Ze heeft geen moment getwijfeld en is de mamma met haar 5 kittens meteen van straat gaan halen. Sinds die tijd leven ze in de veiligheid van ’the haven’. Angeni is een van de 5 kittens en verblijft dus al bijna haar hele leven in ’the haven’. Ze zou zo graag een liefdevol huisje voor haar zelf hebben.

Toen ze het reismandje oppakte kwam ze tot de ontdekking dat er een mamma kat in zat met haar 3 kittens. Cordelia is gedumpt naast de opvang simpelweg omdat ze kittens had gekregen. Kareema heeft Cordelia en haar kittens natuurlijk meteen mee naar binnen genomen, de kittens kunnen ondertussen voor zichzelf zoeken. Cordelia is op zoek naar een fijn ‘voor altijd huisje’.

Dotty on the street
Dotty was found blind and in very poor condition on the street in the summer of 2022 by people who posted about it on Facebook.
When Kareema, the owner of Haven, saw this message, she immediately went to catch Dotty. Dotty spent a few months in a foster home to get stronger and better. Dotty has been in Haven since the end of October 2022.
Dotty is estimated to have been born in the spring of 2022. So she is a little younger than 3 years old (January 2025).
Dotty is a cheerful affectionate cat, loves cuddles, loves human attention. Will not push but once you start cuddling you will not lose her.
So Dotty is blind, which is nothing that should stop an adopter. Blind cats are very self-reliant. That is really not a problem. For the rest, there are no known special health conditions. An optional FIV/FeLV test is available.
Dotty is social with other cats and cat-friendly dogs. Like all SHE cats, Dotty has received her basic vaccination against common cat diseases and rabies. She has been dewormed and has undergone an anti-flea treatment. Dotty is sterilized and chipped.
Even blind cats know where to find the litter box.
Who can and wants to give this cutie a home? Cuddle her and pamper her. – When she snuggles up next to you and you actually want to get up but you still stay there as long as possible so as not to disturb her?
This is a temporary reserved cat. This status typically lasts for a week. This is so that an interested party can think about a possible adoption proposal. It is still possible to apply as a reserve.
Jamila is a very friendly cat who is very people-oriented.
Location cat? 6th October City, Egypt – adoption to Belgium/Netherlands
Reason for rehoming? Former street cat.
How did the cat end up in the harbor?
When Kareema arrived at the SHE not long ago, she found a carrier case with a cat in it next to the harbor. In this carrier case was the beautiful and people-oriented Jamila. It happens all too often, unfortunately, that Egyptians acquire a cat and later dump it on the streets when their life changes or they no longer want the cat. Luckily for Jamila, her previous owner did not dump her on the busy streets of Cairo but put her in a carrier case next to the harbor. Even though the harbor was completely full with about 250 to 300 cats, Kareema could not leave her on the streets and took Jamila inside.
Age? 2 to 3 years old (born +/- 06-2022)
Chipped? YES
Gender? Female
Made sterile? Yes
Vaccinated? YES, Rabies & Common Cat Diseases
Defleaed? YES
Dewormed? YES
Is the cat house trained? YES
Socialized with people?
Jamila is a very friendly cat who is very people oriented. She follows you everywhere you go for a cuddle or a pat. She loves dreamies, for this she follows you everywhere and stands up to you. I am pretty sure Jamila will become a lap cat in no time once she feels comfortable in her forever home.
Socialized with pets? Jamila gets along very well with other cats and dogs that are cat-friendly.
Behavior/character? Jamila is a calm friendly cat.
Medication/health? No known problems, Jamila is a healthy young cat.
Not tested for FIV/FeLV yet. Option to get tested available.
We present you a cat with beautiful coat patterns; Baklava.
She was found in a cardboard box on the street as a very small kitten together with her two littermates. That was in July 2022. They were taken in at Haven. Although at first it looked good for the three kittens and all the good care, only Baklava survived.
We put her estimated date of birth in June 2022. Which makes her 2.5 years old now.
From the street, or more accurately, from the box to Haven, that is, from mortal danger to safety. That is good, but Baklava cannot stay in Haven all her life.
December 2024
Baklava is a beautiful healthy cat who gets along well with the many other cats in Haven. And also with friendly dogs.
She is a very calm cat. She likes to be petted when she knows you. She is not (yet) a cat that will lie on your lap. She is very relaxed in her behavior, a cat that does not worry about anything.
She is not aggressive or naughty.
Like all SHE cats, she has received her basic vaccinations against common cat diseases (FVR, FCV, FPV) and rabies. Anti-worming and flea treatment. Baklava has a microchip and is sterilized. And is also litter box trained.
We want to get Baklava out of Haven and into an adopter's home. But under conditions. - Baklava is safe in Haven and must be safe in her new home.
Baklava must be an indoor cat or only allowed outside in a secure enclosed outdoor environment.
Do you see this friendly beautiful cat getting a place in your home? Then take a look the adoption procedure. Don't hesitate to contact us for questions.
❗ This is an reserved cat. This one is no longer available for adoption at this time. ❗
Affie on the street, August 2021
We introduce you to long time resident Affie. The story of Affie is a well-known one.
In August 2021, news surfaced of a young cat in dire need next to a garbage pile on the street. Koky, the manager of Haven, went to rescue her.
And although Haven is a good place to stay, Affie is still there. And that is not really the intention. – High time to find her a home.
We estimate that Affie was born around June 2021. That makes her now – end of 2024 – a 3.5 year old.
Beautiful, friendly Affie

