AniMeals No-Kill Adoption Ctr and Animal Food Bank

AniMeals No-Kill Adoption Ctr and Animal Food Bank AniMeals is Missoula County's only brick-and-mortar feline-centric shelter and pet food bank for companion animals and community cats.
(487)

We offer limited services for dogs through the food bank and medical fund. We are powered by community support! AniMeals is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization supported entirely by the generous donations of animal lovers everywhere. We have a strong network of volunteers that do food deliveries, daily chores, and office work this is the backbone of our organization. Without the dedication of these

wonderful people, AniMeals would not be able to operate. It is people like you who make it all possible. We consider ourselves to be a very successful organization. In 2021 we took in 330 cats and adopted out 282. Of that 330, 158 came from shelters and Veterinarians. We measure our success by how many lives we impact, animal and human lives. We can’t put a number on this measure of success; however, it is our mission to rescue, feed, and heal as many animals as possible. We ask ourselves with every cat that comes through the door, “How can we improve their quality of life?” Our goal is to improve the quality of life for all cats that come into our care. Many of them have had difficult, painful pasts and it is our mission to ease their suffering by providing a haven for them to heal. We have improved the quality of life for countless animals in our 18 years of operation and because of that, we consider ourselves to be a very successful organization. We take in the most at risk, primarily strays, the old, neonatal kittens born to community cats, very sick and injured from other shelters and Veterinarians. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. We are a haven for those that have run out of options. Upon arrival, they receive a “Nose to Toes Health Care Exam,” which includes: a routine checkup, spay or neuter, dentals, and vaccinations. Last, but not least a microchip so that if they ever get lost they will always find their way back home. We have been able to successfully remove barriers to adoptions for old and chronic medical conditions. The creation of our Gaia’s Landing program was created five years ago. AniMeals Pet Food Bank helps supplement food for other shelters and rescues, so those resources can be used to Spay & Neuter and provide medical care. Additionally, we feed the pets of the homebound disabled, families in crisis, community cat colonies, the homeless with pets, and animals living on the streets. TOGETHER “WE RESCUE” “WE FEED” “WE HEAL”
WE ARE THEIR VOICE

Wishlist Wednesday is here! Will you help us stock up on kitten-safe litter for our little ones in foster and shelter? 😸💜

We are at the height of kitten season, and with lots of tiny tigers zooming around our shelter and in their foster homes, comes a need for lots of kitten safe litter. We use corn-based litter or chicken feed crumbles as an alternative to clumping litter for any kittens are still learning the ways of the almighty box as it is safe and edible. Don't worry - they will be pros soon!

Please drop off or ship donations to 1700 Rankin Street, Missoula, MT 59808, or use our wish list linked below to send items directly to our door. We also encourage folks to shop at their favorite local pet supply, grocery, and farm-supply stores. Many of these items may at a lower price in stores.

Introducing Rin 🧡🐾

This sweet and mellow tortie is ready to find her person. Rin, a 2-year-old female, was left outside our building back in April. After her vet visit at Animal Blessings Pet Hospital, it was confirmed she was very pregnant, so we put her into foster care as quickly as possible, where she had her kittens in the comfort of a loving home. Thank you to her foster!

Rin is now ready to live her young adult life in her forever home. If you're looking for a gentle, cuddly girl, she could be the one for you! Rin is still adjusting to the shelter, but we think with time, she will become a very curious and outgoing kitty. Her favorite things include crunchy treats, cat nip, and most of all, some really good ear scratches!

Stop by the shelter between 12 PM and 6 PM, Friday through Wednesday, to meet this gorgeous girl and see if she's the one for you! Apply to adopt at animeals.com/adopt 😸

An Update on Woody's Critical Care! 🪵🖤🐾

In case you missed our August E-Newsletter, Woody was our featured feline to share his critical care case. Little 7-week-old Woody was brought to AniMeals in late July by a community member who found the tiny kitten lethargic and lying next to his vehicle in the heat of the day.

Upon quick examination at the shelter, staff found a wood chip lodged in the kitten’s palate, which was also covered in ulcers. ICU staff immediately took Woody to the Pet Emergency Center for care. While in the waiting room, Woody went into respiratory distress. PEC staff immediately removed the woodchip and stabilized him with a plethora of medications. An AniMeals staff member took Woody home for around-the-clock care and frequent feeding.

Unfortunately, Woody went back into respiratory distress after an hour and a half at home and had to stay at PEC overnight for oxygen. He was transferred to Animal Blessings Pet Hospital the next day for radiographs to rule out aspiration pneumonia and received subcutaneous fluids and antibiotics to knock back a temperature of 103.

Thankfully, Wood is doing much better now and is in a foster home to gain a little bit of love weight in preparation for his neuter. We promise life will be cush from here on out, little Woody! We are working closely with his foster to ensure he is eating well and feeling his best.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to help us cover the cost of Woody's emergency vet visits and surgery. You have raised over $1,000 for Woody's wellbeing and comfort. We rescue, feed, and heal, together.

If you would like to help us prepare for cats and kittens like Woody who need immediate emergency care, please consider donating to AniMeals so we can continue the feline-saving work we do. Donate securely at https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E358979&id=17 Thank you!

Do you recognize this kitty? 😸

This long haired brown tabby is estimated to be about 4-6 years old. She was brought to us after being found as a stray in the Franklin to the Fort neighborhood, near S 14th Street W and Grant Street. She was not microchipped.

AniMeals holds all stray cats for 7 days in the event an owner reclaims the cat. Possible owners must provide proof of ownership with veterinary records and/or recent photos.

Thank you!
