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 PEDRO PSPSPSCAL!

Pedro is an all around great cat who has seen his share of difficulties. He is a five year old domestic medium hair bicolor.

Pedro was a free roaming cat found in rural king county. He was suffering dental disease and entropian (a condition where the eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye). How uncomfortable he must have been!

Since his rescue, Pedro has had the painful teeth removed and surgery to correct his entropian. He is feeling so good!! He has cleaned up nicely and is so appreciative of soft beds, nutritious food and love/affection. He is loving life like never before, but would love to move into a real home where he will be lavished upon. He is such a good boy and a perfect gentleman about using his litterbox.

Pedro has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. He is FIV+, which we now know means that he will most likely live a long and healthy life as long as he remains indoors. We are happy to discuss this if you'd like more information and have literature here at the shelter.

We are currently conducting in person adoptions on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1-5pm (walk-ins welcome, but appointments prioritized). To reserve an appointment to adopt, please complete an application by visiting www.MeowCatRescue.org/adopt and submit to [email protected]

MEET RIALTO!

We're not sure if her name comes from a beach in the PNW or a bridge in Venice, but one thing is for sure, Rialto is as stunning as both of those. Friendly and sweet, this 1 and a half year old lady would make a good fit in most adoptive homes (though she would prefer to avoid the boisterous activity of young children if possible).

As we head into November, kitten season shows no signs of slowing down. We currently have over 30 kittens in shelter, over 80 kittens in foster homes, and appointments to take new litters weekly for the next several weeks.

As such, we are running through our kitten supplies at a very fast pace, with resources being allocated almost as quickly as they come in. We once again are humbly asking for help with donations of kitten food.

Of greatest need at the moment are:

- Fancy Feast Kitten wet food
- Weruva kitten wet food (pink and yellow varieties)

MEET FURRAH FAWCETT, CAT MOSS, PURRIS HILTON, and CLAWDIA SCHIFFER!

Stunning and fabulous, this quartet of 4 month old sisters were MADE for the runways....of your home! Born to a stray mom found in Snohomish County, these gorgeous kittens love spending their time perched on the nearest window watching the world go by - almost as much as they enjoy being fawned over by their adoring human public. If you're looking for a pair of young felines that prefer acts of adoration over vigorous play, these laid back ladies may be a great fit for you!

NOTE: This group of kittens are bonded to each other and MUST be adopted out in pairs.

MEET PATCH and BOO!

Five month old bonded brothers, Patch and Boo, came to MEOW by way of one of our veterinary friends after one of their clients sought help in rehoming two of their kittens. Playful, friendly, and incredibly endearing, Patch and Boo embody everything their is to love about young kittens and will undoubtedly grow up to be equally wonderful adults. Very closely bonded, these two siblings can very frequently be found cuddling and napping together, at least when they're not busy roughhousing and rumbling with their almost boundless energy.

Boo and Patch MUST be adopted together and come with all age appropriate vaccines, deworming, neutered, microchipped, and with a FREE vet exam!

Ruby's foster mom fell in love with Ruby and made it official yesterday...they went home together! We like to call this a Foster Fortune. 💫

MEET HOLLY!

Holly is 1.5 year old female domestic short hair black cat. She's the perfect little house panther!

Holly was found as a free roaming cat, looking for a morsel of food wherever she could find one. Once rescued, she spent some time in a foster home and did well with other cats and the cat friendly dog.

We wish we know more about this lovely girl. What we do know is that she is an absolute doll. She's friendly, bright, good natured and affectionate. She's also a perfect lady about using the litterbox. We think Holly would do well in a home with another cat, but will also be happy to be the only cat who is doted on daily.

Holly has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and viral tested. She's ready to go!

Introducing Leroy & Palermo!! *** Please note that these kittens are not at the shelter. They are in a foster home, and contact information can be found at the end of this listing. These two kittens! They are as entertaining as they are cute! Leroy and Palermo are bonded and will be adopted together. Leroy is a male domestic short hair brown tabby and Palermo is a female domestic short hair white with tabby patches. Not littermates, but sshhhh....please don't tell them because they think they are. Leroy and Palermo were rescued from two different locations, 100 miles apart. They met while in foster care and become besties in about a nanosecond. They are little clowns in fur and so much fun to watch! Leroy is very vocal, while Palermo is as quiet as a mouse. Leroy is the leader and Palermo always looks to him for reassurance. Leroy is brave, valiant, outgoing and fearless. Palermo was undersocialized as a young kitten and as a result, she is still unsure of humans. When she first arrived in her foster home, she hid and cowered, but within a few weeks, her curiosity got the best of her and she began venturing out. She is now out and about and having a ball! She loves her rough and tumble wrestling with Leroy and gets along very well with the household cats and dog. When approached quietly and slowly, she does best. She may never be the lap cat that Leroy is, but only time will tell. We think she will do best in a quiet home without children. Also, she needs an experienced and cat savvy guardian who will be able to read her cues. These two beautiful kittens have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and viral tested. ***** If you are interested in these kittens, please complete an application by visiting www.MeowCatRescue.org/adopt and email to [email protected]
