A huge thank MEW to everyone who gave on Giving Tuesday and helped spread the word - together, we raised over $85,000 for cats in need like Violet.

Violet’s adoption journey wasn’t easy - she faced medical issues, stress, and even almost landed on the return list. With patience, love, and guidance from SAFe’s Adoption Retention Specialist, and all of SAFe's team, she slowly began to heal, settle in, and bond with her new feline brother, Tibby. Today, Violet is thriving, finally confident in her home where she is loved. Thanks to supporters like you, SAFe can help families through tough transitions and ensure more cats stay safe, cared for, and at home.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed today! We're closing storytime with Lupine's journey from tragedy to love.

Left alone in an apartment when her person passed away, Lupine endured so much. When she was eventually discovered, she was weak, frightened, and lonely. But her story didn't end there.

Once she was strong enough, Lupine was transported from Eastern Washington to SAFe, where she received the care, support, and pathway to adoption she needed to start over. ❤️‍🩹 Today, this resilient feline is in a new home, where she is showered in all the love and cuddles she could ask for!

Lupine's tale shows how SAFe’s network of partners and fosters can turn hardship into healing. With your support, more kitties like Lupine can find a better tomorrow.

There's only four hours left till midnight, and we're so close to reaching our goal of $100,000 for comfort, care, and crucial resources for kitties like Lupine! Can you help us in this final stretch? Any amount makes a life-changing difference!

📣This just in! A litter of itty-bitty, 3-week-old bottle babies arrived at the Rescue TODAY for a surprise!

These little ones are adorable, but they're also fighters, having survived through round-the-clock bottle feeding after their mother became too ill to nurse them. Thanks to committed caregivers and a community that won't back down, these pint-sized kitties can look forward to warmth, stability, and healing care on their path to adoption.

You can be a part of these kittens' journeys! Already, our compassionate community has raised over $58,000 (and counting) to support fragile felines in need. But the marathon isn't over yet! We have until midnight tonight to reach our goal of $100,000.

Every gift made today is a gift of hope for kitties who need it most. Together, we can save more lives! Donate here: https://saferescue.donorsupport.co/page/GivingTuesday2025

Thank you to everyone who has given so far!

Our next shout-out is for the Foster Kitties! 🐾

SAFe takes in cats who might otherwise be turned away—those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, or fragile bottle babies—and places them in foster homes where they can heal and prepare for adoption. This year alone, over 500 cats and kittens received round-the-clock care, bottle feeding, and specialized support thanks to our incredible fosters. They work so hard to ensure Rescue kitties are well-adjusted and healthy, and it shows!

There's currently just under $10,000 remaining in our match pool, doubling the impact of each donation you make. That means twice the critical support and resources to
give foster cats the safe start they deserve.

Our next kitty is Auggie! 🧡

Auggie arrived at SAFe with a broken jaw, neurological trauma, and blindness in one eye - conditions that would have put him at high risk of euthanasia in many other shelters. Thanks to quick medical care and SAFe’s dedicated team, he’s thriving today in a loving home.

This Giving Tuesday, your gift brings hope to more cats like Auggie. Thanks to a generous match from cat lovers within our community, all donations will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000. Give before midnight tonight to make twice the impact!

Join us in making this a stupendous Giving Tuesday for cats who need it most:

Good morning, cats and kittens! It's , and we want to start the day with a glimpse at the morning routine of our Cat Care Lead, Emily.

Emily is often the first to arrive at the Rescue, where she is greeted by a room full of bright eyes and curious whiskers. Before volunteers arrive, she does a roll call, making sure every resident is in the proper place.

Next, she takes notes about how each cat eats, looks, and acts. Does a cat prefer one texture of litter to another? How do they react when someone approaches? These are the sort of details Emily observes and tracks every day, for every kitty. This information helps us provide the best care possible for each cat that comes through SAFe's doors—including the extra special kitties whose stories we'll be sharing throughout the day.

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in remembering and celebrating some of our most heartwarming cat tales of the year. Your support is the reason we are able to tell these stories and more. ❤

You can be part of a brighter future for cats! Make your Giving Tuesday gift today at https://saferescue.donorsupport.co/page/GivingTuesday2025

is just around the corner! On December 2nd, our community comes together to make an enormous impact on kitties like Pip.

Does this cheeky lopsided grin look familiar? Pip was previously featured on our page for GiveBig! In fact, this tiny fighter has been charming the SAFe Team since March! From day one, Pip has been puzzling the medical team with his GI symptoms. Testing proved inconclusive, but we didn't want Pip's unusual medical chart to prevent him from finding a place to settle down.

Rather than sending Pip through our normal foster-to-adoption pipeline, we developed a new program called "fospice"— a form of long-term foster care where Pip can enjoy all the perks of a home environment while remaining in the Rescue's care. This keeps Pip comfortable while maintaining his consistent access to medical resources.

So far, we've seen terrific results! Pip is happier and healthier, and it's all thanks to the support of amazing people like you!

Giving Tuesday is the purrfect opportunity to amplify your impact for cats like Pip. Keep watching this space as we share more feline journeys, Rescue updates, exciting donation matches, and more.

It's not too soon to make a gift! Visit https://saferescue.donorsupport.co/page/GivingTuesday2025 and help us start Giving Tuesday right!

Nothing keeps cold away like bringing a warm kitty home to stay! 🐾 Our November adopters know this well, and thanks to them, 110 sets of toe beans have scampered home! Thank you to everyone who added a furry friend to their family, whether it was last month, last year, or any time at all!

As our week of winds to a close, we want to take a moment to share our gratitude for each and every one of you!💗

No matter what has brought you to SAFe, you play a vital role in this community. Your time, energy, and generosity make our mission possible, and every act of care helps create brighter, safer lives for cats in desperate need of a chance. We couldn’t do this without you, and the love you share is felt in every purr, every cuddle, and every happy adoption.

However you observe this season of gratitude, we hope you are able to rest, rejuvenate, and know that your contributions are making the world a better place for our feline friends.🐾

Today we are for the teamwork that makes the dream work! Each member of our staff and board bring their unique skills, experiences, and enthusiasm to the table. Whatever hardships a cat has faced before arriving at SAFe Rescue, once they’re here, they find kindness and hope thanks to the unwavering devotion of the SAFe Rescue Team. (Not that we’re biased or anything. 😸)

Featured in this photo are Board Members at this year’s Nine Lives Gala, serving feline fabulousness!

Happy Tuesday! We’re today for the donors whose generosity fills the bowls, beds, and hearts of kitties like Duffy!

With one week away, we’ve been thinking a lot about how compassion is shared through our community. A purrfect example of this is our Helping Paw Circle, a group of over 350 individuals who make a monthly donation to support cats at the Rescue. Coming from all ages and backgrounds, their shared commitment to helping cats is a lifeline for kitties who need it most.

Winter may be the season of gift-giving, but your support keeps the giving spirit alive all year long. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sharing a helping paw. 🐾
