Every now and then there is a cat whose rescue sticks in the memory. And while that can also be with a very cute photo, most of the time it is because of the terrible situation the cat found itself in.

We introduce you to Amber.

She came in covered in tar. It is not known how this happened. Let's hope she fell in herself. – It's hard not to immediately think the worst of people.

Amber revived thanks to the good care in Haven!

We estimate Amber to be 3 to 4 years old. She has now received her vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. She has been sterilized.

Has received anti-worm and anti-flea treatments. Is chipped. Graduated from the University of Litter Box Use.

Amber gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

She is also social with people. It is not a shoulder cat but is friendly and loves cuddles.

Amber 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.

Like all cats, but especially with a cat like Amber, be sure to visit the vet every year for a check-up.

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. – See also the 'info sheet FIV' at the bottom of this message.

If you would like to give Amber a try, take a look at our adoption procedure. And please don't hesitate to ask anything. Feel free to ask!

This is an adopted cat

*Eira with her kittens in the 'pet shop', April 2022*

We know street cats. People who dump their pet cats too. But that wasn't Eira. Eira comes from a pet shop.

An Egyptian pet shop. And that is different from what you and I think of when we think of 'pet store'. Eira was a domestic cat with five kittens. Her owner took her to such a pet store.

Koky – the manager of Safe Haven Egypt – received a message about this cat family present in a notoriously terrible pet store. That was because someone asked the owner of the store to put the cats in the shade and give them food and water. The store manager was not motivated to do anything.

We managed to get the cats released. But not in time to save one of the kittens who had died from deprivation.

Eira has now been in Haven for over 1.5 years. We estimate that she is now a 3 year old.

Despite her tough life, Eira is an extremely friendly, affectionate cat. She is also a calm cat.

Eira is good with other cats and also with dogs. She would also fit well in a family with children.

The first sponsor gets to name a new cat and so we learn that Eira is Welsh for 'snow'.

She has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases and Rabies, flea control and deworming treatment. She is chipped and sterilized. And is litter box trained.

Eira is ready to start the next phase in her life and is looking for an adopter. Somewhere where she can find the same safety and well-being as she now has in Haven. And so she must have an indoor cat life or, if she can, go outside in a very safe enclosed garden.

Who can offer Eria this?
