Adopt a Cat with a Passport!
Reserve your well-traveled tabby now before they're all spoken for! These cats and kittens will be available in approximately 3 weeks. They will receive a full vetting, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip and flea treatment upon arrival.
For a $50 deposit, you can reserve your future feline friend, and the reservation fee will be applied to the adoption fee of $150. When the cats arrive in the US, you may be asked to temporarily foster your adoptee for a few days until their spay/neuter appointment, at which point their adoption will be finalized. Reservation fees are non-refundable except in the case of adoptions that cannot be completed for medical reasons.
Please note: kittens under 5 months must be adopted in pairs. Any cats that are marked as bonded with another cat must be adopted together.
Kuwait Cat Project 2019 - #KCP2019
Why Kuwaiti Kitties? 🇰🇼
Currently Nine Lives Foundation has more demand than adoption-ready cats. Meanwhile in Kuwait, a crisis is brewing for rescuers who have been rescuing cats from abandonment, abuse, neglect and kitten mills. These cats have no place to go in Kuwait, as there are no animal shelters or animal adoption agencies, and rescuers have limited resources. Within a couple months the temperature will soar to daytime temperatures of 108 to 118 °F -- sometimes reaching 129.2 °F. (for more information on conditions check out this article) These cats need help immediately.
In response, Nine Lives is extending its life-saving mission and helping to bring these cats to the US for adoption. We are starting by bringing cats to the US for adoption in May 2019 before local shelters are overwhelmed by kitten season, and are planning a future trip to do TNR in conjunction with local animal rescuers. Our goal is to raise approximately $5,000 in order to fix 100 or more stray/feral cats in Kuwait. We are also raising money to help defray travel expenses for the cats. (Travel expenses per cat average $200-$300/per cat)
Please help!

Mdhat has all the purrrsonality traits Arabian Mau cats are known for. He'll follow you around and waits to be petted. He has a habit of climbing up to your shoulder when he thinks he's being ignored. A bit protective, but with a bit of time gets along well with other cats. As a kitten he'd had a very bad ear infection that resulted with a slight head tilt. Otherwise he's as healthy as he can be.
