Story
👨‍🍳 Meet Radar- an aspiring purr-sonal chef! 👨‍🍳2-year-old Radar is a snack detector with surveillance ears that can find food anywhere in the house! This taste-tester is just trying to build the best recipes for his future purr-fession in the kitchen. When he isn't trying to steal some food, Radar keeps himself busy happily playing with his toys, especially his wand, or enjoying a good snooze after tiring himself out!Radar is looking for a home where he can enjoy pets and cheek scratches, accompanied by endless (kitty approved) snacks. He is a little shy at first but quickly warms up and shows off his friendly, adorable personality! He has his bags packed and is ready for his forever home, perhaps with you?Radar is now accepting adoption applications, available below!Radar has a grade 3 heart murmur, which is being proactively evaluated so we can best support his long-term health. He has an echocardiogram scheduled at Bay State Veterinary Services in Swansea, MA on April 1, 2026, with the cost covered by the rescue. Radar is currently feeling great and shows no symptoms related to his heart. Any follow-up care recommended after the appointment would be the responsibility of the adopter.___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
🖤 Meet Ashen — a soul as gentle as his heart 🖤Ashen is a stunning panther estimated to be around 13 years old who is looking for a soft spot to land in his golden years. With an adorable white patch on his chest and thoughtful eyes, he is an affectionate and gentle boy who brings calm and comfort to those around him.Ashen enjoys the simple things in life — long catnaps, a full bowl of food, and love from his human. After too many years outside, he’s ready to relax indoors, watching the birds and daily soap operas with someone special. Even at 13, he still enjoys wand toys and a little catnip as part of his peaceful routine.Ashen is looking for a home where he can receive plenty of love and pets while living his best, coziest life. He is currently eating a prescription kidney-support diet and is doing well on it. He has also recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and has started medication. He is hard of hearing, but that certainly doesn’t stop him from knowing when the squirrels are rustlin’ outside his window. Ashen has a few age-related health items that will need ongoing monitoring, including blood pressure, a mild heart murmur, and dental care down the road, but these will be managed as part of his routine veterinary care after adoption. In return, he offers soft purrs, gentle companionship, and the sweetest wet nose boops.If you’re ready to give this lovable senior the comfortable, loving home he deserves, please fill out an application today. 🖤___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
🐾 Meet Coltrane- A Big Meatball with a Kitten Meow 🐾Coltrane is a dapper 2-year-old house panther, cool, calm, and collected. He enjoys the company of his person and hearing all about their day before telling them about his. Our chatty boy will talk it up and will happily trill when his heart is content. Coltrane is an ex-purr-t biscuit maker and has the most adorable purr we’ve ever heard. An outside kitty no more, Coltrane is thankful not to be out in this cold and is slowly learning the luxuries of indoor life. He loves playing with wand toys, hunting catnip mousies, and snuggling on cozy blankets. So far, Coltrane has met a few cats and done well, so we think that his mild-mannered personality would do fine with a proper introduction.Our mellow guy is sure to bring happiness wherever he goes, and hopes to be spending his days with you! Coltrane is now accepting adoption applications. ___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
7-month-old Agnes is ready to light up your life! This special girl is looking for an equally special person to spend all her days with. Agnes has been making progress but is still a shy girl who will need a calm, gentle routine to keep that confidence building. She can never say no to a squeeze up treat on a spoon, and is showing that playful side with her fishing pole toy! Agnes will do best in a patient home that will give her the time and hidey spots she needs to observe from a distance and get comfy. She gets along with other kitties but has not been tested with dogs. Young children are likely not a good match given her reserved personality and hopes to find a quiet spot to land. If you think you could be a match for Agnes, she hopes you will fill out an application today!*You can meet Agnes at PetSmart in Warwick today. Please avoid phone calls to the store, our team at Ten Lives is the best source to answer any questions you have!______________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
Rozlyn is a 6 month old tabby gently making her way to the adoption scene. This adorable girl is quiet and still working on her confidence, preferring to observe you from a cozy hiding spot until she's comfortable. When she begins to trust, Rozlyn shows her sweet side with soft blinks and quiet purrs. She enjoys a good squeeze up treat and long cat naps in her cat condo. Rozlyn is looking for a calm, patient home who will continue to work with her and build her trust. She gets along with other cats but would do best in a low traffic environment without any kiddos. If you think you could be Rozlyn's match, please fill out an application today. *You can meet Rozlyn at PetSmart in Warwick today.
