Animal Haven accepted 22 adult cats and 6 kittens, several  of which have injuries and need significant medical attention before they are ready for adoption. Monetary donations are needed to help us care for these cats, as well as the other 220 homeless animals at Animal Haven. You can donate online or donations can be dropped off at our Adoption Center located at 9800 W. 67th Street in Merriam, KS between 12:00pm and 8:00pm Wednesday through Friday, and 10:00am – 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday.

We need your help to make this holiday season a special one for our pets.  Animal Haven is participating in the A Dog Named Christmas – Foster A Lonely Pet for the Holidays program.  The purpose of this program is to place adoptable pets into appropriate foster homes for all or part of the holiday season.  Most of the pets qualifying for this program are altered, vaccinated and free of any medical conditions preventing adoption.  Some puppies or kittens in the program may still need to be spayed or neutered.

Homes participating in the “A Dog Named Christmas” foster care program have the option to adopt their foster pet after the foster period is complete.  Homes participating in this special foster care program also have the option to continue in Animal Haven’s traditional foster care program after training if they so choose.

Application & Participation

To participate in the program, applications must be received by Animal Haven no later than end of business on Friday, December 20, 2009.   Applications can be picked up at Animal Haven or at any information session.  Applications must be completed in full prior to processing.  Decisions are made on applications as they are received. 

While in foster care, Animal Haven will provide food and other items as determined by the needs of the specific pet.  Each pet will be sent to their home with a care package.  Foster parents will receive any background information on the specific pet and will sign a foster care agreement.  At this time an appointment will also be scheduled for return of the pet.  While in foster care, Animal Haven will ask you to take notes on your family’s experiences with the pet.  These notes will be viewed by potential adopters to help place your foster pet in the best life long caring home.

 Can’t Foster?  Here are some other ways to help.

  • Spread the word.  Tell your friends, family and coworkers about Animal Haven’s holiday foster program.  It is a great way to do something special for the holidays and an opportunity to meet a new best friend.
  • Donate.  Animal Haven is always in need of fleece blankets, towels, toys, treats and other pet products for our four legged friends.  Money is great too.  On average, it costs almost $200 to care for a single pet for a week.  We have between 300 and 400 pets in our care at any time.
  • Host a charitable holiday party.  Instead of gag gifts and party favors, have guests bring donations for Animal Haven.  It can be a great way to have fun and make a difference.
  • Volunteer.  We always need more help at the shelter.  You can make a difference by socializing cats, exercising dogs, helping with adoptions and more.
