KAYDEN WAS FOUND! We are so relieved and grateful. Thank you to everyone who shared and helped! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

!MISSING KITTEN!
STL FRIENDS! PLEASE READ!

One of our foster parents was in a car wreck this evening, totaling her car. When she called from the ambulance headed to the hospital, she was just worried about her foster kittens. Her 6 foster kittens were in the car with her, on their way home from the vet. We are incredibly thankful that our foster is okay. We’re sharing this heartbreak because one of the kittens, sweet little girl Kayden is missing.

Our director rushed to get the kittens from the tow truck. Kayden’s carrier was opened and she wasn’t in the car. She searched the side of the highway the best she could in the dark and with the others, but couldn’t locate her. We will go look again first thing tomorrow.

If you’re around highway 64 eastbound between the Kingshighway and Tower Grove / Vandeventer exits, or surrounding neighborhoods, please keep an eye out for Kayden.

We’re trying to remain hopeful. The other kittens are uninjured and it is possible Kayden crawled out of her carrier somehow and out of the car.

She was just microchipped to Tenth Life Cat Rescue today.

Please report any sightings by calling or texting 314-200-5607. Thank you.r

Our Hope for the Holidays fundraiser wraps up tomorrow, and we want to share the story behind this tradition and the beloved cat who inspired it.

In 2018, an emaciated, fragile cat was found abandoned in an apartment. She had gone days without food, water, or human contact. When our team arrived, she was seizing, terrified, and barely hanging on.

We named her Hope because every cat deserves a chance at a better, brighter future, and this little one desperately needed hope.

Hope survived. She healed. And she was adopted by a loving family who cherished her deeply. While we are heartbroken to share that Hope has since passed due to heart and kidney failure, her legacy lives on.

Her forever parent recently shared this with us:
“I’m so grateful to y’all for rescuing her. She was SO loved and spoiled. Such a shy little sweetheart, and I’m so glad I got to give her a home for as long as I did.”

Every cat deserves hope. At Tenth Life, that is what we work to give every single day, and we cannot do it without you.

Our Hope for the Holidays fundraiser helps ensure we can continue saving lives and offering safety, love, and eventually a home of their own. Just like Hope inspired this fundraiser, your generosity inspires us, especially on the hardest days.

✨ There is still time to make a life-saving gift before the fundraiser ends tomorrow. Please consider donating today and helping us continue giving cats HOPE. ✨

Gianni was recently adopted, but while he was here, he made the most of his time playing with fresh catnip toys. We think he may have even snuck one into his little kitty suitcase when he headed home.

Gianni also wanted to help us send a huge thank you to everyone who has donated supplies this year. Every time we put out a call, whether we were running low on litter or the cats were eating us out of house and home, so many kind people showed up for them and we are most grateful.

Thank you for giving cats like Gianni the lives they deserve in 2025. 🐾

After being born outdoors in rural Missouri, Mattie and Reggie are spending their very first Catmas indoors, surrounded by the love and care kittens like them deserve. Before long, they will even be ready for homes to call their own.

Safe and toasty warm in their festive bed, exactly where they belong.

Happy holidays from everyone, both humans and cats, at Tenth Life! 🎄🐾

It’s never a quiet day in cat rescue, though some days are especially wild. Last Thursday was one of those extra-busy days. We welcomed nine new arrivals, and only two of them were planned. Several very needy cats found their way to us, and because of your support, we were able to say yes and welcome them all to Tenth Life!

Among those new arrivals were Bananagrams and her adorable kittens, Scrabble, Candy Land, Jenga, and Clue. They were discovered very early Thursday morning outside in a laundry basket. They were so hungry! Bananagrams is as sweet as can be, and despite some diarrhea and upper respiratory infections, she and her little ones are settling into their foster home and doing well.

When you make a gift during our Hope for the Holidays fundraiser, you are saving lives just like these. Your generosity is truly hope for cats who have nowhere else to turn. Please, consider donating today.

Our recent Neon Glow Bowling Fundraiser was SO. MUCH. FUN! We bowled. We laughed. We chowed down on pizza. And we're thrilled to share that our bowlers raised $1,122 after the cost of the lanes. This has become a favorite fundraiser this year, and we hope to do it again in the spring. Who's in? We'll also be looking for businesses to sponsor so that 100% of the proceeds will give cats the lives they deserve. Interested? Email [email protected].

Thank you to everyone who has attended a Tenth Life fundraiser or event this year. You've raised life-saving funds, helped spread our work and mission, and we are so grateful!
