You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ellen is a beautiful Lynx Point Siamese, estimated to be around 2-3 years old.  Not familiar with this breed mix of cats? You can learn more here: https://www.catster.com/breeds/lynx-point-Siamese/   Ellen is one of many local cats that joined rescue as part of a hoarding case.  She will be most comfortable living in a quiet, cat savvy home with other feline companions. Ellen is calm and aloof, yet we find her to be very kind and gentle, she just prefers to watch you from afar!  She is not a fan of being picked up and can be slow to warm up to new people, but she gains her confidence from watching her cat friends as they interact with people. Ellen does very well living with other cats and we think she would most enjoy taking her best friend Sparkle with her to her new home as she is happiest when she is curled up in her cat bed with another feline companion!   Ellen has not met dogs, but because of her timid nature we think she may prefer to not live with them. Ellen is seeking a home where she can settle in while she gains confidence, she is not a match for someone who moves frequently or has a busy/active home.  Ellen's adoption fee is $100 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations and FeLV/FIV testing.  Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, we look for adopters who have a history of having kept their pets altered and kept current on vaccinations and preventatives.  If you would like to meet Ellen, please submit an adoption application for consideration at Adopthope.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am

Meet our newest rescue Bernie - a sweet and charming cat who's ready to find their forever family! Bernie was found as a stray in Cedar Rapids last fall and initially had some health concerns - primarily a concerning cough. His rescuer tried to find his family, but sadly no one claimed him. She took him to her vet and checked for a microchip, and ensured he received the medical care he needed to start feeling better while she continued to look for his family. Eventually Bernie improved, but her vet recommended some further diagnostic testing to rule out any lung or heart issues as Bernie does at times have a small lingering cough. Since she had nursed him back to health and provided all that she could afford to Bernie, in January she began reaching out to several shelters and asked for help to take him in and continue his medical journey. Due to every animal shelter being overwhelmed with cats in need of rescue and help she continued to run into dead ends - until she found Safe Haven!  In March Safe Haven was able to take Bernie into our care and start his more advanced medical care. He has now had radiographs of his lungs and heart taken, an ultrasound performed, and a specialized blood test done to look specifically at how Bernie's heart is functioning - and we have all GREAT NEWS - the veterinarian has cleared Bernie medically and he is now ready for adoption! He still occasionally has a lingering cough that may happen a couple times a day that typcially lasts fewer than  5 seconds and doesn't seem to impact him at all. Bernie is an alert, happy cat that is ready to find his family and is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is litter box trained and ready to go home. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a loving companion, Bernie might just be the purr-fect match for you!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 31, 2026, 9:27 pm
