My story

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

Ideal Home: Cool, calm, and collected... with Churus! 

Qualities: Gentle, Inquisitive, Calm

Minka is a 1.5 year old sweet girl who came to Ten Lives after being rejected by her colony. Weighing just 3.5 pounds when we rescued her, Minka hasn't looked back since meeting her foster mom and is enjoying the luxuries of being a house kitty! Minka is understandably slow to warm up but is certainly more confident and social when she can follow the lead of another social and confident cat. She perks right up when she is with a fellow feline companion, and she would benefit from having a friendly kitty to continue to show her the ropes. 

Minka's hobbies include brushing, hanging with cat friends, and of course snacks! She enjoys slow, gentle pets and is showing off her true self each day. When her foster siblings are getting love she perks right up and comes over to join the party. She is a very sweet girl who will make a wonderful addition to her special person who will give her the time she needs to get comft. She is looking for a quiet, patient and laid back home without young children where she can relax and enjoy her favorite churu treats. 

If you think you could be Minka's match, she hopes you will fill out an application today!

Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives! Apply here:  https://tenlivescatrescue.org/adoptionapp/

Please Note:

If the cat or kitten is no longer listed in the drop-down menu of the application then they are no longer available for adoption and we are not accepting applications. Due to limited volunteer power, applications submitted for cats or kittens no longer available will not be reviewed. 

About Ten Lives:

Ten Lives Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization located in Rhode Island. Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered. We do not have a facility or shelter with regular visiting hours. Out of respect for the time, privacy, and safety of our foster families, we require an approved adoption application before scheduling a meet and greet with a foster cat. 

Our goal is to place cats in their best-matched homes and facilitate lifelong adoptions. We do not review applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. We believe that veterinary care is an important part of cat guardianship. As such, a veterinary check is part of our adoption process. Our goal is to contact applicants within 96 business hours of receiving their application. During kitten season, wait times may be longer due to the influx of applications. We are all volunteers and kindly ask for your patience! 

All Ten Lives cats are spayed or neutered, receive age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLv and parasites, dewormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped. These services are inclusive of the adoption fee.
