Now, here is some information about
Our 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.
Our 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.
Our 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 Mercer
Island Eastside Orphans & Waifs, now commonly known as MEOW Cat Rescue & Adoption,
a non-profit organization with a no-holds-barred no-kill philosophy. MEOW continues to be
staffed almost entirely by volunteers.
Our Goal
MEOW 's goal is to help
create a "no-kill nation", where people are responsible for their
pets, where there are no helpless creatures abandoned in boxes or left to fend
for themselves in parking lots, where there is no longer a need for any healthy
companion animal to be euthanized.
Today
MEOW places approximately 1000 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 its entire lifetime. Newborn or senior, healthy, ill or injured, all are valued at MEOW. 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”.