Occasionally, people who previously adopted a cat from Haven visit the shelter in Egypt. Three different visitors had nice words to say about Affie.
Affie has been described as a very friendly cat who loves to be cuddled and has a soft coat.
She has a beautiful personality, loving and playful, gorgeous soft fur, no health issues at all. She perfect!
Such a shame she's been overlooked, I don't know why
Deborah Falcus
December 2024
Like all cats, Affie has received her basic vaccination against common cat diseases and rabies. Anti-worm and flea treatment. She is chipped and sterilized. And is litter box trained.
Really can't get why sweet little Affie doesn't have a home to call her own yet. She has been at the haven since September 2021.
As soon as she notices someone has time to cuddle she follows you everywhere. She is very good with other kitties. Demands her time and cuddles. Has been in the haven since Sept 2021 but I don't quite understand why.
Maud Faats
A cat like Affie came into Haven almost dead. She has found safety in Haven. – It should stay that way. All SHE cats should be house tigers. Or if they go outside, it should be in safe circumstances.
Being able to walk around freely in the neighborhood is not acceptable.
Affie gets along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs. She has no known medical problems. A FIV/FeLV can be done on request.
Anyone looking for a sweet cat will not find better than Affie. We are looking for someone worthy of the love that Affie can give.
Pumpkin's temporary home has been Haven since August 2024.
When she arrived at Haven she had cloudy eyes. Pumkin was given eye drops and they helped. The cloudiness in her eyes is mostly gone. It is suspected that she has about 80% vision.
Her right ear is damaged. It is not clear how this happened. – Just to be clear; Pumpkin is not deaf.
December 2024
We estimate that she was born in June 2024, so she is still very young.
Like all SHE cats, she has received her vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and rabies. She is also chipped and sterilized. Has received her deworming and anti-flea treatment.
And is also litter box trained.
She is very friendly. Loves cuddles. And is – no surprise since she is so young – very playful.
A visitor to Haven had the following to say about Pumpking;
Pumpkin is really one of my favorites!
Very calm and waiting but once you have touched her or looked at her once she only wants attention. She will not push anyone else aside just to be petted, she waits her turn.
In one eye you can still see a whitish haze/discoloration, but this does not bother her at all.
Maud, visitor to Haven in December 2024
Pumpkin gets along well with other cats and also cat-friendly dogs.
We care about the safety of our SHE cats. 'win for life' Pumpkin won the lottery by getting off the streets and into Haven. – Pumpkin is safe in Haven.
It should be the same in her adoptive family.
Some people believe that it is cruel to forbid a cat to roam freely. – There is no discussion about this here.
A SHE adoption cat must be an indoor cat. Or if it goes outside, it must be in a very well-sealed outdoor area or cat run, that is also fine.
And anyone who wants to walk the adopted cat on a leash is welcome to do so.
Anyone who does not want to keep a cat under these conditions should not go to Safe Haven Egypt.
Another practical thing: due to regulations with the rabies vaccination, the earliest Pumkin can travel is February 2025.
Our adorable rescue kitty Panda from Safe Haven Egypt (SHE) in Cairo is looking for her new home!
Could this playful girl with the black ear steal your heart?
Panda's rescue story began in May 2024 when SHE founder Koky came across her at a gas station in Cairo. Koky regularly feeds a colony of stray cats there, and on this day, the station staff were waiting for her arrival.
They had found a tiny kitten and luckily Koky showed up!
The employees explained that a car had stopped for gas and this little kitten had fallen out, probably after hiding somewhere in the car's engine.
Because Panda was still so small, Koky took her home, where she already took in a number of other kittens. As soon as Panda got stronger and had her basic vaccinations, she moved to the young cat apartment from the Haven to make sure she got the proper socialization.
Panda is now 7 months old (as of October 2024) and is fully vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped and sterilised.
Not only is she super friendly with people but also full of fun and energy!
Panda loves to play and would love to have a playmate. If you don't have a playmate at home, Panda can bring a friend!
Because Panda was raised in the safety of the shelter, she will be adopted as an indoor cat. However, she would like access to a secure balcony or enclosed outdoor area. But as long as your home has enough space to play, this is not a strict requirement.
Due to rabies vaccination regulations, Panda will be able to fly to the EU and the UK from the end of December 2024. Adoption in Switzerland is also possible under certain conditions. Panda is already allowed to travel to Canada and the US.
