Hello to MEOW adoption center!

My name is Jennifer and I was lucky (!) enough to adopt a cat from you a few years ago.   I have attached some photos  for you, and believe his name was Lightfoot when I first met him.

My niece immediately renamed him Lucky, but I am the lucky one for having him in my life.  He was a bit of a handful and a biter to begin with, but he has finally grown to trust me and my family and I can’t imagine life without him.  I regularly take him to my parents retirement living apartment, and truly believe they are happier to see him than me.  My dad recently started to call him “puma” and “the mayor of puma-ville,”  and when he thinks no one is watching, he leans his 91-year-old frame over to scratch him.

Thank you again for uniting me with Lucky.  He is so special to me, he purrs loudly and incessantly, and I love him so much.  Thank you for everything you do for the animals.

Sincerely – Jennifer

Just wanted to say thank you to all the great staff at MEOW. I adopted two sweet brothers one year ago and we are so happy together. Originally named Sean, RootBeer is the funniest cat. He loves to have belly rubs and cant get enough snuggle time. He comes when he is called and always wakes me in the morning by gently tapping my face with his little paw. He’s super outgoing and not afraid of anything! His brother Puss Puss, formerly known as Blackie is “Momma’s delicate little flower.” He is shy and sensitive and gives the sweetest snuggles. He has the most beautiful markings and always hams it up for the camera. These boys are the funniest cats. They love their toys and are constantly bringing them to me! Every morning I wake up with toys in the bed as they have brought me their favorites during the night while I slept. They just got a new cat tree and love climbing it or just sitting on it and relaxing. I don’t know what I would do with out these boys in my life and I thank you for connecting us!

Yours truly,

Stacia, Puss Puss and RootBeer.

Dear Meow Cat Rescue,
Just a quick progress report on the cat formerly known as “Shadow” (now known as Oso!) who is very happy in his new highrise Belltown condo life!  He wasted no time winning the hearts of everybody around here and now even our dour resident cat is putty in his little paws, as you can see. They are good friends but the older cat definitely shows him the ropes of cathood and keeps Oso in line when needed!

Thank you (and the foster home) for rescuing this amazing being and helping make him part of our lives.

Special thanks to Evelyn for her help and sage advice. We will always be grateful to you all for this gift! No cat can ever replace Frazier who we lost a couple of months back, but this is a new chapter.  A couple of photos are attached. 

Best wishes always,
Jake & Kenn

Meow-ers, Sox is doing VERY well in his new home with his new sisters!  He’s eating fine, he’s exploring the house already and other than a few hisses, no bopping has occurred and there have been lots of sniffs.  He’s currently looking out the screen door into the backyard, where several squirrels are hanging out.  I know many of you liked him a lot, so know he’s come to the house of very spoiled kitties!

Hello Friends –
On this recent Father’s Day, Charlie and Beth presented me with the gift of a cat — to be chosen at a convenient time. That time was yesterday, and Charlie and I ventured to the Meow Cat Rescue in Kirkland to select the perfect match for me. By the way, the Meow Cat Rescue is a wonderful place, doing good things, and operated by terrific staff and volunteers. Charlie and I were immediately drawn to the cat now known as Roscoe. Roscoe is about one and a half years old, a male, short hair, long and lean, 12 pounds, and very attentive and affectionate. I know that I am very fortunate to have found him. At this moment he is lying on my desk watching me type this email.

All of you were so very caring a supportive during the illness of Joe the Cat, and I am most grateful for your help at that time. Now, I want to share the good news of Roscoe.

Thank you again, and my warmest regards and wishes,
John

Sadie is settling in so well! She is a super sweet girl who has made herself at home with me and I love her to pieces! She loves playing fetch in the yard, exploring the neighborhood and new dog parks and meeting new friends, both dog and people! And of course, she loves to snuggle – she didn’t get the memo that she is not lap-sized 🙂

The neighborhood kids quickly became fans of Sadie! In fact, all my family and friends have all fallen in love with her – and she with them! 

Thank you again for all that you did to match us up. I couldn’t be happier with Sadie! She is exactly the dog I was praying for!

What can I say?  Merci is the sweetest, smartest, and funniest cat and has made herself completely at home.  We all do as she says.

Her adjustment to the dogs is complete.  She goes up and gives them a kiss on the nose.  She still jumps to attention when Bud our Golden runs through the house but usually sits and bats at him as he runs by.

She has taught me how to play soccer (when I am in the bathroom) and tells me when it is my turn to chase the small crinkle paper mouse. I hope she never catches a real mouse because I am sure she would bring it to me to share playtime.  (I would not like that at all.)

Whenever I lay down, she is right beside me touching or laying on my arm.  She doesn’t always stay too long but comes back.

When I am on the computer, she either lays on my hand and the mouse or in a little box that I keep papers in or on the window sill chattering at the birds.  She isn’t happy with me that I won’t let her outside but I told her I intend to keep my promise about that.

She talks all the time.  What a chatterbox!  She understands when I say “no” and stops and usually walks away.  She kisses me fairly often and has on occasion, nipped at me and got a rather stern NO.

I call her Merci and Sweet Pea.  My husband calls her PeeWee.  They ll sound similar so she responds if she feels like it.  She is a cat ater all and we are grateful that she allows us to live here.

I thank God for bringing this precious little gift to me.  She is such ood company and brings us so much joy.  Thank you for your effort in iving her the chance to live and for your decision to let us provide er a loving home.

Judy, Roy and Merci

Hello Meow,

This is Eowyn. I wanted to let you know Emily and I are doing fine with our family. As you may or may-not remember, I came to you with an eye problem and a peculiar tooth problem and had to have all my teeth save my 4 canine teeth pulled. I’m doing very well now! No eye problems and having no issues with my other teeth. Emily was but just a kitten barely able to be adopted because of her age and was saved from a hoarder along with a few of her brothers and sisters.

Emily has grown up so much as the pictures my human took shows. She likes to sleep on Mom to let her know that she is there. Me? I love to sleep at Dad’s head so he hears me purrrrrr. Just my way to say that I love him. Emily has tried to spend more time with Dad lately by trying to sneak into his school bag.

For a human, he’s kinda smart, and has found her each time she has tried to hide with the bag.

Me being the Royalty of the house, I have my throne that oversees the entire home. I love my perch! It has a little house underneath that I allow Emily to sleep in too. We have so many toys to play with and love getting brushed. Well, looks like Emily is trying to get comfortable on my Throne so I will have to cut this short.

Take Care,

Eowyn & Emily

Jewel is doing really great and we couldn’t be happier with her!  She definitely has made our house her home.  Attached is a picture of one of her daily duties around our place.

Hi Guys,

Tom and his lovely sister Geri turned 17 last month. There was a party with copious amounts of catnip. Followed by the traditional tearing around the house chasing invisible creatures and each other until they had cleansed the house of all evil. As they fell into an exhausted sleep in their favorite plush bed in front of the Furnace Vent God they were secure in the knowledge they had once again, preserved Western Civilization As We Know It.

Pretty nifty for two kitties that don’t weigh ten pounds between them. Remember, thousands of years ago cats were worshiped as divine. Cats have never forgotten that.
