January, 2026 -

Some months ago there was a post about a cat that gave birth to four kittens on the busy streets of Caïro.

Something that happens daily with countless cats in Ca¨ïro. But these had the luck to get the attention of Kareema Ibraheem, who runs the rescue, and she sent someone to rescue the new mom with babies.

Sadly her kittens didn’t make it but Mummy Marmalade did. The hard life on the streets sadly cost her one eye but that doesn’t hold her back to enjoy life at the Haven right now!

Mummy Marmalade is estimated to be born in 2023. So she is about 3 years old.

She has been de-wormed, flea-treated, neutered, micro-chipped, and has almost completed all necessary vaccinations against common feline diseases and rabies, making her ready to travel to the UK, EU, Switzerland, USA, and Canada by February.

Mummy Marmalade is a super friendly cat towards people, she will come up to you to get some attention. At the haven Mummy Marmalade is okay with all the other cats.

For safety reasons, SHE only adopts cats into indoor homes. Of course, Mummy Marmalade would love a secure outdoor space, like a cat-proofed balcony or enclosed garden area.

Are you ready to give Mummy Marmalade the loving and secure forever home she deserves? If so, check out our adoption process. – If you have questions or wish to adopt her please do not hesitate to contact us.

❗ This is an adopted cat ❗

Handsome Benny joined ‘the Haven’ early 2025.

Benny is handicapped, he has a deformation on both his hind legs. It remains unknown if he was born with it or if he has been hit by a car or motorcycle while roaming the streets of Caïro.

Luckily Benny is able to use the litter box well, he doesn’t need help emptying his bladder or intestine. Kareema Ibraheem, who runs the shelter, even thinks he would be okay with climbing stairs.

Benny is a very friendly, young chap that gets along very good with all humans and the other dogs and cats at ‘the Haven’. He is estimated to be about 12 months old at the moment. So he is probably born end of 2024.

Benny is ready to travel. He has been de-wormed, flea-treated, neutered, micro-chipped. And has completed all necessary vaccinations against common feline diseases and rabies, making him eligible to travel to the UK, EU, Switzerland, USA, and Canada.

For safety reasons, Safe Haven Egypt only adopts cats into indoor homes. This is extra important for Benny because he is handicapped.

Of course, Benny would love a secure outdoor space, like a cat-proofed balcony or enclosed garden area.

Who can give Benny a safe and loving home? If that is you please contact us. And take a look at our adoption procedure.
