Safe Haven 4 Cats SC

Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is a corporate non-profit 501 (c) (3), no kill, all volunteer organization founded to “Help Stop the Endless Cycle” of unwanted cats in Horry County: feral, homeless, abandoned, abused and neglected, through no fault of their own. Adoptable cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, receive veterinary care as needed, and are nurtured until a forever and loving home is found. We advocate and support Trap-Neuter-Release Feed (TNRF) programs and work with local veterinarians to provide low spay/neuter services to those cat owners who are unable to afford medical treatment. Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is dependent entirely on the public’s generosity through donations. Fundraising efforts and events are initiated with the sole purpose of providing a better quality of life for all cats. What We Do:
Volunteers educate the public to encourage the spaying/neutering of cats in order to reduce the senseless number of cats and kittens euthanized daily. We provide a low cost spay/neuter program for anyone needing assistance in getting feral or friendly cats spayed/neutered. Spay/neutering, Rabies vaccination, worming and flea treatment for $45 for male & $55 for females. Testing for FELV/FIV & FVRCP Vaccinations are provided at a low additional cost and is recommended, but not required. It is recommended that Feral cats are ear-tipped for identification purposes and returned to their colony and is included in cost of spay/neuter, there is no additional cost. Cats that are suitable for adoption are tested for feline leukemia (FELV) and feline aids (FIV), wormed, provided flea treatment, spayed/neutered, receive distemper vaccinations, etc., to assure that they are healthy and sociable. If you need help in trapping a feral cat, we can lend you traps and some assistance in trapping. Foster homes are provided for friendly, domesticated cats and kittens until a permanent honey is found. Volunteers trap and transport feral/free roaming cats to one of our low cost spay/neuter clinics where they are sterilized and given their rabies vaccinations. Feral cats are ear-tipped for identification purposes and returned to their colony. Additional medical care is rendered as needed. Feral colonies are monitored daily by volunteers and provided with fresh food and water so that they remain healthy. Feral kittens are fostered and nurtured in a loving home in order to acclimate them for adoption. Cats that are in a dangerous or abused and neglected situation are relocated to a safe environment after receiving preventative veterinary care. Our Goals:
Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is relentless in protecting the feline population in the Horry County area. Dedicated to reducing the number of unwanted cats and kittens through adoptions, we aim to provide a safe and secure sanctuary where homeless and unadoptable cats will be able to live out their remaining years in a safe and sheltered environment. With continued growth in our membership and volunteer network, we are certain that we can make a positive difference in the lives of cats and kittens throughout our area. I am Virginia Talley one of the executive officers of Safe Haven 4 Cats SC.

All cats and kittens must be vetted, spayed/ neutered and tested for FIV and FELV before adoption can take place. We adopt through petsmart, petsense, and through foster homes. Our adoption fee is $75 for kittens and $55 for older cats. We do have a contract that must be signed that specifies no declawing and cats must be kept indoors. Our contract also says that if the adoption does not work out for any reason we will always take the cat back with no questions asked.
