MEOW Cat Rescue
Mercer Island Eastside Orphans and Waifs, Bonne Vevea Bad experience

My family had some bad experiences fostering for MEOW. Their staff take in some feral cats in addition to socialized ones. When we signed up to foster, we told them that we were uncomfortable fostering ferals, but would be happy to foster socialized ones.

Aware of this, they kept giving us cats to foster that they knew were ferals and telling us they weren't. The way it would work is they would hand over the cats to us to foster, already in kennels when we arrived, assuring us they were fully socialized. We'd take their word for it.By the time we got home, there was a message from a MEOW volunteer on our answering machine telling us not to return the cats until they were socialized! And, what do you know, we'd let the cats out of the kennels and they were completely feral. Then we had the choice of a) trying to socialize a feral cat, not an easy task, b) trying to return the cat to MEOW, also not an easy task, c) trying on our own to find an adoptive family or sanctuary for a feral cat, again, not an easy task.
