As you start to gather your Thanksgiving feast, pick up a package of cat treats so that Kitty can join in safely on the special day. Let’s all give thanks for everything we have.

To ensure kitty's safety during Halloween Trick or Treating hours, try enclosing kitty in a SAFE room with the door closed. No one wants to have an accidental escape during the festivities! And lots of doorbell ringing can be upsetting for kitty too. Happy Halloween to all. Be sure to give Kitty a cat-approved treat for himself.

Halloween pet safety tip:
KEEP CANDY/TREATS OUT OF REACH - There are many types of treats that cats should not ingest -- they can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even Death! Even Small Amounts can be fatal!! So, it’s best to keep candy sealed and completely out of reach. If you want to "test" a few pieces yourself while you await the next doorbell ring, remember not to leave the wrappers or any remnants of the sweet treat in a place where kitty can find it. (Who cares what your scale says on the day after Halloween...it is, after all, only one day per year!)

Research suggests that the frequency of a cat's purr can have therapeutic effects on the human body. Specifically, the vibrations caused by a cat's purr have been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and even promote healing. Sending many thanks to the kitties!

17 years of giving and receiving love. So heart-wrenching to let go, but their treasured memories will remain forever. Our beloved cats may not be with us for our whole life, but we can be with them for theirs. To all those who have loved and lost, may your hearts mend knowing you gave them a wonderful life that they would not otherwise have had. That is what adoption and cat rescue is all about. SAFER sends our love and prayers to all the Kitties who have departed and all the Kitty Angels who loved them.

On average, cats sleep between 13 and 14 hours in a 24-hour day. Seems fair considering the energy they expend on eating, grooming, and zoomies. Time for a rest…wishing everyone a Happy Labor Day!

Over a decade later, our hero STEVE NICHOLS is Still rescuing cats from trees! In August 2024, we called Steve for help. A cat that did not appear to have an owner was stuck high in a tree. But that didn’t matter to Steve. He came right over and climbed the tree. The cat continued to go higher, but Steve was persistent. Eventually, the cat was able to jump off safely and run away. Steve would not accept any payment from SAFER or the homeowner! We cannot thank Steve enough for his prompt and amazing service. Read about his earlier rescue of Fester (www.safercats.com/beaver-tree-service). If you need tree service or a cat rescue, please contact Steve Nichols, Beaver Tree Services, Seabrook, NH (603-997-6872, [email protected]). He is One Terrific Guy!

Introducing a New Kitten to Your Resident Cat: Give your new kitten a room of his own with the door closed. Include a litter box, food bowl, water bowl, a hiding and sleeping area, and plenty of toys to keep him occupied (but be sure to spend lots of time in the room with your him AND dote on your Resident Kitty when you leave). The cats will sniff each other under the door. Once they are calm while smelling each other under the door, take something from the kitten’s room that has his scent and place it outside the room so that the resident cat can smell it. Let the resident cat investigate it in his own time. When the he is comfortable with this new scent, open the door - but separate the doorway with baby gates or screen. This allows the cats to see and smell each other without touching until they realize there is no danger from the other cat. Be patient. It may take several days. Once they are both comfortable, you can open the door and show the new kitten each room slowly and under supervision. They will eventually get used to each other, and you will have a happy family. Part cat ownership is regular vet check-ups. If not already vetted, schedule your kitten’s first visit.

Please don’t overlook us when you want a new companion. We black cats need homes too.
Did you know that Black Cats are the last ones to be adopted from shelters. Please give us a chance.
SAFER does not adopt out cats or kittens. We rescue them, vet them, and turn them over to other shelters. The other shelters adopt them out. You can find a list of local shelters at: www.safercats.com/adoptions

This is 4-year-old handsome sweet Roy and he is looking for his forever home! Let me, his Foster Mom, explain with a short story. He came to our Florida winter home in February 2023; we thought he was a neighborhood kitty. He came back again in March 2024 in pretty bad shape, starving and had a paw he couldn't put any weight on. Yup, his owners had LEFT HIM! After successfully trapping him, he went to the Humane Society to get a chance at life, got neutered, all his shots, de-wormed (twice), and then up for adoption. Nobody came (4 yr. old black cat). Then he went to PetSmart and they told me nobody ever comes to look at him. I just couldn't take it...he's coming to Maine and we will find him his forever family. So, here we are 3 months in, and he has realized he can be loved and fed and have a nice comfy bed to sleep in. He is a sweetie and even our vet said she could tell he was a really nice cat! But...I'm not going to sugar coat it, as sweet as he is, he does from time to time want to grab your leg and nip you. Remember, this was a kitty that was an abandoned Tom Cat, all out survival! He gets frustrated that he doesn't get to be outside (I have let him out on occasion, and he does not take off, he just wants to smell his world) and he is frustrated that there are our two cats in his orbit, they call it “redirected aggression.” There is no love between them. So, if you feel you could be his world as his forever home, just want to meet him, or want to talk about him, call me. Just know I will do my due diligence in checking you out! He deserves a much better life than what he had in Florida. Please contact Bonnie Kretchman: 603-498-2822.

TNR (Trap Neuter Return) works. Since 1998, SAFER has rescued over 4,000 cats, kittens, strays, lost, hurt, and feral cats. All cats get veterinary care, spay/neuter, and are put up for adoption unless they are too feral (never been touched by humans and are unable to adapt for adoption).
Feral cats are vetted and ear-tipped (small tip of left ear tip is removed while under anesthesia by a veterinarian so that the cat can be identified once returned to the cat’s original location). SAFER cares for these feral cats every day with shelter, water, food, and vet care for the remainder of their lives. Lost cats may be returned to their home, if one can be identified.
Every donation SAFER receives is used for this TNR endeavor. We are extremely grateful for your support; without it SAFER could not help the Seacoast Area cats. www.SAFERcats.com

Happy 4th. Be safe, take extra care of your pets, and enjoy!

Keep the 4th of July HAPPY! More cats get lost on the 4th of July than any other day of the year! Here are some tips to help keep your cat safe. Keep Cats Indoors – Even street savvy cats can become fearful and panic from firecracker noise and the burning smell they cause. Sadly, there are some people in this world who delight in deliberately frightening animals by tossing firecrackers in their direction. It would be very easy for a cat, trying to escape, to run into oncoming traffic. Many people begin their fireworks fun before July 4th. Keep your cat indoors a few days before the holiday. If you have an exclusively outdoor cat, bring her indoors. Veterinary clinics are very busy on July 5th with holiday-related injuries. NO Glowsticks – The popular glowsticks that kids wear as jewelry or use outdoors at night can cause irritation if chewed. Keep these things out of your cat’s reach. Update Identification, Current Photo, Microchip – Even if you always keep your cat indoors, make sure her identification is current. It’s easy for a kitty to slip out the door while in a panicky state and end up lost, injured or even dead. Microchipping is the safest method of identification but it’s no good if you haven’t updated your information with the registry. Collars with identification should also be used and keep the tag information current. Sanctuary Room – If you’re entertaining guests or you’re going to be away, set up a sanctuary room for your cat. Include all the resources she’ll need. Most cats feel safer when they feel they’re not so out in the open. Create hideaways for your cat by setting up a high-sided bed (a donut bed or A-shaped bed) or put a few boxes on their sides and line them with towels. Periodically, go in and check on your cat in a very casual way just to see how she’s doing. Some cat parents have success with using plug-in pheromone therapy (Comfort Zone or Feliway) as a calming method. Play soft music to block the outdoor no
