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

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 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?

Then take a look at our adoption procedure. And don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

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.

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

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