Who We Are
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 and dogs in foster homes until
they are adopted. Thus, the number of cats and dogs 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.
Adopting a friend
9 Lives holds an adoption fair every Saturday when adopters can come and meet our animals. If
you find one you like, you fill out an application and can adopt when it is approved. If you see
one of our fosters on our webpage, we can also email you an application. There is an adoption fee
which goes directly to cover the costs of maintaining our foster animals. We do have some wonderful
older animals and shy animals who need homes. Please keep them in mind when looking for a companion.
Come Visit Us!
We are a network of foster homes and do not have a shelter facility. Currently we hold weekly
adoption fairs on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Take a look at our
