HOW YOU CAN HELP THE CATS
Ingrid has found loving homes for many hundreds of cats. This has not been possible without the help of other people who have all contributed to the huge task of trying to influence our society to have a more responsible attitude to animals.


Perhaps you too can help. This can be done in different ways:

HELP BY SENDING THIS POEM TO YOUR FRIENDS
Read this moving poem that tells of life from a cat's perspective.



Sponsor a cat
Why not sponsor a cat from Ingrid's Haven? A small monthly donation will go a long way in helping your sponsored cat. I will keep you up-to-date on your sponsored cat's progress, and let you know when they find a home.

If at all possible, I will keep you updated on their progress in their new digs. Your your sponsorship will be acknowledged on the individual cat's listing on the site.

There are many more cats at Ingrid's Haven that are not listed on this site - rescued senior cats who have made the Haven their home. If you would like to help these cats, just contact Ingrid.

Cosy 'N' Warm Pet Bed
Buy a Cosy pet bed to help Ingrid!
Cosy ‘N’ Warm Pet Beds are donut-shaped beds made of polar fleece and filled with soft, comfy cushion stuffing. Just the thing for moulding comfortably around our curvy kitties. All beds are handmade and attention to detail and quality are a high priority.

Cosy ‘N’ Warm Pet Beds can be machine washed, and retain their shape.
(Printed fabrics should only be washed in cold water as per manufacturer’s instructions to prevent 'bleeding' of print).

Cosy ‘N’ Warm Pet Beds come in two sizes: small and medium. Small is suitable for a snug fit for the average sized kitty. Medium is large enough for a Maine Coon-sized kitty (or a cat who likes to stretch out) and can easily accommodate a small dog.

At present there are only these two sizes, but orders for larger versions of the bed can be made. Beds are from $21 discounted price for a small plain polar fleece bed. Interior dimension is approximately 35cms.

Cosy ‘N’ Warm Pet Beds now has a direct deposit facility for easier ordering.

Discount available to Ingrid's Haven sponsors and people who adopt a cat or kitten from Ingrid. Half of all proceeds donated to Ingrid’s Haven.

Help unwanted dogs and cats in Thailand!

WATCH NOW: Soi Dogs on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trGbtLOlY14

Soi Dog Foundation (SDF) is a volunteer and not-for profit organisation in Phuket, Thailand. Its aims are to reduce the population of unwanted stray dogs and cats through humane sterilization. To treat and improve the lives of the remaining animals, and it operates a shelter and rehoming centre for abandoned and abused dogs.

By the end of September 2006 SDF had sterilized over 14,000 animals on
Phuket, including over 10,000 dogs. It also treats sick and injured animals and responds to emergency calls from the general public. All of SDF funding is from donations. It does not receive any government funding.

Please help SDF to continue its work by going to www.soidog.org to make a donation or sponsor a dog. You really will be making a difference in these dog's lives. If you have any further questions or would like more information please email me directly at suaysiam@gmail.com
