However, because we take in some very vulnerable and sick cats and kittens, some of the cats in our care do pass away or are humanely euthanized to end suffering due to incurable disease. ### 2025 Results 6518 spay/neuters 1174 adoptions 97% live release rate\* (\* Live Release Rate = Live Outcomes / All Outcomes) Nine Lives gives every cat in our care the time and support they require, no matter what they need, for as long as it takes them to find a loving home.
