Looking for the purr-fect team-building day for your company? 🐾✨

At Nine Lives, community partnerships are at the heart of everything we do!

From corporate Away Days like Meta's Legal Team to local youth groups crafting enrichment toys, hosting groups at Nine Lives is a total win-win:

✨ Real Team Bonding: Ditch the screens and connect through hands-on shelter projects.
🐾 Direct Impact: Help enrich the lives of rescue cats while they await their forever homes.

Aloha, Anela! 🌺🐾

Meet Anela, a beautiful tortie girl who originally came to us all the way from Kauai! "Anela" means angel in Hawaiian, which couldn't be a more perfect fit for this sweet girl. She’s the definition of lei-back vibes—her favorite pastime is lounging comfortably in her bed, watching the world go by, and happily welcoming friendly visitors with purrs and affection.

Anela is a world-class expert at receiving chin and head scratches, and she’s bound to be the ultimate lap cat of one lucky adopter's dreams! If you’re looking to add a little island sunshine and endless sweetness to your home, come meet her today. Help us spread the aloha and share her post to get her adopted! ❤️🌴

It’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and we have some amazing news to share... we currently have ZERO senior cats in our shelter! 🐾✨

Thanks to our incredible community, all of our golden-years felines have found their forever couches. But while our seniors are all settled in, our mature adults are still waiting for their second chances!

Older cats make wonderful companions—they’re calm, affectionate, past the messy kitten stage, and ready to snuggle.

Spotlight on our VIP Adults looking for love:

🦁 Leo: At 8 years old, Leo is our oldest resident! He’s a resilient, chatty, and social boy who hasn't let past hardship dull his sweet spirit. Leo loves attention, pets, and is ready for a peaceful home to call his own.

🍊 Tyler: This majestic orange tabby’s owner moved into assisted living. Tyler is calm, chatty, and outgoing with a big heart. He’s a wonderful mature cat ready to bring endless love to a patient adopter!

👑 Flynn: Our handsome gentle giant! Flynn was sadly returned to us because his previous owners moved, but he’s ready to find a forever home that will keep him safe and loved for good.

🤖 Optimus Prime: A sweet, gentle, and curious girl whose personality truly shines once she feels comfortable. She loves exploring, observing everything around her, and stalking her favorite toys!

Share this post to help us find forever homes for our adult residents!

Slide right to witness real-life Paranormal Cat-ivity:

• Suspicious glares from under the blankets 🕸️
• Creatures who will 100% conduct a 3:00 AM sprint down your hallway

Do not be fooled by their tiny toe beans. They are scheming. They are plotting. They want your soul (and your lap).

🎃 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL EXTENDED THROUGH NOV 1st! 🎃

🚨 NEWS FLASH: $150 SPAY & NEUTER ALL NOVEMBER! 🚨

One very special kitty is helping us get ahead of next year’s kitten season. 🐱

Thanks to an incredibly generous one-time donation from Jo, made in honor of beloved kitty Wampus, Nine Lives is able to offer spay and neuter surgeries for privately owned cats for just $150 throughout November!

Jo’s gift is subsidizing our already low-cost surgeries to remove even more barriers to care — and help prevent unwanted litters and fewer kittens being born on the streets next spring.

Want the Wampus rate?

📞 Call Nine Lives at 650-368-1365
📅 Book any available spay/neuter appointment in November
🐾 Tell our front desk team: “WAMPUS!”

That’s it — $150 spay or neuter!

And even if your kitty is already fixed, you can help: SHARE THIS POST! Send it to a friend, neighbor, community group, or anyone you know with a cat who still needs to be spayed or neutered.

The more people who hear about Wampus, the more cats we can help. 💛

Thank you, Jo. Thank you, Wampus. Now let’s get some kitties fixed!
