Montana and Gingersnapy are best buddies who found each other at Safe Haven's shelter and became best friends. They're looking for a home where they can continue to be snuggle buddies together for the rest of their lives.
Both came from tough pasts. Montana was trapped and designated as a barn cat as he was thought to be too feral for adoption until Safe Haven rescued him.
With us, he had the time and environment to relax and learn to trust people. It didn't take long before Montana became a total people pleaser, engaging volunteers to pet him and make a fuss. He has a big, sweet personality and simply loves to be loved.

This very handsome tuxedo, who sports a darling pink nose and has the sweetest nature, loves all the other cats. Montana could very well be the Safe Haven Ambassador as he gives all the new kitties a warm welcome and shows them the ropes. He's kind and loving and is an all around perfect kitty!

His best friend, Gingersnappy, was brought to Safe Haven with an eye injury that has long since healed. It wasn't long before Gingers-nappy's personality emerged and he gravitated toward Montana for friendship and now they are such close friends which is great because Gingersnappy is a little shy.

Gingersnappy is only 3 and has such cute buff and white markings. His face is so adorable with his butterscotch smudge around his nose and mouth. One of our volunteers laughs when she explains that "Gingersnappy has a snaggle-tooth and sometimes his lips get stuck on it when he smiles!"
This gorgeous boy doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

Being around Montana has made Gingersnappy a more confident and happier cat. The example that Montana sets for being the perfect cat has inspired Gingersnappy to relax around people.

Both kitties are often seen draped over one another snoozing and grooming each other in a cat bed that seems a bit small but they make it work, just to be together! With a bond this sweet and essential to the emotional well being of both cats they need to be life time friends and be placed in a home together.

DON'T MISS OUT ON MAKING THESE TWO KITTIES A HAPPY PART OF YOUR FAMILY! If interested in adopting these two beautiful cats, please call the shelter at 207-646-1611 or apply online at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org.
Enjoy the photos!

It's Thor's week to shine! I'll have him in the paper this week and on FB, Tom will get him on the website and Jamie will have him on Instagram. With all this attention, we hope he'll find the home he is so deserving of! You can do your share by sharing his posts to your cat loving friends.

Thor is so darling and deserving of a happy home.
This sweet young 2 year old is doing great at Safe Haven after being surrendered by a family due to financial limitations.
Thanks to all our volunteers at the shelter at 1420 Post Road in Wells, he is getting wonderfully spoiled and has made lots of friends.
He's a smart fellow and his former family said they could teach him tricks. Cats can be clicker-trained and even learn to fetch and do many other feats of wonder. This boy, seems to have the smarts to try many new things!
Like some cats, Thor can get so rambunctious and overstimulated in play he can give a wee nip. So we think that small children might not be the best match for him, however, he enjoys the attention of other kitties and would love a play mate!
Thor is handsome with majestic, brown and black tabby markings and a perfect M on his forehead thanks to his genetics. Take a closer look and you'll notice some wavy, kinky, crimped hairs on his body. Together with some of his whiskers turning downward, we suspect there could be some pretty fancy genetics further up his family tree, such as Rex, known for being active, friendly and playful along with those coat/whisker peculiarities.
Although everyone would miss Thor at the shelter, Thor would love a home of his very own for the rest of his life. He is a wonderful fellow and is waiting for you to give a call to Claire at the shelter desk at 207-646-1611. Check Thor out on petfinder! www.safehavenhumanesociety.org

Keanu is spending the next 3 weeks in "Cattail Campground" in his own tent while he recovers from his PU surgery last Saturday. This campground is perfect for him and comes equipped with real live peepers net door in our pond that sing very loudly all night long!

Our happy camper has come so far from nearly dying several weeks ago from a urinary blockage and being hospitalized for several days and nights to undergoing PU surgery to give him a new life where he won't be threatened by blockages again just days ago!

Keanu likes his tent and his fellow visitors in the campground located in our spacious adoption room and is tolerating the mandatory collar to prevent him from licking his stitches.
Nancy, our Cattail Cat Manager now is balancing being Park Ranger as well as her already demanding cat responsibilities.

