February is Cat Appreciation Month, so be sure to give your kitty extra attention and toys this month! Of course, we know that in cat households, it’s ALWAYS Cat Appreciation month!
Also consider celebrating this special month by adopting a new cat (or two with our February special!). All of our kitties would really appreciate a new home!
If you are unable to adopt, how about joining our Kitty Keeper program by sponsoring one of our shelter residents? For more information about being a Kitty Keeper, click here

Grant from the Doris Day Animal Foundation!
Good Mews Animal Foundation is proud to announce the award of a $5,000 grant from the Doris Day Animal Foundation. This grant is specifically targeted toward our Golden Companions program, and provides the funding to waive the fees for our senior cats that are adopted by senior citizens. In addition, this grant also assists with the funding of the HALO costs relating to our senior cats in the HALO program. The Doris Day Animal Foundation strongly supports the benefits of the companionship that senior cats can provide to senior citizens, a position also strongly supported by Good Mews.
So if you are a senior citizen, age 65 or older, all adoption fees are waived if you adopt one of our special feline senior citizens. They will bring you many years of comfort and love. Or if you know a special senior, maybe a grandparent or other older relative or friend, consider bringing them in to meet our older kitties. Our Golden Companion kitties would like nothing more than a Home for the Holidays! Please meet our Golden Companions under the Adopt tab, Golden Companions. And a very special thank you to the Doris Day Animal Foundation for their support of this program.

Featured Cat of the Month
Nutmeg has lived at Good Mews for 8 years, since she was abandoned as a kitten. That’s longer than any of our other cats. So we think it is time she found her loving, forever home. For this reason, we made Nutmeg the featured cat for February. We hope a special someone out there will read this and open their heart and home to her.
Nutmeg is a beautiful calico, and can most often be found in the main room of the shelter where the action is. However, she likes to watch the action from up high, rather than participate. Therefore, visitors rarely get to meet her on adoption days. After everyone leaves, when it is quiet, she will venture down to the floor, but then it is too late to meet potential adopters.
Many of the Kitty Buddies (volunteers who spend time with the shy kitties) have made friends with Nutmeg. Once she gets to know you, she is no longer skittish around you, and welcomes pets and scratches and attention from humans. Because of this, we believe she would blossom in a quiet home environment where she could bond with her people. She would need to be given time and patience to adjust. Nutmeg was adopted once, but hid under the bed and wouldn’t come out. Her adopter was worried about her and brought her back to Good Mews. So she will need someone who can be patient with her, spend lots of quiet time with her, and wait for her to build up trust for her humans.
Nutmeg loves feline companionship, and can often be found cuddled in a cat bed with another cat. So she must have at least one or two feline friends that she can be buddies with in her new home. Because we feel it would be easier for Nutmeg to transition to a new home if she is with someone she is familiar with, she is required to be adopted with another Good Mews cat. She really likes Lucy and Linus if you anyone is up for three kitties! Please come meet Nutmeg soon, if you think you have the right home for her!

Lucy
Lucy and Linus were abandoned at a vet’s office. If we had to guess, perhaps their family could no longer care for them and thought it would be best to abandon them somewhere safe. But since they can not tell us the real story we will never know. They lived at the vet’s office and when space was available, Good Mews said they could come to the shelter so we could help find them a new home.
Lucy and Linus are a very bonded pair that must stay together. Lucy is a little more outgoing than Linus, and he is very dependent on her. Linus is shy and feels more comfortable when Lucy is around. They really are a darling pair. We will often see them cuddled up together, grooming each other or just napping, with their arms wrapped around each other. I don’t think there is anything sweeter than a pair of cats that love each other. If you are looking for a quiet pair, please come meet Linus and Lucy!
