About Mew

It all started in the Spring of 2019, when a few local girls said “We can do this” and had the passion and drive to take a risk. We weren’t new to rescue, but we had never embarked on something quite this big. The impact of the decision we made that day is witnessed in the 4000 plus cats we have helped since opening our virtual doors.

To help us start off on the right paw, we had a great team of volunteers and fosters ready to take those first few cats and support our effort.

We knew that we wanted Mew to be something different. A modern rescue, open to new ideas and new ways of operating in animal welfare that challenge the status quo. That paid off to help us quickly become one of the largest and most popular rescues in NWA.

Join us for Kitten Yoga, Brewery Bingo and More!

Mew loves pairing the things we enjoy with cats! We host lots of events in the local community, including Yoga with Kittens and Cats on Tap Bingo at Bentonville Brewery. We host kitten purr party adoption events at Petco, as well as bottle feeding classes. See more about our events and how to get involved. We would love to have you on the Mew Crew!
