Our Story

At MeowTown, we believe in opportunities—for cats and for people. Inspired by the challenges of our founder’s 27-year-old daughter, MeowTown was established as a nonprofit with the dual mission of creating meaningful employment for individuals with special needs and finding permanent homes for rescue cats.

​

At MeowTown we provide a warm, home-like setting where adoptable cats can shine. By showcasing their unique personalities outside the shelter, we help visitors connect with them in genuine, lasting ways.

​

MeowTown is also a place where neurodiverse people are valued as employees and embraced as part of a vibrant community. Here, meaningful work, companionship, and purpose come together—proving that when we welcome those with differences, everyone is enriched.

​

We also know that time with animals is powerful. The simple act of petting a cat can reduce stress, ease loneliness, and boost mental well-being. When people come to MeowTown, they can pause, breathe, and experience the comfort that a purring companion often provides. Every cuddle, every adoption, and every smile supports our mission: to enhance lives through compassion, friendship, and the healing power of cats. MeowTown is more than a lounge—it’s a community.
