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.

🇺🇸 4th of July Microchip Special – All Month Long! 🐾

The 4th of July is one of the busiest times of year for lost pets — fireworks, loud gatherings, and open doors can all cause even the calmest cats and dogs to panic and run.

To help keep your pets safe, we’re bringing back our Microchip Special for the entire month of July:

🔹 $9.99 – Purchase a microchip to take to your vet to implant and register yourself
🔹 $19.99 – Let us take care of the registration for you!

🐾 Over 10 million pets are lost in the U.S. each year — but a microchip can be the key to getting them home. Microchipped pets are more than 50% more likely to be reunited with their families.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Stop by and take advantage of this special all month long!

🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July from Nine Lives Cat Rescue! 🇺🇸🎆

As we gear up for fireworks and festivities, we want to share an important reminder:
The 4th of July is one of the most dangerous holidays for pets — especially cats.

📊 Here’s why cat safety matters today:

🐾 More pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year.
According to the ASPCA, 1 in 5 pets goes missing after being scared by loud noises like fireworks.

🐾 Outdoor cats are especially vulnerable.
Fireworks can cause even confident cats to panic and run, often becoming disoriented and unable to find their way home.

🐾 Lost pets flood shelters starting July 5th.
Many local shelters see a 30-60% increase in intake right after the holiday — most of which are pets that bolted during fireworks.

🐾 Noise anxiety is real.
Cats have much more sensitive hearing than humans. The booms and bangs can trigger elevated stress levels, hiding, trembling, and even illness due to fear.

🐾 ID saves lives.
Only about 15% of cats in shelters are ever reunited with their families. Microchipping and ID tags drastically improve the odds.

💡 How to keep your cats safe today:
• Keep all cats indoors during fireworks hours (even if they normally go outside).
• Create a quiet, secure area in your home with cozy bedding and calming background noise.
• Make sure windows, doors, and screens are secure.
• If your cat is microchipped, double-check that your contact info is current.

Let’s celebrate with love and caution this year — for our country and our kitties. 💙🐾❤️

Help Willie! 😭 his human has had to go into an assisted living faciltiy and cannot take him. We are unable to take him in at the lounge since we are free roaming & don’t have a place that we can put him by himself (adding on is a dream of mine, just don’t have the finances to do so) Willie, is needing human love, someone that will love him as much as he will love you. Please please consider adopting this sweet boy. Cats that have been in their home for an extended period, typically can’t go to a typical shelter (some can depending on the cat, but it is still VERY VERY VERY hard for them to acclimate), the stainless steel cages seem isolating, the loud noises, banging, other animals, ALL the random people WILL cause many/most to act out by either swatting, biting, hissing and/or not letting anyone touch them out of FEAR, which unfortunately could potentially lead to not eating or marked as “aggressive” …

Please contact Bob or Candy at the numbers provided on the picture.

📣 Say hello (again) to Meredith Gray! 🐾

Meredith Gray is back with us here at Nine Lives Cat Rescue and Adoption Center and is officially available for adoption. She was adopted as a kitten from our center, but due to unforeseen circumstances (through no fault of her own or her previous family), she’s returned and ready for a fresh start.

This gorgeous girl is incredibly sweet, very cuddly, and oh-so vocal—she loves to keep you updated on everything going on in her world! 🐱💬 If you’re looking for a loving cat who’s ready to be your number one, Meredith would do best in a home where she can soak up the spotlight and be your main companion.

Come by and meet this talkative little lovebug—she might just be your purrfect match. 💕
