9 Lives Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which depends soley upon unpaid volunteers to operate. As we don't have a shelter, we keep our cats in foster homes until they are adopted. Thus, the number of cats we can rescue depends directly on the number of foster homes we have - the more people willing to foster, the more animals we can rescue. We are also a "no-kill" organization and will euthanize an animal only if its health is so poor that trying to keep it alive would be cruel to the animal. It is our objective to make every effort to place all animals that come into our care into appropriate loving homes.
Most of our cats are in foster homes. However, we rotate cats through the adoption center at the Powers Petsmart (NE Powers & Constitution). Potential adopters can visit them during regular store hours. We have volunteers at the adoption center every Saturday from 11am-3pm for our regular adoption fair. Volunteers can also meet potential adopters by appointment with a filled out application. We ask that a potential adoptor fill out our adoption form after selecting a possible new pet. This adoption form is a questionaire that helps us determine if the adoptor's situation is compatible with the selected pet's personality. This is why it is important that the possible new pet be selected before the application process. If the adoption counselors decide that the situation and pet's personality are not compatible, that by no means is an indication of the adoptor's suitability as a pet owner. Applications are available at the adoption center, by calling our hotline at 719 591-4640, emailing us at cats@colorado9lives.com, or downloading here. Completed applications can be emailed to cats@colorado9lives.com
