Chose the above title to view our page of "thanks" to
Chilliwack businesses that have helped the Safe Haven in one way or another.

Where is the
Haven located?
Our facilities and office are located
at 49843 Chilliwack Central Road, 3.3 kms east of Cannor Nursery, on the
left. Please do NOT drop
off animals. Call our office instead (604-794-7233).
How do you help people
who can no longer care for or provide a home for their pet?
Cats: Our cat shelter is
already full, so we often are unable to take any more cats at the Haven. We do have several foster homes operating, so please call the office regarding options available to you.
Do we have to pay a fee
when dropping off our pet?
NO FEE IS
CHARGED,
although donations of any amount or supplies are always welcome. We also offer a pet sponsorship program, similar to the child sponsorship
programs for children in third world countries.
How does the pet
sponsorship program work?
Pet owners, and others who are unable
to provide a home for pets, may choose to financially sponsor an animal at
the Haven (either their own or one they like). Sponsors are welcome, and
encouraged, to visit their sponsored pet at the Haven whenever they are
able.

I want to adopt a
cat
To find a cat/kitten, come to the Haven between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on any day except Monday (open until 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays) or call the office to arrange a time.
What does it cost to
adopt a cat?
The adoption fee for cats is $115. This includes
spay/neuter, first shots, tattoo, de-fleaing and de-worming. If adopting a
kitten, it will not be spayed or neutered until around 6 months old. You
will have to bring the kitten to us at that age and we will take it in to be
done.
How long does a foster
home provide care?
The maximum foster time is normally one month. Once the Haven is fully operational, we will be continually adding to the housing facilities. Completion time is based on incoming
donations and volunteer labor.
What is your policy on
euthanasia?
The Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven
Society doesn't want to put any animal down. The decision to euthanise is
based on humane reasons only (illness, injuries and ability to recover) as
decided by an attending veterinarian. We want all animals to be adopted
into loving homes or to live out the remainder of their life at the Safe
Haven.
I found a cat and
can't keep it. What can I do?
Find out of the cat belongs to
someone by putting an ad in the paper. See if any of your neighbours know
where the cat came from. Contact a Vet's office to see if you can put an
ad in there, or ask if they know of anyone looking for a cat. Try and
find a home for it. If you can foster it temporarily we can put your name on
our waiting list for placement of the cat at the Haven.
I lost my cat. Do
you have it there?
Please call our office and we will
check our list of cats. If we don't have your pet, we will take down
your information in the event someone calls us about a found cat.
