We got Winston from you right before Christmas and we ADORE him! He gets along great with his new kitty pal Bastian and even enjoys the company of our bunny Fauna.

Tomorrow it will be 4 months since I moved to Anacortes with my adoptive ‘pet parent’ (PP). My older sister Peeps & I have our own sun room. Peeps is very fun and we spend entire nights playing chase and creating messes for our PP. Then we spend the day sitting in the sun and watching the birds. I’ve never seen such bird activity! We have them all-I’m particularly interested in the hummingbirds. I tried to convince my PP to let me outside, but she couldn’t be tricked. I now have to go from window to window to keep track of them. Our PP says we are putting up the ‘feeder’ this weekend-in front of Peeps & my window, so I won’t have to interrupt my nap time to keep watch. Peeps isn’t as impressed by the birds as I am. I even tried to figure out how to open the back door, but the PP caught me! And I got a time-out! I really love it here! And have been showing my PP some affection by kisses and purrs. It appears these signs of affection make her very happy. She even lets me sleep in her bed (during rainy days) – on the sheet and pillows!

My daughter and I adopted Apricot (Marbles was her MEOW name) when she was just 4. She was an immediate perfect fit for us. Just looking her way would start her purring. Eventually we moved to Florida. The screened in lanai with an abundance of lizards to chase and sun to sleep in was her favorite. She passed in January after 14 wonderful years. Thank you for your service to the angels in kitty coats.

I’ve been meaning to send in a “happy ending” for my cat Blake for forever!

I adopted Blake nearly 4 years ago now in January 2014, and I’m so glad I took the plunge and brought him home. His personality has come out more and more over the years, and he is just the sweetest, cuddliest, most fun cat I’ve ever known. He loves climbing into my lap in the mornings while I drink coffee and loves just hanging out with us when we’re home. He also loves sitting on the windowsill and watching the world go by, and is always there to great us when we get home with a friendly meow and lots of purrs and head nuzzles.

I’m so glad I got a chance to meet Blake and MEOW and bring him to his forever home–life wouldn’t be the same without him.

Hi
I wanted to share an update on a kitten I had adopted from your cat rescue earlier this year.  I had adopted her about 3 weeks after I had to put my older cat of 12 years down as he had cancer and was very sick…I had looked at a few shelters but none had kittens to adopt. I was able to find in your rescue place a cage with 2 kittens who I found out were brother and sister and I fell in love with the female cat who’s name was Cassiopeia. After discussion of the adoption process I was able to adopt her and bring her home. She has been such a blessing to me and is such a big part of my life. She is so affectionate and loving and always greets me when I get home and with lots of cuddles when I am relaxing.  She was a year old in October and is happy and healthy and has grown so much. Thanks again and keep up the work of helping other cats and kittens find their forever home.

It has been just over a week since we adopted our sweet little tux girl, Daisy (formerly Polly). Daisy is totally different from any cat we’ve ever had. She’s super social, adventurous and curious. When we took her home the first day, it was as if she had already been living there. After two days separated from our current cat, Daisy made it very clear that her super social and strong personality didn’t like being confined to the bathroom and that she really wanted to meet her new companion, Wasabi. It was important for us to adopt a female kitten that was very playful to help bring our current cat out of his shell. After about a week of living together, they are best friends and have no problems eating next to each other, sharing their multiple cat trees and playing together all night long. She has already helped Wasabi step out of his comfort zone and be more confident and curious. The highlight of my week with Daisy, was waking up to her licking my eyelid while laying on top of my head. She’s a strange one.

Thank you MEOW for helping us find Daisy! We can’t imagine life without her.

Hi – I just wanted to let you know how Emme (Nightingale) is doing.  I adopted her a little more than six months ago.  She is happy and relaxed. She is close with Freya our other cat and they are like sisters now. They play and curl up and sleep next to each other.  She is doing great in her forever home….
Thank you,
Kathleen

Hi, we’d love to share our happy ending with everyone at MEOW!

We adopted Potato the day after Thanksgiving (2016). We were told he is extremely shy, semi-feral and came from a hoarding situation. The wonderful volunteers at MEOW told us we may never be able to pick him up or sleep with him. Hopeful, we brought him home anyway to meet his older sister (Puddy, 17 years old, who is the daughter of a MEOW cat). They quickly became best friends and on the first night, Potato slept with us! He loves to sit on top of Puddy and lick her as well as get cuddled by his mommy and daddy. Both kitties also love taking walks around the neighborhood on their harnesses. We could not be more happy with Potato. He is the love of our life, and MEOW could not have been more helpful. Thank you so much, MEOW.

Milo came into our lives November 2015. It seems like he has always been in our home. Such a happy, contented cat who only asks for playtime with his Wild Wiggly!  Love this big fur ball. Thank you, MEOW!

Dear MEOW, 

Toesies and Tess are doing wonderfully at their new home. Although Toesies was initially shy, he’s been coming out to play more and more. Tess is super affectionate and very curious, exploring every inch of her new home. They are so full of spunk and personality and we are so glad we made them a part of our family. Can’t wait to see them grow some more and develop their personalities even more.
