Nine Lives Foundation Cat Clinic

I used to take my kitty cat here for vaccines, all good. This year, I came again, after all the driving and waiting in heat, they take my cat out and said: cat hisses at vet, so can’t vaccine it. I thought I heard it wrong. My cat is less than 9 lbs, very docile, compared to any cats I ever had or met. And in which world would a cat not hiss at strangers? It’s my workday I took time off only to get this? Unbelievable. Would not recommend to anyone.

I adopted my baby boy from here! Most of the staff was helpful and the process to adopt was very painless and easy. I was able to put in an application on Thursday and pick up the cat on Monday. We have now had him for 2 years and he is the best decision I ever made! They have several cages with different options to choose from and you are able to meet with the cats and find which one works best for you :)

Low cost spay of my owned cat. No difficulty scheduling online and 1/4 the price of local SJ vets. Well worth the hour drive each way for drop off and pick up. Friendly staff. They provide a lot of services and don't try to hose you with exams, vaccines, and other prerequisites like local vets do.

This so called cat nonprofit could greatly benefit from diversity training I found them unbelievably in the present time very anti African American, rude, unorganized. On my first day of surgical tech training on Jefferson Street, they are surprised and uncomfortable when I presented as if they had never seen or interacted with an African American before. Later I was even cordially encouraged to skip training and leave. I can not believe such narrow, small minded people exist in this day and age who are also bias in fostering and adoption practices. They refused to process my application, refused to communicate about the cat, Ash I was interested in fostering and instead adopted him out to another party after I tolerated all the rudeness and non assistance on my non volunteer visit days with Ash. Please consider supporting and donating to other cat adoption centers were the people are more humanistic and not narrow minded, biased or as I experienced racist as Nine lives has proven to be during my experience as a volunteer and a prospective fostering adopter in which I was never given the common courtesy of communication or consideration of my completed fostering application, instead they give the cat away to another who applied after I did without ever replying back regarding my application for Ash. I would donate, volunteer and support for any other cat rescue EXCEPT NINE LIVES Cat Foundation.

I took my kitten for a spaying 11/15. Dropped her off 7/ 7:30 am picked her up around 11 am. She was feeling fine but by Sunday she was weak and lethargic. Tuesday Mrng I finally called after speaking with a few vets and Carina said there was nothing they could do. The 70 hours had elapsed and it's best if I took her to a vet or emergency, ($500 later). Which, I did and took her to sage. Turns out she had an infection and a fever and was in pain. They were very upset 9 lives sent her home with me with no pain meds and refused to see her. They recommended I call and speak to the doctor whom called me the next day and said they could see her now. This was obviously too little too late. It's disappointing especially after my family donates to this foundation and needless to say we will Ng be any longer. They should have made it. A point to see my kitten and was very unprofessional, especially carina and no empathy for my pet. DO NOT take your pet here if you care for them. Fortunately I was able to afford the ER bill. However , many vets have also attested to the quality and reputation oof this foundation being bad now. Sadly, I can as well.
