Saving Cats in NWA

Since 3.19.19

Mew was started in Bentonville, Arkansas on a beautiful spring day, March 19, 2019. A group of volunteers in the local animal welfare community saw the need and knew they had the passion and resources to make a difference. With years of aninmal welfare experience under our belts, we knew we could launch a different and more modern kind of rescue. Mew continues our work today with the help of the local community who adopts, donates and supports our mission. We focus on strays and owner surrenders in the local area especially Benton County, Arkansas, and on our Mew Cares program. Mew Cares helps owners and their cats stay together and avoid surrenders, by helping with vet care, supplies and other basic needs. Join us today and get involved or donate to help us continue our mission.

What We Do

Intake Strays and Owner Surrenders

Mew fields at least 5 calls daily from the community to help stray cats and to help owners who need to surrender.

Foster Program

All cats with Mew need a foster home, and that foster helps to facilitate adoption and care for the cat in their home. Fostering a cat is saving a life. 

Mew Cares

This program provides financial assistance for vet care, food and litter for those in need. Our goal is to keep cat owners and families together so that these things aren’t an obstacle.

Trap Neuter Return

TNR is the answer to the root cause of the cat overpopulation crisis. We help the local community trap, get those cats altered, and release them back. 

Adoption

Mew fields calls and requests daily from the community to help stray cats and also to help owners who need to surrender.

Petco Program

Mew puts some of our adoptable cats into Petco in the Rogers location on Walton. You can meet and adopt a kitty the same day!

Helping Rural Arkansas

Mew Petco Program

Mew partners with rural areas to bring cats to NWA for adoption at the Rogers Petco store. Kill rates at shelters throughout the more rural areas of Arkansas are much higher and cats especially are at a risk for being euthanized. Learn more about our Petco program and how you can help.
