MEOW Charity Thrift Shop

Supporting Homeless Cats in Calgary

Have you ever wanted to buy things from a thrift store AND support Calgary’s homeless cat population at the same time? You’re in luck because now you totally can! MEOW charity thrift shop is a second hand store operated by the MEOW Foundation which accepts donations of goods and sells them for cheap, using the money to support stray feral cats through their support programs, such as Trap Neuter Return. The MEOW Foundation is the only Calgary-wide, non-profit, no-kill cat rescue. They’re so cool that even Regal Cat Cafe uses their services for the rescue cats you can adopt from them.

MEOW Charity Thrift Shop is also run by volunteers! Apply now if you’re interested

What You’ll Find At MEOW Charity Thrift Shop

The shop may not be huge, like the warehouse sized thrift-shops, but it’s still well stocked with all sorts of well priced second-hand items. Accessories, books, board-games, toys, small kitchen and beauty appliances, and of course a good selection of glassware, china, and porcelain do-dads.

What will you not find there? Clothes. Aside from accessories like scarves and purses, you won’t find clothes here yet. Maybe it’ll be something they can accept and sell in the future, but for now it doesn’t look like they quite have the room and resources to handle taking on clothing. Understandably.

For the money, it’s worth the jaunt up Edmonton Trail. Interesting rotating stock, super reasonable pricing, and duh, you help cats.
