About Us

Our Story

It's Meow or Never Animal Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded by Madonna Stewart and actor/model Michael Elan in 2003. As an active cat-rescuer, Michael and Madonna have successfully trapped, altered, and released hundreds of cats -- usually those in cat colonies made up of ferals and strays.

They both believe that cat rescue is not a hobby, but more a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Both Madonna and Michael have dedicated much of their spare time caring for homeless cats, funding their food and medical care out of pocket.

Through vital donations to It's Now or Never Animal Sanctuary, Madonna and her team of dedicated volunteers are able to care for more animals. We soon hope to purchase land and build a facility to provide expanded rescue services to these animals in dire need.

At It's Meow or Never Animal Sanctuary, we are:

  • raising funds to open a sanctuary/adoption center
  • funding spay, neuter, testing and vaccinations
  • feeding and providing shelter to feral and stray cats
  • adopting animals to loving, forever homes
  • and providing helpful resources to animal enthusiasts and pet owners.
