About Drake *9 Lives Project Rescue*
Meet Drake 🖤🤍
Drake is a beautiful tuxedo boy with a quiet strength and a heart that’s learning how to trust again.
For more than two years, a drain was his home.
Cold. Wet. Dark.
That’s where he slept… where he hid… where he learned how to survive.
But Drake’s story didn’t end there — it changed. ✨
Since coming into care, he’s been discovering something completely new:
soft blankets, full bowls, gentle voices… and kindness.
Drake is still finding his confidence, but beneath that cautious exterior is a sweet, gentle soul who just wants to feel safe and loved. Watching him take those little steps forward is something truly special. 💛
Drake is FIV positive, which simply means he’ll need to live indoors and be cared for like any other loved cat. It doesn’t define him — he can still live a long, happy life filled with love.
What Drake needs now is someone patient and understanding… someone who will let him go at his own pace and show him that the world isn’t so scary anymore.

- We will conduct a house check and drop off your new friend. We carry out house checks to ensure that there aren't any escape routes, or toxic plants etc.
- We prefer our cats to remain indoors at all times for their safety and the safety of wildlife and are only outside if they have access to a cat run our are outside with supervision.
***Please be patient - we know that you are excited to adopt a new pet, but it takes time for us to go through all the applications and make a decision.***
