Cat Rescue Grant Application

Mission Meow provides targeted, impact-driven grants to small cat rescues and nonprofit organizations working on the front lines of TNR, adoption, and community cat advocacy.

Our grants are designed to fund a specific well-defined initiative or purchase with clear milestones and a realistic completion date. We believe focused funding creates measurable outcomes, sustainable growth, and meaningful change for cats and the people who care for them.

Keep in mind, Mission Meow does not provide financial assistance for rent, medical bills, spay and neuter, or monthly expenses such as food, litter and basic supplies.

Mission Meow grants are available to:

  • 501(c)(3) feline-focused nonprofit organizations
  • Organizations with annual revenue under $250,000
  • Groups operating in good standing with clear leadership and financial transparency

We prioritize small, community-based organizations where a grant can create tangible, transformative impact.

Mission Meow grants currently average $7,000 to $15,000. Funding amounts vary based on project scope, organizational capacity, and demonstrated need.
