We are lifetime pet owners and went in to adopt a cat from this organization. These women proceeded to make us fill out an application which we did and was approved. One of the ladies interviewed us and formed a judgement that we were not fit to adopt a cat which is absolutely ridiculous. They were using questions we had of them against us when we wanted to adopt of their cats and have many edicts on which cat can be adopted and with which cat must be adopted with them. It was a terrible experience all around with the staff more interested in profiling its prospective cat owners than actually finding homes for their cats.

MEOW is incredibly thorough with their vetting of their rescues. All cats and kittens receive the proper medical care they need no matter what. Not to mention the knowledgeable adoption counselors who specialize in kitty/human match making! MEOW is a wonderful rescue all around, from top to bottom!

I have had the benefit of seeing first hand what this group can and does accomplish. The huge numbers of cats and kittens who have the opportunity of a good life now, is staggering. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you. You make a difference.

I have had several fosters go to MEOW. Adolfo has always been so caring and gentle when doing the intake process for these precious fur babies. The facilities at MEOW are top notch - always clean and inviting. When I have visited a few of my fosters, they are very happy and find their new homes very quickly. I would recommend MEOW to anyone looking for a new furry friend

MEOW was a leading organization in the fight to transform the way companion animals are managed in the massive County of King in Washington State. Thanks to MEOW and those they mentored, the kill rate in our government shelter is one of the lowest in the nation.

MEOW is one of the most caring, dedicated and professional rescues in Washington. They do amazing work with homeless cats and kittens and I have nothing but pure admiration for their work. Well respected by other rescues in the area, they continue year after year to demonstrate compassion both to animals and to the humans in their community.

MEOW is an amazing organization that has worked tirelessly to help cats. It is no-kill and they are very pro-active in helping rescue those cat and kittens in need. I have worked with MEOW in conjunction with the Community Cat Coalition to work for Compassionate Solutions for feral (Community) Cats. I find their volunteers and staff to be knowledgeable and compassionate.
