Adoptable - Safe Haven Egypt

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.

It was September 2021 when Kareema’s husband came home with a little kitten. He found this kitten in an extremely crowded place full of people and cars and he simply couldn’t leave her there because she wouldn’t survive much longer.

According to bystanders, she had been crying out loudly for about three days. Kareema took the little kitten to the safety of ‘the haven’ where she was named Piper.

Piper is estimated to be approximately 3.5 years old and has been in ‘the haven’ for over 3 years. So she must been born about August 2021.

Piper is a quiet cat that is friendly to other cats and a cat-friendly dog in ‘the haven’. Piper is still shy towards people and does not let herself be touched. She will run away if you come too close.

Like all SHE cats, Piper has received her vaccinations. These are for common cat diseases and rabies. She is also micro-chipped and has received her de-worming and anti-flea treatment. Piper is sterilized and 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. A very well-sealed outdoor space or cat run is of course also good.

Who can offer this quiet, yet shy lady a loving home? – Where she will hopefully learn to trust ‘her people’.

She deserves it after more than three years in ‘the haven’.

Are you that unique person who wants to give Piper a chance?

Sangria

It was July 2024 when Kareema found a cat dumped next to ‘the haven’.

Sadly this happens all too often. These cats don’t stand a chance on the streets. The cat was quickly captured and taken inside to the safety of ‘the haven’.

The cat was named Sangria.

Sangria is estimated to be around 2 to 3 years old. The estimated date of birth is somewhere around August 2022. Sangria gets along well with the other cats and the cat-friendly dog in ‘the haven’. Sangria is still very shy towards people, she does not let herself be touched and will run away if you come near.

Like all SHE cats, Sangria has received her vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and rabies. She is also chipped and has received her deworming and anti-flea treatment. Sangria is sterilized and 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. A very well-sealed outdoor space or cat run is of course also good.

Pluto

It was October 2022 when Kareema Ibraheem received a message about a tiny kitten wandering alone on the busy streets of Cairo. As always, Kareema made sure that the kitten was taken off the dangerous busy street as soon as possible.

So this little guy came into ‘the haven’ and was given the name Pluto.

Pluto had a very big belly full of stool, on the street he probably wouldn’t have lasted much longer. With the right treatment and a lot of TLC, Pluto has grown into a healthy young boy. Pluto is estimated to be around 2.5 years old. His date of birth will be sometime in August 2022.

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

Also is Pluto a real cuddler towards people. He loves to be petted and will occasionally crawl on your lap for some attention.

Like all SHE cats, Pluto has received his vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and rabies. He is also chipped and neutered. Has received his deworming and anti-flea treatment. Pluto is also litter-box trained.

Pluto was tested for FIV/FeLV in February 2026 and his test came back negative.

We attach great importance to the safety of our SHE cats. A SHE adoption cat must be an indoor cat. With Pluto this is extra important because he has grown up in the safety of the shelter from an early age. A very well-enclosed outdoor space or cat run is of course also good.

Who can offer this young cuddly guy a safe home?
