"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.

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.

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.
