Paws for Life was founded in July 2007, again by a small group of ordinary people, some of whom were also working for 9 Lives. Paws for Life takes in all kinds of cats, young and old, and finds permanent homes for them. Paws for Life gives priority to special needs cats and works side by side with 9 Lives to save the lives of cats who are in danger of being unnecessarily and prematurely killed because of their age and health status. Many are homeless strays, and some are in our care because their owners can no longer keep them. Paws for Life needs volunteer temporary carers and permanent homes.
