Mew Cat Rescue

Help Mew Rescue Raise Funds for Kitten Season and our Mew Cares program. And one more thing.....

Mew is in need of your support, to continue our life saving mission for cats in Northwest Arkansas in 2026. Our fundraising goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000. Your contribution will make a significant impact no matter how small. 

Our main focus and programs for 2026:

1. Kitten season has already began in NWA. We expect over 200 kittens this season. With an estimated cost of $100 per kitten (a conservative estimate), Mew faces an expenditure of over $20,000. 

2. Our Mew Cares program seeks to help cat owners in need of vet services or food. This is a large percentage of our budget and is costly to operate. Unlike adoptions, there is zero dollars which come back in to the rescue operating this program, is it strictly costly expenditure. This expenditure is....LARGE. 

Some examples of Mew Cares work over the past year:

Bella was having seizures, and her owners could not afford to get her vet care. Bella went to urgent care several times, and had a negative reaction to the seizure medication causing her to go into renal failure. Just last week, she was hospitalized at our regular vet with a feeding tube inserted. She is doing better, but will continue to have seizures now without her medication. Bella will need lifelong treatment and her prognosis is guarded. But she has owners who love and cherish her, and this is the work Mew does for the community. 

Honey is approaching 15 years old. From her owner: "She's been struggling to use the litter box and my parents got "fed up with it" and put her in a dog kennel about a year ago. She struggles to clean herself and can only walk a few feet before getting tired and laying down. What I'm asking for is to get her to a vet and figure out why she's been struggling to use the litter. I don't want her to suffer for the last few years of her life. She hasn't had any vet work ever since I adopted her back in 2016". Honey is scheduled to see the vet this week. 

UPDATE: unfortunately Honeys condition was too poor and her family decided to let her go yesterday. Sometimes our work means letting an animal out of its suffering and giving the cat and its owners peace. 

And who can forget the horrific events of the slaughter of cats e came across in southern White County Arkansas. When we arrived onsite we found slaughtered cats strewn about the property in all stages of decomposition, possibly even eaten by other cats somehow still living. What we found above ground was one thing, what was found in the basement another. To this day local authorities have taken no action and no news station has been willing to take up the story, even though we have proof of at least 2 of the individuals who had taken over this abandoned home where the owner had died. 

You may not be able to tell what you are looking at in some photos but these are both alive, but many dead cats in skeleton "forms". We've spared you many of the photos but knives, wire hangers, and other tools were used to kill and TORTURE these animals. Bed blankets with massive dried blood stains. And pill bottles and writing on chalkboards that give plenty of proof of who to start to question on this case. By the time authoroties went out, the place had been bleached clean.

Thankfully, we've got kitten season for renowned hope of the future.
