My name is Lainie and yes, there is a look of sadness in my eyes. Let me explain why. My surroundings haven’t always been ideal. You see, I was rescued from a hoarder so as you can imagine, life has been challenging. I’ve never really had a safe place to call home or lived with people who gave me individual attention. As a result, I’m very shy. Please don’t count me out though! If you’ll just put your faith in me, I’ll do the same in return. With patience, lots of extra attention, and socialization, I’m certain I can adjust to (and even enjoy) having a stable forever home especially with my best friend Brendan!
Good Mews is very excited to announce we will be the first shelter in Georgia to roll out the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match Feline-ality™ Program. We plan to have it up and running by late summer!

Meet your Match for felines was introduced by the ASPCA® in 2007. The launch of Feline-ality™ in 2007 is the latest addition to the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™ constellation of adoption programs that include research-based animal behavior assessments—all aimed at increasing adoption rates, and reducing return rates at shelters, thus combating the problem of pet overpopulation in shelters today.
According to the ASPCA®, “the key to developing successful adoptions lies in making good matches between adopters and pets, thus creating lasting bonds,” said Dr. Emily Weiss, the ASPCA’s senior director of shelter behavior programs, and researcher of ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™. “Feline-ality™ is a tool that does precisely this; and everyone—adopters, shelter staff, and most of all, the cats—benefits from the program.”
Meet Your Match™ is a program of ASPCA®.
