Beauty

This is an adopted cat

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.

Aila and Ava

On June 10, 2024, Koky, the founder of Haven, saw a couple drop off two animal boxes in front of the shelter with several cats crammed together.

The couple said they had been breeding cats and were leaving Egypt. They had sold all the kittens and now there were five adult cats left. Koky could accept the cats or they would release them on the streets.

Since breeding cats would not be able to survive on the streets, Koky had no choice and took them to Haven. There were three red cats, a white cat and a red tomcat, all longhaired. One of the red cats was pregnant and had her kittens at the shelter.

Two of these cats love each other very much, Aila and Ava. These two are adopted together.

Both are beautiful, fluffy red cats and, like forest cats, have tufts in their ears.

Due to their coat color they can be considered a rarity, as only 20% of all ginger cats are female. In addition, their amber eyes make their appearance very special. Ava has a small white bib.

They are both estimated to be around 3 years old. Veterinary examinations have not revealed any health problems.

In Haven they get along very well with their own kind, but they also love people. They are both very friendly and love human attention.

Aila and Ava are already sterilized, deflead, dewormed, chipped and vaccinated. They can fly to Europe, Canada and the US. They both have a vaccination passport and an official veterinary certificate of active protection against rabies.

These two beauties are pure indoor cats. Sure, they can enjoy the benefits of a balcony with a screen, a fully enclosed enclosure or a cat-proof garden, but they are not allowed to roam freely.

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.

She is estimated to be born around the summer of 2022. That makes Minnie currently a 2 year old. She is described as a small cat in size.

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.

Gorgeous Minnie is a total cuddle monster! She seeks me out every time I have been to the Haven this week and sticks to me like glue. She just wants her very own human to love. Whoever adopts her will be incredibly lucky!

Nemr

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

Last February, something very ordinary happened on the streets of Cairo. Dogs attacked a very young kitten.

However, this was a lucky thing for this kitten as he was spotted and ended up in Haven. His admission price was the lower part of his right front leg which could not be saved.

He was given good care and the name Nemr.

At first he was scared. Didn't want to be touched. Some cats stay scared their whole lives. Not Nemr.

He has now become a cat that demands human attention. He follows the shelter workers around hoping to get a pet. Which he does get, of course, although not all the time. There is a lot of work to be done in Haven.

Pet me, all day long!

Nemr is estimated to have been born around New Year's 2024. He is ready to leave for a new home.

And that means he is litter box trained. He has received his basic vaccinations, including rabies vaccination. He is also neutered and chipped and has received his deworming and anti-flea treatment.

The absence of his right hand is no obstacle for Nemr. Besides being affectionate towards people, Nemr is also a good friend towards other cats.

Nemr also has no problem with the sweet cat-friendly dog Hope who walks around among the cats.

We ask anyone who would consider giving Nemr a home to read the adoption procedure. Know that we attach great importance to a safe environment for our rescued ex-street cats. They should not be able to end up on the streets again.

And of course don't hesitate to contact us to contact for questions. This all runs on volunteers. Nothing is too much for us to give our cats a home.

Ernie

My name is Ernie. I am 8 months old now, born around new year 2024.

Last February I was walking between buildings on the street looking for food in trash cans when I found a building. There was some dry food nearby.

I went there, ate and slept deeply. The next day I saw cats entering this building and going to the first floor where food was next to an apartment. I did the same as them.

After talking to the other cats I understood that they told me there was a lovely lady named Koky. She feeds the cats, so I decided to live next to this building.

Every day I go to Koky's apartment and eat there. Later she saw me and started touching me and taking care of me. That was the first time in my life that someone took care of me.

Since then we have become friends and every time she opens the door we would play together. I saw that she also has other cats. I decided I wanted to join them too.

The next day Koky opened the door and I jumped into her apartment. I decided I would live there and she told me it was okay, but that I would have to go to the shelter after a few days. I didn't know what a shelter was, but I knew Koky wouldn't take me to a bad place.

I came to the shelter and made many friends here. Now I am looking for a loving forever home.

I am vaccinated, chipped and neutered. I'm looking for a nice home and a nice family who will love me forever, and I will love them forever too.

