Matching Grant is Great Success!
Happy Holidays to all and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated toward our matching gift campaign.
Thanks to very generous supporters and friends who provided the initial $40,000 which would be used to match, dollar for dollar, any donations we received up to their $40,000. We began the fundraiser in November and it wrapped up on Christmas day.
Your response to our fundraising letter was enthusiastically received. Over the next few weeks, donations poured in! Many landed in our PO box, others were delivered by hand to our shelter and shop. Many donated on our website via PayPal and credit cards.
Thanks to so many of you being kind and generous, Safe Haven succeeded and met our goal, days before our deadline.
But additional donations kept coming in, even after we exceeded our goal. We are so grateful!
Thanks to your help, Safe Haven can more comfortably approach 2025 with more stability. We’ll be able to save even more lives in the new year, as your donations are used to pay our vet bills.
The gift you have given to the animals was our Christmas Wish, and we are beyond grateful! Kitty rescues and intakes keep increasing, and the costs of both routine and emergency vet care have dramatically increased.
The challenge of maintaining a budget is a fight worth having. Like you, we believe every animal is worth saving. But your generosity has made it easier for us to continue our no-kill mission. by being so kind and generous. We cannot thank you enough!
Two precious kittens you should meet are 5 month old brothers, Benji and Antwan. These two are busy being kittens, full of mischief and curious, adventurous and silly!
They’re perfect for someone who’s ready for action and lots of laughs. These kittens play until exhausted, they collapse into a heap and snooze. They only have two speeds: off and full!
These 2 whippersnappers are fun-loving and affectionate, and ready to liven up your life! Apply online and come to meet them soon!

We’ve been blessed to have this huge improvement paid for by our supporters Kathleen, Karl, Jim, Eileen, Roberta and an anonymous friend. This helps Safe Haven to stay on budget so we can keep rescuing at-risk kitties in our communities. We can’t thank you enough!
