Our Story
Here at The Cat’s Meow Spay, Neuter & Adoption Project, we are driven by a single goal; to reduce euthanasia as a means of population control for Southwest Washington cats.
Since 2009 we have worked tirelessly to provide cat owners and caretakers with affordable spay/neuter, allowing them to keep felines that they may have otherwise had to surrender to kill-shelters.
In addition to high-volume spay/neuter, we offer re-homing assistance, training to those feeding bottle babies, assistance in handling & taming feral kittens and cats, volunteer opportunities and education in many aspects of feline behavior and care.

Services
The Cat’s Meow SNAP provides services for cats, not dogs or rabbits.
SPAY/NEUTER & WELLNESS As a non-profit, we are allowed by the State of Washington to perform spays/neuters and offer vaccine/well-check services for pets of low-income families. We are also allowed to perform spays/neuters and offer vaccine/well-check services for truly unowned cats for any family, low-income or not. These cats DO NOT live on your property and sometimes are only seen every few days or so. If they live on your property, are going to be kept moving forward, adopted out, etc., they are considered owned and the family must meet income guidelines to qualify for services. This is not our policy…it is a state law governing how non-profit spay/neuter facilities are allowed to operate. Thank you for helping us adhere to this law by following these guidelines.

ADOPTION We also offer adoptions of kittens/cats. You do not need to be low-income to adopt. All of our kittens are adoptable to indoor-only homes and are to remain as indoor-only pets. The exception is when allowed access to a secure catio or when going on walks using a harness (not collar as these are easy to slip) and leash. On occasion we have adult cats available that have lived outdoors and can be adopted to low-risk, outdoor homes (ie: not out in the countryside where predation is high-risk or close to busy roadways, etc) To see why we handle adoptions in this manner, please view “What percentage of outdoor cats survive?”
These pets are fully vetted prior to adoption. To visit with a few of our adoptables, visit Totally Pawsome in Chehalis, WA. To view all of our available kittens/cats (many are still in foster homes), please visit our FACEBOOK PAGE. Once the remodel of our adoption rooms at The Cat’s Meow SNAP is complete, you will also be able to visit kittens/cats at our building! To apply for consideration as an adopter, CLICK HERE
UPCOMING IMPROVEMENTS We have been working on enhanced facilities in our building. We are very excited to add the Patty Cat Cafe, complete with upstairs dining, a 2-story, kennel-free adoption area, catio, two spacious adoption visiting rooms as well as one reading room (cat visitor included!). In addition, we will have an area for crisis boarding – a place for cats to stay, short-term, when their owner(s) have suffered flood, fire, domestic violence, injury, illness or eviction.
