Benefiting Nonprofits

Catherine, a SoCal native, has always valued healthy, natural foods, and initially conceived a
plan to grow wheatgrass to supply the juice trade. Her New Zealander brother-in-law, Marty,
brought his innovative nature and broad-spectrum expertise to the enterprise and built an
organic growing operation on the family farm in San Marcos, California.
Both being animal lovers, they soon realized there was a need for healthy greens in pets’ lives
as well. Recognizing the fact that many pets spend most of their lives indoors, they made it their
mission to satisfy an animal’s instinctive craving for fresh, live greens while also providing an
essential, life-enriching connection with nature.
Wheatgrass was the perfect answer: the tender, juicy blades are packed with antioxidants,
vitamins and minerals while also supplying gentle natural fiber for optimal digestive health. In
1996 they shifted their focus exclusively to the pet industry, and the Pet Greens brand was born.
Pet Greens organic wheatgrass was so well-received that they expanded their line of products
to include live catnip, cat grass self-grow kits, and treats for cats and dogs using a proprietary
recipe infused with healthy greens. This innovative solution of bringing the outdoors in gives
pets a full and happy life – so they can truly thrive inside!

Grant requested $8320.
The grant will be paying for a beautiful new shed, concrete pad and mini-split HVAC.
This will allow them to comfortably house more cats after surgery. The space also allows for easier cleaning and feeding. A real game changer for FC3.

As announced at the beginning of April a grant of $6400 would be awarded to Love Your Feral Felines to provide 30 foster parent kitten kits to launch their “All You Need Is Love” foster program. We are thrilled to be fully funding this grant!

Congratulations Love Your Feral Felines!

The second grant was a surprise that came about as April marched ahead and MIssion Meow discussed the opportunity to help a second, amazing organization.
Animal Protection Association is an all volunteer cat rescue that needed funds not just for building repairs, but for a very important (and potentially lifesaving) fire alert system. Mission Meow is proud to announce that a grant of $6000 has been awarded to Animal Protection Association!

Congratulations Animal Protection Association!

Thank you to our business partners and donors for making it possible to achieve something so exciting in just our third grant cycle!

It’s only with your support that we can continue making dreams come true!

MIssion Meow is very proud to announce we have awarded our second grant. Full Circle MO Feral will be given a check for $6000.00 that will be used to purchase
30 Feral Cat Dens and 5 Recovery Cages. Once again we have made a dream come true for a small feline-centric nonprofit organization.
The dens and cages are not only vital for the work they do, but with purchasing so many at once they can continue adding new TNR (trap/neuter/return) volunteers to their organization. Full Circle MO Feral is a very special organization and one we are incredibly proud to support!

We also recognize none of this happens without the support of our business partners and individual donors. Saying we are grateful is an understatement, but we truly are
so grateful for the support you have shown us. The work we do is a lifeline for small nonprofit organizations and not just financially, but also for organizational morale.
So many small nonprofits have struggled the past few years and grants like these show them that they matter, they make a difference and we recognize their hard work.

Thank you Full Circle MO Feral and keep up the amazing work you do. Mission Meow is so proud to support you!

Catsbury Park was once just a dream that Founder DJ Bornschein had back in 2016, and since that day Catsbury Park has grown and accomplished more than anyone could have ever imagined. Hundreds and hundreds of adoptions, 3 cat conventions, a podcast, NJ’s first cat cafe, and thousands of lives changed forever, feline and human.

In 2020 when the world stopped, so did the cafe & adoption lounge. Closing their doors for what they hoped would be a brief time soon became the better part of a year. Eight months later, it became evident that they would not be able to open safely anytime soon. They made the difficult but responsible decision to close the door to the cat cafe on Cookman Avenue for good in early 2021.

Putting all of their efforts into TNR & building a foster program throughout 2021 meant that they could save over 160 neonatal kittens, place them in foster and find them homes. Not to mention, TNR’d over 300 cats in their community.

That brings us to where they are now. 2022, sitting in their new location. No longer in the heart of Downtown Asbury, but just a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle.

This new location boasts two rooms, the first, dubbed our “rescue room.” This space is the home base for continued rescue work through TNR and fostering. The second is their fun and inviting “Adoption Center,” a free-roaming cat’s paradise, similar to the lounge at the previous location. A space that is fun and engaging for cats and humans alike!