This photo is Keanu enjoying his breakfast despite the collar this morning! He is a remarkably friendly fellow who loves people and wants your love and attention. You can check him out on www.safehavenhumanesociety.org or visit him on Sundays 1-4 at 1784 Post Road, Wells. FMI call Nancy 207-229-7094.
Our emergency fund for critical care cats is struggling and we don't want to turn sick cats away so if you have a little to send us please do at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org or mail to Safe Haven, PO Box 91 Wells, ME 04090.

News update from Safe Haven's Cattail location:
Arista has been adopted to a wonderful family, who knew Arista because they volunteered at Safe Haven and fell in love with her.
Now Arista has such a happy life with Nancy and Ben and dad, Brad, and 2 of their family kitties Dixie and Hermes. How wonderful to have so many wonderful personalities joined together for a most joyful and happy life. We are so happy for all!
Congratulations Arista! We will miss you, but we are happy for you!

Many thanks to Safe Haven's Foster Team who have been pretty busy these last couple days. Not only did they need to get set up for the arrival of their foster kitty, in this case, they also had to set up proper birthing spaces as their fosters were quite pregnant.

How pregnant? Well, one kitten was born in the car on it's way to it's foster home. Yup. Can you imagine the situation?

Fortunately, this team knew what to do and how to do it and two separate foster moms now have mother cats and kittens resting safely and very comfortable in their care. One, April, was a colony cat and the other, Bitty, a stray, both from separate Maine towns. The number of cats in need in Maine is staggering.

Kathy has the orange momma cat April who just birthed 7 healthy kittens (1 had died at birth), and Jessie has Bitty who is all black who gave birth to 6 little kittens who are all doing well.

They will eventually be needing lots of kitten food which is expensive. But we need to keep the momma kitties strong now so they can nurse. Foster moms need Sheeba brand Salmon flavor food and any kitten canned food would be so very welcomed. Gift cards from Walmart, or Chewy would be a huge help.
Please drop off donations at either our shelter at 1420 Post Road, Wells, or our Cattail location, 1784 Post Road, Wells and we will be sure the foster mom's get your gift. If interested in volunteering to foster www.safehavenhumanesociety.org . If you wish to give financial support or gift cards, please mail them to Safe Haven, PO Box 91, Wells, ME 04090.
Again, a heartfelt thanks to all our volunteers for saving the lives of Maine's strays and ferals and unwanted kitties by helping care for them and fostering!
Thanks so much!

Keanu is back from surgery which went very well. We're so hopeful that this surgery will be the life changer he needed. When male cats become blocked it can be deadly and Keanu was in very rough shape when he came into our hands.
He was too weak to undergo the surgery weeks ago but Saturday the team needed to perform his special surgery gathered at MVMC and he was given this procedure to prevent Keanu from blocking again. After being hospitalized a day and night, he returned to our Cattail location and he's resting comfortably in the recovery tent which is a large fabric, zippered tent that has both the security as well as the visibility he needs without any chance of him climbing and harming himself as he recovers.
He has to wear his surgical cone for 3 weeks, but he has great volunteers who will shower him with praise and love and those 3 weeks will pass.
My many thanks to Nancy, our Cattail Cat Manager who watches over our cats so carefully and is forever running back and forth to the vets and hospitals.
We are so fortunate for our volunteer teams at the shelter and at Cattail, and for each of you who help support us to save these cats from death.
Keanu's surgery was $3940 and prior to that we spent $5,000 to stabilize him in the hospital. This huge hit to our budget makes us aware that we must come up with more fundraising and encourage supporters to spread the word about us to grow our donor base.
There are many ways you can support us. Financial donations at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org or mail a check to Safe Haven PO Box 91 Wells, ME 04090. We accept donations for our thrift shop at 1784 Post Road in Wells on Saturdays from 12-3. Those donations are priced and sold to our treasure and bargain hunters to help pay our expenses. Our shop is open 7 days a week 11-4.
Another way is to donate your returnable bottles to us. The money from the bottles goes to help pay for the food and litter at our shelter at 1420 Post Road, Wells, where there is a bottle shed where you can drop off your bottles.
Or you can pick up a Clynx bag at our shop at 1784 Post Road and take it to Hannaford yourself and it will be added to our acct.

