AniMeals No-Kill Adoption Ctr and Animal Food Bank

AniMeals No-Kill Adoption Ctr and Animal Food Bank AniMeals is Missoula County's only brick-and-mortar feline-centric shelter and pet food bank for companion animals and community cats.
(483)

We offer limited services for dogs through the food bank and medical fund. We are powered by community support! AniMeals is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization supported entirely by the generous donations of animal lovers everywhere. We have a strong network of volunteers that do food deliveries, daily chores, and office work this is the backbone of our organization. Without the dedication of these

wonderful people, AniMeals would not be able to operate. It is people like you who make it all possible. We consider ourselves to be a very successful organization. In 2021 we took in 330 cats and adopted out 282. Of that 330, 158 came from shelters and Veterinarians. We measure our success by how many lives we impact, animal and human lives. We can’t put a number on this measure of success; however, it is our mission to rescue, feed, and heal as many animals as possible. We ask ourselves with every cat that comes through the door, “How can we improve their quality of life?” Our goal is to improve the quality of life for all cats that come into our care. Many of them have had difficult, painful pasts and it is our mission to ease their suffering by providing a haven for them to heal. We have improved the quality of life for countless animals in our 18 years of operation and because of that, we consider ourselves to be a very successful organization. We take in the most at risk, primarily strays, the old, neonatal kittens born to community cats, very sick and injured from other shelters and Veterinarians. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. We are a haven for those that have run out of options. Upon arrival, they receive a “Nose to Toes Health Care Exam,” which includes: a routine checkup, spay or neuter, dentals, and vaccinations. Last, but not least a microchip so that if they ever get lost they will always find their way back home. We have been able to successfully remove barriers to adoptions for old and chronic medical conditions. The creation of our Gaia’s Landing program was created five years ago. AniMeals Pet Food Bank helps supplement food for other shelters and rescues, so those resources can be used to Spay & Neuter and provide medical care. Additionally, we feed the pets of the homebound disabled, families in crisis, community cat colonies, the homeless with pets, and animals living on the streets. TOGETHER “WE RESCUE” “WE FEED” “WE HEAL”
WE ARE THEIR VOICE

The flowers are blooming here in Montana, and so is Lilac! 🪻

Lilac has been making strides in building her confidence with her cat suitemate Cheddar, shelter buddies, and staff members. She still prefers to keep to her cat tree, but really loves gentle ear scratches and butt rubs. She is a sweet and gorgeous kitty who would make a great companion in a calm and quiet home, where she can take her time adjusting, but also share all the love she has to give.

Stop by AniMeals between 12 PM and 6 PM, every day except Thursday, to meet the lovely Lilac and apply to adopt at animeals.com/adopt

All AniMeals cats are fixed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for worms, fleas, and parasites in preparation for adoption.

Hopper has graduated from his ringworm treatment! 🎓

This big and handsome 5-year-old boy has finally completed his ringworm treatment! We couldn't be more excited for him to get back to what he loves most: sitting in visitors' laps for gentle pets and lots of snuggles! He is now our longest resident available for adoption, so he is more than ready to find his forever lap! After being trapped outside our building this winter as a stray, he has decided he's ready for the indoor snuggly life!

Stop by AniMeals between 12 PM and 6 PM, every day except Thursday, and apply to adopt this sweet and handsome fella at animeals.com/adopt

All AniMeals cats are fixed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for worms, fleas, and parasites in preparation for adoption.

Riven & Lucy are ready for their forever home! 💞

Riven & Lucy are a special bonded duo who fell in love at first sight. They met in their cat tree, and it remains their favorite spot to cuddle, groom each other, and watch their surroundings in the shelter. They are a very chill, calm duo who would do best in a quiet home where they spend their days relaxing, greeting their future adopters, and asking for gentle pets.

Stop by AniMeals between 12 PM and 6 PM every day except Thursday and apply to adopt at animeals.com/adopt 🐾

Did you know cats love reading? While they may not know how to read, they sure do love being read to! 🐱📚

Storytelling to cats is a great way to help them feel calm and loved while acclimating to their environment and gaining trust with humans. The rhythmic sounds and companionship can bring a lot of comfort to felines in the shelter.

Would you like to read to some kitties? The Missoula Public Library is hosting the Bookmobile at AniMeals on Saturday, June 30th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Big Dipper Ice Cream also generously donated free ice cream cards for all readers to enjoy for this summer rendition of Bookmobile with AniMeals! Readers of all ages are welcome to join us in comforting the shelter cats of AniMeals! Children must be accompanied by an adult.

It's Wishlist Wednesday, and we need your help supporting our shelter cats and kittens in foster! 🐾

This week, AniMeals is in need of non-fish pate canned wet cat food for our shelter kitties. Fancy Feast poultry pate is preferred, as it is diabetic friendly. Our foster and in shelter kittens are also in need of corn-based litter or chicken feed crumbles, as well as kitten formula (Breeder's Edge or Shelter's Choice).
