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”.

MEET LILY and RENA!

These two girls are bonded 4-month old sisters who will be adopted together. Lily is a domestic short hair blue and cream tabby and Rena is a domestic short hair dilute torbie. They are both lovely kittens.

Lily and Rena were born on the property of an elderly couple who had cats breeding out of control. These girls and several others were rescued and have been living in foster care.

Having had a lack of socialization before their rescue, Lily and Rena present shy and tentative. They will need a person who is patient, loving and gentle. We know they will do better in a home setting as the shelter can be chaotic at times. Once they are settled into a small space (spare room or office), they can begin to explore the sounds, smells and vibrations of their new home. These kittens have plenty of love to offer and will surely be loyal companions.

Lily and Rena have been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped.

MEET VALERIE!

Valerie is a regal 1.5 year old domestic short hair tuxedo. She's quite a silly girl.

This sweet girl and her two kittens were abandoned. We were happy to be able to help and placed them in a loving foster home. They grew and thrived in every way in foster care.

Valerie is now ready to leave the nest. She's been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped. We think Valerie will do well in a home by herself or with another young, friendly cat as long as introductions are slow and gradual.

MEET MILES, ARTIE, and BERNARD!

Oh for cute!! These three little kittens are 3-month old brothers and could not be cuter! They are:

Artie - domestic short hair brown tabby with white
Bernard - domestic short hair brown tabby with white
Miles - domestic short hair black and white tuxedo

These bouncing kittens are rarin' to go! They love to play, jump, skidaddle and every other kitten activity that you can think of. Because they are just 3 months old, each of them need to be adopted with a littermate or into a home where another young, playful cat/kitten lives. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all three could be adopted together?

Artie, Bernard and Miles have all been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped.

MEET MATRIX!

Eight month old Matrix and his siblings were found living behind a Toyota dealership. They were being fed, but needed safety and medical care. Once rescued, they went to a foster home where they were adored and blossomed in every way. Previously adopted, Matrix was returned after the resident cat in the home he was adopted to unfortunately did not accept him and bullied him.

Matrix would be happy to be adopted out with another feline or to a home with another playful young feline.

Matrix has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and viral tested.

MEET PEDDLE!

Peddle is a darling girl who loves to be loved almost as much as she likes to play. She is a 6-month old female domestic short hair blue and white. As pretty as a picture!

Peddle is from a home where there were too many cats. She was rescued and spent some time in a foster home were she absolutely soaked up the love and nutrition that were offered. She will need to be adopted with another kitten/cat or adopted into a home where a young, friendly cat resides..

Peddle has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and viral tested. She's hanging out in The Cottage at the shelter and having a ball! She's happily accepting visitors.
