Last week, we were asked for help with this beautiful girl who had given birth to one baby the day before. We thought it was odd that she only had one so rushed her in for an ultrasound to make sure she didn't have any more stuck inside. Once we were given the all-clear, we settled them into our shelter. However, she seemed to have no interest in her baby AT all. Which is really no surprise since this poor girl is no more than 6 months herself, maybe less! She still has baby teeth 😭
Not only was she not prepared to be such a young mum, but she hadn't even had the chance to be a proper kitten.
Our hearts broke for her. So, off she went for desex. She is now inside, and we are working on making her nice and friendly and ready for adoption.
At the moment she spends all day giving me the evil eye and growling but we will get there!

We have named her Bumble ❤️
Please desex your pets!! Bumble did not deserve this.

A lovely lady contacted 9 Lives Orphanage to see if we could bring some kittens for a cuddle session with her friend who was in the hospice. One of our volunteers took two little kittens out for a visit, much to the delight of all her family and friends who were there too. The family happily gave us permission to post this photo of her son who also enjoyed a good cuddle, scooping up both kittens! Our volunteer also enjoyed the opportunity to meet the family and facilitate this Christmas wish!
Please consider donating to your local hospice this Christmas.

Some soulless reprobate has dumped a plastic tote box on the side of a road containing 3 litters of kittens, all under a week old.

We are so over this season already and the sickening acts being perpetrated by humans towards animals, we have 2 kittens in care that have been thrown from car windows on motorways, so many dumped kittens, cats where people have moved out and left them behind and pet cats with litters because people can’t be responsible enough to desex their pets. The amount of neglect is overwhelming. How many free desexing campaigns does it take to convince people to desex their pets? If everyone managed to take care of their own animals, we may have a hope in hell of making a dent in the stray population but instead were cleaning up after irresponsible ‘owners’.

The people who found them didn’t check the box for over 24 hours as they assumed it was dumped rubbish until it started screaming. Thank you for searching for help.

We are scrambling trying to find beautiful humans to help us either feed them or to take some older kittens so our experienced fosters have some space to take these little babies on.

If you are the individual who dumped them, please get in contact so we can desex their mothers as we will be here again in 3 months if they aren’t fixed. 🤬

If you are keen to foster, please pm the page for details.

If you are keen to donate towards the large volumes of formula, they will need to raise them to weaning age. Our bank account is 06-0541-0502484-00

ERRR MA GOSH! A CUTE BE-BE KITTY!

Hehe, now that we have your attention we have a short public announcement.

Please ensure that you are committed to adopting a cat before messaging us and setting up a meeting.

If you can't adopt right now, because of holidays or prior commitments, please message us when you are back as we don't have the capacity to hold onto the kittens for you.

We have over 200 kitties in care currently and messages daily asking us to help take on more.

We understand the excitement of a cute kitty to potentially adopt and wanting to get in to our inbox quickly. But please ensure you have thought about it thoroughly, and can follow through.

Christmas time is already a crazy time. Not only is it our busiest time of year for kittens, but we are all volunteers with full time jobs and families that need us too.

We appreciate all your support❤️

Our Story

9 Lives Orphanage was founded in 2014 and is a registered non-profit cat and kitten rescue, run by a small team of passionate volunteers. Our aim is to help eradicate homeless cats and kittens by de-sexing and re-homing as many Auckland cats and kittens as we can! A small community effort that first started in our homes has now expanded to an almost completed new cattery which we continuously need volunteers to help us clean and tidy, and of course, spend time petting the shelter cats.
