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.*

Ruskin

March 2023. After a typical long tiring day, Koky, the manager of Safe Haven Egypt, was on his way home from Haven. And she encounters a cat that almost ends up under her wheels.

Koky picked up the cat, which was caught without any problems. After reporting about this incident in the SHE Facebook group, the cat was named Ruskin and her first sponsor.

We estimate that Ruskin was born around the end of December 2022, beginning of 2023.

Ruskin is a very friendly girl. She likes to sit with people and follow them. She doesn't like being picked up.

She has been sterilized. Has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Has had deworming treatments and anti-flea treatment. Know how to use the litter box. And also has a microchip.

As you can see, she is now a beautiful adult tortoiseshell cat. And ready to find her own home.

Can you imagine Ruskin lying next to you on the couch? Softly humming as she presses against you? – Take a quick look at the top of this text! – If there is none 'This is a reserved cat' then this can be done effectively.

You have read how Ruskin was literally picked up off the street. That must never happen again. Above all, she must have a safe home. As an indoor cat or a cat with access to a fully enclosed outdoor area.

Know that Ruskin gets along well with other cats. So that's no problem for the longest time!

Can you give Ruskin a place in your home and in your heart?

Then check it out our adoption procedure. And please don't hesitate to contact us for questions. Or if you just know and want to be a candidate to adopt Ruskin.

Isaac

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.

Honey

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.

Fatima

Many very young kittens arrive at Safe Haven Egypt. With their mom. But sometimes not. They then have to be bottle fed. Very much 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. Get an anti-worm treatment 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 confirmed 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.

Ollie

We introduce you to SHE miracle cat Ollie. – What's worse than being born on the street? Being an orphaned kitten on the street.

Amazingly, it could be worse than this. Namely children who throw stones at an orphaned kitten.

– Someone felt sorry, gave this animal food and posted a photo of this 'ugly kitten' on Facebook. – “Can someone help this ugly kitten?”

Someone could. – The ugly kitten came to Haven. This kitten was in terrible shape. It was not expected that this one would make it.

With a new name, Ollie really got a new life. Ollie transformed from a pile of misery into a beautiful, healthy boy who is looking for his own home.

Ollie is a super friendly boy. If there are visitors in Haven, Ollie comes to greet them. He is a visitor favorite.

Ollie ❤️ He is so wonderful and friendly. I really hope he finds a home soon.

Ollie ❤️ He is so wonderful and friendly. I hope he finds a home soon.
Stephanie Ruiz, foreign visitor to Safe Haven Egypt, greeted by Ollie

Ollie has undergone his transformation. By May 2024 he will be 2 years young.

Ollie has received his vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Deworming treatment and anti-flea treatment. Is chipped. Castrated. Know how to use the litter box.

It's time for Ollie to take a plane to his new life.

That new life must be safe. He must be an indoor cat. Or only be left outside in a garden from which he cannot escape.

Who is ready to take this boy overflowing with affection into their home and make each other happy?

Take a look our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us contact. (Real)

Does a (social) cat not fit into your life at the moment? Maybe you know who? – Sharing is caring!

Christian

As they often do, a video of a young cat in dire need in Cairo circulated among people active in sheltering and rescuing cats. This was at the end of 2021.

It was a cat that had clearly had something terrible happen to it. Broken jaw and his eyes were a bloody mess. – He wouldn't make it without help.

A friend of Haven took him to the vet for necessary care and cared for him for about a month. The SHE community sponsored him and named him Christian. And so, in early 2022, Christian arrived in Haven.

Here we are two years later. Christian has become a grown-up handsome boy.

Christian is blind. The eyes are removed and closed. He must be about 2.5 years old now.

He is a gentle, calm and friendly cat. He has no tendency to bite or scratch.

Christian gets along well with other cats. He's a good eater.

So he is one of the many blind SHE cats. Know that blind cats are wonderful. They are cats through and through. And they can be expected to act as cats do. Such as (possibly) found on top of a seemingly inaccessible place.

For those who delve into the world of blind cats, see . FB group Blind cats united.

All cats at Safe Haven Egypt receive vaccinations against common cat diseases. An anti-worm and anti-flea treatment. Have a microchip, are castrated like Christian. They are litter box trained, – And will travel with a negative Rabies certificate and their vaccination record.

Also something that applies to all SHE cats is that they must be indoor cats. - We don't want to have to find out after adoption that adopter's promise not to let the cat roam free twas a lie . - This has even happened with a blind cat.

We would like to get our animals adopted. But that must also be done properly and safely.

Can you give our Christian a home? Want to sit together on the couch and go to sleep? – Then take a look at our adoption procedure.

And don't hesitate to contact us for questions or an adoption proposal.

Sharing this message where you can is also something that we greatly appreciate.
