Mission: Meow
Can you help a cat in need?

Mission: Meow has stopped accepting applications for 2009. Please check back in 2010 to be a part of this program.

We appreciate your interest in this program and hope you will check back with us next Spring to become a Mission: Meow foster volunteer in 2010.  We always have great volunteer and foster opportunities available. To learn more, please review our Volunteer Program information, contact us at volunteer@animalhumanesociety.org.

Read more about this innovative program:

Animal Humane Society’s incoming feline numbers average 2,000 a month from early summer to the fall. We take in thousands of kittens resulting in a dramatic decline of adult cat adoptions. Join us in our mission to find these adult cats a home.

The mission is simple: Become a Mission Meow foster volunteer. Take an adult feline houseguest into your home this summer and bring him/her back at a time when they have a better chance of being adopted.

Foster periods run for six months with starts dates throughout the summer months. Cats will be returned to Animal Humane Society at a time when customers historically consider adopting an adult cat and when we have fewer kittens. Each cat is vaccinated, de-wormed, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to joining your family.

We’ll provide the food, toys, litter and litter box—all you provide is the love. Participants are issued a Mission Meow identification card that can be used for picking up food or litter refills at any of our five locations during the foster period. The cost to care for your cat will be little to none.
