9 Lives Cat Rescue of Oxford MS

Tired of awful stories about animals suffering? We are too!! Be the change!

From the finder:
‘’My husband was driving down shady grove road (not Lawrence brothers) and saw the orange one in the road. He stopped to get it and heard the gray one crying and it was on the other side of the road. We went back that afternoon to look for a mama cat and to make sure there were no more kittens. We didn't find either. He did tell me they were almost dead when he got them, they were hot and panting and drooling and directly in the sun. He put them in the truck and placed them on a cool water bottle and had the air conditioner blowing and they livened up quickly and fell asleep.

It was in the morning so there was no shade at the time they were found.
No houses nearby just a drive to a field and there was a beer box we checked to make sure there wasn't any kittens in it and it was empty.

They have been very active and vocal and show no signs of sickness or fleas or even dirt considering how he found them.

We have reached out to numerous people with no luck, so I need you to know what a blessing you have been offering this help!’’

We at 9 Lives are very grateful for the finder to do a thorough search for more kittens and mama!! We hope they are all well, wherever they are. We also are very grateful for the dedicated bottlefeeder who will tend to them for the next two weeks.

This story shows once again the importance of affordable spay/neuter surgeries for cats and dogs to avoid similar situations.

Please help to create a fund for free and low cost surgeries of cats and dogs. We calculated we need about $50,000 to help our Lafayette and Oxford community to avoid unwanted litters and suffering.

Grateful for your donation:

Pibbles was found severely starved, dehydrated, and covered in fleas and ticks, yet his spirit remains unbroken. With so much love to give, Pibbles is eagerly looking for his forever home. He is a laid-back boy who absolutely adores cuddles and has been a wonderful companion to his foster, her friends, and her dog. Pibbles seems to bond more easily when another dog is around, making him the perfect addition to your furry family.
While he is scared of loud noises and sudden movements, which means he may not be the best fit for a home with young children, Pibbles's heartwarming personality shines through. He is the fastest learner his foster has ever seen and, with the right attention, he could master anything you need him to. He already knows and responds to commands like sit, down, crate, and enough.
Pibbles is always happy, always smiling, and always ready to be there for you. Despite his rough start in life, he is enthusiastic about learning and doesn't let his past hold him back. This brave boy would be forever grateful to the family that welcomes him with open arms.
Pibbles is heartworm positive, but his resilience and courage make him a true treasure for the family lucky enough to call him their own.
Let us know if you are able to foster or interested in adopting him. We will help with veterinary expenses.

Found gray tabby at Lamar Park in Oxford.

9LCR was called to help with catching a kitten at a mechanic in Oxford. It was a dangerous location for the kitten as it was at a busy business and very close to a main road in Oxford.
After we set a trap we realized that it was at least three kittens. Thankfully we could borrow more kitten traps from Oxford ARC to place them around the property. The mechanics monitored the traps and reported to us when a kitten was caught.
Two of the little ones were successfully caught. For the third (or more??) food was left in front of a camera to help determine how many more cats/kittens need to be caught.
The little tuxedo boy and calico girl are friendly; looks like a drop off to us 😞.

🆘 still need a foster 🆘

❗️Medical Foster Needed❗️

We need a foster for this sweet kitty. Must be comfortable doing meds & frequent feedings. Please let us know ASAP if you can help! She needs a bath at least 1x day, fluids, oral meds 2x, & frequent wet foods. She takes all meds very easily & is very loving. Just sits, purrs & makes biscuits.

Foster applications can be found here https://linktr.ee/9lcroxms (if you’re a current foster, just send us a message).

Found tabby/white cat on the Olemiss Campus in Oxford. It is dehydrated, malnourished, and sick with an upper respiratory infection.
A microchip was not detected.

We at 9LCR want to thank everyone for their generous donations towards Pibble’s aka Lucky’s veterinarian bill and future care!
Big thank you to the Bottletree Animal Hospital team for seeing him so quickly and tending to his needs!!
Big Thank you to his foster mom Ashley for her love and dedication towards his care.
His bath water was almost black and the numbers of ticks that were pulled off him filled a small jar 🤢. But now, he is feeling so much better. We are convinced, due to his gentle behavior, that he was someone’s pet before, but also most likely chained or otherwise confined with limited movement.
Pibble now gets plenty of love and free roaming time (in the house) and he loves it.
Medical treatment is ongoing for his heartworm diagnosis. Still a long way to go. If you are interested in adopting, we will cover the heartworm treatment costs, let us know.

**Crossposting, these kittens are not with 9LCR but can be transported easily to a meet and greet.**

These two beautiful and very sweet kittens are 8 weeks old and are looking for a new home. However, they tested positive for FIV but may test negative in about 4 months from now. No matter the test outcome they can have an awesome and long life! Let us know if you are interested in providing a loving indoor only home for them.
Here are owners of FIV cats praising their lovebugs.

🚨🚨Sigh… another motherless litter of four newborn kittens found. They are just a day or two old. Looking for a mama cat or more that may take them. They should be placed with kittens of the same age or they will not get enough food.
Litter can be split up to make it easier on the mamas. We will supply food.

The orange kittens Burnaby, Burnette and Burnie found solace when a caring neighbor stepped in after a distressing encounter with a drunk individual. The kind neighbor, battling cancer and facing imminent surgery, found themselves confronted with the challenge of a landlord's strict no-cat policy. This situation put the compassionate neighbor at risk of eviction and 9 Lives Cat Rescue stepped in to finding them all a good home. They are all the embodiment of love, exuberance, and playfulness. Apply now to foster or adopt to help them on the next step of their journey.

This is one of the many ways of rescue that 9 Lives Cat Rescue has helped with:
We saw this recent outreach to help ‘Bandit’, who was stuck in a tree for six long days in this cold weather.
Many people have shared it, many have commented on it. 9LCR took action and paid a professional tree climber to get ‘Bandit’ down asap.
It wasn’t cheap. But thanks to your recent donations we could afford this rescue mission to reunite him with his wheelchair bound owner.
Thank you everyone for your support of 9LCR to make this and other rescues possible!!

Missing again. White cat with two different eye colors.

***Second update 12/1/23
Thank you all so much for the generous donations coming in to keep 9LCR going.

** First update on the kitten: Unfortunately he could not produce urine and it was decided to humanely euthanize him. He was very sweet, the clinic staff said 💔
———-
Yesterday, this innocent kitten fell victim to a car accident, resulting in multiple pelvic fractures and paralyzed legs. A heartfelt thank you to our 9LCR volunteers who swiftly assisted and ensured it received attention at Magnolia Small Animal Hospital.

The future for this little one is uncertain—whether it will regain the ability to walk or if we must make the difficult decision to euthanize in the coming days.

Regrettably, the outcome of our Giving Tuesday Fundraiser adds to our somber situation. We only managed to raise a mere $145 in donations, signaling a potential financial struggle. This leaves us questioning if our supporters can’t afford to contribute, if our services are deemed unnecessary, or if there’s dissatisfaction with our efforts. Please let us know.

With funds depleting, we sadly find ourselves compelled to temporarily halt our services, including trapping, spaying/neutering, and aiding sick or injured animals.
