9 Lives Cat Rescue of Oxford MS

The 9 Lives Cat Rescue is a small, welcoming group for cats and the people who love them. Since its foundation in 2006, it has provided care and compassion to stray and surrendered cats in Oxford and Lafayette County MS. The 9 Lives Cat Rescue Group is a volunteer only based 501(C)3 non-profit group. We can take in a limited number of animals (all ages) depending on available foster homes. We offer low and free spay/neuter surgeries for cats (and the occasional dog). We help with transporting animals to/from the veterinarians on surgery days for owners that are unable to do so (no vehicle, cannot afford gas, working hrs, other). We give advice to people to help them keeping their animals to prevent them from being surrendered to 9LCR or to high kill shelters. We practice TNR since 2006 and have managed that way cat populations on several locations in town. Trapped feral cats are not tested for FelV/Fiv as a standard procedure, only if they appear sickly and veterinarian suspects they may be positive. 9LCR is helping with injured (feral) cats and provides trapping of those and consequent medical care. 9LCR has bottle-fed orphans, cared for sick and injured cats/kittens. We do as much as possible to avoid euthanasia. Euthanasia is only considered if a veterinarian recommends it and there is no other hope for recovery.

Meet Goliath - FIV+

FIV cat = positively adoptable! Goliath is a middle aged man looking for a soft hand to help him learn to trust humans a little more. He would like to spend his days lounging on a soft blanket with lots of snacks. He is a very sweet guy who loves his snacks. He’s not really into toys but he has been an outside cat most (if not all) of his life until he came to us.    He was a feral at one of our feeding stations & one day was limping. We trapped him & took him to the vet. Turns out it was just a sprain from doing kitty cat things, but he is also FIV+. This is not a death sentence but it means that his outside days are over. We have been working with him but feel he would make more progress is a quieter, slower home. He prefers women over men & loves running around the house at night finding all the new things that came in during the day. We believe he’ll make someone very happy, but he just needs a little time & patience first.   Research shows FIV is only transmitted through deep blood-drawing bite wounds. FIV+ cats can happily live in socialized multicat households.   Apply to foster him today! http://​linktr.ee/9lcroxms
