Ingrid’s Haven is a long-standing NFP cat shelter in Victoria, located around an hour north from Melbourne, caring for cats and kittens rescued primarily through local pounds and giving them the time, care and love they need while waiting for their forever homes.
We have recently started working together with Enchanted Rescue, bringing new energy, support and resources to the Haven.
This collaboration marks an exciting new chapter — focused on strengthening the shelter, improving outcomes for the cats, and creating a bright, positive future for Ingrid’s Haven while honoring Ingrid’s incredible legacy and the decades she has dedicated to putting strays and vulnerable cats first.
Ingrid’s Haven does not accept surrenders from the general public.
We are a no-kill shelter, committed to lifelong care when needed and the best possible matches for adoption
Join the small but strong army of volunteers – affectionately known as the vollies - that help at the Haven.
Sponsor an individual rescue cat, or become a Haven supporter.
We have a selection of short original cat care articles for you to get some tips. Topics include pregnant women and cats, adopting a senior and settling in an adult cat.
FORMER HAVENITES

DEDICATION
This website honours the people who open their hearts to rescue animals, and remembers with love the countless animals who lost their lives in pounds without ever knowing a home. Their lives matter. Their stories live on at Ingrid’s Haven.
Thanks to the wonderful folks at Goodwill Wines, at least $20 from every case of high-quality Australian wine bought from them goes directly to the care of the cats at the Haven.
