My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FIV cat = positively adoptable!

Goliath is a middle aged man looking for a soft hand to help him learn to trust humans a little more. He would like to spend his days lounging on a soft blanket with lots of snacks. He is a very sweet guy who loves his snacks. He’s not really into toys but he has been an outside cat most (if not all) of his life until he came to us.

He was a feral at one of our feeding stations & one day was limping. We trapped him & took him to the vet. Turns out it was just a sprain from doing kitty cat things, but he is also FIV+. This is not a death sentence but it means that his outside days are over. We have been working with him but feel he would make more progress is a quieter, slower home. He prefers women over men & loves running around the house at night finding all the new things that came in during the day. We believe he’ll make someone very happy, but he just needs a little time & patience first.

Research shows FIV is only transmitted through deep blood-drawing bite wounds. FIV+ cats can happily live in socialized multicat households.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our 9LCR cats are not routinely tested for FIV and FeLV for various reasons, one being to keep the costs and hence the adoption fee affordable. This decision is based on studies that have found that only about 4% of cats are actually infected. The funds for testing are better utilized for our spay and neuter efforts of owned and community cats in order to save the most cats. However, testing can be performed upon request and need to be covered by the person interested in adopting.
9 Lives Cats have been spayed or neutered and have updated vaccinations. 9 Lives is run entirely on volunteers. Please give us 2-7 days to process your application. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us! Please fill out our application form found here: t.ly/38VV
Adoption fee is $70.00.

More about this rescue

We started 9 Lives Cat Rescue to find homes for cats that are homeless or need to be relocated.
We are a no-kill, non-profit group. Our cats live in foster homes until they are adopted. We spay & neuter every cat before they are adopted.
We fully support our local no-kill feral cat group who practices TNR (Trap, Neuter & Return).
