Lucky

SHE USA

English

Deutsch

Nederlands

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.

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

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

In April 2024, Kareema received a message from one of her regular taxi drivers. In the building where the taxi driver lived, a kitten had gotten stuck in the elevator door as it was closing.

The kitten was in very bad condition and was taken to the vet and operated on. After a week of intensive care the kitten came to ‘the haven’ where he has been ever since.

The kitten was named Otis by his first sponsor.

Otis is estimated to be born around March 2024. And therefore approximately 1 year old.

Otis had a broken jaw when he was found. He had surgery for this. He needed intensive care for one week after the surgery.

Now he is a healthy young cat, with no known health problems.

Otis is very friendly and affectionate towards people.

He will come and sit on your lap for a cuddle as soon as you sit down. He loves to be petted all the time. Otis gets along well with the other cats and cat-friendly dogs at ‘the haven’.

Like all SHE cats, Otis has had his vaccinations. These are against common cat diseases and rabies. He is also chipped and has had a deworming and anti-flea treatment. Otis is neutered and 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.

Texas

SHE USA

English

Deutsch

Nederlands

In late 2024, a photo of a cat missing part of his back leg started circulating among animal rescuers in Cairo. He was rescued, taken to our shelter, and received the medical care he needed. – And got the name ‘Texas’ from his sponsor.

At first, it looked like the remaining part of Texas’ back leg could be saved. He moved around surprisingly well.

But over time, the area kept getting sore and had to be treated several times. In the end, our vet decided the best option was to fully amputate the leg. His wound has now healed, and Texas is ready to begin a new chapter in his life.

He’s estimated to be born around November 2023. So he is now about 1.5 years old. During his recovery, he was also microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. He still needs to complete the waiting period required for international travel. Starting July 2025, Texas will be cleared to travel to the EU, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, or Canada.

Texas is a stunning young cat – active and playful. He has strikingly bright, differently coloured eyes. This iris heterochromia is more common in all-white cats but quite unusual in cats with mixed fur like Texas.

Our shelter manager, Koky, does not think that Texas is feral. However, at the moment, he is still shy with humans. She believes that with gentle care and patience, he will learn to trust.

With other cats – and even the two shelter dogs – he is very friendly. He would do best in a quiet home without small children, where he is not pressured and is allowed to gain confidence at his own pace. A confident group of resident cats could help him settle in, or he could bring a trusting cat buddy with him to his new home.

Shy cats like Texas often turn into the biggest cuddle bugs over time, though, of course, there are no guarantees.

What he truly needs is someone who will love him just the way he is.

Since we prioritize safety for our rescue cats, we only adopt into indoor homes. For Texas, who has only three legs, this is extra important. However, a secured balcony, cat-safe garden, or outdoor catio would be a lovely bonus though not a requirement.

Can you be his special person for Texas? – That would be exceptional. Please check out our adoption procedure if you think you could be the human for Texas. And please contact us about it.

Pandora

SHE USA

Deutsch

Nederlands

It was December 2024, when Kareema found three little kittens dumped next to ‘the haven’. She quickly took the three little ones inside and they ended up in the safety of ‘the haven’. The kittens were named Spider, Paisly and Pandora.

Pandora gets along well with the other cats and the cat-friendly dogs in ‘the haven’. Pandora is very friendly towards people.

Pandora is estimated to be around 8 months old, her estimated date of birth is around July 2024.

Pandora is a healthy boy. Despite his white color, he is not deaf as white cats often are.

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

Pandora is ready to pack his bags and move.

We attach great importance to the safety of our SHE cats. A SHE adoption cat must be an indoor cat. Because Pandora is used to the safe environment of ‘the haven’ from kittenhood, this is extra important for him. A very well-sealed outdoor space or cat run is of course also good.

Pandora is the only one of the 3 kittens that has not yet been adopted.

Who will fall for this handsome young gentleman with his beautiful blue eyes and offer him a loving and safe home?

Is that you? – Then take a look our adoption procedure. And don’t hesitate to contact us for questions.

Cory

SHE USA

English

Deutsch

Nederlands

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.

Check it out our adoption procedure and don’t hesitate to contact us for questions.

Gerry

SHE USA

English

Deutsch

Nederlands

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.

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

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.

Prince White

SHE USA

English

Deutsch

Nederlands

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. FIV/FeLV testing is available.

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.

Is a prince not fitting in your house right now? Sharing this post would be a great help.

Louis is estimated to be about 8 years old.

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.

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.
