Million Meow Mission
I love my pets. They complete our family. Not only do I love them, I love how we came to have them as part of our family. Both our dog and our cat are rescue pets – and actually, all of our cats have been rescued from shelters. We think the best cats are from a rescue.
Adoption: The Cat Chooses The Family
Our pets are part of our family. Our Rosabeth (Rosie for short) is one of ours. She’s a Martin. We adopted her from a local shelter when she was 10-weeks-old and we have been so happy to have her here in our home. If I was telling the truth, I’d admit that Rosie adopted us. Every time we’ve adopted a cat, they’ve chosen us.
Operation Kitten Drop
Happy-ending adoption stories can and will happen across this country. There are so many-TOO MANY- great cats in shelters nationwide that are waiting for their fur-ever homes. I love this adoption success story called “Operation Kitten Drop” that was shared as part of Fresh Step’s Million Meow Mission, which is dedicated to improving the lives of shelter cats.: http://frsh.stp.io/E3HCZo.
The video tells the sweet story of a kitten named Clint. He was the very first cat in a shelter’s clever introduction of “Operation Kitten Drop” to connect kittens with foster families, and their final home. During the heat of kitten season, a shelter volunteer had her first kitten drop and she left the kitten on “Auntie Rachel’s” desk. Watch this story to see how it ends!
Fresh Step® Litter Million Meow Mission
“Operation Kitten Drop” is just one of the adoption stories as a part of Fresh Step’s Million Meow Mission, which is committed to helping cats find homes nationwide.
Back in its second year, the Million Meow Mission has already donated more than one million scoops of litter to shelters and Fresh Step has donated millions of dollars to animal welfare causes. Through caregiving, volunteering, donations, every act of kindness to shelter cats are a gift, and the Million Meow Mission is determined to provide that for every cat.
Paw it Forward with Million Meow Mission
The Million Meow Mission is all about helping cats in need, and we can help, too. Through Fresh Step’s Paw Points program, members can get involved and support the Million Meow Mission. Members can enter their Paw Points codes to show their support for shelter cats, and can donate those points to the shelter of their choice! In turn, shelters can use their Paw Points for free Fresh Step litter, cat necessities, care items, toys and more. To join the Million Meow Mission, visit the Million Meow Mission website. Each of us can help to find fur-ever homes and have a paws-itive impact on a shelter cat!

Love that your cat has been with you all for so long! We never owned a cat but hope to sometime in the near future.
Shauna says
We haven’t adopted any cats, but we have adopted two dogs from the shelter. I tell you, it is so heartbreaking to walk into the shelter and see so many animals in need of a loving home. Glad to hear there are companies giving back 🙂

Fresh Step is what we have always used. It masks the smell amazingly well. Our Mittens came to us as a battered 6 week old cat. She found us after someone threw her out of a moving car. My daughter nursed her back to health and by the time she was well enough to be adopted, our hearts were already lost to her!
Vera Sweeney says
I love what fresh strep is doing to help cats in shelters!! There are to many cats that need homes that get over looked.
Aubrey says
My daughter’s cat ran away and made her really sad. We should adopt a new one.
Janis @MommyBlogExpert says
What a beautiful tabby cat you have. There’s nothing like a stinky litter box, Fresh Step sounds like a good option to avoid that annoying smell.
Jennifer says
We have adopted every pet into our home. We definitely believe that adoption is the ONLY route to go. I love this campaign and what Fresh Step is doing for all of the kitties!
Liz Mays says
Hurray for helping cats find good homes! My daughter’s cat is a rescue and she’s very loving but can be timid around other cats.
Autumn @Mamachallenge says
I love reading adoption stories! We got our dog from my husband’s parents.
Ann Bacciaglia says
I have two cats we adopted from a shelter. They have been the best pets. The Million Meow Mission is a fantastic campaign.
lisa says
What a wonderful program! We added Mr. Cooper to our family within the first month of buying our first home!
Kelly says
We have two cats, Meep and Hazel which we rescued. I would rather rescue a pet any day!
Mary Larsen says
I love this. There is such need, but the cat needs to be a good fit for the family, and the family for the cat! Much needed post, thank you!
Jeanine says
Such cute kitties! We have used fresh step a few times in the past! I will have to try it now that we have 3 kitties!
Danielle says
We have pit bulls and because of the breed’s bad rep we have decided that all future pets we get will be adopted pit bulls. There are so many that are killed in shelters and we want to help all we can. We aren’t really cat people so dogs are the way we go.
Stacie says
I got my cats from our local shelter. These are the animals that need a home the most.
Meagan says
Look at that adorable cat! I’ve been begging my husband to let our son get a cat!
Seattle Travel Blogger says
I think it is great that this company has a focus on giving back.
I will have to tell my brother-in-law and his wife about this product; they have two cats.
Thanks!
Clo Nevaeh says
We love Fresh Step. We have 3 cats. One we got from the local shelter and the other two were sisters that we got from a friend when she found out she was pregnant.
Emerald says
I absolutely love this. Usually dogs get all the attention, but there are SO MANY cats in shelters!
Jeanette says
There are too many people in our family that are allergic to cats so we can’t have one, but this is a great cause and I’ll have to figure out a way that I can donate to it. The next time we get an animal we will be adopting from the pound also.
Shaun says
We have two cats – one is 9, who we got from a store (he picked us though) and a 6-ish month old kitten who was on her way to a shelter. I love our cats and agree that they are McGaheys through and through!

My Mother in Law uses Fresh Step and it always smells awesome in her house.
