Save Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary

Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary was established in 2003 by three individuals driven by a strong desire to help the many stray, feral, and unwanted cats in Alachua County. The sanctuary is located in High Springs, Florida, which is about 20 minutes outside of Gainesville, Florida. Since its inception, no cat that has needed help has been turned away.

Cats that live at the sanctuary are kept on a healthy diet (Science Diet) and are provided with safe, secure housing. Along with being spayed/neutered they are also provided with any other medical attention needed. Many of the cats are adoptable and wait for a forever home to come get them. Cats that are less adoptable due to age, temperament, or color have a safe, loving home at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives.

We the undersigned, petition to stop the closure of Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary currently located in High Springs Florida.  We hear everyday of the animals running the streets abandoned, starving, and dying.  But through the efforts of a small group of caring individuals a safe haven had been created for them.  We sincerely ask for a chance for the haven to keep helping these cats have a home; we ask for them to have a second chance at life.  These animals did not ask to be brought into this world to be abandoned and unloved.  All they want is a safe place and a family to belong with.  And for those unlucky enough not to find a home else where,  know that at least here they can live out their lives. Please do not take away one of the few places they can call home.
