Nine Lives Cat Rescue & Adoption Center

Coffee, Cats & Thrifting Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I Bring My Cat? While we would love to visit with your cat, we ask that you leave him at home.
(38)

All of our cats arrive at Nine Lives with a clean bill of health and are used to the environment and our other cats here at the lounge.

2. What If I'm Allergic To Cats? That is perfectly fine. We do have other options! You can visit our cafe, where we will have beverages and pastries available. You can also drink your beverage in the lower lounge waiting area where we have a large window looking

in to see the cats right on the other side!

3. How Do I Adopt from Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center? Great Question! We hope we can connect you with your next "fur baby" Once you arrive if there is a certain kitty you would like to see, let one of our staff know and we will make sure he/she is out to play (if available, not sleeping, quarantined etc) We will walk you through the adoption process. We will have you fill out a questionnaire and a general adoption contract through us. Pictures and descriptions of adoptable cats are also located on our website at https://www.ninelivescatlounge.com/adoptable-cats

4. Why Is There a Fee to Visit with The Kitties? As it is our goal to provide our guests with a unique experience where they can fall in love with their next family member, we do charge a nominal fee to help care for the cats (Food, Vet, Litter, Sanitization etc.) and help pay to keep a roof over the kitties' heads until they find their forever home.

5. Can I Surrender My Cat to Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center? While we wish we could take in every cat we come across. Unfortunately, we are not able to take in rescues or strays at this time. All of our cats arrive at Nine Lives ready for adoption with a clean bill of health. Introducing a stray or rescue could put the other cats here at the lounge at risk of getting sick. Our main goal is to keep the kitties safe and healthy! We however will help you get in contact with the best route for you to get them in care to get them on track to a new forever home. We are able to take in certain home-ready cats that get along with other cats and aren't scared of people and loud noises.

6. Are the Cats Running Free in the Lounge? We are working closely with the health department to provide our guests a safe and clean space. We have split the building into two totally separate areas, with 3 different sections, we have the cafe side which is come and go as you please (No Fee) this is our beverage and Cereal side. We have 5 tables that sit 4 guests at each table (No Cats Allowed). We have, what we call the lower lounge waiting area, this is where all the merchandise is kept. Guests waiting to enter the lounge can check out all of our custom merchandise, or if you just wanted to look through the large window at the cats without going in that is welcome as well, there is no fee for this area. Last but not least, we have what we call the lounge, which is accessed through a double-door entry at the end of the hallway. Waivers will be required to enter this area. Adults must accompany children under 12 at all times. There are rules in place to keep our little kitties safe and not afraid to come to play!! Guests are able to purchase different time frames they would like to visit the kitties ranging from 15 minutes at $4 to 90 minutes at $15.

7. Is Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center Kid-Friendly? Yes, of course! Children under 12 must have adult supervision at all times while in the lounge. Our goal is to have our guests and cats have the best time but the safest at the lounge as they can. We just ask that you follow the rules we have set in place. This helps our kitties feel safe and helps with not having accidents. Cats do have their claws so if they get scared, they may scratch (ouch) we don't want that. Cats, just like children can get scared by any sudden movement, so just move slowly and with care.

8. What Are Nine Lives Cancellation Policy? While we understand things come up suddenly that lead to having to cancel, we will do everything we can to work with you at rescheduling or canceling completely. Please understand that as a small business, we ask for a 24-hour notice of any changes to your reservation to receive a full refund or credit towards a future reservation. This allows us to try to fill the reservation.

9. Does Nine Lives Host Private Events? We do offer private events. We can offer small parties, school events, date nights, yoga, etc. If you are wanting to have an event here at Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center, please visit: https://www.ninelivescatlounge.com/book-a-party and click on Contact Meow to schedule a free consultation with our event coordinator.

11/09/2024

Juno is screaming for cuddles 🥰 When it’s rainy out, the kitties don’t get as many cuddles, so Boots Boots is here to save the day! Boots says when you purrrchase a 30-minute visit today you’ll get a drip coffee on him when you mention this post.

Jack OLantern says “I’m just a baby” Who else stands in their food bowl when eating?

Edit: Jack OLantern is available for adoption BUT he will need to stay with us for just a bit longer, he’s so tiny, we just want to be sure he is putting on the right amount of weight before he goes to his furrrever home!

11/05/2024

Meet Craig! He is the sleepiest boy 😹 he is definitely all about his comfort, but he’s also just a baby and likes to annoy all of his adult friends! He is the purrrfect combination and cuddly and playful! He is up for adoption! Come in and meet him. He’s just hanging out, patiently waiting to meet his perfect purrson! 😻

11/05/2024

Tabby Tuesday! Meet Dracula! Unlike the real Dracula, Kitty Dracula is the sweetest boy and loves all the pets! He's a curious boy who spends his time in the lounge window looking out for his furrever family! Come fall in love with Kitty Dracula.

11/05/2024

With Jack Frost nipping at the door, don't forget to check under your hood and in your wheel wells, especially if you've just recently driven somewhere & headed back out. Community kitties seek warm places to hide, and your vehicle is the perfect place.

11/04/2024

Come get a coffee and cuddle some kitties! Who knows, maybe you’ll find your furrever friend! We are open until 6pm today! MEOW 😸

11/04/2024

Meet Ghost! 👻 She is SO sweet and gentle, but she’s a little scared still. However she is making her way into the lounge slowly. Good news! She is up for adoption! Come meet her and we promise you will fall in love with her just as fast as we did. 😻

11/04/2024

Boots has been on our case because we don't have "his wet food" we only have pate, which apparently he's "too good" to eat.

🚨🚨 To Our Purrrfect Visitors 🚨🚨 Apparently our road and parking is blocked today with no estimated time of finish… Visitors will have to access a portion of our parking by Highland Ave & the alley behind our building. We are hoping this doesn’t affect our business too much today with these circumstances. Thank You all for your support and we can’t wait to see you!
