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 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.

It's that time of year when we'd like to remind you that free roaming cats and kittens are looking for a warm dry place. Car engines are a popular choice and this happens more often than you might think.

It's a good idea to check under your car's hood before starting your engine, tapping the hood, honking the horn, checking tires and looking in the engine area.

If you do see a cat or kitten, you can always call us for guidance. We've had this happen right in our parking lot.

Thank you for checking.

This weekend, MEOW Cat Rescue crossed the 800 adoption threshold for the first time since 2015 (and only the second time in 15 years)!

Cute kittens - Marshmallow and Truffle - got to be a part of the milestone, taking us to 804 adoptions for the year!

A big thank you to all of our volunteers, staff, and community supporters who continue to back the work that we do and inspire us to always aim higher!
