Safe Haven for Animals

" Safe Haven for Animals operates a free roam environment, no-kill shelter located in Scottsdale, Arizona, providing care for approximately 65 cats at any given time, with the population increasing significantly during kitten season. Our primary objective is to place every companion animal in a loving, safe home. The animals received at Safe Haven's shelter which are not adopted will always have food, shelter, veterinary care, love and a safe place to live out their lives. " Safe Haven for Animals was started in late 2004 as a non-profit, no-kill shelter. We’ve taken in sick, elderly, neglected, abused, and abandoned kitties in addition to the lost or those whose lives became collateral damage due to moves, break-ups, new couches, and other human issues. There are no paid staff members with Safe Haven for Animals; the dedicated work is performed solely by volunteers. Funding for our approximately $40,000 annual expenses for rent, utilities, repairs, medical care, food, litter, and other supplies are maintained exclusively by donation of money, time, supplies, independent grants we apply for, garage sale fundraisers (with donated items), and adoption fees ($79-89). The number of animals we can serve is very dependent on our finances. Relief for these expenses come from the very community we serve, and we humbly ask everyone we come in contact with to consider Safe Haven as a cause to get behind. Any monetary assistance we receive goes directly toward our operating expenses and keeping our doors open for as long as we can. Our promise to these living, breathing, miraculous individual souls is for a lifetime.
