purchases are tax deductable and all proceeds directly benefit
the Sanctuary. Stop by soon to check out our vast selection

A Message to Our Fellow Animal Lovers
February 4, 2009
While many animal shelters are closing their doors due to lack
of funding, two Southeast Missouri No-Kill shelters are merging
to better care for the area’s displaced animals.
Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary in Jackson and SunDog
Cat Sanctuary in Bloomfield are merging. This means that
Safe Harbor's feline population will double, so in order to
do this the animals need YOUR help. The merge has created an
immediate need for a new building on Safe Harbor's property.
That’s why we’re launching the "Give Me Shelter"
capital campaign effective immediately!
First and foremost we need money for the structure and excavation.
The estimate for this project is $60,000.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
- Make a tax deductible donation. Any amount no matter how
large or small is welcome. Write a check and send it to the
address above or donate securely online at our website. We
will send you a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.
(Did we mention that it’s tax-deductible?)
- Promote awareness and help us raise funds by asking friends
and family to do the same. (Print out our "Give Me Shelter"
Building Fund Flyer and give out copies to all spread the
word.) A whole bunch of small donations make a huge difference!
- Volunteer your time. We need electricians, plumbers, and
construction workers to help us build the new, expanded facility.
And if you’re not great with a hammer, don’t forget
that we ALWAYS need Pet Care Volunteers at the Sanctuary.
Safe Harbor is operated 100% by volunteers who generously
donate a few hours a week.
- Adopt one of our Adorable Adoptables! You can see all of
our available pets on our website.
- Donate much needed supplies — Building Supplies and
Pet Care Supplies are needed. (See the “Donate”
page of our website for “Our Wish List” of needed
pet care supplies).
- Organize a fundraiser at your business, church or school!
With your help, by June 1st the cats can move into their new
shelter home, where they will be assured of sanctuary until
they are adopted into their FOREVER homes.
Please help us fulfill this dream. It's caring people like
you that enable shelters like ours to exist and give deserving
animals a second chance. We promise you will be blessed with
"warm fuzzy moments" when you open
your heart and make a donation.
We thank you for your continued support!

This is Building One of our current facility, which
is located in Cape Girardeau County. Our goal is to provide
a safe harbor for as many homeless cats and kittens as our facility
(and funds) can manage. We also maintain a small number of dog
kennels and runs for our small K-9 adoptables.
Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary is a no-kill, free-roam animal
shelter whose goal is to provide a safe refuge and find loving
lifelong owners for homeless cats and dogs in Cape Girardeau
County and the neighboring area. With the help of local veterinarians,
all animals of the appropriate age who come into Safe Harbor’s
care are spayed or neutered, and are given basic inoculations.
Care, maintenance, and veterinary care are costly. You can
help by supporting SHAS events, becoming a volunteer, purchasing
Safe Harbor merchandise, or making a generous, tax-deductible
donation.
You can make a difference.
