My story

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

Penguin here, and I am a handsome fella just under 3 years old who enjoys playtime with my favorite feather wand and delightful catnip mice! I am looking for a laid back home with another friendly kitty to keep me company and show me the ropes. I'm looking for a home with a special someone who is willing to take things slow as I'm still working on my socialization. Since I arrived to Ten Lives, I've made some great progress. In fact, I've really been blossoming and showing how silly and playful I am! My other hobbies include climbing high where I can su-purrvise, enjoying some catnip here and there, and trying to figure out these fun food puzzles! Got some time? Spend it with me and we will work on my awesomeness together!

I am now accepting adoption applications, available below!

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. Our of respect for the time, privacy, and safety of our foster families, we require an approved adoption application prior to schedule 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, we 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.
