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 ADA, EMILIA, and LEON!

This adorable trio is pretty much irresistable. Each one of them is as cute as the next. They are 3-month old siblings. They are;

Ada - female domestic short hair black
Emilia - female domestic short hair blue
Leon - male domestic short hair black & white bicolor

They and their mama were not being properly cared for and put outside to fend for themselves. Neighbors started feeding them but weren't able to do so long term. A kind rescuer stepped in and brought everyone to safety.

Everyone is playful, affectionate, friendly, curious and adventurous. Fun, fun, fun!
They will each need to be adopted with either a littermate, another kitten, or into a home where another young, playful feline lives.

All of these kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped.

MEET PEPE and THERON!

Tabby twins! Cuteness galore! Pepe and Theron are bonded brothers who will be adopted together. They are 4-month old brown tabbies.

Pepe and Theron were found with in an industrial yard. We are so thankful that someone took notice and helped them out. They grew into strong, healthy kittens in a foster home. Their foster mom tells us:

"Pepe loves to be held, will fall asleep in your hands or lap and will go on his back to be held. He was the runt of the litter, so you must watch and make sure his brother does not try and steal his food. He is a slow eater.

Theron loves to be near people. He was the largest of the litter, and a fast eater. He loves to hang out with people."

They got along great with the foster's cats and also did well with the cat-friendly dog (a leonberger).

Both boys have been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped. Theron has a mild heart murmur. He was examined by a cardiologist. After adoption, it is recommended that an appointment be made with your family veterinarian within 3-4 weeks to discuss a monitoring plan.

MEET SAVANNAH!

Savannah is a one-year old female domestic short hair blue and white bicolor. She's very pretty!

This sweet girl was rescued after finding her way into someone's crawl space. The occupants could hear meowing, but didn't know how to get her out. They called Roto-Rooter, and some kind men came over and got her out - hooray!
Savannah was very hungry and thirsty, but otherwise healthy.

Savannah has been with us for several weeks and is doing fantastic. She loves people, toys, food, etc., but she is not a fan of other cats. For this reason, we know that Savannah will do best in a home as an only cat, no young children. Dogs are an unknown.

Savannah has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped. She is ready to go and happily accepting visitors!

MEET SOBEE!

*** Please note that this sweet boy isn't at the shelter, but in a foster home. Contact information is at the end of this listing. ***

Sobee is an absolute delight! He is an 8-year old domestic short hair brown tabby. (Be sure to watch the videos attached).

Sobee was originally adopted as a young adult. After a few years, the family had a child and he avoided her. Several years later, two young cats were introduced to the home. More changes and added stress were causing anxiety in Sobee and he began urinating inappropriately. He was subsequently returned.

Sobee has been living in a foster home and is doing wonderfully. After arriving in the home, he hid for several weeks. Then one day - he decided that he was safe and began displaying his fun, loving, spirited self! His foster parents call him, a "Hunk of Love". He is super talkative, very food motivated and "insanely sweet and affectionate". Also, he loves to be brushed.

We think Sobee will do best in a quiet home, most likely as an only pet. What he really wants is to have a lap to lay on so he can talk to you all day, and watch Netflix with you at night.

Sobee has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and viral tested.

If you have questions about, or are interested in meeting Sobee, please fill out an Adoption Application by visiting www.MeowCatRescue.org/adopt and email to [email protected]

MEET AARON!

Aaron - or "Ay-Aron" as we call him to avoid confusion with a staff member of similar name -is a debonair, 3 year old male who came to us as a rescued stray out of Snohomish county. Boasting a confident personality to compliment his striking features, Aaron would do best in a home as the only pet (and no smaller children) where he can be provided with lots of engagement and attention as he can be a very active fella. When not playfully hunting his toys, Aaron loves to receive lots of human attention (actually, he demands it).

Aaron has been spayed, vaccinated dewormed, microchipped and viral tested. He is available for immediate adoption through MEOW Cat Rescue.

MEET SHENZI and GOMEZ!

Shenzi and Gomez (both about 5 months old) are just two of many cats who were rescued from a hoarding situation out of Snohomish County. They were both kept in small room with dozens of other cats and life was very stressful. Despite their challenging beginnings, these felines have shown to be resilient, friendly, and playful, and have blossomed in one of our free roaming rooms at the shelter.

While Shenzi and Gomez are not a bonded pair and do not need to be adopted together, due to their age and enjoyment of other cats, we feel strongly that they should be adopted into a home with another young, engaging feline.

Shenzi and Gomez, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and viral tested. He's residing in The Cottage at the shelter and happily accepting visitors.
