Pumpking pass in Haven<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Pumpkin's temporary home has been Haven since August 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her right ear is damaged. It is not clear how this happened. \u2013 Just to be clear; Pumpkin is not deaf.<\/p>\n\n\n

December 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We estimate that she was born in June 2024, so she is still very young. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And is also litter box trained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is very friendly. Loves cuddles. And is \u2013 no surprise since she is so young \u2013 very playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visitor to Haven had the following to say about Pumpking;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pumpkin is really one of my favorites! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one eye you can still see a whitish haze\/discoloration, but this does not bother her at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maud, visitor to Haven in December 2024<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin gets along well with other cats and also cat-friendly dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We care about the safety of our SHE cats. 'win for life'<\/em> Pumpkin won the lottery by getting off the streets and into Haven. \u2013 Pumpkin is safe in Haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be the same in her adoptive family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people believe that it is cruel to forbid a cat to roam freely. \u2013 There is no discussion about this here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And anyone who wants to walk the adopted cat on a leash is welcome to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who does not want to keep a cat under these conditions should not go to Safe Haven Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another practical thing: due to regulations with the rabies vaccination, the earliest Pumkin can travel is February 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which in practice will not really cause a delay as you will understand if you our adoption procedure reads<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n

Who can offer this young friendly girl a safe home? And give her the personal attention that she can get far too little in Haven?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nominations or questions don't hesitate to contact us<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not looking for a cat (right now) in your life? (really?) \u2013 Maybe you know someone who is? \u2013 Sharing is caring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
