(* Live Release Rate = Live Outcomes / All Outcomes) Nine Lives gives every cat in our care the time and support they require, for as long as it takes them, and no matter what they need, to find a loving home. However, because we take in some very vulnerable and sick cats and kittens, some of the cats in our care do pass away or are humanely euthanized to end suffering due to incurable disease.

What we do at Nine Lives

We are a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating a cat-only clinic and adoption center. We rescue at-risk cats and kittens, provide them with clinical care and nurturing to address their medical and behavioral needs — great or small — and find them loving forever homes. We are committed to addressing the overpopulation of homeless cats by providing low-cost spay and neuter services for those in our community.

Adoptions

Our Adoption Center is open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Our goal is to place our cats and kittens in safe, permanent homes and living situations depending on age, temperament, and health status. We welcome adoptions of indoor-only, indoor-outdoor, and barn, business, and winery cats.
