No Pet Left Behind

About Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary

SEPTEMBER 2026 UPDATE: Due to the flooding of our sanctuary on Broadway this summer we are currently housing a small number of cats at St. Paul’s UMC (United Methodist Church)

In our main room, we’ll allow 8 people in at a time, and in the feral cat room, we’ll allow up to 3 visitors at a time. We are asking for a small $3 fee to enter, and depending on the number of visitors, we will run half-hour time slots to give everyone a chance to visit with the kitties. Our staff will be available to assist with this change and to answer any questions you may have. Don’t worry, this door fee is NOT permanent! This is to help keep donations coming in as we navigate our way into a permanent home. Our hope is to find a new building soon so you can visit with the kitties for free.

CURRENT visiting hours:

Friday: 12-6 PM

Saturday: 12-4 PM

Sunday: 12-4 PM

Address is 341 Wilson Avenue, Green Bay, WI 54303 (Door 5, a double door on Wilson Ave (not parking lot side) and it is closest to the corner of Kellog St)

About SHPS: At Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary, it is our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, care for, and find forever homes for cats and dogs with special needs and disabilities as well as provide education on their care and nutritional needs. We believe that every pet has the right to the best possible life and that having a special need or disability shouldn’t mean the end of it.

Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary operates as a 501(c)(3) no-kill, cage-free sanctuary focusing on cases of abuse, neglect, hoarding situations, FIV+, FELV+, blindness, paralysis, missing limbs, and other physical and psychological disabilities. When we have capacity*, we also accept neonatal kittens and puppies along with senior cats and dogs. Animals in our care are only euthanized when they are experiencing suffering and there are no further options available. *In-house or with fosters.

Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary rescues hundreds of animals per year, and operates 100% on donations. With the help of our generous donors and sponsors, we hope to be able to continue our goal to leave “no pet left behind” for many years to come.

Anyone is welcome to visit the sanctuary during open hours. We have free WIFI for studying and relaxing, and plenty of comfy couches to relax on. Check out our used bookstore inside the sanctuary, Haven Books, for affordable reads benefitting our mission! See our current events for fun activities, such as yoga with kitties, and more! We are proud to be the rescue partner of The Pawffee Shop Cat Cafe in Appleton, WI, where we have had over 200 cats adopted out of since 2019!
