In Rhode Island and across the country, scared and under socialized cats roam the streets or find themselves a euthanasia risk in shelters because they are considered “unadoptable.” This population of cats come from various situations: Some are born outside and received a small amount of human interaction, others have spent their entire lives living with elderly owners and receiving minimal socialization, and many of these cats have been abandoned by former owners—left to fend for themselves, spending significant time struggling on the streets.
These cats are not feral. They are terrified, defensive, and confused. At Ten Lives, we believe they’re worth saving.
Ten Lives is committed to rescuing these forgotten felines and with the help of our dedicated foster families we are able to give them the support they need to blossom. Through socialization sessions, positive reinforcement, and persistence we are able to witness remarkable breakthroughs- big and small.
