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.

This is sweet baby Moo Moo, she has cerebellar hypoplasia. She got swaddled this morning because she had one of her “terrified” episodes. When she has those, she runs with no direction, totally confused, runs into every wall and object in the path only stopping when I’m able to catch her with a blanket and she instantly calms down but I have to make sure when I grab her that the blanket covers her rear end because she then pees.

🎉🐾 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANGELA! 🐾🎉

Hi. It’s us. The cats of Nine Lives.
We just wanted to let everyone know that Angela is one of our very favorite bonus humans.

She works a whole entire full-time job (we don’t know why), and still comes to see us every single day. She feeds us our beloved wet food, gives us treats, plays with us, loves on us, fixes our sink when it does that annoying drip thing, and somehow also bakes all the yummy goodies for events. Honestly, we don’t know how she does it.

Angela goes above and beyond for us, and we feel it every day. We are healthier, happier, and very spoiled because of her.

So today, we demand extra love, extra treats, and extra appreciation for our Angela.
Happy Birthday to one of the best humans we’ve ever trained. 🐱💖🎂

Thank You, Valerie! We want to give a huge thank you to Valerie for going above and beyond to make our silent auction su...

Thank You, Valerie!

We want to give a huge thank you to Valerie for going above and beyond to make our silent auction such a success. She reached out to countless businesses and gathered amazing donations, all on her own time.

Valerie, thank you for supporting our mission, stepping up for Nine Lives, and always being there for the cats. We truly appreciate you! 🐾

🚨Silent Auction Items🚨

First! We wanted to say THANK YOU for all of those that participated, it means more than you know to us and the kitties! We unfortunately didn't sale all of the items or reach our $5k goal BUT we did do $641 in sales which is amazing and very helpful!

If you received an email confirming you won an item, we have been hard at work this morning going through all of the silent auction items and getting them all packaged up for pick-ups!

We will be reaching out to everyone by phone/text when we get the items all organized for pick-ups/shipping. If you don't hear from us (because we all know how technology can be sometimes) Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for confirmation.

Local Pick-up:
You are more than welcome to pick-up your items anytime within our normal business hours as follows: Our Current Temporary Hours: Friday 12pm-6pm, Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 12pm-6pm. If these do not work for you again, PLEASE reach out to us and we can schedule a time that works for you. Someone has to be here daily to care for the kitties and we can figure out the best time for everyone!

Shipping:
If you are needing any of the items shipped, please reach out to us so we can get a payment link sent for shipping (shipping must be paid before item(s) are shipped.) $ Varies by items.

Items that did not sale/reach the reserve: We will keep you updated on these items, we may extend these items for Christmas, have a raffle or something else. (We will convene with our furry board members & make a decision by Friday!)
