💔 They’ve Been Waiting Over a Year… Could You Be Their Forever? 💔

These sweet cats have been in our care for over a year, patiently watching others find homes while they continue to wait. Each of them has made incredible progress, learned to trust, and are ready for the next chapter of their lives — a forever home of their own.

Some are bonded pairs who need to stay together, while Trinity can be adopted on her own. They all thrive with patience, love, and understanding, and each would make a truly special companion for the right family.

🐾 Adoption Fees:
• Bonded pairs: $100 per pair
• Trinity: $75

Adopting a long-term resident isn’t just giving a cat a home — it’s giving them the happy ending they’ve been waiting so long for. If you’ve been thinking about adoption, this could be your sign. 💕

Please read their descriptions included below their photos.

📩 Message us to learn more or apply to adopt.
🐱 Please share to help these deserving kitties find their forever families!

🐾 Day 6 Fundraising Update for Kaida ❤️‍🩹

We wanted to share a meaningful update on Kaida and her journey.

We’ve received a second opinion from another veterinarian, who is now sharing Kaida’s updated X-rays with an additional doctor for further review thag we will also provide to our friends at Guardian.
We’re being as thorough as possible to make sure we understand every option and choose the best path forward for her care.

No matter the outcome, one thing remains certain: Kaida will need long-term care. That’s why we are continuing to fundraise — ongoing medical support, monitoring, and pain management will all be part of her journey.

We also have some happy news to share…. Kaida’s brother, Griffon, was fixed today 💙. Thanks to your support, we’re able to keep helping her and other animals in our care at the same time.

As of today, we’ve raised $1,190.52 across our donation platforms toward our $4,000 goal. Every dollar raised gives Kaida more comfort, more options, and more hope for a better future.

If you’re able to donate, please know how deeply grateful we are. If you can’t, sharing Kaida’s story truly makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Kaida, with Griffon, and with all the animals who depend on this community. ❤️🐾

Just want to make a post saying that we are so grateful for the support we received so far for not only Kaida’s pending surgery but also the support we’ve received fundraising for Valentine’s Day through See’s Candies 🍭🩶

We appreciate each and every one of you, so much. We can’t help these innocent and deserving little souls without you.

Please know that we see every single donation, share, post you tag us in, and we feel the love. And while we may be slow at responding at times and can’t always thank every person individually, we see you and we value you.

We want to do more, be more, and we absolutely can with all of you by our side.

Please continue sharing who we are and our mission with people that you know.
We would love to continue growing our following. Please invite your friends and family to follow our Facebook as this is where we are most present.
We also have Instagram and TikTok.

Being seen, heard, and having loyal followers is the best way for us to continue growing our little rescue community we’ve been creating these last few years.

With love always,
The Boring Safe Haven crew 💗✨

🌟 Day 3 Fundraising Update for Kaida — We’re Getting Closer ❤️‍🩹

Thanks to your extraordinary support, we’ve now raised $1,034.52 toward our new goal of $3,000! We are so grateful for every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement. You are giving us and Kaida real hope.

Here’s where we stand:
We still need to hit $3,000 to schedule Kaida’s surgery.

Right now, we’re over one-third of the way there, but time is critical and Kaida’s pain hasn’t waited — we can’t wait either. Every dollar we raise now moves us closer to booking her procedure and giving her a fresh start, and that’s why we need your help until we hit our goal.

Kaida deserves so much more than hurt. She deserves comfort. Movement. Joy. A life without constant pain. And with your help, we can make that possible.

Please donate if you can — and if you can’t, please share her story.
Every share, every message, and every dollar brings us closer to that life-changing surgery 🩶

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us and with Kaida.

Day 2 Fundraising Update for Kaida — We Need You ❤️‍🩹

Because of your kindness, we’ve raised $628.51 toward our $4,000 goal in just two days. Every single dollar has brought Kaida closer to relief, and we are so incredibly thankful.

Here’s why this matters right now: if we can reach $3,000, we can schedule Kaida’s surgery. We’re already nearly one-third of the way there, but time is critical, and she is still living with daily pain, though we and her foster’s are managing that pain as best as possible.

Kaida deserves more than just getting by; she deserves to run, rest, and live without hurting. This surgery is her chance at a second shot at a pain-free life, and we cannot do this without you.

Please consider donating if you can, and share her story if you’re unable to give. Every share helps, every dollar matters, and together we can get her the care she desperately needs.

Thank you for standing with us, and with Kaida on the road to her recovery ❤️‍🩹

💛 FUNDRAISING UPDATE FOR KAIDA 💛

Because of you, today alone we’ve raised $462.51 across Facebook, PayPal, and Venmo. We cannot thank you enough for showing up for Kaida so quickly—every single dollar truly matters, and every act of kindness is felt.

