Many of the cats we rescue have no home waiting for them. Yet they are not suited for life in a feral colony. To meet the needs of these cats, 9th Life has created two cat sanctuaries in upcountry Maui, currently housing over 250 rescued cats. Here, unwanted cats are placed in the best possible circumstances for their health and temperament. In our sanctuaries, they can heal and adjust while we search for loving homes. The upkeep on these facilities is expensive, and we always welcome funds and volunteer support to maintain our high standards of cat care. We hope to purchase additional land for the construction of an exclusive no-kill adoption center.  This facility will help us find good homes for cats, and let the community know about our efforts to create a no-kill environment for all creatures.

Sometimes, we encounter cats who have very special needs, due to contagious conditions or injuries. Our no-kill catteries include safe, comfortable rooms dedicated to providing quality conditions that allow each cat to have a full and happy life.
