This week we're shining the spotlight on our adult kitties currently available for adoption! 💗

Rue and Fitz both sport a tuxedo of their own kind. Rue is a classic, sleek black and white number, whereas Fitz sports a snazzy tabby alternative.

Both cats are so ready to have a home they can call their own! Both kitties get along with other feline friends.

They are both approx 11 months old.

If either have caught your eye, please check them out in our Available For Adoption album.

Message our page directly with any enquiries! 🐾

Please ensure that you are committed to adopting a cat before messaging us and setting up a meeting. We have had 3 meetings today alone that have cancelled. Not only is it a waste of our time and the foster's time, it also means that those cats have now missed out on an adoption by other people who have gone elsewhere.

Gorgeous 11 month old girl Rue, with the faint off centre nose stripe, wears the most white in her tuxedo of the four sisters who were born in a dog kennel.
Rue is kind of a nut bar – she looks super serious and appears quite cautious, then suddenly she’s a ball of energy and treats the hallway like her personal halfpipe, bouncing off the walls at either end. She loves little scraps of paper and carries them around before assaulting them mercilessly.
She’s not so much a fan of being picked up and will appreciate a gentle approach and a bit of patience.

Rue is located in Papatoetoe – please message us to meet her

*has a meeting
Lentil, sister to Chickpea, is about 13 weeks old. She is a playful girl who loves to play with the mousetail or flying butterfly toys. Rescued from an industrial area in Pukekohe, she is a wee bit shy to begin with but soon becomes the ultimate purr machine who loves to snuggle into you. Lentil is comfortable around other cats and would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can feel safe and secure.
She is located in Papatoetoe – please message us if you’d like to meet her!

This week we're shining the spotlight on our adult kitties currently available for adoption! 💗

Next up, two stunning, floofy ladies.

Pēpi is around 4 years old. She is a sweet girl who can be shy to start, but adores attention, and Temptations!

Candy is a timid soul whom you can win over with her favourite squeezee treats. She is around 3-4 years old.

Both girls will require patience as they adjust to their new homes once adopted - but they are both really sweet.

If either of these girls have caught your eye, please check them out in our Available For Adoption album.

This week we're shining the spotlight on our adult kitties currently available for adoption! 💗

First, our adult mama kitties - Korowai (1-1.5 years), Dolly (1-2 years) and Lacie Thorn (1.5-2 years).

These 3 girls are all beautiful and ready for the next chapter in their lives.

They have all played the role of young solo mama, and are so deserving of finally finding their furever family, and living the luxurious life of a furbaby 🫶

If any of these girls have caught your eye, please check them out in our Available For Adoption album.

**has a meeting**

Meet Bagel!

He loves pats and treats and chasing his brother.

The problem is he is a little shy and weary of people.

Bagel needs an owner ready to spend time getting to know him and give him a very slow introduction to his new home.

Once he feels safe, he will follow you around and sleep next to you on the couch, like a true shadow cat!

Bagel is currently foster with adult cats and dogs and is perfectly comfortable with them.

It is just humans he needs a little time to trust.

Approx 15 weeks old

Do you have a hairtie infestation?
Do you need a project in patience?
Lacie Thorn is far from a snuggle buddy at the moment but she might be just the exterminator you didn’t know you needed.
Please read more about her in the Available for Adoption album to find out more.

Maple is as sweet as her name implies!

She is so loving, one look from her and you won't want to let her go. And that suits her just fine because she is a snuggler!

If you're looking for a cuddlebug, Maple is your girl 🥰

Approx 9 months old. Located in Ellerslie. Please message the page if you are interested 🐾

Korowai is a sweet, tiny tortie girl with big golden eyes that just melt your heart 🥰

She is a gentle soul, and will be shy in new environments. Her confidence has grown since coming into our care.

Once she is comfortable, she is very affectionate. She just needs some time, patience, and most importantly, love ❤️

She's got a habit of rolling over to show her tummy when she's happy and comfortable... And she LOVES chin rubs!

Not suitable for small children, but cat-savvy older kids should be fine. Should get along with other cats following slow, proper introduction.

Approx 1-2 years old. Located in East Auckland. Please message the page if you are interested 🐾

Sweet Pēpi girl is dreaming about the day she gets to snuggle up on a warm bed again 🥹

Pēpi's mum is having to move overseas and sadly can't take her with. She is very much loved and it absolutely shows! Just look at that shiny, fluffy coat 😍

Her coat really is magnificent & she is a gorgeous purr machine.

Not suitable for small children and would like to be the only Queen in her castle 👑

"Oh foster mumma, I cant wait to find my family!"

Majestic fluff ball Merlin is waiting on his furever home 🔮🪄✨

He has the potential to be the cuddliest boy to whoever is patient with him. He is very friendly when you have food to give and is open to sitting on laps.

He's a little grumbly but once he gets to know you there's no doubt he'll be the perfect addition to any family.

This fluffy boy loves neck scratches and will melt in your hands.

Is okay with people, kids possibly with slow interaction, and is okay with other cats, however is not keen on dogs.

Ready from 1st September. Approx 2 years old. Located Manurewa.

Little Chickpea is a 12 week old female tortie kitten looking for her new family. She’s very playful and loves dangly toys and zooming around the lounge.

She is desexed, microchipped and has had her first vaccination, ready for you to adopt her. Available in Manurewa . (Rox)

This stunning boy is Kiwa... is he shy with new people, yes he is, is he skittish with loud noises and sudden movements, yes he is but don't let that fool you. When this boy is comfortable with you, he is the most smoochy lap cat ever and is happy to show you just how much he appreciates and adores you by licking your neck, your face, your hand... whatever he can reach. He also doesn't require a lot of toys as his favorite toy seems to be his very own tail l🤭.

Approx 1 year, desexed, chipped and located in Pokeno for meetings.

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.
