Look at her photo! Lollipop shows how talented she is by reaching her nose with the tip of her tongue! She's also talented with stealing your heart.

Lollipop is as sweet as her name and she deserves a great home. After living a happy life with her owner for 10 years, she was forced to leave everything familiar to her behind when her owner had to go into assisted living. Goodbye to her owner she loved, goodbye to her favorite chair, her sunny windows, and her happy and cozy times with the woman who was her universe.

It was during this past Christmas season, while so many lucky kitties at Safe Haven were being adopted and their lives were beginning that poor Lollipop's life seemed to be ending and she found herself suddenly moved into a new, strange world at our Cattail Farm Adoption Center.

But at Safe Haven, we don't let any kitty feel lonely or sad or unloved, and she soon found new friends with us, and new sunny windows and comfy chairs.

Lollipop just finished her medications to treat her ye**ty, itchy ears that she scratched so much that the one ear looks a little droopy, but she's much better now and is going to be groomed soon. It was difficult for her elderly owner to give her all she needed.

Now it's Lollipop's turn to start her next chapter in life. This darling kitty loves people. She'll be a great companion for someone who wants a gentle and beautiful friend.

You can apply to adopt Lollipop by going to our website at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org or you can get more info and arrange to meet her by calling 978-618-8022.

We all remember Zoey who wished so badly that Santa would find her a home in time for the holidays. How elated we all were when she got her holiday wish!
We heard from her family and it was all great news! Enjoy the wonderful message and photos from them:
"Zoey joined our family on December 22 and has settled in very quickly. She is an absolute joy to be with! She has a big house in the woods with pretty much free range indoors (we don't let her outside).
After her morning routine of snuggles, Zoey loves watching the birds at the feeders and lately has been obsessed with the squirrels. In return, they are very interested in her! If we have to go out, she often waits for us on a stool near the big wood stove. We feel blessed to have Zoey as a new member of our family.

We're also very grateful for all of the help and support from Safe Haven and Cattail Farm during the adoption process. Thank you all!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
We are thankful to our supporters for enabling Safe Haven to be able to give the kind of quality care to our rescued kitties so they enjoy quality health and are in the best condition at adoption time. We currently have a kitty that will be adopted soon that has poor dental health. His adoption fee will be $150 because he's between 1-8 years of age, but like many SH kitties his vet care will cost over a couple thousand dollars. We know dental health is critical to good health and besides..we want to keep him smiling! It's not uncommon for a kitty to have dental surgery at Safe Haven.
So this is to thank you all for helping us afford to pay the bills for these very deserving kitties! We hope you know that YOU are helping to make our kitties enjoy good health and a happy lifestyle.

Bolt's Weekly Scaredy Cat School Diary Entry:
Dear Diary, Jan 8 2026
Good thing they taught me how to count last semester... This way I know we have 14 teachers for the new semester at Scaredy Cat School. I heard them talking about bringing in 3 new students and they'll all be girls. I'll be the only boy, and I like it that way. With me being the only boy, I don't have to work hard to have a girlfriend or two...

Besides counting, I've also learned that I really like other cats. For example, take this little runt of a kitten Finley who is in my school room with her mother Chloe. When she and her momma came in many months ago I thought she was so pitiful. She was always nursing on her momma like a big baby. But then she grew and started to do zoomies in the school room. That changed my mind about her. She was a funny little thing!

At that time, I was still in my totally Catatonic Stage where I did little more than stare without my pupils moving (It's my monster look but I got tired of it and now I blink..alot) . So I would just lay on my perch and watch this crazy skinny kitten do zoomies in the room. One day when she jumped up on my perch, instead of backing away from her with total disgust and contempt, I stayed and blinked, and you know what she did? She curled up near me and took a nap.

Over the months, she and I have become friends, I'm watchful of her and her momma, and for that reason, the teachers would love for the 3 of us to go to a home together.

But there are problems. The problem is ME. I'm not ready, but Finley and her momma are. No one wants me because I"m well....lets just say, not fully socially developed just yet. In fact, not in the least. (remember last week's diary, I'm a straight F student)

Of course they could just put Chloe and Finley up on Petfinder and not mention me, but they don't have the heart to hurt my feelings. I've lost about 5 classmates already that have been adopted and I was really missing them after they left and the teachers don't want to break my heart again.

And so, these 14 Scaredy Cat School teachers are planning what they call a curriculum of intense socializing activities targeted in my behalf so I can catch up with Chloe and Finley and maybe someone will take all 3 of us!

Some of the teachers (especially the ones who have had bandages on their fingers, several times from me) think the goal is a bit lofty, but the diehard old coots who've been at this for a quarter of a century insist it will work.

Our new school supplies have been ordered... Let's see. 2 laser toys, a new wand toy, 3 cosmic bananas and a cat dancer toy, that always delights us until it gets sucked up in the shop vacuum cleaner.

New classes begin this week. I hope no one gets hurt. I'll do my very best to keep my claws retracted and my hisses as schussed as possible.

Please Diary friends, hold a good thought for me..( and them)

Back in 2021 when we were helping out a holding facility in mid coast Maine by accepting kitties when they were overflowing, one of the kitties we rescued on one of our last trips there was Cali.

Like so many of the kitties from there, she was scared, homeless and unwanted and because she was so reclusive, they knew she'd never get adopted .

We brought her to our Cattail location, and she blended into the farmhouse, taking her time to adjust, to watch, to just chill out and relax. During that time, our volunteers helped her become more accustomed to people and kindness and eventually Cali learned that she was safe.

So many kitties were adopted over the years before her. She seemed invisible to most who came to visit the cats. She never made any attempt to show how sweet she was because she still held back from strangers not certain if she was safe.

Recently, she made a bold decision to be braver and she started to jump down off her cat tree to join the other kitties when someone would enter the room. She began to play with the wand toys and would get so excited she'd start hopping like a bunny! She began to relax and enjoy getting chin rubs and ear scratches from her entrusted volunteers.

Cali proved herself to be the sweetest and kindest kitties at the farmhouse and people became drawn to her because they could sense her gift of serenity and calmness. This little zen child of a kitty preferred harmony and never forcing herself with anyone even the other kitties. They all grew to respect her.

We were aware that Cali had been there the longest of all our kitties at Cattail. 5 Years! Her story was told in the paper and the team started to promote her to those who visited.

And then, what do you know?!! Cali's lucky star glowed even brighter on the day a couple came in and met all the kitties, but really noticed her. Still shy with strangers, her beautiful soulful light shone thru to them. (Magic!)

The other day, Cali was adopted by them! Quietly, no photos, as Cali was of course fearful and it's not the time for a photo session.

The last we knew Cali was comfortably hiding under the bed, which is not uncommon for new kitties in strange environments but I heard it from a good source that the loving parents were sleeping on the floor to keep her company on that first night home and perhaps they still are, until she's ready to come on out and explore!

We will keep you all posted about her development in her new home and are very grateful to the family for giving this beautiful and sweet girl the life she waited oh so long for.

Happiness Always Cali and family!

We don't get many Princesses around these parts.....but we did get one at the end of the year. She was quite a beauty and it didn't take long for her to find a kingdom that needed someone very special to rule everything under the roof.
We've heard that she has settled in just fine, enjoys her castle and her subjects treat her as royally as they should. Enjoy the photos of PRINCESS BOO BOO IN HER NEW KINGDOM! (AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!)
