MEOW Cat Rescue

Mission: With respect and compassion for all animal life, MEOW promotes lifelong relationships between people and companion animals, providing shelter and care for each precious life until adopted into a forever home.

Vision: MEOW envisions a day when society will be free from the dangers and nuisances of irresponsible pet ownership, when every pet born will be assured loving care all of its natural life and will never suffer due to abuse, neglect or ignorance.

History: In the early 1990s, a small group of animal-loving friends made a commitment to create a better life for homeless animals. With little more than determination, they started MEOW, a non-profit organization with a no-holds-barred no-kill philosophy. MEOW is still staffed almost entirely by volunteers, and it's still all about the animals.

MEOW places approximately 1,000 animals into permanent homes each year. Our application process ensures that every adopted animal is placed in an environment where there is appropriate space, human contact, and a commitment to safeguard and care for the animal for his/her entire lifetime. Our standards are high, andthe welfare of the animal is paramount in the placement process.

Each year MEOW is faced with the impossible, and each and every day we recommit ourselves to something we truly believe in--the motto we adopted at our inception: "all nine lives are precious".
