Meet Napoleon! 👑

One by one, Napoleon’s siblings packed their bags and headed off to their forever homes. 🧳 Now this nearly three-month-old kitten is waiting for his turn.

In the meantime, he’s keeping busy with all the important things in life: leaping after feather wands, chasing balls, and curling up for snuggly naps.

Now all Napoleon needs is a kingdom to call his own. Could he be your perfect match? Come meet this sweet boy today! 🐾

🐈 Yesterday marked a milestone for Nine Lives.

Dr. Ramírez and her team completed a record-breaking 66 surgeries in a single day at our new center—surpassing her personal best and setting a new facility record.

This is more than a record. It’s a clear sign that Nine Lives is building the capacity to meet demand, expand access to care, and get ahead of kitten season in a real, measurable way.

None of this would be possible without our donors. Your support is what made this center—and this level of impact—possible.

Every surgery represents a life changed, a community supported, and a future made possible.

We’d love to welcome you for a tour of our new facility to see this work firsthand—and invite you to support Nine Lives with a gift that helps us continue expanding access to lifesaving care. Email [email protected] for more information! 🐾

🐾✨ OH, THE PLACES YOU’LL GO… WITH A KITTEN IN TOE! ✨🐾

Would you, could you, like a friend?
A tiny kitten ‘til the end?
A purring pal to zoom and play?
To brighten up your every day?

Then come on down — don’t wait, don’t snooze!
And meet our darling Dr. Seuss crew! 💫

There’s Sam I Am with whiskers so neat,
Who thinks every lap is the very best seat.

Cindy Lou Hoo is tiny and sweet,
With little white socks on her teeny tiny feet.

Dr. Seuss himself is silly and spry,
Chasing toy mice as they zoom right by!

And Horton? Oh Horton! So loving and round,
The snuggliest kitten that ever was found. 🖤🤍

These black-and-white babies are 8 weeks old,
Full of mischief and cuddles and courage so bold.
They wrestle! They tumble! They pitter-pat race!
Then suddenly fall asleep right on your face. 😴

So if your home feels quiet or flat…
Perhaps what you need… is a Seussical cat! 🎩🐱

A very special patient came to our spay/neuter clinic today: a male calico cat! 🧡🖤🤍

Male calicos are extremely rare — occurring in only about 1 in 3,000 calico cats due to a unique genetic combination. In over 7 years of performing high-volume spay/neuter surgery, this was the first male calico Dr. Ramirez has ever neutered!

He did great for his procedure and is recovering well. We love moments like these that remind us how amazing — and genetically fascinating — cats can be. ✨

Thank you for supporting accessible spay/neuter care for every cat that comes through our doors. 🐾

Say hello to Appletini and Applejack! 🍎🐾

These 11-week-old siblings came to Nine Lives a few weeks ago from Stanislaus Animal Services. When they arrived, they were thin and fighting upper respiratory infections, which required time, treatment, and plenty of care to get back on their paws. 🩺

Now Appletini (black and white) and her brother Applejack are thriving and settling into the sweet side of kitten life. 💫 They’ve traded medicine and recovery time for full bellies, cozy naps, and all the comforts of finally feeling well again.

These two little apples are ready to find their forever families. Come meet them this weekend! 💚

🇺🇸🐾 MEMORIAL WEEKEND SPECIAL: YOUR LONG WEEKEND NEEDS A CAT. 🐾🇺🇸

Long weekend plans looking a little… uninspired?
May we interest you in a tiny roommate with absolutely no boundaries and surprisingly strong opinions?

From Wednesday, May 20th – Monday, May 25th, ALL cats and kittens are just $50! 🎉

Yes. Really.

For less than the price of a moderately disappointing brunch, you could leave with:
🐱 A personal greeter (for every bathroom trip)
🐱 A professional nap consultant
🐱 A certified bug inspector
🐱 One tiny creature who will lovingly ignore the expensive toy you bought and instead become emotionally attached to a twist tie

Our adoption center is FULL of kittens, adults, seniors, tiny weirdos, cuddle experts, dramatic performers, and future soulmates waiting for someone to say,
“You know what? My house could use more fur.”

This Memorial Weekend, skip the traffic.
Skip the crowds.
Come home with someone who thinks your shoelaces are the greatest invention in human history.

❤️ All cats & kittens: $50 adoption fee
📅 Wednesday, May 20th – Monday, May 25th

Yesterday was nothing short of incredible. 💙🐾

As part of the Champions for Pet Health initiative, Nine Lives was proud to provide entirely FREE spay & neuter surgeries, vaccines, microchips, flea treatment, and preventative care for cats and kittens across our community — including owned pets, rescue cats, and community/feral cats who otherwise may never have received lifesaving veterinary care.

Thanks to the extraordinary support of the La Russa Rescue Foundation, Maddie's Fund, and BISSELL Pet Foundation, our team was able to:

🐱 Perform 73 spay and neuter surgeries
💉 Administer hundreds of vaccines
📍 Implant dozens of microchips
🩺 Provide flea prevention, wellness treatments, FeLV/FIV testing, fluids, nail trims, ear care, and additional medical services
🐾 Help both friendly owned cats and feral/community cats through targeted TNR efforts with ear-tipping and preventative care

The day included everything from pediatric kitten surgeries and cryptorchid neuters to pregnant spays, community cat sterilization, rescue partner support, and advanced preventative medicine.

None of this would have been possible without our phenomenal medical team, led by the incredible Dr. Ramirez, whose dedication, efficiency, and compassion helped make this one of the most impactful clinic days we’ve ever had.

“Every surgery today represents generations of suffering prevented. Every vaccine, every microchip, every community cat helped means a healthier future not only for individual cats, but for our entire community. High-volume, high-quality spay and neuter saves lives on a massive scale — and seeing so many people come together for cats today was incredibly powerful.” — Dr. Ramirez

To our volunteers, veterinary staff, rescue partners, trappers, fosters, and supporters: thank you for helping us prove what is possible when a community comes together for animals.

This is what lifesaving looks like.
Let’s save lives together. 🐈💙

Meet Marcus, a sweet 1.5-year-old boy with wide, curious eyes and an adorably inquisitive face. 🐾

Marcus was originally rescued by San Jose Animal Care Center after suffering pelvic fractures on the streets. He then came into our care to complete his recovery, and he has been a model patient ever since.

After several weeks of cage rest, Marcus has healed beautifully and is back to moving around comfortably. ✨ He only has a few days left of restricted activity, but for now, he is taking his couch potato duty very seriously. 🛋️

Marcus is available for adoption now and cannot wait to shower his new family with love. Come meet this charming, resilient boy this weekend! 💛
