Visit Our Website To Donate: Ninelivescatlounge.com Frequently Asked Questions:

1. While we would love to visit with your cat, we ask that you leave him at home. All of our cats arrive at Nine Lives with a clean bill of health and are used to the environment and our other cats here at the lounge.

2. What If I'm Allergic To Cats? That is perfectly fine. We do have other options! You can visit our

cafe, where we will have beverages and pastries available. You can also drink your beverage in the lower lounge waiting area where we have a large window looking in to see the cats right on the other side!

3. How Do I Adopt from Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center? Great Question! We hope we can connect you with your next "fur baby" Once you arrive if there is a certain kitty you would like to see, let one of our staff know and we will make sure he/she is out to play (if available, not sleeping, quarantined etc) We will walk you through the adoption process. We will have you fill out a questionnaire and a general adoption contract through us. Pictures and descriptions of adoptable cats are also located on our website at https://www.ninelivescatlounge.com/adoptable-cats

4. Why Is There a Fee to Visit with The Kitties? As it is our goal to provide our guests with a unique experience where they can fall in love with their next family member, we do charge a nominal fee to help care for the cats (Food, Vet, Litter, Sanitization etc.) and help pay to keep a roof over the kitties' heads until they find their forever home.

5. Can I Surrender My Cat to Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center? While we wish we could take in every cat we come across. Unfortunately, we are not able to take in rescues or strays at this time. All of our cats arrive at Nine Lives ready for adoption with a clean bill of health. Introducing a stray or rescue could put the other cats here at the lounge at risk of getting sick. Our main goal is to keep the kitties safe and healthy! We however will help you get in contact with the best route for you to get them in care to get them on track to a new forever home. We are able to take in certain home-ready cats that get along with other cats and aren't scared of people and loud noises.

6. Are the Cats Running Free in the Lounge? We are working closely with the health department to provide our guests a safe and clean space. We have split the building into two totally separate areas, with 3 different sections, we have the cafe side which is come and go as you please (No Fee) this is our beverage and Cereal side. We have 5 tables that sit 4 guests at each table (No Cats Allowed). We have, what we call the lower lounge waiting area, this is where all the merchandise is kept. Guests waiting to enter the lounge can check out all of our custom merchandise, or if you just wanted to look through the large window at the cats without going in that is welcome as well, there is no fee for this area. Last but not least, we have what we call the lounge, which is accessed through a double-door entry at the end of the hallway. Waivers will be required to enter this area. Adults must accompany children under 12 at all times. There are rules in place to keep our little kitties safe and not afraid to come to play!! Guests are able to purchase different time frames they would like to visit the kitties ranging from 15 minutes at $4 to 90 minutes at $15.

7. Is Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center Kid-Friendly? Yes, of course! Children under 12 must have adult supervision at all times while in the lounge. Our goal is to have our guests and cats have the best time but the safest at the lounge as they can. We just ask that you follow the rules we have set in place. This helps our kitties feel safe and helps with not having accidents. Cats do have their claws so if they get scared, they may scratch (ouch) we don't want that. Cats, just like children can get scared by any sudden movement, so just move slowly and with care.

8. What Are Nine Lives Cancellation Policy? While we understand things come up suddenly that lead to having to cancel, we will do everything we can to work with you at rescheduling or canceling completely. Please understand that as a small business, we ask for a 24-hour notice of any changes to your reservation to receive a full refund or credit towards a future reservation. This allows us to try to fill the reservation.

9. Does Nine Lives Host Private Events? We do offer private events. We can offer small parties, school events, date nights, yoga, etc. If you are wanting to have an event here at Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center, please visit: https://www.ninelivescatlounge.com/book-a-party and click on Contact Meow to schedule a free consultation with our event coordinator.

😼💬 Attention, humans… the cats have something to say! 💬😼

If we had phones, you’d be getting notifications ALL day long. 📱 Here’s what we’d be texting you from Nine Lives:

🐾 Meredith: “HELLO??? I said take me home. Why are you still sitting there??”
🐾 Artisan: “Play with me or I’ll knock this cup off the table.”
🐾 Ciabatta: “Send snacks. Immediately.”
🐾 Atticus: “Pet me. No, not like that. Do it again.”

Now it’s your turn, humans — if YOUR cat could text you right now, what message would they send? 😹 Drop it in the comments, we want to hear them all!

✨ It’s Meredith Monday again! ✨

Sweet Meredith Grey is still here waiting for her forever home, but she’s been making some real progress lately! 💕 She has started venturing into the lounge more often, where you’ll probably hear her meowing away — not because she’s upset, but because she’s trying to convince YOU to scoop her up and take her home. 🐾

Meredith is still a little stressed in the lounge, but she’s showing us that she’s ready for love. She just needs that special someone who will listen to her sweet little pleas and give her the quiet, comfortable forever home she deserves.

Could you be the one Meredith’s been waiting for? Stop by this week and come meet her — she’ll probably tell you herself that she wants to go home with you. 🏡💖

🌟 It’s Monday… and you know what that means… it’s Meredith Monday! 🌟

Our gorgeous girl Meredith is back to remind you that she is still looking for her forever home 💕

Meredith is all about the cuddles and attention—if you want a cat who will happily soak up all the love you can give, she’s your girl! She’s playful, affectionate, and always ready to be the center of attention.

She’s been waiting so patiently for her perfect family to come along. Could it be you? 🐱💖

Come meet Meredith at Nine Lives Cat Rescue and Adoption Center and see why we love her so much!

🐾✨ Big milestone alert for our shy guy, Atticus! ✨🐾

A lot of our regulars know Atticus’s story — he came to us about a year and a half ago so scared of people that we had to wear gloves just to change his food and water. Over time, he’s learned to feel safer here, but he’s always kept his distance. Pets and cuddles aren’t really his thing, and usually if you get too close, he’ll dash away.

But lately, we’ve noticed something incredible… Atticus has been slowly starting to come out of his shell. And today — for the very first time since he’s been here — we caught him PLAYING! 🥹💖 He and little Ciabatta had the sweetest playtime, and we could not be prouder of this brave boy.

Please join us in congratulating Atticus on this HUGE step forward. Drop him a little “way to go, Atticus!” in the comments, and if you stop by the lounge, maybe give him some extra love (from a respectful distance) for being such a good, brave boy. 💕

Atticus is still waiting for his forever home — maybe with a patient family who can cheer him on as he keeps growing and blossoming. 🌟

Sometimes life is too serious, so let’s play a game. We dropped some pictures of our fabulous feline crew, and now we want YOU to join in!

Basically, today’s all about cat chaos and giggles. We want to see your favorite residents, adoptable sweethearts, or just hear who you think is the funniest furball in the building.

Ready, set… comment below and let’s make this thread the most pawsome party ever! 🎉🐈

💙 It’s time for our weekly tradition… Meredith Monday! 💙

Every Monday, we shine the spotlight on our sweet girl Meredith, who is still waiting so patiently for her forever home. 🏡✨

She’s been making wonderful progress—venturing into the lounge more and bravely exploring—but we can still see that she’s a little stressed here. What she really needs is her very own family where she can relax, be spoiled, and soak up all the attention. 💕

So let’s do what we do best: like, share, and spread the word to help Meredith finally find her happy ending. Let’s make THIS Meredith Monday the one that brings her home! 🐾💙

🌟 It’s Monday… and you know what that means… it’s Meredith Monday! 🌟
