Story
Ideal Home: Laid back like himself, where he can be your one and only kitty!Qualities: Mellow, Gentle, EndearingBreaking Mews! We are thrilled to introduce 8 year old Bode, a dapper gentleman who is incredibly sweet and loving. Bode's favorite things include lounging in his cat condos, enjoying some catnip, and the company of his favorite person. He is shy at first, but once he warms up all he wants is to be your special 4 pawed companion. He is hard of hearing but that is just the extra charm he brings with him! Brode would prefer a home without other kitties so he can get all the attention he could dream of. He is FIV+ but is happy, healthy, and ready to his next adventure!Bode has his bags packed and is ready to come home. Adoption applications are available below, he can't wait to read them!Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus that cannot be passed onto dogs or humans. FIV is spread through deep bite wounds, typically seen on outdoor male cats who have not been neutered. It's rarely spread through grooming, sharing bowls, or litter boxes. FIV affects a cat's immune system, but most cats live long lives when they live indoors, receive routine veterinary care, have a stress-free home, and a good diet. To learn more about FIV, please visit the link below. https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv/______________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
Ideal Home: Cool, Calm and CollectedQualities: Mellow, Independent, AffectionateWe are delighted to introduce Perry, a charming 9 year old gentleman who is looking for his forever home to spend his golden years. His favorite things include treat testing, condo climbing, and bird watching!Perry is a very polite panther with people and has been showing off his affectionate side. He has been adjusting quite nicely since arriving at Ten Lives and has picked his foster dad as favorite person while he awaits his forever people to find him- he can often be found curled up on his chest making biscuits!Perry is a firm "no thank you" on dogs but doesn't mind the company of other friendly felines with the proper introduction. At 9 years old, Perry may need some time to settle into his new surroundings as all of this is very new to him. Before you know it, he will be comfy and showing off his true colors. He was previously an indoor/outdoor kitty and we think he would adore a catio or screened in porch to appeal to his inner panther, but a big window to bird watch from is equally pawsome in Perry's book! He is FIV+, but he is a happy, healthy, and ready to relax and play for all his ten lives. If you think you could be Perry's match, he hopes you will fill out an application today!Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus that cannot be passed onto dogs or humans.

Story
Ideal Home: Filled with toys, attention, and ready for his big personality!Qualities: Playful, Lovable, a bit Sassy!Pemberton was found by a good samaritan at the Coca Cola factory in Providence, hence his name, Pemberton, after the inventor of Coca Cola, John Stith Pemberton.  He's been through a lot since arriving to Ten Lives, and he's stronger for it. At just 7 months old, he is your typical playful, energetic, and curious kitten.  Once playtime is done, he loves to snuggle and follow his person around the house.  Don't even think about locking the door to any room you're in, he wants to be near you and of course help!Pemberton is extremely affectionate and friendly, even with new people, greeting them immediately upon arrival. When he isn't snuggling, Pemberton loves to play on his own with toys, snooze in sunbeams, and wrestle with his cat friends.  He would do best in a home where he gets plenty of attention, whether with someone who works from home, is retired, or has a flexible schedule. A cat friend or two would be ideal to help him burn off his kitten energy! He’s still learning his manners, so he’d thrive with adopters who have some cat experience and can provide guidance. Cat-savvy kids would be okay, but young children may not be the best fit. His adopters should also be comfortable with potential medical needs.Pem was born with a condition called atresia ani, which means he didn’t have the typical opening to pass stool. Thanks to the specialists at OSVS and a few procedures, he now has a great routine of supplements and prescription food (Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Kitten) that keeps him comfortable and regular! Pemberton is now accepting adoption applications, and you won't want to miss your chance at this precious boy!___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
2-year-old One-Way is an adorable tuxedo cat who is the perfect mix of silly, sweet, and sassy. One-Way joined Ten Lives after a Good Samaritan found her hiding in a bush next to a highway onramp and brought her to Providence Animal Control. When we found out that she had been in the shelter since November, we knew we had to get her into our foster program. One-Way has adjusted well to foster life and loves wand toys, catnip, and lounging on her foster parents' bed. Her silly side really shines when she's chasing her rainbow wand while running in and out of her tunnel. When she is not playing, One-Way enjoys rolling around in catnip or licking a tasty tube treat. One-Way would like to find a home where she can be the only cat. If you think One-Way might be a good match, please submit our adoption application! ___________________________Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives!

Story
Ideal Home: With another friendly feline to show her the ropesQualities: Independent, Shy, Professional Cat Condo InspectorScrimmage, affectionately know as Scrimmy, is a 10.5 year old house panther who is looking for her forever valentine and a soft, gentle spot to spend her golden years. Scrimmy is a shy girl who will hang out in the room with you, but at a leisurely distance of course. You see, she spent most of her life outside but was very interested in the indoor life and all it has to offer. Since arriving at Ten Lives, she hasn't looked back on her past, but looking forward can be.a little scary for her. A patient adopter who will give her the space, support, and accept her for who she is would be a wonderful match for her. Maybe she will always be your 4 pawed companion who hangs out from afar, or maybe she will find her soulmate and come a little closer. The possibilities are endless, and someone to accept her either way is all she dreams of. A home with another friendly feline to continue to show her the ropes is a must, and we just know there is someone out there who the perfect match for Scrimmy!A Forgotten Feline no more, we're committed to Scrimmy's happiness and success.
