes not. They then have to be bottle fed. That is a lot of work.

But this also results in kittens that are very familiar with people.

Fatima has been a bottle baby. And she has become a friendly young calico cat.

Our girl is one-eyed. Her other eye is cloudy. The fact that she only has a single eye is not a handicap for a domestic cat. Even completely blind cats can handle themselves perfectly.

Fatima is now 1.5 years young. She can live well with other cats and dogs.

All SHE cats are vaccinated against common cat diseases and rabies. They received an anti-worm and anti-flea treatment. They are chipped and taught to use the litter box.

An essential part of a suitable home for a SHE cat is that it is a safe home. Fatima must be an indoor cat. Or go outside in a very well-enclosed garden from which she cannot escape.

Do you think that giving Fatima a safe and loving home is within your capabilities? – Then check out our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us contact.

Kim

This is a 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.

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.
