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 BINX!

Binx is a sleek and shiny house panther! He is a 1-year old domestic short hair black male.

This jaunty boy showed up at someone's house and never left. The person feeding him knew that he deserved a much better life and reached out for help. While Binx waited for availability at the shelter, he hung out with the person feeding him.

Binx is playful, friendly, affectionate and loves to spend his time watching the world from his window perch. He is good with children, friendly with strangers, but isn't fond of other cats.

Binx has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and viral tested. He's ready to go!!

MEET THE GOODIE LITTER!

Introducing the Goodie litter!

All of these kittens are just as sweet as they look - downright delicious! They are 4 months old. Each kitten will need to be adopted with a littermate.

Marshmallow - female domestic short hair white with black
Snickers - male domestic short hair black and white bicolor
S'more - male domestic short hair black and white tux
Truffle - male domestic short hair black

These darling kittens were noticed living and playing in the street. Certainly not safe! A concerned couple brought them to is and they went to a foster home where they have grown into bouncy, confident, fun-loving kittens. They are fun, fun, fun!

Snickers has a moderate overbite and will need to seen by a vet when his adult teeth come in (about 7 months old). There is concern that his mouth could get overcrowded with teeth and dig into his tender gums. He may need to have a few teeth removed, but we will know more when the time comes.

All kittens have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped.

We'd like to introduce to Mumu
*** (Mumu is not at the shelter, but in a foster home. Contact information is at the end of this listing.)

Mumu is a 3-year old male domestic short hair orange/red tabby with white mittens. He's a robust and solid boy who is impossible not to love.

Mumu was cruelly dumped in a parking lot where a managed feral colony existed. Can you imagine? A rescuer heard about him and once she met him it was clear that he did not belong there. The rescuer brought him home and showered him with love.

Mumu is an absolute lovebug, who has some separation anxiety. He is afraid of being abandoned again and has a tendency to be clingy. He does not like to be alone and will sometimes grab your ankles when you try to leave the room.

Adopting a needy cat means embracing lots of affection. Settling Mumu into a new home should include establishing routines, enriching his environment, using patience and positive enforcement to build security and reduce neediness.

Mumu's foster mom explains:

"Mumu is a lovebug and hates to be alone. He will drape himself across my chest with his head on my shoulder and will fall fast asleep, purring and making tiny little happy sighing sounds. He just wants to be held, loved and fed. I call him velcro kitty because I often wear him like a sash. He's so adorable. At first, it seems like he is being aggressive when he grabs your leg, but it is not anger, but fear."

Mumu isn't fond of other cats, so will need to be an only cat. His new person/people will need to be someone who is either retired or works from home. Also, he would do best in a home without children. He just wants to be "the only one".

When first rescued, this boy was suffering from dental disease, and has since had 8 extractions and is feeling so much better! Also, he had entropian eyes (eyelid turns inward causing eyelashes to rub against the eye), which was surgically repaired by an animal opthalmologist. Now his eyes feel so much better as well! Mumu was diagnosed with an innocent heart murmur which requires no treatment.

Mumu has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and viral tested. He's ready to begin living his best life!
