zzz-giveBIG 2022 Update – May 4, Midnight

Thank you to everyone who made giveBIG 2022 a huge success raising over $46,000! As we say goodnight, we are so grateful for the support of so many, for all the right reasons! These funds will help ensure that we will be there for those who need us most, and continue to make good matches and build happy families.

MEOW is not a large shelter, nor do we have a large staff. That’s just fine with us. We appreciate being able to focus on each and every cat, the cute kittens, the rambunctious teen kitties, the young adults and the seniors, those with special medical needs, and those with special behavioral or emotional needs.

We make a lifetime commitment to each and every one, if ever they should need to be rehomed. Making good matches, building happy families, is our goal.

Meet Siskel & Ebert

These handsome 10-month-old boys came to us from a home with way too many cats. Not too much of a story there. They were with us for a short time before they found their forever family earlier this month. 


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. As we say goodnight, we rest easy knowing that our rescues are tucked in, cozy, safe, and cherished in their forever homes.

“MEOW is absolutely amazing! They helped us adopt our wonderful kittens and have been so supportive. They were thorough and friendly in the application processes and made sure that we felt comfortable with our adoption.”

“I have adopted from MEOW twice now and will again in the future because my experience adopting there has been so positive. The cats I have ended up with have been amazing and the staff has always been very thoughtful about who they introduce me to, paying attention to our household composition and who might be a good fit.”

“I love this place! Came here after checking out a bigger cat rescue place and fell in love with these two sibling kittens I ended up adopting. I was able to spend a good time playing with them and the adoption process was easy (you do have to fill a questionnaire but this only shows they care about where their cats go).”

“MEOW is an amazing no-kill shelter staffed by a team of people with a passion for pets. They’re welcoming and knowledgeable and have the cats’, or dogs’ best interests at heart. Both of my cats are MEOW rescue kitties, and when I escape my HOA two pet policy, my third will be too.”
