About us
Our History
In the early 1990s, a small group of animal-loving friends made a commitment to create a better life for homeless animals. With little more than determination, they started Mercer Island Eastside Orphans & Waifs, now commonly called MEOW Cat Rescue & Adoption, a non-profit organization with a no- holds-barred no-kill philosophy. MEOW is still staffed almost entirely by volunteers. It’s still all about the animals.
Today
MEOW places approximately 1000 animals into permanent homes each year. Adoption fees from $65 to $100 help defray the cost of care for the animals. Donations from interested individuals, organizations and business provide additional financial support. Our application process ensures that every adopted animal is placed in an environment where there is appropriate space, human contact, and a commitment to safeguard and care for the animal for its entire lifetime. Our standards are high. The welfare of the animals is paramount in the placement process.
Cats and kittens come from various sources and situations: orphans found under a deck, a stray or abandoned cat crying at the door, someone has developed allergies or is moving to a place where the cats are not welcome. Some come from the rescue community, finding tame cats and kittens feeding with feral colonies. Newborn or senior, healthy, ill or injured, all are valued at MEOW . Incoming cats and kittens are examined for general health, illness, injury, parasites and tested for feline viral diseases and provided appropriate medical care. Daily care of cats and kittens is done both in the shelter and in the foster homes of volunteers, sometimes involving bottle-feeding orphans, often requiring intensive medical care of ill animals. MEOW provides a safe haven and socialization as well as proper nutrition and a clean environment while the animals await adoptive homes. Our volunteers speak with the public, interview prospective adopters, and provide education concerning... show more the care of pets on such subjects as spaying/neutering, introducing a new pet into the family, addressing behavioral issues, proper daily care and well-cat/kitten care.
Each year MEOW is faced with the impossible and each and every day we recommit ourselves to something we truly believe in, the motto we adopted at our inception,”all nine lives are precious”.

Kaiti C. asked:Does anyone know where I can find a vet to help me out? We went and picked up a kitten from a lady who couldn't keep her because she allergic, the lady found her in the woods. We've had her 3 days and looking at her, her left eye has some type of infection. I don't want to give her up, she love my family and I but I want to get this taken care of ASAP.Peggy M. replied:meow cat rescue care for rescued pets, you can keep her but get inexpensive help from them, I got both my rescues shot and fixed free from them and over 3 yrs alter they are stil with me and spoiled, call them, http://www.meowcatrescue.org/

Mandy N. asked:This is not a Lost post but a question. I do not qualify for care credit and I have a 14yr old cat that is ill. My son, who is autistic, and this cat are best friends and I will do whatever it takes to make sure he gets better. I have already had 2 vet visits. 1 for check up and flea treatment and second for 2 enemas because he was constipated. $500 later and he still is having bathroom problems. He eats and drinks and purrs but doesn't want to walk around and it's breaking our hearts. Does anyone know a vet that will do payments or an organization that can help? I'm supposed to do blood work next but don't know where the $185 is going to come from.Bonne V. replied:On www.meowcatrescue.org, click in Resources for a list of organizations which may offer some financial assistance. Each one probably has its own requirements but worth looking at.

Amy L. asked:Admins - Thanks for the add... I am with A Voice for the Paws and we recieved a call today from a man in Smokey Point that found a cardboard box in from of his apartment building with 5 kittens inside. They appear to be about 6-8 weeks old (best guess) and he is looking for a rescue that has room to take them. Does anyone know of anyone that is able to help? Transport could most likely be arranged. If this post is not allowed here my apologies and please feel free to remove. Thank youIrene A. replied:Cheri Carlson Jennifer O'Ryan Penny Stevens Sheila Jensen: I recommended Purrfect Pals and MEOW..www.meowcatrescue.org
