What we do
Imagine a world where every soft toy has a warm hug waiting. That's the world we're creating at Adopt a Plush.
We rescue and rehome unused teddies and plush companions, giving them a new chapter filled with love. And because we believe in extending that love to all creatures, a portion of every sale supports animal rescue organisations.
By adopting a plush, you're not just bringing home a cuddly friend; you're helping reduce waste, protect the environment, and provide vital support to animals in need.
A different animal rescue will be chosen each month, if you have a rescue you would like to help then reach out and we can put them on the list.
Charity of the month - Safe Haven Egypt
Safe Haven are a not for profit organisation dedicated to saving Egyptian cats. Many of you will know of the desperate situation in Egypt. There are thousands of street cats in Cairo. Often suffering unseen and unimaginably. They would otherwise die from starvation, illness, injury or as a result of deliberate human cruelty and torture or as the result of government sanctioned poisoning were it not for a small number of dedicated rescuers.
There are also many cats and kittens existing in the horrific conditions of pet shops in Cairo that are rescued from a life worse than hell.
This group was initially created for an apartment to be established in Cairo to provide much needed foster care places to board all the rescued cats and kittens in the one place. Safe Haven Egypt opened its doors in Aug 2015 and quickly outgrew itself, such was the demand.
Safe Haven 2 now consists of two neighbouring properties in 6th October City, Cairo. They are both two storey houses, four complete individual apartments. One of the upstairs apartments has a huge newly built balcony, this is our ‘departure lounge’ where the cats that are adopted wait for their flights to their new homes and families. The downstairs apartments have access to a fully secure gardens.
We have five workers and a visiting vet who carries out operations and neutering in an operating room purpose built in a converted mezzanine.
Cats have no access to the kitchens, which are the centre of operations and administration. This is all run by Kareema (Koky) who lives close to the Haven.
SHE is completely dedicated to the rescue, care, preparation, sponsorship, adoption, home checks, travel and fundraising for all of our rescued cats and kittens.
