Friendly Beasts, Day 25: Meow Foundation


http://www.meowfoundation.com

Founded in 2000, MEOW Foundation has a no-kill mandate, believing that, with time, all of the stray/abandoned cats that find their way into the Foundation's care can and will be matched with a permanent home that best suits the needs of the individual cat.  This takes both patience and perseverance, which their volunteers and staff have in spades.

In addition to their adoption listings (provided in a "cat"alog, of course!), their Web site offers helpful links regarding bringing a new kitty home, how to care for feral colonies in the community, and resources for TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs.  And if you need some uplifting stories, check out their DEAR MEOW section featuring the follow-up notes from some of their previous residents; they help demonstrate how every permanent place is a win in the fight against homeless and abandoned pets.

Canadian residents interested in volunteering or visiting one of their events should check out their calendar.  If you aren't lucky enough to live nearby, you can still sponsor an animal-in-waiting and help to care for them until they find a forever placement.  Whatever help you can offer provides new opportunity for kitties like Tiberius, pictured above and waiting patiently for his match.  Visit their Web site, mentioned above, or check them out on Facebook at "The MEOW Foundation".