I am a good boy, Koky told me. Friendly with other cats, dogs and children. I'm not super active, but I like to play.

But don't worry, I won't jump on you and climb on your shoulders. I like to lie in a lap and don't mind being picked up.

Who can give me a safe home? – Adoption procedure

Beatrice

This is an withdrawn cat

Beatrice came to attention through a Facebook post on June 7, 2023 by a group trying to save cats in Cairo and Giza. A call for help for a cat in extreme distress.

Clearly a domestic cat that has been accidentally or - more likely deliberately - taken from the safety of its former home to die on the street.

Safe Haven Egypt was able to help in this case and this shadow of a cat came to Haven.

Whether a cat in such a terrible condition can still be saved is always a question mark. But Beatrice pulled through. Thanks to the support of SHE community who sponsored her medical expenses. She is a SHE miracle cat.

Beatrice is estimated to be 2 to 3 years old. She is a very, very friendly cat. You can pick her up. She likes to cuddle.

Beatrice is virtually blind. She can probably still see a little bit.

She has not only lost her sight due to her neglect, but also liver problems. She eats special veterinary diet food. Beatrice eats well.

The severity of the liver problems is not really clear. There are indications that this is not too bad.

A potential adopter for Beatrice can request medical advice from their own veterinarian based on Beatrice's blood tests. This is the most recent blood test available. New research can be done upon request.

Like all SHE cats, Beatrice has been sterilized and has received her vaccinations against common cat diseases. Rabies vaccine campaign. She has been shipped. And she has undergone a deworming treatment and anti-flea treatment. And she is litter box trained.

Who can give a Beatrice a safe home?

Please then read our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us for all your questions.

Sharing this post would be kind.

Julie

❗ This is a confirmed cat ❗

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.

Fanta

Meet Fanta, one and a half years old and – yes – female. There are three times as many male ginger cats as there are female ones.

In November 2022, Koky, the founder of Safe Haven Egypt (SHE), was asked if she could help a small, red-haired baby cat who was missing a back leg. When a friend of Koky's went to pick her up from the street, she realized that the kitten had a sister.

Of course, they were both rescued and brought to the Haven, because without their mother they wouldn't stand a chance.

The SHE community gave them the names Asbury and Fanta.

Unfortunately, Asbury, the kitten with only half a hind leg, was already very ill. She died shortly afterwards, even though she was under vet care and everything was done for her. However, things went well with Fanta.

Fanta has now grown into a wonderful young lady. Apart from her intense ginger coat and beautiful markings, she has a classic Egyptian appearance: Slender, athletic build, long legs and a narrow head with a long nose and large ears.

She is simply beautiful!

Fanta loves human affection. Not a cat that jumps on your lap from day one. She needs some time to get used to new people and a new environment. But in general she loves people and gets along well with her own kind.

Apart from her first days of life, Fanta only knows the shelter and must be kept indoors in her new home. In fact, SHE never accepts unsecured outdoor access for its rescued cats because they have all experienced the safety of the Haven. Of course Fanta would appreciate a well-secured balcony or a cat-proof garden, but this is not a necessity.

Fanta has been sterilized, deflead, dewormed, chipped and vaccinated and can fly to Europe, Canada and the US. She travels with her vaccination passport and proof of active rabies protection.

If you are interested in Fanta, you can find more information about our adoption procedure here.

do not hesitate to to contact with us if you have any questions or an adoption proposal.

Freya

Freya is a beautiful adult Egyptian Mau born in May 2021, which now makes her two and a half years young. She probably arrived at Safe Haven Egypt with her mother, who was probably blind and pregnant.

Freya has received her basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. She has also been microchipped, has undergone deworming and has been treated against fleas. She is also potty trained and has been sterilized.

Freya has enjoyed a safe environment at Safe Haven Egypt, and it is important that her future home is also safe. She must be an indoor cat and not allowed to roam freely. A catio or a very well enclosed garden would be suitable for her.

Freya is described as a very smart and friendly cat. She gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs, and would also make a good addition to a family with children.

Freya will travel with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all documentation relating to her.
