MEOW Cat Rescue (aka Mercer Island Eastside Orphans and Waifs) is a no-kill cat shelter located in Kirkland, WA in the greater Seattle area of Western Washington. MEOW, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit since 1997, places between 800 and 1000 animals into permanent homes each year.
1. Submit Application. Please complete an application for a specific cat or cats and submit to adopt@meowcatrescue.org. Again, please note: only select cats are available for in person meetings. Please read their adoption listing carefully to see if the cat in which you are interested is available for in-person meetings. If they are available as an in-person adoption it will state that in the first paragraph of their listing. Otherwise it will state that they are available by “contactless adoption”. 2. Schedule Appointment (if desired). If, based on your application we believe you (and your family) to be a good fit for that cat or cats, an adoption counselor will call to ask or answer any questions that may arise. The adoption counselor will then schedule your appointment (Saturdays and Sundays during 1-5 pm) to meet and hopefully take home your kitty that same day! As with our contactless adoption process, we are reviewing applications and scheduling appointments in the order we receive the requests. Please bear with us as we work out these new processes! 3. Finalize Adoption. At the shelter you will sign the contract, pay the adoption fee, and review the adoption packet with the Adoption Counselor.
