Does anyone have any hardtop crates (cat sized) they’d be willing to donate to us?

We unfortunately have to dispose of the majority of ours due to a virus that isn’t worth the risk of keeping them, which leaves us with only a few left and we really need them for transporting, especially when we do large spay/neuter appointments.

Thank you!!

💫 2024 In Review 💫

Though we are a smaller organization that only started up in 2022 we still feel that we had a great year in 2024 helping the cat community.
For transparency, some of our statistics are as follows:

😸 2 new members on our board of directors
😼 65 intakes!!
😻 55 adoptions!!
😸 114 spays and neuters!!! many of which were to help the community
😽 ending 2024 with 29 cats in our care, most of which are currently awaiting adoption
🙀 $6,930.18 spent on spays and neuters!!!!
😻 $3,787.44 donations received!!!
😼 $2,000 in grants received!!!

What do we anticipate 2025 to look like for us?
✨ more adoptions
✨ obtaining more funds for community outreach, vet assistance, etc.
✨ the ability to intake dogs & puppies
✨ continued support from our community

We would love to double ALL of our figures for 2025 but can’t do it without YOUR help.
How can you help?
🌟 apply to adopt and/or spread the word to others about adoption
🌟 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 do 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
🌟 SPAY & NEUTER YOUR PETS

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 2025!!!

An 8-year-old boy from Arizona demonstrated a serious act of kindness when he gave up his skateboard to save a kitten.

Friendly reminder, especially during the holiday season:

We are 100% volunteer run.
Every person involved in our day-to-day operations works full-time jobs too, outside of the rescue. And it may be hard to believe, but we also have lives outside of rescuing and working…

We ask for patience and understanding when it comes to response times. Especially during the holiday’s.
We do the best we can, and we get several messages per day. You can always send us a second message to put yourself back to the top if it’s important or adoption related.
We’re just doing this for the welfare of the cats. We’re not here to make money OR people please.

We hope everyone has a happy holiday season and we look forward to sharing our year end results with you all!! 🤍🐱

Thank you so much for your continued support.

It’s a special day at The Boring Safe Haven… it’s our founder, Sidnee’s birthday!

We want to wish the happiest of birthdays to our girl who deserves the world and more.

The Boring Safe Haven Society would not exist without Sidnee and her blood, sweat and tears she has wholeheartedly poured into this rescue, day in and day out.

The animals who have came and gone, some for lifers, your personal farm of animals, and us on the board love you so much!

Happy birthday Sidnee and thank you for everything you do 🩷✨🪩🐈‍⬛

From today’s adoption event, we’re so happy to say that our brother sister duo, Flash and Lily were adopted together!! 🥹

This is so bittersweet for us, especially having Flash since he was a tiny four weeker. These two are blossoming into such fun, loving, crazy kids.

We’re grateful for everyone who took the time to show our tiny kids some love and attention at Coastal. We will be back on the 23rd! 🩷

11/02/2024

We are here at the Gresham Coastal with our kitties settling in! We will be here till 2pm 😇

Come say hi and take home a kitty or two 😉

Each week we are inundated with requests of people wanting to surrender owned and found pets.
Each week we have to say no more than we say yes.
And each week our hearts break when we can’t do more.

Please be a responsible pet owner.
Please spay/neuter your pets. Please advocate for others to spay/neuter their pets as well.
Please budget for the costs of vet care and daily care for their basic needs prior to adopting an animal. Just as you would if you were to have a child, buy a car, etc.
Please hire a trainer if your dog needs extra guidance on how you’d like them to behave. If your dog is aggressive, the sad reality is that they don’t have a chance outside of a home with you.
Please exhaust all resources before deciding to rehome your pet. There are so many programs around for financial assistance, food assistance, training, etc.
Please understand that a free kitten will cost you anywhere from $200-$700 to spay/neuter. That doesn’t even include vaccines.
Please understand that a $150 puppy will cost you $500-$1,500 to spay/neuter. This also doesn’t include vaccines.
Please remember that emergency surgeries can be thousands of dollars and that emergencies do happen.
Please realize that these animals are living, breathing beings, and they count on you. They need you. They will live life spans of 5-20+ years. They are not disposable.
Please reach out if you ever need resources.
But please, please, please don’t be upset when we have to tell you no.
Please remember, this is all your responsibility, not ours, we are just here picking up the pieces, making a small dent in a very, very big problem.

We made a TikTok! We’ve been talking about creating one for a while, just never got around to it. We thought it would be a good idea to have some cute, fun videos of some of the kitties under our care for the exposure of getting adopted. 🥹🤍

We’re definitely new to this, so be patient with us 😅

Our first video is a special guy, Big Tune. He’s just a sweetheart with a sad backstory, but he deserves all the love and attention he desires. In the caption is a little bit of his background, but a more descriptive version is in our adoption posts on here.

Give us a follow and let us know if there’s anything you’d enjoy seeing, as I know a bunch of kitties running around could be entertaining enough 🤪

Check out The Boring Safe Haven Society’s video.

SIX more cats trapped and ready for TNR from the house we’ve been working on containing overpopulation issues at since earlier this year.

With limited resources and our day to day rescue efforts taking precedence we still try to help with TNR’ing when we can.

At this single house, we have now trapped a total of 27 cats and that will soon be a total of 27 cats fixed!!
