A Shared Purrsonal Passion

What do Puss in Boots and Morris the 9Lives® Cat have in common, you ask? (Other than being orange, famous and incredibly charming, that is.)

Despite their present-day fame, both Puss and Morris know firsthand what it′s like to be without a good home. They also know how satisfying it is to find the right companions and ultimately triumph.

This sweepstakes is a way of sharing success, celebrating cat adoption and helping fellow felines enjoy The Good Life.
