How You Can Help

At Tenth Life, we work hard to care for the cats who need us.  However, we CAN'T do it alone.  Please look below to find the ways you can help us do this important work.  Whether it is donating items on our wishlist, volunteering, hosting a Tenth Life fundraiser, or donating money to the cause, your generosity is appreciated!

Tenth Life heard about Bliss just in time. Her owner was planning to dump her out along with her eight week old kittens. We intervened and took her and her kittens. Bliss was adopted and some of her kittens were placed as well. Iggy, one of her male kittens is an adult now and is still waiting for his happy ending.
