Tenth Life Cat Rescue
Our Mission
At Tenth Life Cat Rescue, we are dedicated to giving every cat the life they deserve, regardless of their emotional or physical limitations. We strive to end unnecessary euthanasia and reduce homelessness in St. Louis through compassionate care, education, and community-focused partnerships.
Our History
Founded on January 2, 2009, by Elizabeth Frick, Tenth Life was born from a passion for filling a critical gap in resources for stray cats with injuries and special needs. From our humble beginnings with a single foster home and the kindness of friends, we have blossomed into a vibrant, community-supported organization that has saved thousands of lives.
Our Care Model
We operate primarily as a foster-based network, allowing our cats to thrive in loving home environments while they await their forever families. This model gives us deep insight into each cat's unique personality and habits, ensuring they receive the personalized attention they need. For those who move to our adoption lounge, we provide a comfortable, home-like setting where they can interact with visitors until they find their perfect match.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adopting is a joyful journey, and our dedicated counselors are here to help you find the best feline companion for your lifestyle. We believe in thoughtful matchmaking, ensuring that both you and your new family member are set up for a lifetime of happiness together. By prioritizing transparency and support throughout the process, we make sure you feel confident and prepared as an adoptive parent.
Join Our Community
Whether you are ready to welcome a new friend into your home, want to become a foster parent, or are interested in attending our upcoming events, there are so many ways to get involved. We invite you to browse our adoptable cats or visit us during our monthly Caturday hours. Together, we can continue to create a safer, happier future for cats in need.
