Meow, Inc. (Litchfield)

MEOW INC. was founded in April, 1984. Our founding focus was (and still is) the plight of colony cats. Colony cats are unowned cats that exist in high enough numbers to make their care cost-prohibitive to most individual caregivers. They also run the risk of being persecuted as public health nuisances. MEOW INC. was organized to help these cats and concerned caregivers in a way consistent with humane ethics.

Through MEOW's efforts, colony cats were examined and tested for contagious diseases then vaccinated, altered and treated for parasites. All healthy feral cats (cats that are unsocialized to humans) were returned to their colonies. Kittens, most juveniles, geriatric cats and any friendly felines were placed into foster homes for subsequent adoption. In the later 1980's and early 1990's this type of colony cat work became much more accepted. It is called Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR). Much of MEOW's time and energy is still devoted to this work. TNR is currently promoted by most feline welfare agencies worldwide.
