Angel

Upon arrival at Haven, Angel was literally a broken cat. Probably hit by a car.

Her jaw was broken and she had severe injuries to her eyes. Her jaw healed well and is fine now. Her eyes were not.

Angel is blind.

We estimate Angel to be about 4 years old. She was an adult when she came to Haven. And so also when she went blind. Angel has a hard time with that. She is 'shy'. A 'no-touching cat'.

That is not absolute. – Koky, the manager of Haven, can sometimes, if she can take the time, gently pet her a little.

This makes Koky believe that with an adopter who is patient and can gain Angel's trust, there is potential to make her lose her shyness.

Can Angel become a cuddle cat? Possibly. – But that is not something to promise. With love and patience, much is possible.

An adopter must be able to accept Angel as being 'shy'. What will certainly help is never to forget that a blind cat is blind.

*Example of a blind cat that is not sleeping*

With a sighted cat you can see directly from the eyes whether it has seen you. Whether it is awake. – With a blind cat it is much more subtle to see whether it is awake or not.

Waking up a sleeping cat and startling it by touching it is not a good way to gain trust. For any cat.

Angel gets along well with other cats and dogs. It is with people that she is on her guard.

Angel doesn't like dry food. She eats wet. She is a fan of chicken and tuna.

Like all Haven cats, Angel has received her basic vaccinations and her rabies vaccine. Deworming and flea treatment. She is microchipped and sterilized. And is litter box trained.

Also standard with all SHE cats;

They came from the evil dangerous world to Haven. When they are adopted it is not to be put back into danger. SHE cats must either be indoor cats or only allowed outside in a secure environment.

We do not want the adopted cat to roam around in the adopter's neighborhood. Not even if 'It's very quiet here, hardly any cars pass by'.

So. – Who wants to give Angel a home? Will you consider this? Check out our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Seriously. Everyone involved is doing this for the cats' well-being. You're not going to interrupt.

Doesn’t a cat like Angel fit into your life right now? Maybe someone else you know does? – Sharing this post is caring!

Nicky

Our girl Nicky's story started on the streets, like most Haven cats. The life of a street cat is full of dangers. In her case, the crucial danger was a collision with a motorcycle.

Her back legs were broken and she also suffered paralysis in her rear end.

There was a woman who would sometimes give Nicky something to eat. She noticed the condition Nicky was in and contacted Haven to ask if they could help. – And they could.

Nicky has now had months to regain her strength. And recover. She has lost her left hind leg. Her paralysis has not improved. But it could have been worse.

Nicky is fortunately mobile. See the video below. She can use her right hind leg to stand up. This allows Nicky to use the litter box. So she is independent.

Nicky has now received her vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and Rabies. Has had anti-flea treatment and deworming treatment. And is also chipped and sterilized.

So now she has become a three-legged girl who has to rely on her front legs to get around. She can crawl onto a chair but otherwise stays at ground level.

Socially Nicky is a bit shy at first. But after a while when she knows you and knows you can be trusted she is friendly and you can touch her.

She is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

It seems obvious but we have to mention it; She must never be in danger again. Her adopter must be able to guarantee her a safe home.

If you would like to investigate whether adopting Nicky is an option, please take a look at our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us.

Beauty

This is a confirmed 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.

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.

Beatrice

This is a 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

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.

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.

Potential adopters are asked to read the adoption procedure If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Freya is ready to find her forever home. Maybe you are her new family?

Cupcake

This is a adopted cat

Cupcake is a beautiful Egyptian Mau and ex-street cat who was rescued by Safe Haven Egypt in June 2023. She was very shy at the time, but has developed into a very friendly and social cat.

Safety and health are priorities at Safe Haven Egypt. That is why Cupcake has received her basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. She has also been microchipped, dewormed and treated against fleas.

Cupcake is litter box trained. She has also been spayed, a preventative measure to avoid unwanted kittens.

At Safe Haven Egypt we believe that our cats deserve the best care, so we ask that our cats be kept as indoor cats. Cupcake could come out in a catio or a very well-enclosed garden.

Since she was a kitten in June 2023, she is now almost 1 year young.

Cupcake has proven that she gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs, making her a great addition to a household with other pets.

She loves to be picked up and cuddled, although she is not necessarily a shoulder cat. She tends to follow you around.

Upon adoption, Cupcake comes with a negative rabies laboratory certificate, a sturdy cat box and all necessary documentation. We ask potential adopters to our adoption procedure to read. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Cupcake is waiting for a loving and caring home. Are you the right person to give it to her?
