Nine Lives Cat Rescue & Adoption Center

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.
(1)

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.

Today was spay/neuter day for 7 kitties! 6 more go next Wednesday! We are super grateful for Critters & Pals Animal Clinic for working with us on spay/neuter cost & coming in on their day off to provide this service as we wouldn’t be able to continue helping as many kitties get fixed as we do! We are also grateful they are allowing us to make payments for these kitties since finances have been limited (which is an issue for all rescues at the moment especially ones like us that haven’t received any govt funding or grants & rely solely on our donors) please consider helping your favorite rescue sponsor a spay/neuter! As always, we appreciate each and every one of you!

Meet DB Cooper!

This handsome young adult male cat is DB Cooper, and he’s been on quite a journey! When he first arrived at Nine Lives Cat Lounge and Adoption Center, he was very shy and skittish, keeping his distance and avoiding human interaction altogether.

But thanks to the care and patience he’s received at the lounge, DB Cooper has made huge progress. He now enjoys getting pets and has started to trust people more.

DB Cooper will need a home with someone who understands that he’s still a shy boy at heart. His future family will need patience and a gentle touch to help him continue building his confidence. But we know that the love and loyalty he’ll give in return will make it all worth it.

If you’re looking for a sweet, special companion and have the patience to help DB Cooper thrive, come meet him at Nine Lives! Let’s help this brave boy find his forever home.

Meet Liam! 🐾
This 8-10 month old kitten has come out of his shell and is ready to find his forever family!

When Liam first arrived at Nine Lives Cat Lounge, he was a little shy, but now he’s a bundle of playful energy. He loves to climb, explore, and has a knack for perching on your shoulders like a parrot! If you’re looking for a high-energy companion who will keep you entertained and on your toes, Liam is your guy.

Liam would thrive in a home with a family or someone who’s ready to match his playful, adventurous spirit. Could that be you?

Stop by Nine Lives Cat Lounge to meet this sweet, spirited kitten. Let’s find Liam the loving home he deserves! 💛

🌟 Change a Pet’s Life Day 🌟

Today, we’re celebrating Change a Pet’s Life Day, a day dedicated to making a difference in the lives of kitties in need. At Nine Lives Cat Rescue & Adoption Center, we’re working hard to do just that!

Next week, 7 of our furry friends will be heading to the vet to be spayed or neutered & 6 more kitties will go in the next couple of weeks—a critical step in giving them a healthy start on their journey to finding a forever home. 💕

🐾 How You Can Help 🐾

Each surgery costs $54.50, and as a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of animal lovers like you to make this possible. Every donation, no matter the size, directly impacts these cats and helps us improve their lives.

Meet Atticus, the Brave Survivor

Atticus is a beautiful adult male cat here at Nine Lives Cat Lounge, and he has quite the story to tell. This sweet boy came to us from a shelter where he was on the euthanasia list. He’s safe now, but life has been a little overwhelming for him.

Atticus is very scared and skittish right now, and he’s looking for someone special who can give him the time, patience, and love he needs to come out of his shell. We truly believe that with the right person, Atticus will blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

If you’ve got a calm home and a heart big enough for this gentle soul, please come meet Atticus. Let’s help him write the next chapter of his story—one filled with love, trust, and forever friendship. 💙

📍 Stop by Nine Lives Cat Lounge to meet him or send us a message for more details! 🐾

John, Craig & Five are patiently waiting to be caught by their purrfect family!

So people ask, “what’s it like having and working with all these cats?” Well, this is what it’s like, you clean up messes all day 🤣 this what a team effort. This time they broke into the expensive stash 😅 Dracula got up on the top shelf, knocked the catnip down which was in a plastic bag AND a latching container and the others apparently pinata’d it until it busted open AND then the chewed open the bag and apparently PAWTIED all night. Ember sitting in the middle looking so confused or in awe, we haven’t decided. Let’s just say, when they wake up from their slumber or not chasing around dust particles they are going to be delivered the news, they are ALL on the naughty list this week, because try confiscating catnip from 10+ cats at a time… you think police don’t get paid enough? Well… 🐈‍⬛ just proves we have the good stuff though! Come get some nip bombs for your kitties and let us be your nip dealer!

We had so much fun making kitty ornaments today! Check them out!

The residents have been extra good this year! 😻🎄

Our Pawsitivity board being utilized makes us so happy 🥰
