Are 9 Lives and Paws for Life cats kept in cages?
No. Cats are kept in the homes of volunteer temporary carers and kept as normal pets until a permanent home is found. A cat may be caged for the first few days in the temporary home if there are other cats present as this helps the new cat adjust and feel safe. It will be released into the home when it wants to come out – this can be after the first 24 hours or may take up to a week. Some of the photos in our gallery show the cat in a cage, but this is because the photo was taken while the cat was at the vet for treatment, neutering or temporary boarding.
