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 and Waifs, now commonly called MEOW Cat Rescue & Adoption, a non-profit organization with a no-holds-barred no-kill philosophy. It’s still all about the animals. Today


Since our beginning in 1997, MEOW has placed approximately 1000 animals into permanent homes annually. Donations from interested individuals, organizations and businesses provide financial support for this work. Adoption fees from $65 to $125 also help defray the cost of care for the animals. 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, an 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 homeless 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 the care of pets on such subjects as providing a rich environment for indoor-only cats, the benefits of spaying/neutering and microchipping, 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 in which we truly believe, the motto we adopted at our inception, ”all nine lives are precious”.

Introducing Wolverine! He is just unbelievable: laid back, gentle, friendly and the most handsome guy in town!

This sweet guy is about 7 years and ended up at MEOW after, sadly, his owner was no longer able to care for Wolverine or himself. He lived his life free feeding on kibble so he's a little chonky! But nothing that his new diet and an active household can't fix.

This even-tempered gentleman loves to lounge around and soak up all your love and cuddles. We are unsure of how he would do with other pets but we do know he loves people. Expect him to respond with his adorable chirps and meows when you talk to him. This is a chatty tabby!

Wolverine isn't at the shelter, but if you'd like to meet him, his foster will happily bring him in for a meet and greet! But...be prepared to fall in love! If you have questions, please call us at 425-822-6369 or email us at [email protected]

Meet this ridiculously cute sister/brother pair: MAURA & SALEM!

They are 7-months old. Maura is a female domestic short hair brown tabby and Salem is a male domestic short hair black (so shiny!).

They may be siblings but these two give you the best of both worlds.
Salem and Maura love meeting new people and making friends, and they LOVE to jump in your lap. We'd say they're both pretty smart but.... Maura takes the cake! Her observant attitude may come off like she's calm but she's just waiting for the perfect moment to pounce on her brother and cause a little fun! Both are as darling as can be in every way!

Between the two of them, you are in for a treat!

Watch them as they fold into each other's bodies and cuddle. You've never witnessed a bond like the one between these two: Bonnie and Clyde has nothing on them! If it weren't for their different coats, you could never tell who's arm or tails belongs to who. Watching the love these two have for each other will make every day a little brighter :)

These siblings have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and viral tested. They are ready to go home!
