Dr. Monica Thompson


Our Mission Statement:

We are a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of all cats and kittens by providing low cost spay/neuter, rescue, medical, and adoption services. A no-kill facility that welcomes all cats and kittens regardless of their physical, medical or behavioral conditions, and places our animals in humane, responsible and loving homes.

The Background

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.  She eventually established the no-kill Nine Lives Foundation in December of 2004, which is a community-based not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization. Cats at the Nine Lives Foundation have been rescued from shelters all around California and we give them a second chance at a happily ever after!

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.
