We are a women-run foster based animal rescue based in Queens/ BK !
Meowsquad started in 2020 during the height of the COVID pandemic with 2 women just trying to do their best. One woman with a car, full time job as a funeral director and a huge heart, trying to help any cat she sees. And another pregnant woman with a laptop and a growing belly, home on a Covid lock down after losing her job.

Fast forward to a year and a half later, today we have grown into a full scale foster-based cat rescue with around 20 fosters,10 transport volunteers and over 100 cats in our care. We’ve built a team of 4 incredible women-volunteers who became the heart and soul of Meowsquad and now run the day to day operations. We are operating solely by volunteers, so every single penny we get from donations goes directly to help cats in our care.

We rescue cats in the Queens and Brooklyn area and give them medical care that they desperately need. We then assess every cat we trap and place those that can be socialized with our fosters and then work on finding them forever homes.

We often take in kitties with severe injuries and/or health problems. We are being contacted by feeders of colonies on a regular basis asking to help sick cats that they notice in colonies. When we have funds we try to pull kitties that are scheduled to be euthanized. We always try to respond to facebook posts about injured cats found on the streets, abandoned by their owners, dumped into colonies - but again, only if we have the funds.

We are solely donations based rescue, so how many cats we can rescue, how many cats we can trap, how many messages with a cry for help for an injured or sick cat on a street we can respond to depends SOLELY on how many donation we get.
We are very proud of the work we have done so far and keep doing but without donations we can not do anything.
So it is totally thank to people like you we can keep saving lives!

Here are some number to give you an idea:

Even a healthy cat we trap costs us about $400 (initial vet visit with a rescue discount, vaccination, deworming, flea treatment, spay/neuter surgery, food/ litter )
That number can go into thousands literary if the kitty is sick.

Having a steady flow of monthly donations would give un confidence to take in more and more cats, knowing that we have the fund base to care for them and give them all and any help they need.

In 2021 we have taken in about 350 cats and we found homes to 120 cats.
We currently have over 100 in our care that we need monthly supplies for ( litter, food, formula milk for bottle vet kittens etc)
We spend on average $400 per WEEK on cat food and litter alone !

Any donation amount will mean another life potentially saved!

On behalf of everyone at MeowSquad and all of the kitties, THANK YOU!
