WHO WE ARE
Striving to help every stray and feral cat in West Philly
Project MEOW is an all-volunteer, animal welfare group that helps West Philadelphia residents in zip codes 19104, 19139, and 19143 humanely reduce their feral and stray cat populations through Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) of un-owned stray and feral (wild) cats.
WHAT WE DO
Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage, or TNRM, is a comprehensive management plan where healthy free-roaming cats are sterilized and vaccinated, then returned to their habitat and provided with long-term care by at least one community member.
Basic Cat Rescue
Despite being an all-volunteer organization, we always have a dedicated group of individuals who are available to rescue cats when contacted by community members.
Since many of the cats found in the neighborhoods are friendly and could be adopted, we foster them through our network of fosters.
Once our fosters are fully vetted, we get them adopted to fur-ever homes with help from our community partners like PAWS, Kawaii Kitty Care, and Baltimore Pet Shop, etc.
Assist Feral Colonies
We have over 200 feral and stray cat caregivers in our database. We support caregivers to ensure feral and stray cats are fed and taken care of.
Public Education
There are over 400,000 stray cats in Philadelphia. Education is one way to address the stray cat problem. We strive to educate the public about the problem and provide them with ways to get invovled in tackling the issue.
