Story
We have several litters of kittens to chose from- all colors- Tabby, Black/White, Orange ETC. Many are yet to be listed. Please fill out an application ASAP for priority consideration (link at the bottom). See why we are different from other rescues & Shelters! ***WHY MISSION MEOW IS BEST TO ADOPT FROM:*** ***Complete Information You get to speak directly to the foster family who have the kittens in their care! No one knows the kittens better than the people who have had them for the last several weeks or more. They will give you full details as to personality, background, quirks, likes/dislikes, ETC. Since adopting a pet is a commitment for the next 15-20 years, you want as much information as possible to make the best decision. ***Private, quiet meet & greets You get to visit the kittens in their own current environment where they run free so their true personality shines through. Our kittens aren’t subjected to noisy stores and stressful cages and you won’t be competing with other annoying people for your desired kittens. ***Quality over Quantity We are a small rescue so we can focus on each kitten individually to provide personalized medical & socialization protocols. Because we do not overcrowd, our cats do not pass contagious diseases to each other. ***Veterinary Care We balance a mix of holistic & conventional protocols to keep our kittens healthy. We use high quality disease preventatives & medication when necessary. Mission Meow only wants the best medical care for our kittens, so we don’t skimp on those costs AT ALL. We work closely with our vet to come up with a plan for any kittens who may be ill and to prevent any unnecessary and over medicating. Three local veterinarians have adopted from us after observing the quality of our kittens. ***FOOD: Our kittens are nourished with high-quality food. We've been offered free /discounted food from other companies but we choose to use the best option even if it costs more for us. ***Resident Pet/Child Safety While no one can guarantee the health of any living being, we do our best to make sure your adopted kitten does not have any issues such as parasitic worms that can be passed on to your resident pets or children. We have a very thorough deworming protocol using the best products on the market and the proper duration. Most places adopt kittens while they are in between showing signs of intestinal worms. Not us. ***POST ADOPTION SUPPORT It is extremely rare that we have any issues post adoption, but if there were any that presented themselves, we would work with you towards a resolution. We pride ourselves on the one-on-one relationships we build with our adopters. __________________________________________________________ ALL CATS ARE: SPAYED/NEUTERED ~Vaccinated ~Rabies* ~Microchipped** ~Tested for Diseases ~TREATED/PREVENTATIVE FOR: Fleas Worms Ear Mites ~Litterbox Trained ~Socialized in private foster homes ~MULTI ADOPTION DISCOUNT * If age appropriate ** FREE LIFETIME REGISTRATION ____________________________________________________ APPLICATION: For FAQS and Priority Consideration, please fill out an application located here: https://www.missionmeowcats.org/adoptables-and-process _____________________________________________________ *****ADOPTION LOCATION:***** By private appointment in Rocklin/Roseville/Lincoln/Citrus Heights/Auburn CA area, or at Bark Avenue Rocklin ______________________________________________________ *****ADOPTION PROCESS:***** APPLICATION: Please contact us and we will send you an online application. A response is usually given with 24-48 hrs if we think it's a potentially good match. INTERVIEW: An adoption counselor will contact you via phone to answer any questions and if it seems like a good fit, arrangements will be made for all parties to meet with desired cat(s) at a mutually agreeable time. APPROVAL: If adoption is approved, a contract and adoption fee to cover veterinary costs will be required. You will be given medical files. TIME FRAME: Based on volunteer availability, it is possible for all adoption steps to be completed the same day, however, it is not guaranteed. Please note that occasionally a home check, vet records/references, etc may be required and multiple people may be interested in the same cat(s) so additional time may be necessary. You are also welcome to get the kitten an appointment with your own veterinarian at your expense prior to adoption, just be aware that may delay the adoption by several days. WHY: Our adoption vetting process ensures a proper feline fit for your family. You may be a wonderful pet owner but may not be the best fit for a particular cat, or other extenuating circumstances. Also, YOU may know you are a good pet owner, but we don't. We exist because too many people view pet ownership as casual or disposable so we want to be sure the best match is made for the next 15-20 years. Your patience and understanding as to where we are coming from are much appreciated. Our adoption process is also reflective of the extremely thorough medical protocol our kittens receive. Thank you!

