Our rescue work

Our non-profit arm, Meowtropolitan Foundation began our new rescue program and our own rescue in 2024, after a change in management practices with our prior shelter partner. We rescue and find home for shelter cats, with the help of an incredible network of foster families and volunteers. We welcome new fosters!

We pull cats from our local shelters and provide them with a cage-free, enriching environment at the cat café while they wait to meet their forever families. The cat café allows the cats to learn more about them and show us their personalities which helps us match them with the suitable, furrever homes.

We aim to help our local shelters keep their kennels empty, reduce the load on their capacity and provide medical and socialization help for the shelter kitties that need a little extra assistance.

Meowtropolitan Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN: 83-1847991) and you can make a tax-deductible donation to support our work.