That said, we still have about $4,000 left to raise to get Kaida the FHO surgery she desperately needs. We know that’s a huge number. It feels big to us too. But we also know what this surgery means: relief from constant pain and the chance for Kaida to live a comfortable, happy, mobile life.

If you’re able to donate—whether it’s $5, $10, or more—you are directly helping move her closer to surgery day. And if donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this post is just as powerful. One share can put Kaida’s story in front of the right person at the right time.

We’re pushing forward because Kaida deserves every chance. Thank you for standing with us, believing in her, and helping us take this next step—together. 🧡🖤

🐾 Kaida is so loved—and she feels it because of you. 🐾

You may remember this adorable duo we introduced to the rescue back on December 1st 💛🩶
Now officially named Griffon (orange tabby boy) and Kaida (dilute torti girl).

Shortly after intake, we noticed that Kaida had an unusual gait and appeared uncomfortable using her back end. We wasted no time getting her seen by Guardian Veterinary Care, hoping for answers—and unfortunately, the news was heartbreaking.

Kaida is likely suffering from hip dysplasia, with her pelvis sitting approximately 20–35 degrees out of normal alignment with her spine. This misalignment is the result of a fracture to her lower spine, consistent with either being stomped on or struck by a vehicle. No matter the cause, the outcome is the same: Kaida is in significant pain in both hind legs.

Since her diagnosis, we’ve been doing everything we can to keep her comfortable—pain medication, strict activity restriction, and close monitoring—while determining the best path forward.

Thanks to Guardian, a specialist was able to review Kaida’s case, and the recommendation at this time is for her to undergo FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) surgery, which offers her the best chance at a pain-free, mobile life.

💔 The hard truth: This surgery was completely unexpected, and as a rescue, we cannot afford it without help. There is a large sliding scale of how costly the surgery may be, but we’re looking anywhere from $2,000-$4,500 range.

👉 This is where YOU come in.
Kaida’s future depends on this surgery—and every single dollar matters. Whether you’re able to donate $5, $20, or more, your contribution goes directly toward giving Kaida relief from constant pain and the chance to live the happy, active life she deserves.

🐾 If you can’t donate, please SHARE. Sharing her story helps us reach someone who can. One click could change her life.

✨ Please donate, share, and help us give Kaida a second chance.
Together, we can turn her pain into hope—and her story into a happy ending.

💫 2025 In Review 💫

Honestly, we think 2025 has been our best year yet…
We heavily ramped our community involvement. To name a few:
- Hosted our first online auction
- Partnered with Hazel’s House for a couple adoption events
- Had our first local adoption event in Boring
- Participated and had a parade float in the Sandy Mountain Days Festival Parade
- Participated in fundraising events involving kitten cuddles
- Hosted our first holiday bazaar with such great vendors

For what we did with the kitties this year ~
😼 57 intakes!!
😻 59 adoptions!!
😸 68 spays and neuters!!! Some of which were to help the community
😽 ending 2025 with 21 cats in our care, most of which are currently awaiting adoption

What do we anticipate 2026 to look like for us?
✨ focusing in on supporting the cats and kittens of Clackamas County first and then other counties when we’re able to
✨ more intakes & more adoptions
✨ continuing fundraising efforts
✨ continued support for AND from our community

We would love to double ALL of our figures for 2026 but can’t do it without YOUR help.
How can you help?
🌟 Apply to adopt and/or spread the word to others about adoption, whether it’s from us, another rescue or your local animal shelter
🌟 Apply to become a foster, we absolutely cannot do this without fosters
🌟 Share what we’re doing within the community - spread the word!!
🌟 Donate - whether monetary (we would love some recurring donors), or in-kind donations like food, bedding, litter, toys, supplements, vaccines, etc.
We have an Amazon Wishlist.
We have an account with BottleDrop.
We are part of the Fred Meyer Community Rewards program.
Reach out to us for more info on these!!
🌟 Offer to help us by donating your time to transport - we need help with transporting to the vet and to our spay/neuter clinics
🌟 Instead of surrendering kittens to be given up for free at your local feed store, consider reaching out to us first. We would love to help if we have the capacity, or at least facilitate finding another rescue to help.
🌟 SPAY & NEUTER YOUR PETS - whether they’re indoor only, indoor & outdoor, outdoor only, stray or feral, do it!!! Ask us for help if you don’t have the funds or resources 💜

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone that helped us have a great year and helped us continue to make an impact on the surrounding community.

Let’s ramp it up once again in 2026!!!!

Hazel's House is always so kind to us 💗🐱

Not the most organized picture but….. a huge thank you for the wet and dry kitten food and the gastro dry food!!

We appreciate you always and this will be an immense help to us. Also remaining hopeful that the gastrointestinal diet will get some of our GI sensitive kitties on the fast track to healing their guts!