Story
Meet Blue! This handsome hunk is a totally easy-going, friendly, affectionate lovebug! He’s extra special because he had a surgery that you can read about below. He’s currently residing with our friends at Dry Creek Veterinary Hospital in Roseville so you’re welcome to contact us or them if you are interested in learning more about Blue! He’s only 6 years old, perfectly well mannered  and would be an awesome companion cat to someone! He had a perineal urethrostomy surgery and will likely need to be on special urinary crystal food, but you can talk to his veterinarian foster mom about that. It is a very manageable condition & the surgery will likely be a lifetime success. Read about it here: Male cats develop urinary obstructions much more readily than female cats due to differences in urinary tract anatomy between the two sexes. While the female urethra is relatively short and maintains a consistent diameter as it travels from the bladder to its external opening, the male urethra is slightly longer and, more importantly, it narrows as it enters the penis. This narrowing of the urethra predisposes males to urinary obstructions in which the urethra becomes blocked by stones, blood clots, mucus, or tumors. A perineal urethrostomy creates a new urinary opening that decreases the length of the urethra and allows urine to bypass this narrowed region. This surgery can decrease the likelihood of recurring obstruction. He is neutered & vaccinated, etc. This is a COURTESY POSTING for our veterinarian- Mission Meow makes no guarantees regarding the vetting, health or temperament of this cat however you are welcome to contact us to ask any questions. Occasionally we assist member of the community with cats they have found. If you fill out an application, we can help assist you find a purrfect fit for your family, even if we refer you to outside of our rescue.

Story
1) READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION 2) ALL FAQS ANSWERED HERE & ON OUR WEBSITE 3) APPLICATION REQUIRED (link at the end) Meet Smudge, the ultimate ball of energy and fun! This playful boy is always on the move, chasing his sisters, Tiger Lily and Cupid, or staking his claim on the best toys with an adorable growl. Smudge has a big personality and isn’t afraid of anything, whether it’s batting at another cat’s tail or making sure everyone knows he’s the boss of the tube treats. He insists on holding the treat tube with both paws and devours it faster than anyone—he might even sneak a lick from his sisters’ share if they’re not quick enough! My siblings and I are loud purr machines! When he’s done with his wild adventures, Smudge has a sweet side. He loves being held like a baby and enjoys curling up next to his siblings and human for some downtime. If you’re looking for a fearless, fun-loving, and snuggly companion, Smudge is your guy! ****HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RESCUES/SHELTERS**** ***WHY MISSION MEOW IS BEST TO ADOPT FROM:*** ***Complete Information You get to speak directly to the foster family who have the kittens in their care!

Story
Harvey is a mature 10 year old tabby looking for a calm place to call home. Harvey spent some of his early years on the streets but has since been rescued and loves being inside and with his family. Harvey enjoys playing with toys as well as sitting with his “person” and being loved. He is adaptable and knows how to follow the rules of his home. He gets along with “the ladies” but not so much with male cats. Earlier in his life he was exposed to dogs and doesn’t like them very much. Harvey is neutered, flea and parasite free, is FIV positive and did have dental surgery to remove most of his teeth. Don’t let the lack of teeth fool you, Harvey is able to eat both types of food and loves treats. Harvey is a sweet boy who just wants to be loved. If you are looking for a companion, Harvey would love to find his forever home.

Story
Meet Jake, a feline with a heart full of courage and a spirit of curiosity. Though he possesses an independent streak, he is a mellow soul, embodying the perfect balance of bravery and shyness. Jake loves exploring his surroundings, yet he also cherishes quiet moments. His curiosity often leads him to investigate the smallest of sounds or the subtlest of movements. Despite his brave exterior, he can be a little shy at times, but with a bit of patience, he opens up to show his loving nature. His mellow demeanor makes him an ideal companion for those seeking a low-key friend. We recommend that he goes to a home with experienced cat owners and children aged 10+. Adopting Jake would not only give him a loving home, but also provide you with a brave explorer and a gentle companion. His unique personality will surely fill your home with joy and tranquility.Adoption fee: $50Monthly Promotion Applies!
