Looking For a Cat This Holiday Season?

Visit The Nine Lives Foundation shelter in Redwood City. Our cats will keep you warm this winter and are much softer than a Snuggie. With over 150 cats of every size, color and personality, you are bound to find a love match.

Founded in 2003 by Monica Thompson, D.V.M., first as the non-profit Feline Well-Care Clinic, a veterinary hospital that occasionally rescued cats. As time went on, Dr. Thompson discovered her true passion was rescuing cats from Bay Area shelters that would otherwise be euthanized.

In December of 2004 she established the no-kill Nine Lives Foundation, a community-based not-for-profit 501(c3) organization. Since then we have rescued and adopted out more than 2,500 cats and kittens.

Housed in a large warehouse, the uniqueness of Nine Lives is evident the moment you walk through the door. There are cats everywhere to greet you. The majority of the cats reside in large play cages where they have room to play, interact and socialize while waiting for their forever homes. But the lucky resident cats walk around and act as feline ambassadors.

The amazing adoption counselors know the personality and temperament of every cat there. Give them a description of the kind of cat you are looking for and they will find a few to fit your bill.

As a non-profit, we are always looking for volunteers to help with adoptions, fostering kittens, fundraising, grant writing, event planning, public relations, web development, general maintenance, and cat socializing. If you have a skill, we need you. Even if it’s just to stop in occasionally to cuddle cats. And you can volunteer as much or as little of your time as you would like. You will find volunteering at Nine Lives to be a fun and rewarding experience.

Our next event:

“A Home for the Holidays” Open House is December 12th
