Meet Cupcake

Last week an email about a kitty in need was frantically circulating over and over again. It made it all around the country in a couple of days!

Not an unusual sight in the world of rescue. With so many, part of our job of a small no-kill shelter is to determine who we can take in, who we have space for and who we have the financial means to take care of.

Here is a sample of the recent email:

On Christmas Eve a man brought this poor baby girl to the NEGAS shelter to be put to sleep. He had taken her to the vet and said he couldn’t keep he with her condition.. He said she was a stray and he would have kept her if she was not blind. She’s not just blind—she has no eyes! The vet thinks she was born that way. She is very very sweet and does pretty well getting around at the shelter.

She has started sneezing and is being treated. The shelter does not want to have to euthanize her. She is a very loving cat.

Please do not let this Christmas Cat die!

And so our story begins: Meet Cupcake!

Cupcake is a 6 month old kitty who doesn’t know she has any special needs. Not being able to see is all she has ever known and it doesn’t slow her down a bit.

An extremely affectionate girl, she loves to be held and will give you kisses the entire time. She enjoys her toys and likes to play with her tail!

Today Cupcake visited the eye specialist and we found out she does indeed have very underdeveloped eyes but not enough to give her any sight.
She needs to get a little bigger and older in order to have surgery and in about 4 months she will have her tiny eyes removed.

For now, Cupcake will be going to foster care and wait until she is ready for her surgery. When she is available we know she will be a very popular kitten.

Her spirit and zest for life is inspiring. Cupcake in spite of her rough beginning loves life and all of her new human friends.

Happy New Year!

As the year comes to an end, Good Mews is thankful for so many things.

In a year that has had it’s difficult times with the economy, foreclosures, etc. we have all seen new challenges. Everyday you can read a story about another homeless cat or dog due to the foreclosure crisis. We at Good Mews feel very lucky to be able to continue our mission and we couldn’t accomplish anything without your generous donations and time.

We would like to thank our donors, volunteers, adopters and everyone who has made our 20th year of carrying out our mission a success. Last weekend to end our “Home for the Holidays” campaign we sent home 14 cats!!

In November and December to celebrate the year’s end, we sent home 50 cats and kittens. Our goal for the holiday season was a bit more than that but we were lucky enough to send home some long term shy residents like Biloxi, Trixie and Aramis! Biloxi is the last of our rescue kitties from hurricane Katrina!
