Black Beard.

A resilient kitten who survived serious illness and grew into a playful resident.

My name is Black Beard the staff at Nine Lives tells me I’m a strong little guy. When I was just about a month-old I caught the Feline Distemper Virus. A virus that almost took my life. I was on several different medications, and I was just so weak I couldn’t manage to eat on my own so Nine Lives staff began syringe feeding and frequently giving fluids so they could keep my nutrition up. After about a month of consistent attention I pulled through! Nine Lives staff all became so attached from the life saving measure they provided me and the just couldn’t put me up for adoption. I fought my way into their hearts and became a member of the Nine Lives family!

Fun Fact about me! I LOVE to play! I will fight for your attention and play so hard with all of the other cats. You would think that I would get all tuckered out from playing so hard, but I can play ALL DAY and not lay down to sleep until it is my bedtime!
