What We Do

  • We spend time with cats and kittens at SCAC to provide them with play time and personal attention. We comb, trim nails, clean ears, and bathe them as necessary. Upon request from SCAC staff, we aid with hand feeding of small kittens or ill cats/kittens, and we work with “spicy” kittens who need additional handling to become more adoptable.

  • We provide toys, bedding, and other supplies to enrich the lives of the SCAC cats and kittens.

  • We take photos and videos of cats and kittens, and post on Petfinder, Facebook, and Instagram to help them find their forever homes.

  • We aid in communicating with no-kill rescue partners who may be able to accept transfers of SCAC cats and kittens, and we provide transport to out-of-town rescues.

  • We help with medical expenses beyond typical needs for cats and kittens during their stay at SCAC. Upon request from SCAC staff, we transport cats and kittens to community veterinarians.

  • We subsidize fees to help reduce the cost of adoptions.

  • Volunteers assist customers at the shelter who wish to adopt, the primary goal being to match families with cats that are appropriate for their needs.

  • We try to place cats that are bonded to each other in the same home by publicizing them and providing additional adoption financial assistance.

  • We attend off-site adoption events and cat shows across the state to help cats and kittens find their forever homes.

Beautiful Bonita was picked up by SCAC on the evening of April 10. A good samaritan reached out to ask for medical assistance for a friendly neighborhood stray kitty who was in labor and not progressing normally. SCAC recognized that Bonita needed emergency medical assistance, so she was transported to the Animal Emergency Clinic in Springfield, and Meow Mobile was contacted to request financial assistance. Bonita was rushed into an emergency c-section, but sadly, her babies were already deceased. Bonita stayed at AEC overnight to receive treatment for dehydration, anemia, and infection. Meow Mobile was pleased to be able to cover Bonita's medical expenses while she was at AEC. The bill came to $2,912.60, but saving this sweet kitty's life was worth every penny.

Bonita is around 5 years old. This probably was not her first pregnancy but thank goodness we know it will be her last. We wanted to share Bonita's story with you because it is a great example of how Meow Mobile and Sangamon County Animal Control & Adoption Center work together to save feline lives in our community. Your generous donations allow us to continue this important work.

New Visiting Room Benches

In 2024, Meow Mobile donated three benches for the SCAC visiting rooms, to allow for more seating and to make everyone more comfortable while meeting their new family members.

SCAC thank you for visiting room benches

Blaze - photo on left was taken during a vet visit for a serious upper respiratory infection. Photo on right was taken after his full recovery. Blaze was one of the cats we assisted with medical care in 2021, and we were so happy he made a full recovery, AND that he then became a “foster fail” and was adopted by his foster family.
