SYNOPSIS

Nine Lives is the heartwarming story of one free-spirited cat and all of the humans who love her. Despite a perilous start in life as a feral stray surviving in the Utah winter, this cat found her way to a neighborhood in Montecito, California. Alice (as she was originally named) began wandering into neighbors’ homes and many fell in love with her and each gave her a unique name like Snowpea, Daisy, and Butterscotch Swirl. Through interviews and actual cell phone footage and photos captured by the interviewees, Nine Lives illustrates how this cat weaves through their lives and teaches profound lessons about love, resilience, and the transformative power of unexpected connections.
