There are many different ways you can
participate at the Nine Lives Foundation!
We need folks with all sorts of skills:
- Fundraisers
- Grant writing
- Special events
- Building
Maintenance (carpentry, electrical, tile-work, landscaping, etc.)
- Public Relations
(public tours, attending booths at fairs and adoption events)
- Computer networking
and hardware
- Photography and
graphics
- Hands-on cleaners
(scooping litter, mopping, doing laundry and dishes)
- Become a Board
member
All volunteers go
through an orientation process, receive training and sign a waiver before
beginning their activities at the shelter.
We also have regular group volunteer social meetings so you can meet the other
helpers at the shelter.
Please note that volunteers under 16 years of age will be considered on a
case-by-case basis and must have an adult (parent, guardian, teacher, scout
leader, etc.) present. We are unable to accept volunteers for the purpose of
fulfilling court-ordered community service obligations.
If you're interested
in finding out where your niche could be with us, please fill out a
volunteer application in PDF or in Word
and email it to
us.
Our volunteer coordinator will contact you.

sponsoring one of our permanent residents!

Arrange a Bequest, forms are available in PDF or in
Word.
Bequests may be made in your Will to the Nine Lives Foundation, a
not-for-profit corporation. The bequests in whatever amount you choose
should be contained within the text of your Will. If you have already
prepared your Will, contact your attorney for any changes necessary to
reflect your wishes. In order for us to maintain our records on bequests, we
would require the following information from you:
- A copy of the page of the Will indicating the bequest by you
- A copy of the insurance policy, if you have chosen this method to leave
money to the Nine Lives Foundation. This method also requires no estate
taxes and passes automatically to the beneficiary
- The name of the attorney preparing your estate forms
All Bequests are greatly appreciated to help preserve the health
and lives of our cats.
If you do not have an attorney, check your local phone directory for their
listings.

Bequest
Waiver,

Standard Bequest Form,
