We adopted Sister Sophia in September. Around day 3 or 4 she finally came out from behind the couch, and she’s been staking her claim to our home ever since. At this point we can’t sit down to watch TV or use the computer without her plopping into our lap. She has been adorable. Thank you so much MEOW!

I would just like to share how Sheldon is doing nowadays!

When I walked in to MEOW about two years ago with a friend of mine, the only thing I had in mind was that I wanted an adult cat. I live alone and was fairly lonely at the time, and came to the conclusion that a cat was exactly what I needed. I expected to be at MEOW for a good while getting to know a few cats. We socialized with some of the cats that were in a big room together for a little bit before being put in a room where we could socialize with a cat one-on one. Consider me surprised when I fell absolutely in love with the first cat that was brought to me!Sheldon has calmed down a smidge since I first adopted him, but he is definitely still the same cat he was when I met him! He still runs around, will happily play after a bit of coaxing, and loves a good lap to nap in for as long as you’ll let him (he’s in my lap as I write this!). He’s a talkative little guy, announcing his presence with a few meows in every room he walks in to, much to the amusement of whatever guests I may have over. He’s ready and willing to sidle up to any new people, after giving them a good stare down from across the room, of course. Sheldon has been my constant companion over the past two years, and I look forward to our future together in the years to come. <3

Hi!

We adopted a bonded pair of sibs, Cookie & Maxine in the Fall of 2015 after a loss of our cat Rascal who was hit by a car on in the early hours of the morning.  They are the epitome of “cool cats”.  Super sweet with two distinct personalities. So glad they found us.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

I came into MEOW looking for a kitten for my girlfriend and I to raise together, but when I saw 1yo Bridget it was love at first sight. She was a bit grumpy about being around the other cats but I could tell that she had a very sweet heart. She warmed up to us within a matter of hours and within days she began sleeping next to us in bed, when she isn’t playing with her toys or talking to us. She came to us with all of her shots, spayed, and in perfect health. We just love her and we are so glad to be able to adopt such an amazing kitty. Thanks MEOW!

We adopted our Camille…aka “Cammi” on May 2nd. She is celebrating her first Christmas with Larry, me and her two furry siblings this year. When I put up the Christmas tree, Cammi was in a state of shock. I don’t think she had ever seen a Christmas tree before. She immediately claimed it as HERS and the other kitties were not allowed to come near it…neither was I as a matter of fact. Decorating it was quite the task! However, she has calmed her jets a bit and LOVES sitting underneath it and guarding it from the other two intruders. There has not been a minute that we have not enjoyed having Cammi in our home and I’m pretty sure she loves us too.

Merry Christmas to the staff and fur babies at MEOW

Dear everyone at MEOW,

Almost 6 years ago I found my Marty at MEOW in Kirkland.  I had just lost my other cat after 8 years due to old age.  Marty was just waiting for me to come along and bring him home.  After almost 6 years, Marty has pretty much taken over the house. When I come home he greets me at the door, purring like crazy and wanting my attention immediately. I am so happy Marty and I found each other.  He sleeps with me every night and knows exactly when the alarm will go off.  Time for his breakfast.

Thank you everyone at MEOW for all you do for the animals (and people),

I would just like to share with you guys how wonderfully Fredrick has adjusted to his new home! I brought him home just about a month ago and within a few hours of being here he was checking out the whole house and finding all the best perches to sit. He’s been the best companion, loves to play most of the time but is so affectionate. He has the biggest personality I’ve ever met in a cat, thank you for bringing the fluff ball into my life.

Roo

About a year ago I adopted Roo (formerly Elliott, the fluffy orange kitty) from MEOW.  He was a scared & shy little kitten that didn’t have a very good start to life. Now, he and his “brother” are the best of friends, along with our two dogs. Roo has become very cuddly and follows us around the house wherever we go. I couldn’t have found a better match. Thanks MEOW!

Max & Chloe

We adopted Max and Chloé (originally Worf & Kira from the DS-9 litter) in December of 2014 when they were about 16 weeks old.  They are the most wonderful kitties and we love them so much!  From day one, they have been affectionate lap cats and are great stress relievers in our home!  Monsieur Max is our “love bug”.  He loves to be held and cuddle up with us on the couch or in bed.  Mademoiselle Chloé is our “sweetie pie”.  She is endlessly curious.  She’ll search behind the printer to find out where the paper is coming from or she’ll look behind the cell phone to see where the voice is coming from.  We love them, they love us and they love each other!

We want to thank MEOW Cat Rescue for everything you do for cats and a special thanks to the foster mom who shaped the early weeks of life for both of our cats.  She did a wonderful job!

Love,

The Hoffman Family

I went to MEOW on March 27, 1999, to check out a cat I’d seen on the website, and he was a nice enough cat. But then I started showing Janine, who was on duty that day, photos of Ashbury, my previous cat, who was a gray tabby Maine Coon. Janine said, “If you like Maine Coons, you’ve got to see what we have in the other room.” She brought out a 7-month-old Maine Coon named Edwin. MEOW had gotten him only a few days earlier, so he wasn’t up on the website. She handed him to me, and he started nuzzling up to me and purring at once. After about a minute, I said, “Would you like to come home with me? I think that could be arranged.”As we were about to head out, Janine said, “Edwin, there’s your new daddy!” I renamed him Sasha. A Russian emigre friend had confirmed for me that Sasha could be a male name. 

Sasha grew up to be a beauty, 15 lb at his peak, and very loving. He lit up my life for almost 17 years. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge peacefully at home, with some help from my veterinarian, on December 29, 2015.
