Cupcake

This is an 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?

Amber

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!

Snowflake

This is an adopted cat

Our calico cat Snowflake with the emerald green eyes is pure love!

Snowflake was found in the fall of 2022, when she was still a kitten. Koky, the founder of Haven, took her home.

After receiving all her vaccinations, Snowflake was allowed to go to the Haven, where she continues to wait for her own loving family.

Snowflake is now almost 2 years old and has not seen anything other than the shelter. She's the kind of cat who greets you loudly when you come home, who jumps into your lap for cuddles and rubs her cheek against yours.

In short: she is a real cuddly toy!

If you have enough time and space to give Snowflake the attention and cuddles she needs, then you are the right person for her.

She will give you so much love in return!

Like all SHE cats, Snowflake is sterilized, deflead, dewormed, chipped and fully vaccinated. She can fly to Europe, Canada and the United States and of course travels with a negative rabies certificate and all necessary documents.

For SHE, the safety of their rescued cats is their top priority. Therefore, our relocated cats are not allowed to roam freely in unsecured outdoor areas.

Also take a look at our adoption procedure. – For questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Sassafras

Our cuddly tortoiseshell cat Sassafras is looking for a home again!

Sassafras was admitted to Haven with her mother and four siblings when she was just one day old. Luckily all the babies survived!

The mother cat was named Tiggy by our sponsors and has already been adopted, as have two of her kittens.

In addition to Sassafras, her handsome brother Alfie is still looking for his forever home. We would of course like to place them together, but that is not a must.

Sassafras is now 2 years old and enjoys every cuddle she can get at the Haven. Although she does well there and socializes with the other fluff balls, she is desperate for the attention and love, which only her own family can give her.

Would you grant Sassafras' wish?

Like all SHE cats, Sassafras is sterilized, deflead, dewormed, chipped and vaccinated.

She can fly to Europe, Canada and the US and of course travels with a negative rabies certificate and all necessary documents.

SHE attaches great importance to the safety of its rescued cats. Therefore, they will not be allowed to roam freely in their new home. Of course they would be happy with a well-secured balcony or a cat-proof garden.

If you are interested in our cats, you can find more information about the adoption procedure here. And don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!

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.

*Cat with personality. She is really friendly.*

Ruskin

This is an confirmed cat

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.

Fatima

Many very young kittens arrive at Safe Haven Egypt. With their mom. But sometimes not. They then have to be bottle fed. That is a lot of 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. They received an anti-worm 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.

Myla

Unfortunately, we have very little information available about our Myla. This text will be adjusted when more becomes available.

Myla is a 1 year old girl (born November 2023, est.) that is playful. She has one eye. An operation is planned to close the non-functioning eye.

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.

Myla lives with many other cats and also a number of dogs. So she will have no problem with such housemates.

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. Myla must be an indoor cat. Or go outside in a very well-enclosed garden from which she cannot escape.

Do you think that giving Myla a safe and loving home is within your capabilities? – Then check out our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us contact. We love nothing more than talking about our cats and how the adoption process works.

Kim

This is an adopted 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.

Mariette

May 2023. – A video is making the rounds on Facebook of a pitiful pile of cats in Cairo infested with flies and with a badly inflamed mouth. – It's the kind of video that makes you want to reach through the screen to help that creature. (video somewhere below)

Sint Koky acted. – The pile of misery came to Haven and was given the name Mariette.

Some cats in this situation don't make it. – Mariette made it.

We suspect that Mariette was born around March 2023. - So she is now 1 year old. Mariette has become a beautiful calico cat. There's nothing wrong with her. But the experience on the street has not made her social.

Mariette is not wild. But 'shy'. Currently, she can only be touched to a very limited extent by a trusted human.

This may change. Shy cats can become very affectionate cats who want nothing more than to cuddle. – But that is certainly not certain. A cat like Mariette needs love and patience. But also respect for the boundaries that Mariette sets. Forcing it is certainly not a good idea.

Mariette has no problems with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

Like all SHE cats, it has been sterilized. Has received a Rabies vaccination and basic vaccination against common cat diseases. An anti-worm treatment and anti-flea treatment. She is litter box trained.

The last thing we want is for a SHE cat to end up back in danger from the streets. Mariette must be an indoor cat. Or have a garden that she can't get out of.
