"We’re thrilled to welcome visitors to come and explore SAFe’s new home,” said Shelley Lawson, the Rescue’s Community Engagement Director. 

“Whether you’re looking to adopt or shop for pet supplies, you’re interested in getting involved with the Rescue, or you just love cats, we’re looking forward to giving you a tour and celebrating with you!"

SAFe Rescue’s new home at Ballinger more than doubles the square footage of its previous location on Aurora Avenue. With more space, SAFe aims to make a bigger impact for both cats and the humans who love them.
