Newsletters & MEOW MEWS

Newsletters

A few times each year we mail a newsletter in which we share the happy ending stories of many of the cats we’ve rescued, as well as let people know about upcoming events or needs at the shelter.

Sawyer and Ollie
The Promise

“Promise you’ll take care of my cats.” In the hospital, losing his battle with cancer, the man implored his trusted friend. The 12-year-old red tabby, Sawyer, and 8-year-old blue boy, Ollie, had been together for a lifetime. Pasha, the third, a feral boy, just 2, had recently begun to get close to his dad in the darker, quieter times of the day. That was over. Read More…

Sweet Pea Goes Home
You may recognize her. Sweet Pea has lived at MEOW since February 11, 2015. When she arrived, so long ago, she had nearly given up. Having been relegated to an outdoor life in a hoarding situation, she had birthed a litter of kittens very early in life and shortly thereafter had been hit by a car, causing spinal injuries. On arrival at MEOW, this thin little cat… Read More…

June Bug, What’s Not to Love?
June Bug and her siblings were roly-poly kittens with round tummies and fuzzy bodies – the epitome of adorable. These babies, healthy and happy, were placed in a foster home where they were bottle fed until they were ready for their forever homes.

Three years after her adoption, June Bug was returned due to inappropriate urination. Read More…

At the age of 7, in November 2019, she was returned to us when a child in her home developed severe allergies. Read More…

Introducing the Quarantabbies
While Washington State began to enter the new world of the novel coronavirus, intact outdoor cats were doing what they do. A whole clowder of cats was being loosely cared for by an elderly gentleman. QuickSilver, a 3-year-old tabby, had given birth mid-March. When her kittens were about four weeks old, her nest was discovered by a neighbor’s dog. QuickSilver had been frightened away and the four tiny tabbies huddled in a cuddle puddle. Read More…

William, Sweet William
It was early fall in 2007 when a Kirkland resident, doing some yard clean-up, discovered a small kitten under the compost bin. This little ball of brown tabby fluff had found himself a warm spot, but he was all alone, his mother and siblings nowhere in sight. After a short stay in a foster home, he was social and healthy, and was quickly adopted in what was expected to be his forever home. Life takes a turn sometimes, and it certainly did for William. Read More…
