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.

🎨🐾 October Coloring Contest Winners! 🐾🎨

We were so busy yesterday that we didn’t get a chance to post — but the results are in! We had someone come in to judge all of the amazing coloring sheets you kiddos turned in, and they just couldn’t decide between two of them… so we have a TIE! 😻👏

Both of these talented young ladies did such a fantastic job that we’re awarding CatPass memberships for the entire month of November to both of them! 🏆🐱

Everyone please join us in giving them a big congratulations in the comments! 🎉 Feel free to tell them “great job” or let us know which picture is your favorite — they both did absolutely amazing! 💕

This adorable little Siamese kitten is the king of making biscuits — seriously, you’ve got to see his video! 🐱💛 KingsHawaiian is a total sweetheart.

He’s cuddly, gentle, and full of purrs once he feels comfortable — the perfect little companion to brighten your days. 🌞

🎃🐾 Meet Ciabatta! 🐾🎃

Our handsome little guy Ciabatta (yes, just like the bread 😄) is still rocking his adorable Halloween sweater from yesterday — he loves it so much he didn’t want to take it off!

Ciabatta is a little over six months old, and he’s got the sweetest personality. He’s playful, cuddly, and full of charm — your typical affectionate boy cat who’s always ready for snuggles. 💕

He also has the cutest little deformed paw, but don’t let that fool you — it doesn’t slow him down one bit! He runs, plays, and explores just like any other kitten.

Ciabatta is still waiting here at Nine Lives Cat Rescue and Adoption Center for his forever family to come scoop him up and give him the home he deserves. 🏡🐱

Come by and meet this little sweetheart — we promise you’ll fall in love the moment you do! ❤️

🚨 Urgent 🚨 We are in desperate need of a volunteer or preferably 2 for FRIDAYS from 8am to 12pm to do deep cleaning and get the lounge ready for open. I am not able to do it any longer. Im not sure how we are going to get open today even 😬

Specifically someone who posses the following:

- MUST be able to volunteer atleast 3 Fridays a month
- Loves Cats
- Loves cleaning
- Thorough with cleaning
- Can work well by themselves
- Reliable
- Organized
- Can easily lift 20-50 lbs
- Doesn’t have any issue with scooping/changing litter boxes.

Also, keep in mind. Winter is just around the corner, which means snow. As I would never want anyone to risk their safety if they are uncomfortable driving in snow, unfortunately we don’t get that privilege when it comes to taking care of live animals so please please take that into consideration.

volunteer with us.We need the gift of your time and talent! Volunteers are the lifeblood of Animal Rescue.We look to volunteers to spend time with the kitties & help socialize the more scared ones, bathe & groom cats as needed, and so many other hands-on interactions with the kitties.We also look to...

🎃 Our 4th Annual Pumpkin Carving Event was a huge success! 🧡

Everyone had such a great time, and we got to see so many adorable, creative, and spooky pumpkin designs — you all outdid yourselves this year! ✨

Everything went off without a hitch, and it reminded us why this is truly one of our favorite events of the year. The laughter, the pumpkins, and all the fall vibes made for a perfect weekend.

Thank you to everyone who came out and carved with us — we’re already counting down the days until next year’s pumpkin carving party! 🎃🍂💛

Guess who went home today?! Meredith Grey finally found her furrever purrson today!

🐾 It’s Meredith Monday! 🐾

Our sweet Meredith has been with us far too long, and we think it’s time she finally finds the loving home she deserves. 💛

Meredith has made wonderful progress during her time here — she’s starting to relax more and show her gentle, loving side. But being in a rescue environment is still stressful for her, and she would truly thrive in a calm, patient home where she can fully unwind and feel safe.

She’s not asking for much — just a cozy spot in the sun, a soft bed, and a human who will give her the love and time she needs to blossom. 🌸

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, please consider Meredith. She’s been waiting so patiently for her chance at happiness, and we just know her forever person is out there somewhere. ❤️

Come meet her at Nine Lives Cat Rescue & Adoption Center — maybe today will be the day Meredith finally goes home! 🏡

Here’s a quick update on our little girl Brioche 🥰 If you don’t know, Brioche was diagnosed with wet FIP about a month ago and before that she was being treated for ringworm… which means, she has been kenneled for wayyy longer than we like our babies to be if we can help it!

The solution? She is currently bunkin’ at our owners house with all their kitties for the remainder of her treatment, which means she will definitely be a spoiled cuddly girl when she returns to the lounge. Our hope would be to find the purrrfect family for her before she heads back to the lounge 🥰 we still have a ways to meet our goal to make sure this sweet girl is able to get everything she needs for her treatment. Link in comments. Thank you all so much!
