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 MARY!

Mary is a beautiful 2-year old domestic short hair calico. She is every bit as sweet as she is lovely.

Mary was found under a woodshed. She was very thin and trying to care for her babies. She went to a foster home where she was such a good mommy cat. Her kittens are weaned and now Mary is ready to begin living her best life. She is very much a people cat, and loves affection, petting, brushing and sitting in laps. She will most likely do fine with another cat with very slow and gradual introductions. Dogs are an unknown.

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

MEET FIONA!

Fiona is a 4.5 month old domestic long hair blue female. She's just adorable with her perpetual bed head! :)

Fiona is one of a large group of cats and kittens who were abandoned on the side of I-5 in cages. Thankfully, a wildlife rescuer discovered them and brought them all to safety. We are so happy that Fiona is now safe and sound with us.

Since her rescue, Fiona has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and viral tested.

We don't know a lot about this cute little gal but she is very friendly and very amenable to pets and being held. We wish we know more about her past, but do know that it wasn't great. Fiona does like other cats and MUST be adopted into a home with another young feline to play and socialize with.

MEET EROS!

Eros is one of a large group of cats and kittens who were abandoned on the side of I-5 in cages. Thankfully, a wildlife rescuer discovered them and brought them all to safety. We are so happy that Eros is now safe and sound with us.

Since his rescue, Eros has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and viral tested.

We don't know a lot about this cute little fellow, but he certainly is friendly and amenable to pets and being held. We wish we know more about his past, but do know that it wasn't great. Eros does like other cats and MUST be adopted into a home with another young feline to play and socialize with.

MEET PERRY!

Perry is a six-month old domestic short hair black. He has a very plush coat and one white toe!

Perry is one of a large group of cats and kittens who were abandoned on the side of I-5 in cages. Pretty unbelievable. Thankfully, a wildlife rescuer discovered them and brought them all to safety. We are so happy that Perry is one of them who is safe and sound with us.

Since his rescue, Perry has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and viral tested.

We don't know a lot about this cute little fellow, but he certainly is friendly and amenable to pets and being held. We wish we know more about his past, but do know that it wasn't great. Perry does like other cats and would probably be happy if he had another furry friend to love. He's a perfect gentleman about using the litterbox.

Oh baby!! This has been an unusual year in that kitten season didn't really end. We're seeing many moms/kittens and orphaned kittens ... already! Just yesterday, we took in 13 cats and kittens.

We sent out the last of one of our favorite foods yesterday, and are asking for help in replenishing our cupboard. The foods we need the most are:

Weruva Chicken Formula Au Jus (yellow label)
Weruva Chicken Breast Formula (pink label)

Both of these items are on our Amazon wishlist. Thank you from the bottom of lots of full and happy tummies.

Today is World Spay Day! Cats like this chubby cheeked boy, need our attention.

Although our most visible activity is the rescue and adoption of pets, one of our underlying tenets is the continued focus and support of spay/neuter surgeries and promotion in our community. For the past 15 years, we have offered vouchers for free spay/neuter surgeries at several clinics to people who indicate a need for such help. In 2024 we provided surgeries for 576 animals owned by our community members. Additionally, MEOW s has a program called Independent Rescuer Support (IRS) where we provide spay/neuter surgery support to several wonderful individuals who are working to manage feral colonies locally.

Our average cost of one feline spay/neuter surgery is $82. Please consider joining us to fight the overpopulation crisis and donate one surgery to support World Spay Day.

Wait for it! Moonshadow is a playing machine when it comes to spring toys!! All day long we bat toys back and forth under the door of her suite. Let's see if we can't find her a home where she can spread out and play heartily.

Lilia, getting in a final biscuit making before her trip home (we sent the snuggly bed home with her ♡).

This is Ace! As you can see, he thoroughly enjoys a hearty face/cheek massage. 😊 He's available for adoption, and is sure to be a most excellent companion for some lucky human(s).
