Safe
Haven is a no-kill animal rescue group
serving Kennebunk,
Wells and the rest of southern York County, Maine. We are dedicated to
the "radical" notion that all companion animals deserve a loving and
comfortable life.
As a "virtual" shelter, we have no expensive buildings, vehicles or executive salaries. We also have no handsome endowments to pay our bills. We are all unpaid volunteers who depend on YOU and people like you for the funds we need to pay for spaying, neutering, medical care, rehabilitation, transportation and supplies for the cats in our foster care.
Every penny you donate goes directly to the care and feeding of the animals in our care. Because we are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, contributions are generally tax deductible. Consult your tax advisor to be sure.
We promote spaying and neutering, adoption of shelter and rescue animals, humane rescue of feral cats and educating our community on how they can help and become involved.
Our mission is to provide temporary sanctuary for abused, abandoned and unwanted companion animals of our community, a place where they may experience compassion and healing. We promote humane treatment, responsible pet care, and the prevention of cruelty through example and education."
We believe the best place for homeless animals is in a temporary loving home until a permanent one can be found. Safe Haven volunteers provide this caring environment, and the patience and socialization they need to enter a new life with a person of their onw.
Interested in opening your heart and home to one of our homeless animals? Foster care is very rewarding for both the animal and the caregiver. You do NOT have to be home all day to provide quality foster care. It's not difficult. Hang out, watch TV together, wave a cat toy at him, make sure he's got food and water and the occasional treat. It's easy and fun. And that warm feeling you get is as good as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's night.
Contact us and we'll provide all the information and training you'll need. We'll even pay for your foster's food and litter, if that's an issue. Please don't let that hold you back.

As a grassroots organization, we have no big endowments. (No small ones, either.) Your tax- deductible donations are our only source of funding. Even $5 or $10 really helps. Please mail a check or use our secure website:
