How to Help or Volunteer with The Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven

The Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven is a registered Canadian charity and animal welfare organization that is supported solely by donations, grants, and sponsorships. If you want to help, the site points to three main paths: donating, volunteering, and fundraising. The organization also states it is grateful for assistance from people who want to volunteer or help in other ways.

Ways to Support the Organization

Donate

The Safe Haven says it is supported entirely by donations, grants, and sponsorships. Its website includes a donation options page, which is the direct route to give. Because the organization is a registered Canadian charity, donations may be eligible for whatever treatment Canadian law provides for registered charities, but the site itself does not spell out receipt or tax details.

Volunteer

The site lists volunteer opportunities as a distinct section. It does not describe specific roles, time commitments, or training requirements on the page. If you are interested, the practical first step is to contact the organization using the email address it provides: [email protected].

Fundraising

Fundraising is also listed as a way to help. The site thanks local businesses that donate and help where they can, which suggests community business involvement is part of its support model. If you want to run a fundraiser, the same contact email is the starting point.

What to Know Before You Reach Out

• The Safe Haven focuses on homeless cats and kittens, adopting pets into loving homes, and helping pets stay in loving homes.
• Adoption inquiries are handled through an online application, not by phone, email, or drop-in visits. The site explicitly says not to call, email, or show up without an appointment.
• Hours of operation are by appointment only: Monday through Friday 9:00 am–12:00 pm, Saturday 10:00 am–2:00 pm, and Sunday 9:00 am–12:00 pm.
• The site also maintains a page for cats currently on stray hold in the shelter, powered by Shelterluv.

Quick Reference

If your goal is to help rather than adopt, donating, volunteering, or fundraising are the routes the organization itself highlights. For anything specific—such as what volunteering involves or how to organize a fundraiser—contact the Safe Haven directly at [email protected].
