Cory

English

Deutsch

Nederlands

SHE USA

Cory is one of the many blind kittens that Kareema has rescued from the busy streets of Cairo, which is a good thing, since blind kittens don’t stand a chance of surviving on the streets.

He is estimated to be around 5 years old. So he was probably born in 2020.

Cory is a calm cat, friendly to all other cats and cat-friendly dogs. He is shy towards people and does not let himself be petted. He is a non-touch cat.

That can certainly change. The chance is even considerable. In Haven, the cats cannot get the personal attention that an adopter can give. And the hustle and bustle with the many other cats is not ideal to gain trust.

With love and a patient attitude, much is possible. But ultimately there is no guarantee. Whoever takes Corry into their home can hope that he will become a lap cat. But must be able to accept that this may not happen.

Cory is completely blind and has a crooked position of his head, which he holds slightly to the right. He experiences no discomfort from this, he manages fine in ‘the haven’. Cory has no other known health problems.

He has received his basic vaccination against common cat diseases and rabies. And an anti-flea treatment and anti-worm treatment. Cory is litter box trained and neutered.

We attach great importance to a safe home environment for our cats, therefore Cory must be an indoor cat.

Gerry

English

SHE USA

Gerry was found on the street by a kind lady who took him home. Because he was injured on his right front leg she later operated on him.

His right front leg has been amputated. As far as we know, Gerry is otherwise a healthy cat.

Unfortunately, that sweet lady couldn’t keep him and she contacted Kareema and so Gerry came to ‘the haven’ after the operation to recover.

Gerry is not yet very social with people. Gerry is very focused on food. He is therefore a shy cat. A ‘non-touch cat’.

Gerry is estimated to have been born around June 2023, so around 2 years old.

So he is not yet social with people. With treats he almost dares to make contact with an outstretched hand. So while shy he is not very shy. It is not like he hides away or runs away.

Understand that he is (not yet) a cuddlier. He could become one, probably even, given time. Trust must be earned and granted. If not you must respect his boundaries as is.

Gerry is very social with other cats and okay with cat-friendly dogs.

Like all cats he has received his basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. He has received his flea and worm treatment. He is neutered and litter box trained.

Many people have gone to great lengths and expense to rescue Gerry from the streets and make him available for adoption. We want Gerry to end up in a safe environment.

And that means not being able to walk around freely in the neighborhood. Not even if it is a quiet neighborhood. – Gerry must be a house cat or only come outside in a very safe enclosed outdoor area.

Who can offer Gerry a home? – If you think you can, take a look the adoption procedure. And don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sir Vanderbilt

It was December 2024 when Kareema saw a post about a nearly blind young cat on the busy streets of Cairo.

As so often, se brought him to safety as soon as possible. As we all know, blind cats don’t stand a chance when they are alone on the streets.

The cat was taken to ‘the haven’ and was named Sir Vanderbilt. It is estimated that Sir Vanderbilt is about 1 year old, his date of birth is around January 2024.

Sir Vanderbilt is missing his right eye, according to the vet he can still see shadows with his left eye. Fortunately this does not bother him at all.

Sir Vanderbilt is a very gentle and friendly cat to all cats and the cat friendly dog in ‘the haven’.

Sir Vanderbilt is also a real cuddler towards people, he loves to be petted.

Like all SHE cats, he has received his vaccinations. These are against common cat diseases and rabies.

He is also microchipped and spayed. Has received his deworming and flea treatment. Sir Vanderbilt is also litter box trained.

We attach great importance to the safety of our SHE cats. A SHE adoption cat must be an indoor cat.

With Sir Vanderbilt this is extra important because he is almost blind and cannot see any dangers on the street. A very well enclosed outdoor area or cat run is of course also good.

Kareema, who manages the shelter, had been feeding a ginger cat in the neighborhood where she lives for some time.

At the end of July 2024, this cat had kittens in one of the buildings in this neighborhood. She received a phone call from someone in the neighborhood that the mother cat was not doing well. Kareema immediately took the cat to a vet, in all probability the cat was poisoned by someone from the building.

Fortunately, the mother cat recovered quickly. Kareema took her to her building, there was an apartment that was empty. In the apartment, Kareema set up a cage so that the mother cat could raise the kittens safely and comfortably.

Here the mother cat was given the name Duchess. Duchess is a super affectionate and active cat. She loves to be petted. Duchess is also said to be a cat that can get along well with children.

Once the kittens were vaccinated, the mother cat and her kittens were able to move to ‘the haven’.

He is a very gentle and friendly cat to all cats and the cat friendly dog in ‘the haven’.
