Story, Mission, Vision

Kitty Haven Sanctuary is a home for senior and special needs cats.  It is a place where you can see senior cats resting or special needs cats playing.  There is people laughing and enjoying their time with the cats while hearts and bodies are healed.  Our Founder, Melissa Cowley, had a vision to create a Sanctuary where abandoned, neglected, and abused senior, special needs, or in need cats and kittens can live in safety and love while living in a cage free area until they go on to find their loving furever homes.  We rescue, rehabilitate, and work to find permanent homes for all the healthy cats whose time was up at public shelters, vet clinics, or rescues.

​

Kitty Haven Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer based, no kill, cage free sanctuary for senior, special needs, and semi feral cats and kittens.

Our mission is to provide lifetime care for senior, special needs, and semi feral cats and kittens with a safe haven to ensure they can live out their lives in love, dignity, comfort, compassion, and with companionship throughout their lives.

Unlike traditional shelters that emphasize adoption, the primary purpose of Kitty Haven Sanctuary is to provide exceptional medical care and a loving, safe haven for the senior, special needs, and semi feral cats deemed unadoptable due to age, chronic illness, physical disabilities, temperament and behavioral issues, abuse, medical issues, or other factors. 

Kitty Haven Sanctuary was founded on the belief that all cats deserve a second chance at life because every cat matters no matter their age, physical disability, or temperament.
