Visit Our Website To Donate: Ninelivescatlounge.com Frequently Asked Questions:

1. While we would love to visit with your cat, we ask that you leave him at home. 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.

🐾 It’s Meredith Monday again, friends 🐾

Sweet Meredith Grey is still waiting for her forever home. 💔 She’s been with us far too long, and the lounge can be overwhelming for her with so many cats around. Meredith truly deserves a calm, quiet home where she can relax and shine.

✨ About Meredith:
• She’s a gentle, affectionate lap cat who LOVES cuddles and attention
• She’s very vocal and will happily chat with you
• She does fine with other cats, but would really thrive in a peaceful environment where she can be the star of the show ✨

If you’ve been looking for a loyal companion to curl up with, Meredith is your girl. 🐱💖 Please come meet her and see if she’s the perfect fit for your heart and home.

🌟 It’s Monday… and you know what that means… it’s Meredith Monday! 🌟

Our gorgeous girl Meredith is back to remind you that she is still looking for her forever home 💕

Meredith is all about the cuddles and attention—if you want a cat who will happily soak up all the love you can give, she’s your girl! She’s playful, affectionate, and always ready to be the center of attention.

She’s been waiting so patiently for her perfect family to come along. Could it be you? 🐱💖

🎉🐾 PAWTY TIME! 🐾🎉Hey hooman friends, it’s us — Boots, Sissy, and Princess! Today is our very first, FIFTH birthday (that’s a big deal, okay 😹), and we decided it called for something special. So we asked our favorite Aunt Courtni if we could throw a CATNIP PARTY. And because she loves us (and we’re way too cute to say no to), she said HECK YES! 🎉✨So we busted out the party hats, rocked our chains, rolled in the catnip, and munched on some delicious treats. Honestly, it was the greatest birthday bash in Nine Lives history. 🎂🐾Happy Birthday to US — the OG lounge kitties, 5 years fabulous and still the life of the party. 💃🎁💝P.S. If you need us now… we’re all in a catnip coma. 💤😹Love & Catnip,Boots, Sissy & Princess 😻😻

🎉 Today is extra special at Nine Lives — it’s the 5th birthday of three of our beloved residents: Boots (our silly, snack-loving boy), Sissy (our sweet little lady), and Princess (our true queen of the lounge). These three are littermates, and they were also the very first cats we ever welcomed into the lounge. They’ve been here since the very beginning, and today we’re so grateful to celebrate five wonderful years with them. 💛🐾

But while we’d love to only focus on their big day, we also have to be honest about where things stand for the shelter right now. Running an animal rescue is always hard, but at the moment it feels harder than ever. Our electric bill is $3,000, our vet bill is over $3,000, and both our dryer and our washer are on their last legs. On top of that, the cats are in need of new cat trees, food, litter, toys, and other supplies to keep them happy and healthy.

Every donation, every bag of food or litter, every toy, and even every share of this post makes a difference. We’ll be posting our donation link below so you can help directly with our vet fund, electricity, or other needs:

From Boots, Sissy, Princess, and all of us at Nine Lives — thank you for being part of our family and helping us give these cats the lives they deserve. 💛🐾

It’s a claw-some day out there, and we’ve got everything you need to make it even better! 🍿 Fresh popcorn is poppin’ pawsitive vibes, plus we’ve got nice cold drinks to keep you cool cats refreshed, and warm drinks if you’re already in the feline fall spirit. ☕🍂

But of course, the meow-n attraction is the kitties themselves! 🐾 They’re ready to soak up all the love and attention. If you’re out and about on Main Street today, be sure to pounce on over once you’re done and say hi. 💛
