Brand: 9 Lives Cat Rescue of Oxford MS

Tabby/Tuxedo

Samir didn’t begin life destined for a comfortable couch. He and his siblings were born outdoors to a feral mama at a local water park in Oxford. Thankfully, the little family was safely captured before the kittens grew up without learning to trust people. Mama was spayed through TNR and returned to the territory she knew, while Samir and his siblings headed into foster care.

And what a difference foster care made!

With plenty of patience, gentle handling, playtime, and affection, Samir learned that humans can be pretty wonderful. The kitten born to a feral mama has turned into a genuine little love bug who enjoys human companionship. He has also spent time around small children and does well with them, making him a wonderful candidate for a family home.

Samir has already made the biggest transition of his young life—from being born outdoors to discovering the comforts and affection of indoor living. Now he’s ready for the final step.

No more water-park life for this boy. Samir is ready for a forever home where he can grow up surrounded by love, playtime, and people of his very own.

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.
