Featured Cat of the Month
Ruby is our Featured Cat of the Month for March! We have chosen Ruby because she and her siblings came to Good Mews when they were 5 month old kittens and Ruby is now a year and a half, but she is still here! Her siblings were recently adopted, but nobody has picked Ruby yet.
OK, I will admit, Ruby wasn’t the sweetest kitten in the world when she arrived at Good Mews, so she was over-looked. But who can blame her? Ruby had every right not to trust us humans, so when she hissed and swatted at us, and told us to go away, we just quietly told her that we understood and tried to explain to her that we were not all alike.
You see, Ruby and her siblings were born outside and once they were old enough to run around and start caring for themselves, a not so nice person thought it would be fun to shoot at them with a BB gun! Well, Ruby and her siblings did not think that was fun and it scared them. And this made them very afraid and untrusting of humans. A volunteer saw what was going on and asked if they could come to Good Mews where it was safe. Thank goodness we had room, and we welcomed them with open arms!
All of these kittens were very scared and were over-looked on adoption days so they were not adopted as kittens. But the volunteers worked with them and they eventually gained our trust. They finally came to understand that not all humans are alike, that we love them and would never dream of hurting them! Ruby’s siblings have been adopted into wonderful homes, and now Ruby is praying that her forever home will come soon!
Ruby is a very sweet girl that is also very unique looking. She has a cute round body with a little tiny head. She is also very sweet and enjoys pets and also loves to play. Her favorite toys are feather toys and the laser light. One of her favorite things to do is to look out the window. Guests always make comments that they see her sitting on the bench, watching all the activity outside. So whoever adopts her has to have plenty of windows for her! Ruby gets along great with other cats, so she would like to go to a home with other kitty friends. Come by and meet Ruby soon!

Featured Kitty
Gypsy
Gypsy and Cinder were abandoned and Good Mews was able to take them in. As it turned out, Gypsy and Cinder did not like humans at all!!! And I don’t mean they just hissed at us and told us to go away. We could not even touch them, much less look at them! But we were not about to give up on these beautiful cats. They were worthy of a loving home, and we were going to provide that for them, no matter how long it took. So we called in a troop of experts and they dedicated their time working with them. It took awhile, but Gypsy and Cinder finally decided we weren’t so bad. They were moved to their own special room for a couple months so more volunteers could socialize with them and all the hard work paid off. These cats love people and love attention! Now they are seen out in the main shelter, playing with the other cats and seeking attention from the volunteers and visitors on adoption days.
As you can see, Gypsy is a very handsome boy and he also has a wonderful personality. He would do best in a home with another cat or two to play with. We would prefer that he does not go home to a family with dogs.
Cinder is a beautiful girl with golden eyes who is very loving and sweet. She is a bit shyer than Gypsy, so a quiet home would be best for her without any young children or dogs. She would need to go to a home with other cat friends.
Come meet these amazing cats soon!
