Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. As of 9 am this morning, we have raised $16,784. These funds will help ensure that we will be there for those who need us most, including the super seniors.
It fills our hearts with joy to offer older cats, who may not seem as adorable as kittens, a soft place to land for as long as they need to find the family who can really appreciate them.
Meet Archie
An elderly woman had been feeding this big homeless red tabby cat recently, but that clearly wasn’t the best life for him, So, one of our independent rescuers asked if we would take this sweet 7-year-old gentleman.
Most likely he has spent quite some time living on his own. His cauliflower ears are a result of serious, long term, untreated ear mite infection. Despite his odd profile, he is the most charming of cats. We’re certain that someone will find him handsome inside and out and make him their own soon.
Certainly, we have a soft spot in our hearts for the senior cats, the ones that often get overlooked for adoption, especially during kitten season. Yes, it’s harder to find their forever home as they may have health issues or senior needs, but it’s our pleasure to help them to meet the families that will love and cherish them for their lifetime. Our hearts are filled with joy when an adopter of senior cats lets us know it was just the right fit!
Our reasons for doing what we do each and every day are focused around the animals, but when members of our community recognize our efforts, it fills our hearts with pride and gratitude.

“I adopted a bonded pair of cats from MEOW in 2010. They were older cats and MEOW was very thorough in interviewing us because they wanted to make sure it was the best match and truly their forever home. Only one still lives, but I am forever grateful to MEOW for helping my girls come into my life. They have been with me through so much and were the perfect match!”
