Attention

Sadly, Ten Lives Club is experiencing a severe financial crisis and cannot accept any surrendered cats into the program until further notice. Currently there are some 300 cats at our clubhouse and another 125 cats and kittens in foster homes, all of whom rely on donations, fundraisers, and adoption fees to be fed, cleaned up after, and provided with medical care on a regular basis. We desperately need the community's help to continue doing the work of caring for the homeless and unwanted cats and kittens in WNY.

Donations can be mailed to:

Ten Lives Club
P.O. Box 253
North Boston, NY 14110

Please specify that your donation is for the "Give 'em Ten So They Can Say When To Open The Doors Again" Campaign

Thank you!

TLC Cat of the Month    BINDU   Come out and meet this lovable 3-year-old tuxedo male. He's laid back and low key, and would do best in a quiet home as an only cat or with nonaggressive cats.

Cleaners needed at the clubhouse

We have fifteen various rooms (the majority of which house our rescued cats) at the shelter that need to be tended to and cleaned every single day. No matter the day, holiday, or the weather conditions the shelter has to be cleaned and our cats taken care of. If you can spare an hour or two a week or a few times a month, we would love the help.

Volunteers need to be 18+. Children 10 and over with an adult are also welcome. Cleaning involves scooping litter boxes, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, washes dishes and/or litter pans, and doing laundry.

Please fill out the volunteer form or stop by the shelter if you are interested in helping.

Peace of mind for the cats!

Cameras andmonitors areproviding 24 hours protection for our shelter. We want to prevent any future break-ins and most importantly protect our cats and kittens from any harm! We also hope to deter irresponsible people from leaving cats and kittens in taped boxes in our parking lot!

Ten Lives Club began in January 2001 with a dream to be able to save as many cats as possible. In December 2004, TLC reached a huge milestone in that they adopted out their 2000th cat! That means 2,000 cats were saved and kept alive and adopted into new homes thanks to Ten Lives Club. In 2006, we had 736 adoptions. We also provided financial assistance to six pet owners so that they could keep their pet in their home. Ten Lives also took in cats from two local non-profit rescue groups, assisted the SPCA and City Shelter with surrendered cats, took in cats from: Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, W. Virginia, Ohio, and outside WNY shelters.
