Amelia

When Kareema, who runs the rescue, was driving home in early September 2021 after a busy day at ‘the haven’ she saw children playing by throwing kittens at street dogs.

The children found it funny that the kittens were scared and tried to run away from the dogs. There were three kittens, unfortunately one of them had already been bitten to death by the street dogs.

Kareema was able to save the remaining two kittens from the hands of these annoying children and that’s how these two kittens came to ‘the haven’. They were named Marcel and Amelia by their first sponsors.

Amelia gets along well with the other cats and the cat-friendly dogs in ‘the haven’.

Amelia is very friendly towards people, she loves to be petted. She often comes to sit next to Kareema to be petted. Amelia does not like to be picked up. If someone wants to pick her up and carry her around or take her somewhere, she can let you know that she does not want this by scratching. For this reason we think that Amelia should not be placed with young children.

Amelia is estimated to be almost 5 years old, her estimated date of birth is around June 2021. Amelia is a healthy young lady. Like all SHE cats, Amelia has had her vaccinations. This against common cat diseases and rabies. She is also micro chipped and has had a de-worming and anti-flea treatment.

Amelia is spayed and also litter box trained. Amelia is ready to pack her bags and move.

We attach great importance to the safety of our SHE cats. A SHE adoption cat must be an indoor cat. Because Amelia has been used to the safe environment of ‘the haven’ since she was a kitten, this is extra important to her. A very well-sealed outdoor area or cat run is of course also good.

Amelia has been staying in ‘the haven’ for 3.5 years, she hopes that she can soon pack her suitcase to move to her own loving home. If you are interested, please contact us, we are happy to speak to you.

And please also check out our adoption procedure.

Mister Pappy

In Haven are many cats. And there is large range of the type of cats that found a spot in our rescue. Most common ones are the short hair ones.

But all types and colours can and do show up. Also the fancy ones. That are the type cats that are in favor of local Egyptian families who seek a cat. But that does not mean those are safe to not get kicked out. The reasons are usually very thin. Like in the case of Mister Pappy ‘We don’t want him anymore, kids need to study’.

Those fancy house cats do poorly on the streets. Mister Pappy came directly from his former home to Haven. The best that could happen in his situation.

Mister Pappy is estimated to be born end of 2023. So he about 2 years old now. He has received his vaccinations and his castrated.

As a former house cat he is used to living in a home and is litter box trained. He has experience with children. Mister Pappy is a playful cat. It his expected he will become even more fluffy when aging than he is currently.

The only known negative point is that he allegedly distracts children who needs to study.

Mister Pappy almost ended up on the streets, where he probably would have died soon. Who ever adopts him needs to be able to offer him a safe place. That means he needs to be an indoor cat. With preventive steps taken to secure windows and other risk factors.

If you think you can that person please look at our adoption process. And please do not hesitate to contact us.

Mummy Marmalade

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.

Benny

❗ 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.

Mowgli

❗ This a reserved cat. This cat is not longer available. ❗

Not long ago, Kareema saw a message about a white male cat roaming the streets, in search for food. His fur was completely dirty, full of tangles, and his eyes were dirty. This beautiful white cat with two different colored eyes likely once belonged to someone, but unfortunately, we’ll never know how he ended up on the streets. He came to “The Haven” and was named Mowgli by his first sponsor.

Mowgli is a male cat, he is about 3 years old. He’s friendly and affectionate towards people. At “The Haven,” Mowgli gets along well with the young kittens and female cats, but he’s not a fan of other tomcats.

Like all SHE cats, Mowgli has received his vaccinations against common feline diseases and rabies. Mowgli is microchipped, dewormed, and flea treated. He’s also neutered and litter-box trained.

We attach great importance to the safety of our SHE cats. A SHE cat for adoption must be an indoor cat. A well-enclosed outdoor area or cat run is also suitable.

Lucky

It was May 18, 2024 when Kareema – the manager of the catrescue – was already busy in front of ‘the haven’ from 6 am.

When Kareema was driving home in the evening, suddenly several cars stopped in front of her, she saw a small kitten sitting under one of the cars and stopped her car too.

After chasing the kitten back and forth across the road for about 15 minutes, the kitten hid in the engine compartment of a car.

Luckily, the car driver waited patiently until Kareema was able to get the kitten out of the engine about 30 minutes later. Kareema took the little kitten home and later took him to ‘the haven’ where the kitten was aptly named Lucky by his first sponsor.

Lucky is estimated to be about 1 year old, his estimated date of birth is around March 2025. Lucky is missing a piece of his right ear, fortunately he is not bothered by this at all.

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

Lucky is ready to pack his bags and move to his forever home.

Lucky is very friendly towards people, he loves to get attention.

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.

Prince White

Prince White is a fluffy, blue-eyed salon cat. Not a street cat. – And yet; what do you get when you put a salon cat on the street? – A street cat. One with even worse chances of survival than other cats.

Our prince was lucky enough to be noticed by someone. Posted in a local Facebook group for street cats in need. And he won the lottery of cats that can be taken in by the shelter of Safe Haven Egypt.

It was in January 2025 that he arrived in Haven. He received his name from a sponsor who recently adopted a cat from SHE. – A name given with love.

It is estimated that he is now 3 years old. Which makes his estimated date of birth around early 2022.

Thanks to the good care at Haven, made possible by donations like these, Prince White is now fully prepared for a salon of his own.

He is not only photogenic. He is also a friendly boy. At the moment he is a calm tomcat, not playful.

But know that he is now in a completely different environment than where he will end up after adoption. He is now together with dozens of other cats. That has an effect on the behavior.

He gets along well with the other cats, and also with the cat-friendly dog in Haven.

Prince White has received his basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. Deworming and flea treatment. He is chipped and neutered. And is litter box trained.

There are no known medical problems. Prince White was tested in October 2025 for FIV/FeLV and was negative.

Like all SHE cats, Prince White must be an indoor cat. We are very strict about this because we do not want our ex-street cats, for whom so much effort has been put into saving them, to be run over by a car at the adopter’s.

He will be ready to travel by the end of May 2025.

Who has a seat and a windowsill to share? Does Prince White seem to fit your situation? Your current and future situation, in sickness and prosperity?

Then check it out our adoption procedure. And don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or are interested.
