"What greater gift than the love of a cat." ~ Charles Dickens…read more It's not every day a thrift shop greets you with a curious feline stretched out on a bookshelf or peeking from behind a stack of vintage linens. The cats live right in the store, and they're unmistakably the stars of the show. The shop is full of character, with a mix of antiques, secondhand finds, and seasonal surprises. Prices are fair, and the volunteers are warm, helpful, and clearly invested in the mission. Every purchase supports Safe Haven's no-kill shelter work, and that sense of purpose makes the place feel extra special. If you're anywhere near Wells, it's absolutely worth stopping in. You might leave with a vintage lamp, a great book, or just a little more joy than you came in with.

I have shopped at many thrift shops across Maine and Safe Haven is by far my favorite one. I love…read morehow they have thrift items as well as antique and vintage items and their prices are very affordable. The kitty running through the shop is an extra bonus for us cat lovers. All the staff are volunteers who donate their time to this no-kill cat rescue and the proceeds totally support the rescue.

Centrally located downtown - this place needs more hype PR. The cutest dining area, I love a…read morerepurposed space. Everything here is reasonably priced and delicious. All of the workers are very laidback and kind - I love their monthly specials and that they serve their in house items in mugs and glasses. Huge applause for their grilled muffins, chai lattes, and raspberry chocolate crepes. LOVE the mission behind this place also, if you're in the neighborhood and you're spending the money anyways, why not do it somewhere with a purpose? 5 stars, no notes.

Great coffee and tasty pastry. The atmosphere is very much college student, study cafe.read more

International adoption can be overwhelming. I felt good when I found New Hope for Children. What…read morehas happened in the years since has been frustrating and heart breaking to downright criminal. We tried to adopt my niece and nephew. We were told a process and followed it. After years we learned there was no process. We were handed off to another agency in that country and the process kept changing. They were supposedly trying to get a death certificate for the children's mother. After a year we went to that country's embassy and the ambassador worked on our case. The agency said there was no such request and then came back and said that adoption is not possible. Communication was scarce except when money was needed. They took our money and we got absolutely nothing in return. Do not do this to yourselves. Family is precious and they have damaged ours.

I've had two experiences with Wildlife Encounters, both at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during race…read moreweekend. They bring animals to Fan Zone at the NASCAR track. Last time, someone stuck a NASCAR sticker on a tortoise's back. I didn't see who did this - a worker or a fan. A very upset porcupine was penned in a very small area. Today, I saw a komodo dragon and a hedgehog who are part of their "interactive collection". The worker said it was okay to pet either but that the hedgehog was "in a bad mood today". The poor little guy was jumping and was making a sound that resembled a hiss. Behind them, an African serval cat was pacing in a very small cage - much like the poor porcupine last time. Please do not support this business.

Then there are those real special catches of an herb plant or Depends, OR lovingly crocheted baby blankets, scarves, mittens..... and that's all in the front part They also have a thrift store, where u will find it hard to leave empty handed and a without a smile! The volunteers are as if it were what they were ment to be doing; they are soo busy and yet will 'stop' to answer you friendly as well as helpful. I would recommend The Share Fund to anyone I may meet or already know. Great, comfortable place to fulfill needs.
