My story

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

Otis is a sweet, older gentleman who deserves a warm, loving home to spend his golden years. Estimated to have been born in 2017, he was found as a stray in the county, likely having fended for himself for some time. Despite his rough past, Otis is incredibly gentle and friendly—he’s a true sweetheart who gets along wonderfully with people and other cats. He shows no aggression at all and enjoys quiet companionship and plenty of mealtime attention—this boy *loves* to eat!

Otis is a special needs cat due to his age and FIV+ status, but don’t let that scare you. FIV+ cats can live long, fulfilling lives indoors with minimal extra care. He simply needs a stable, low-stress environment and regular vet checkups to stay healthy.

If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate cat who will appreciate every bit of kindness you give, Otis is your guy. Give this senior sweetheart a second chance at the safe, loving home he’s been waiting for.

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).
