A community based non-profit 501c3 organization that rescues cats and kittens from high-kill shelters and at-risk homeless situations, providing them with a no-kill shelter and on-site medical care, seeking permanent loving homes for them.
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age with valid ID/CDL. Applicants under 18 must have application completed by parent or guardian living in residence where cat will reside. If renting a home or apartment, we will require landlord telephone contact or lease agreement information. We require up to 5 business days to review applications, complete vet exams & necessary procedures (spay/neuter/dentistry). All adoptions are subject to 2 week trial period. Northern California residents preferred. If adopting to a household with children, we recommend that they be present when making the final selection. If adoption to a household with a dog, we require that you schedule a time to bring the dog to meet the cat. Please remember to have FUN while choosing your new companion! Nine Lives Foundation will gladly cover any needed medical treatments free of charge in our facility for any illnesses that may have been contracted at the shelter. These will include URI (cold symptoms), diarrhea, changes in skin or coat (possible ringworm), ear mites, worms or fleas (Within the first 2 to 3 weeks of adoption only). We cannot reimburse for charges incurred at another vet hospital, so please contact us immediately if you need assistance. If you live out of the area we are happy to send medications to you or call into a pharmacy of your choice. We will always take back cats or kittens adopted from the Nine Lives Foundation. If you should need to surrender your adopted cat or kittens back to us, we ask whenever possible that you notify us in advance by phone or email so that we prepare a space in our shelter. If you have medical records, we would appreciate a copy to add to the cat's file for future adopters.
