My story

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

Hello, humans! My name is Mary Shelley, and I came to Tenth Life as a very young, pregnant stray. After caring for my three perfect babies, I am ready to move on to my new life and find my forever family.

What makes me unique? Well, my athletic prowess is second to none! If I was a high school jock, I'd win that baseball MVP trophy every year. Fetch isn't just a game for me, it's life. Throw a curveball my way and watch me fly through the air and catch it with ease with my little furry mitt. After, I'll politely trot over and return it to you in hopes we'll keep playing. I won't even beg you for a snow cone after the game!

If you couldn't tell, I'm very smart and catch on quickly. I'm also very curious and like to chit chat with you about all of life's mysteries. I'm a very loving girl and love, love, love to be petted. Though just a heads-up, I'm a little shy at first but warm up super quickly! New things, people, or noises can give me pause, but with gentle reassurance, I relax just fine. I would likely do best as the only cat in my castle, but I may be open to a kitty friend with a slow, proper introduction.

More about this rescue

Tenth Life's Mission:
Giving cats the lives they deserve.
At Tenth Life, we believe that every cat, regardless of emotional or physical limitations, deserves the chance at a fulfilling and happy life.
We provide veterinary care, foster homes, and adoptive placement to stray cats and kittens, prioritizing those with special needs. We work to end unnecessary euthanasia and cat homelessness through educational outreach, community programs, and collaborative partnerships.

Only when a trusted veterinarian determines that a cat is in a state of incurable suffering, does Tenth Life relieve them of their pain through gentle and humane euthanasia. This difficult and thoughtful decision is never made in response to a lack of space, negative behaviors, or because a cat's medical needs are challenging or expensive.

To learn more about some of the cats we prioritize, visit our website, www.tenthlifecats.org. Thank you!


Tenth Life. When Nine Aren't Enough.