Darling Keanu is just one of several very costly critical need cats Safe Haven has rescued this year and each has hit our budget hard. Please spread the word about our life saving work and help us in any way you can. We don't ever want to have to say NO because we don't have the money.
Thanks so much.

Asking everyone to pray for Keanu who will be going to MVMC tomorrow for consultation and if deemed healthy enough and a good candidate for PU surgery will receive it.
This surgery will reduce his risks of urinary blockage in the future.
This is a huge expense for us on top of what his ex penses were when he was in critical condition a short while ago, but we know he deserves all the help we can give him.
Keanu is a lovely fellow inside and out. He's so friendly and sweet and such a happy boy despite all he's been through.
Please pray for him. We are hopeful he can get the surgery and that it's a great success!!

Lemon, Raspberry and Cappuccino wanted to have their goodbye photo taken before they leave our Safe Haven Cattail Adoption Center for their new home together. What a lucky person to have all 3 as their family members! Oh the fun and crazy memories that will be made! These little ones received the best of care within our foster program and then brought to our adoption center for showing off. It didn't take long for a triple adoption to happen and now their new journey begins.
We wish their family and these three siblings the happiest and longest of lives.

Scaredy Cat School is happy to announce that the graduating class of SCS will consist of SWIFT. Yes. SWIFT.
Why not Swift AND Bolt? Well, because Bolt has fallen behind by developing an obvious cat crush on Eddie, the new kitty in school.
While Edie and Bolt are busy making cat eyes at one another Swift is excelling in all her studies, and has achieved graduation status.

Swift at the young age of only 2, who came in as a feral another shelter couldn't handle due to her cattitude being feral, has gotten straight A's in all her activities.
She is the star of the Drama Club. When it's time for school to close, she will throw herself to the door window and put her paws up signifying her deep sorrow of the end of treat and play time.

Swift is an over achiever in sports and as you can see by her total disregard for ladylike exposures will put everything she has into her "Mousie on Wand" games. Communication is her special gift. She might even have psychic abilities as she has mastered the gift of staring at a visitor, and then staring at her mousie toy that hangs on the wall, and then staring at you again, until you finally put 1 and 1 together and realize she is telling you to play "mousie" with her.

Swift loves to be brushed and is good with her litter box giving her more straight A's in domestics and Appearance.
Where Swift fully wins the highest rank we have had yet in all the years of SCS ratings is with her having the BIGGEST HEART AWARD as you can see in the photo of the big black heart that covers her side.

Swift hasn't yet applied herself to sitting on laps or enjoying being held. After-all, she was feral. and she is allowed to take her time. What she has succeeded at in her studies, more than makes up for it.

She is hoping to graduate soon and it's up to who applies to adopt her. She will be a magnificent family member, she comes with all the blessings of the teachers at Safe Haven's Scaredy Cat School. We love her dearly and want the best for her future. So if you are the best, we will check you out!!! (ha ha!!) apply to adopt, or text 207-229-8314.

Meanwhile, Bolt and Eddie are still at elementary development stages. They are so busy flirting with one another their studies have taken a hit. But we teachers are on to this and are developing a new study plan for both.

We are happy to share that Keanu is now out of critical care and is with Safe Haven as we search for a foster home for him. He's a darling fellow that starts to purr the minute you start to walk toward him and he LOVES belly rubs!
Please share with all your friends that Safe Haven needs a foster home that promises plenty of belly rubs and lots of affection and will be sure Keanu is fed only the special diet that SH will provide and to be certain that he pees routinely. We are hopeful that he will never suffer another blockage with the correct diet and stress free environment and lots of fresh drinking water.
Safe Haven will provide everything and of course all medical care and whatever Keanu desires.
We don't have the proper environment for Keanu at our shelter and we really need him to find placement today! So please don't hesitate to spread the word. Please contact us at 207-229-8314 ASAP. Thanks!
