Hey there, I'm Chartreuse! Yes, like the color. I got my name from my eyes, a bright yellow-green that really pops against all this shiny black fur. I'm 12 weeks old and already have a toy collection, including a tiny burger I take very seriously. I'm more of a meat and greet kind of kitten. October is Black Cat Awareness Month, so it's the purr-fect time to come say hi. Click the link in the bio to meet me!

Hey there, I'm Woodstock! 🐈‍⬛ I'm 7 months old and fully stocked with cuddles, curiosity, and zoomies. I'm good with other cats too, so if you already have a furry roommate, knock on wood, we'll get along great. Don't let the black fur fool you. I'm not here to trick you, only to treat you. Come meet me, because I think we'd be a purr-fect fit! Click the link in the bio to meet me!

💔 182 days. That’s how long Binary Fission has been waiting for someone to choose him. For six months, he’s watched people walk past his cage, meet other cats, and leave with their new best friends. And Binary Fission is still here. Still waiting. We know why finding his person has been hard. Binary Fission isn’t your typical cuddly cat. He’s got BIG energy, a little attitude, and strong opinions about when he wants to be touched. He’s easy to play with, but sometimes tough to pet. And life in a shelter cage is especially hard for a cat like him. But we’ve seen another side of Binary Fission. ❤️ In a foster home, where he had room to roam and space to be himself, he started seeking out affection, rubbing against legs, and even snuggling. That’s the cat we want someone to get to know. 🐾 His perfect person? Someone who loves a cat with personality. Someone who enjoys playtime, understands feline body language, and doesn’t need a lap cat to feel loved. Someone with a quiet, adult home, plenty of space to explore, and the patience to let a relationship grow on his terms. Maybe someone who works from home and would love an entertaining companion throughout the day. Binary Fission doesn’t need everyone to love him. He just needs ONE person who sees how special he is. 182 days is a long time to wait. We’d love for him to spend the rest of October discovering what it feels like to finally be home. ❤️ Could you be his person? Come meet Binary Fission at SAFE Haven for Cats. And if he’s not your match, please share his story. The person he’s been waiting for might be someone you know. #raleighnc #rescuecat #adoptme

Despite what you may have heard, black cats have a long history of being considered GOOD luck. British and Irish sailors once welcomed black cats aboard their ships because they believed they brought good fortune and safe travels. ⛵️🍀 So really, adopting a black cat might be the luckiest thing you do all year. And adopting TWO? We can only assume that doubles it. ✨ Sweetie Pie and Taven, our 9-years-young bonded Cats of the Month, are ready to test this theory. Type LUCKY in the comments below to get a link to meet these cats in your DMs!! Come boost your luck at SAFE Haven. 🖤🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ #adoptme #raleighnc #blackcat

It's Black Cat Awareness Month! 🖤 Contrary to old superstition, black cats aren't bad luck, they're just extra sleek, extra sassy, and extra deserving of a good home. All month, we're giving our black cats some well-earned main character energy. Meet our black cats by clicking the link in our bio!

Hi, I'm Crab Apple! 🐾 I'm a 17-week-old buff tabby and brown-spotted girl with a name as fun as my personality. I get along great with other cats, so I'd fit right in with some feline company already in the mix. I'm still young and growing every day, but I've already got plenty of curiosity and charm to share. Click the link in the bio to meet me at SAFE Haven for Cats!

Hey there, I'm Dex! King of head bonks and master of affection! 💕 I'm a sweet 2 year 9 month old brown tabby boy who absolutely LOVES being around people. Head bonks are my love language. I'll happily use them to let you know when I'm ready for some cuddles and attention. I'm a big fan of mealtime too, so we'll have plenty of bonding time over treats and meals! I'm Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) positive, but don't let that stop you from getting to know me. FIV doesn't define me or limit my ability to love. I've got so much affection to give. If you're looking for a sweet boy who will make you feel loved every single day, I might be your guy! I do best as a solo kitty or with selective cat friends who appreciate my laid-back vibe. Come meet me at SAFE Haven for Cats!

Hi, I'm Beef Stew! 🐾 I'm a 3-year-old brown tabby with a name that's basically a promise: hearty, comforting, and full of good stuff. I'm looking for a cozy home where I can be the star of the show, no roommates required (unless they're the right kind of cat friend). Toss in a soft bed and some good snacks, and I'm easy to please.

WE DID IT! 🎉 We reached our goal and got 107 cats adopted this August during Clear the Shelters Month. Spirit Week brought the energy, the costumes, and most importantly, the adoptions! Biggest thank you to all of the adopters, the sharers, the believers, and everyone who dressed up to make a difference. Clear the Shelters Month may be ending, but the impact will last forever. Meet the cats still looking for forever homes on our website. Link in bio.

🏠🐾 Come inside a SAFE Haven foster home! Ever wonder what it takes to foster a cat? Meet Jess and Justin, one of our amazing foster families, as they give you a tour of their foster room and show you how they make their temporary guests feel safe, comfortable, and loved. And here’s the best part: You don’t need to be a cat expert to foster. You need a little space, some time, and a big heart. 🩷 We’re looking for more foster families to open their homes to kitties in need. You can make a BIG difference for a cat while they wait for their forever home. 🐱 If you have a spare bedroom, office, bathroom, or other quiet space, you could give a SAFE Haven cat a comfortable place to stay. Apply on our website to become a foster family today! #raleighnc #fosterkittens #rescuecats
