Mewtopia loves getting updates on our adopted cat "alumni" 😸

Bunny was adopted in 2024 as Diamond. “Bunny is a curious kitty who loves getting into trouble. She absolutely loves playing with her toys, specifically her laser and fish on a string. Sometimes when I’m busy studying, she will drag her toys upstairs and demand playtime. She is also a big snuggle bug who loves a good nap. She’s a very vocal kitty and will let me know when she wants something.”

***Cat Socialization Workshops***

Would you like to be a Socialization volunteer at Mewtopia? 😸 Are you a calm, patient person? Training will happen in small groups, first come first served! To sign up for this weekend’s session ***Sat 1/25 @ 3pm*** reply to this message with the keyword “SOCIAL”. (Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent.)

Cat socialization is the process of introducing a cat to people, other animals, and their environment. It helps cats learn how to interact with others and feel comfortable in different situations. It makes our cats more adoptable and sets them up for success for the rest of their lives!

Did you know that Mewtopia is run 100% by volunteers, donations, and adoption fees? No one receives a paycheck — we do not receive government funding like MAS does.

We are so thankful for our wonderful volunteers and those who donate to support our cats and our mission! To join our ranks, visit mewtopiacatrescue.org!

Mr. Fluff a.k.a Fluffybutt is very friendly and handsome. He has a lot of fluff but there is a large, solid cat under all that hair! 🤣

Mewtopia loves getting updates on our adopted cat "alumni" 😸

Sadie was adopted last fall! “I wanted you to know how much I love Sadie! She has been the best cat, she follows me and loves to sit in my lap! I had to put my elderly sick dog down 2 weeks ago and she knew when she came into my house my Alu was sick. They accepted each other quickly. Sadie is helping my heart heal, I am so very grateful for this kitty! We really are a perfect match! 😻”

Lola, Buffy, and Cece are lovely calicos/torbies! These gals are roommates at Mewtopia and have gotten comfortable with the other cats in their room. Still, they’d each do best as an only pet, in households without children. They enjoy being petted on their neck/head, and then when they’ve had their fill their body language will tell you “enough, thanks!” They’re looking for observant owners they won’t need to swat 🤣 To learn more about cat body language, visit https://www.fearfreehappyhomes.com/kit/cats-101/

Come visit these photogenic gals at Mewtopia this week! Our new hours are Tues 3-5, Thurs 12-2, Sat 12-3pm

Mewtopia loves getting updates on our adopted cat "alumni" 😸 This is a special “shy cat” edition! The moral of the story? Don’t shy away from adopting shy cats!

“I picked a shy cat from Mewtopia. She’s a treat! Pepper (Wendy at Mewtopia) was in the shy cat room and sucked me in. She stayed in my bedroom a couple of weeks. She hid under the bed and under my bed covers for a bit, but I quickly learned she’s motivated by treats. So, it took a little time, but always with forward progress.” Pepper’s mom says it took about 2 months, but Pepper became comfortable and social. Then, “I noticed within a couple of months that she might need a buddy. About eight months in, I adopted Ezzy (Esmeralda) from Mewtopia. They are good sisters.” 💕

If you adopt a shy cat, Mewtopia’s adoption counselors can help you create a transition plan. The best transition rooms are ones without beds or sofas or other places for them to “permanently” hide. Just add a cave-style cat bed or a box as safe spaces! The timeline will be different for each cat, but treats, toys, patience and consistency are your keys to success!

Shy Cat Spotlight 🔆🔦💡

Meet Scarlett! This lovely tortie gal is soooooo close to being a confident, friendly cat. She just needs a quiet home with a patient human. Scarlett LOVES to chase string toys, and if you hold your hand near her she will sniff your fingers. For shy cats, this is a huge first step! The next thing you know they’ll rub their face against your hand asking to be petted 💕

Meet Paris!!! He’s looking for just the right match. Is Paris the right cat for you? Let’s see: Do you have a quiet home without other pets (or possibly one other laid-back cat)? Are you calm and patient? Paris spent several frightened months at Mewtopia and is finally becoming comfortable with his surroundings and our volunteers 💕 He now likes to be petted gently. With time and patience, we have no doubt he will continue the progress he’s made, as long as he has the right environment.

Paris is finally showing us his real personality!!!! Our volunteers’ gentleness and patience during Paris’ socialization training is paying off! If you would like to be a socialization volunteer at Mewtopia Cat Rescue (1010 S. Yates, Memphis TN), reply to this post, or message / email us along with the keyword SOCIALIZE. Visit mewtopiacatrescue.org for more info. We’ll be training small groups starting Sat, January 25th! (You must be over 18 or bring an adult.)

The best sound on earth: a purring cat 🐈‍⬛ Hayes purrs to tell you he’s happy! He likes to sit with you and be petted. He’s a pretty chill guy! Hayes is about 10 years old, is declawed on his front paws, and came to stay with us at Mewtopia because his human sister was allergic. He must be on a strict diet of only urinary formula cat food. We have no doubt he will make someone very happy once they take him into their home!

There's nothing better than cat headbumps! Chile and Scarlett are BFFs <3

Chile (tabby) and Scarlett (tortie) are so cuuuute together!!! Scarlett came to Mewtopia as a kitten but never got adopted because she was so timid and scared. Last year, Chile moved into the same room as Scarlett, and she has brought Scarlett out of her shell!!! Chile is friendly and affectionate, and purrs loudly (in case you can’t hear it in the video 💕) and Scarlett wants to be just like her! These lovely gals are young cats (Scarlett just turned 3, and Chile is 2.5 years old) and we know they would make WONDERFUL companions for someone… is it YOU? 🥰 Scarlett and Chile would love if you’d visit and spend quiet time with them. Mewtopia is open Tu-Th-Sa 12-2pm or by appointment.
