Dr. Monica Thompson Mission Statement

Founded on November 5, 2003 by Monica Thompson, D.V.M, the Feline Well-Care Clinic started as a veterinary hospital that occasionally rescued cats. As time went on Dr. Thompson discovered that her passion was rescuing cats from Bay Area shelters who would otherwise be put to sleep.

Dr. Thompson established the Nine Lives Foundation in December of 2004, which is a community-based not-for-profit, 501(c) (3), no-kill organization dedicated to the welfare of all cats and kittens. Our mission is to provide low cost veterinary care, rescue, finding permanent loving homes for the cats in our care and to advocate for homeless and feral cats in our community by actively working to reduce the number of feral cats on the Peninsula through TNR. The Nine Lives Foundation is a no-kill facility that welcomes cats and kittens from bay area streets and shelters that would otherwise be put to sleep. The overriding goal of the Nine Lives Foundation is to place the animals who come to us in humane, responsible and loving homes.


The Nine Lives Foundation's address is:


3016 Rolison Road
Redwood City, CA 94063
Phone: (650) 368-1365

The Nine Lives Foundation is a truly a "no-kill" shelter.
We follow the following criteria to meet this classification:
Ramona
  • Nine Lives never uses euthanasia on a cat or kitten, except for a humane reason such as pain and suffering when a cat has severe medical problems with a poor prognosis. Or when a cat has severe medical problems with a poor prognosis.
  • We will do everything possible to treat a cat regardless of expense.
  • Nine Lives will never transfer a cat to another shelter or facility that uses euthanasia on animals for any other reason than those mentioned above.
  • Nine Lives does not euthanize cats deemed anti-social or that have severe behavioral problems. It is our experience that cats labeled as anti-social or having a temperamental defect which we have rescued from other shelters exhibited no problems in our care. Many of these otherwise ‘unadoptable’ cats have found new loving homes through the Nine Lives Foundation.
