MEOW Foundation

MEOW Foundation Founded in 2000, MEOW Foundation is a cat-focused registered charity and humane society with a no-kill mandate located in Calgary, Canada.

MEOW Foundation is a Calgary-based no-kill registered charity that rescues and adopts stray and abandoned cats, and provides valuable community programs.

*Please note, visits are by appointment only* We rescue and facilitate the adoption of stray and abandoned cats into new, loving permanent homes. We work hard to match each MEOW cat with the best possible home based on his or her personality, hi

story, habits and individual needs. In addition to our Rescue and Adoption program, MEOW Foundation offers a subsidized Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), Cat Food Assistance Program and Trap Neuter Return (TNR) Program. Our volunteers and staff are passionate about providing the best care to every cat and dedicated to providing the best services to our supporters. We believe that through the dedication and compassion of people across the planet, we will create a society that respects the animals with whom we share the world. Together we can Make Each One Wanted.

Meet our handsome orange kissed tabby with the pink nose - Dunfee. Though he can be a bit shy at first, his warm personality shines through once he gets to know you. His days are spent in quiet contemplation, bursts of playtime antics, resting in cozy corners and keeping an eye out for visitors. His gentle demeanor and loving nature make him a wonderful companion.

💙Ranger has been in MEOW care for 243 days and counting.

The way to his heart? Catnip! He is a charming cat, but is meant for someone who has a bit more cat experience and understands body language and petting thresholds.

Due to Ranger's time as a tough street guy, he has contracted Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Cats with FIV should be single cats in the home, but can live long happy lives with normal attentive care. Learn more about Ranger and apply to adopt him here: https://meowfoundation.com/adoptable-cats/

We’re thrilled to share an update on two of our beloved alumni, Tickler (now Bertie) and Zeecat (now Reggie)! After 405 days in care, they were adopted and have been settling into their new home perfectly.
Their adopter reports that Bertie and Reggie are both extremely happy and relaxed. They spend their days playing together, snuggling up for naps, and showing off their big personalities. It’s clear they’ve found the perfect match in each other and their new home.

We’re so grateful to their adopter for sharing this heartwarming update and allowing us to share their adorable photos and videos. Here’s to many more happy moments for Bertie and Reggie!

If you'd like to share your MEOW adoption stories, send them to us through our dm's.

Napheesa is a sweet and gentle soul, eager to thrive in a caring environment. 💙

Her journey began when kind neighbours noticed this little stray in need of help and stepped in to rescue her. Though shy at first, it didn’t take long for Napheesa to warm up. Within a few days, she was peeking out from her hidey bed, and soon after, she made her full debut, revealing her affectionate side.

Napheesa is now ready to continue her journey of love and trust in a forever home. If you’re ready to help her blossom, follow this link to learn more: https://meowfoundation.com/adopt/catalogue/S2024263/napheesa/

Happy Orange Cat Day! 😻

Did you know that orange cats have a reputation for being a little extra… everything? Extra playful, extra cuddly, and yes, a little extra mischievous! These ginger troublemakers are known for their quirky personalities and never fail to keep us on our toes. Whether they’re scaling the tallest bookshelves, knocking things off tables just for fun, or giving the best headbutts in town, orange cats know how to make life interesting.

Got an orange cat who’s the king or queen of mischief? We want to see them in action! Share your favourite orange kitty photos in the comments, and let’s celebrate these fiery furballs together! 🧡

Meet Hernando, a handsome cat ready to find his perfect forever home. 💙

After receiving some much-needed dental care, Hernando is all fixed up and ready to head to his forever home.

Having lived in a home before, Hernando knows the warmth and joy of human companionship. Though some unfortunate circumstances brought him to MEOW Foundation, he’s ready for a fresh start.

With a shy personality and possible ragdoll ancestry, Hernando would thrive best in a more mature, quiet home where he can truly blossom.

Lanceleaf is dreaming and hoping his forever home will soon appear. 🤞🏻

Lanceleaf is a wee guy who was rescued from a situation where all his housemates had upper respiratory virus. Since the virus had not been treated in a timely fashion, Lanceleaf has to deal with eyes that tend to weep a bit.

He will need someone who is ok with giving him a helping hand to gently clean his eyes with a warm compress as needed. He is a sweet and affectionate furball who loves his food. All he needs is a chance to cuddle his way into your heart. 💙

✨Meet Dash, a senior cat who’s adjusting to indoor life after spending most of his years as a stray.

This gentle soul is slowly warming up to the comforts of a home, and he’s on the lookout for a new foster with a friendly feline companion. Dash thrives in a calm, quiet environment, so a home without young children or loud pets would be ideal.

If you can offer a serene space and a feline friend for Dash, he’d be grateful for a loving foster home where he can truly settle in. 💙

Please apply to foster Dash here, and mention you saw this post: https://meowfoundation.com/volunteer-or-foster/

Dash is not currently available for adoption.

Taking care of feral cat colonies is super important! 💙

TNR or Trap, Neuter, Return is one of the many community programs MEOW participates in. Through our TNR program, we partner with individuals in our community to care for feral cats.

With the help of these caretakers, we are able to humanely trap these cats, get them vaccinated, microchipped, fixed and back to their colony. Overpopulation is an issue that MEOW constantly works to combat. 💪

By getting feral cats spayed and neutered, we are able to slow down and hopefully one day decrease the size of feral colonies in Southern Alberta.

Want to learn more or donate to our TNR program? Head over to our website to learn more. https://meowfoundation.com/feral-cats/

Grey Poupon is on the lookout for a foster home! 👀

He hasn't been getting along well with the other cats at the Adoption Centre and would love to have a foster home while he waits for his forever family to come along.

✨If you have space in your home to take on this sweet guy temporarily, please apply through this link and mention you saw Grey Poupon on our socials: https://meowfoundation.com/volunteer-or-foster/

Lewis and his buddy Clark could be just the cats you're looking for. ✨

Initially a bit timid, Lewis is easily coaxed out for pets and cuddles, especially when he sees Clark getting all the attention. Lewis would do best in a mature home with older children or adults, and he's the kind of cat who really needs a feline friend in his new home.

So, if you're looking to grow your cat family, put Lewis and Clark on your list. To learn more about adopting this duo, follow this link: https://meowfoundation.com/adopt/catalogue/S2024236/clark/

✨Meet Harissa, our charming 6-year-old feline with a playful spirit and a big personality.

This mini panther loves being the center of attention and is eager to be the star of your world. Though she may not be a big cuddler, Harissa shows her affection with sweet headbutts and gentle rubs. She’s a toy enthusiast and can often be found carrying her favourite playthings around the house.

New Foster Needed! Meet Bojangles (Bo)💙

This cat has a big personality. He loves pets—when he's in the mood—and will nudge you for attention, flopping over for tummy rubs. Other times, he might shy away, but if he initiates contact, he purrs like he's discovering the joys of affection for the first time.

Not fond of being picked up, Bo often goes stiff like a bag of sticks but tolerates it, making it easier to move him around. He’s eager for feline friends but can get a bit too rough during play. He quickly backs off when corrected, though he doesn’t quite understand the fuss.

His intelligence is impressive. Bo figured out door handles quickly, leading to child locks on his room. To engage his sharp mind, he gets his meals in toys or puzzles. Always on the lookout for extra treats, he loves sneaking food, even attempting to snag a slice of pizza.

This clever and curious cat brings joy and intrigue to every moment, and he’s looking for a forever home that appreciates his unique blend of curiosity and affection.

✨ If you can offer Bo a new foster home, apply here and mention you saw this post: https://meowfoundation.com/volunteer-or-foster/
