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 DORIS!

Doris is a 2-year old domestic short hair who was one of many cats who came from a very unhealthy breeding situation. She has spent the better part of her life locked in a cage. We are forever thankful for several of our rescuers who heard about the situation and intervened. After her rescue, Doris spent some time in a foster home where she enjoyed other cats and didn't mind the cat-friendly dogs.

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

MEET VAN GOGH and PICASSO!

Van Gogh and Picasso are a pair of 3 months old brothers who excel so well at being cute, you could call it a work of art! The pair is part of a larger litter who were found abandoned in an RV by a good Samaritan, and while their other siblings have all gone on to find their furrever homes, these two adorable boys are still waiting to be chosen by a an admirer (or admirers) of their own.

Energetic, social, and playful, Van Gogh and Picasso would be an excellent addition to a home environment with lots of room to run and play, with an adopter/s who could provide lots of toys and enrichment fixtures for them to climb and explore.

Van Gogh and Picasso are very closely bonded and will be adopted as a pair. They come with all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, neutered, and a FREE vet exam.

MEET MEG and NUGGET!

These two little darlings are bonded siblings and will be adopted together. They are 4-months old. Meg is a domestic long hair black and white tuxedo and Nugget is a domestic medium hair black and white tuxedo.

This adorable duo was rescued from a drug house where there were far too many cats, not enough food and no veterinary care. Once rescued, they were placed in a foster home where they were non-stop fun and entertainment. Meg is the clown and Nugget is the quiet brother who watches Meg and follows her lead. Meg is super affectionate and loves love, Nugget is friendly and social, but doesn't care to be held - he's much too busy for that.

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

Somehow, this sweet, cuddly, good-lookin fella went the weekend without finding his perfect match!

MEET TREVOR!

Trevor is an oh so very handsome boy! He is a 1.5 year old domestic short hair brown and white tabby.

It appears that Trevor was abandoned at a nature trail. Thankfully, someone saw him and brought him to safety. He enjoyed living the good life and his foster mom thoroughly enjoyed him.

Because Trevor is very interactive, he will benefit from a guardian who can commit to playing with him and petting/brushing him every day. He is tolerant of dogs and probably adapt to a cat-savvy dog. He is extremely affectionate. Trevor has a tendency to be a door dasher and care will need to be taken that he doesn't push out a screen or escape out the door.

We think Trevor will do just fine as an only cat. He's happily accepting visitors!

Trevor has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, viral tested and microchipped.
