Description

Hannah and some of her friends came to Good Mews from a shelter in Alabama. That shelter was shut down and some of their former volunteers contacted us and asked if we would be willing to take in some of their cats. They had 80 cats to place and were struggling to find placement or homes for all of them.  We feel it is important that all rescues need to work together so we were more than happy to help them.  We went to pick up the kitties and they did very well on their long trip back to Good Mews. Now we have promised all of them that we will find them a wonderful new home to call their own.

Hannah is a very sweet girl, but is still a little unsure of her situation. She has gone through a lot of changes in the past few months so she is still warming up to us. I know once she starts to feel more comfortable, she will come around. She is a beautiful girl and deserves to have a nice family of her own. Once we learn more about Hannah, we will give updates!

Update-Hannah is really coming around and enjoys people. She likes attention and loves for people to pet her. She is a very cute, petite girl! Hannah also adores other kitties and is often seem cuddling and grooming with Jeret or Bode. Come meet her soon. I know she is longing for a new home to call her own.

Description

As you can see Isabella is a gorgeous cat, but she has a lot of quirks and will require a very special adopter! She was returned after 5 years because her person wanted to travel and did not have the time that Isabella deserved. When Isabella came back to the shelter, she was very upset. She does not adjust well to change so we had to give her the space she needed until she calmed down. She does not get along with other cats, so she moved into her own special office! At times Isabella can be very loving and will crawl up in your lap to snuggle, but when she has had enough, she will let you know!
So whoever adopts Isabella will need to be very patient and let her adjust on her own terms. But we feel she is worth it. She may have her quirks, but that is what makes her so special and unique!
Isabella would love to have her own special person again, in her own home where she can explore, or be lazy and watch the birds out the window. If you think Isabella is the type of girl you are looking for, please come by and meet her!

Jeret is such a nice, quiet cat. I think in his past life he was a baker, because this sweetheart loves to make biscuits! As soon as you start petting Jeret, he starts making biscuits! He wants nothing more than for someone to love him. He likes it when people pet him and talk gently to him. He doesn’t ask for much..just love. So if you are looking for a quiet kitty to join your family, please come meet Jeret. I am sure he would be so happy to go home with you.

Description

When Creighton and Liberty were kittens, they were found by 2 young boys in a wall of a deserted building. They asked Good Mews if we could take them in, and we found room for them. The mother and boys came to visit Creighton and Liberty often and were very much in love with them. They eventually ended up adopting them.
They lived with their loving family for 3 years, then because of the economy, hard times fell on them and they made the difficult decision to return the 2 cats. This absolutely broke their hearts but they wanted the best for the kitties, which is a new home where they can be taken care of.
Of course, Creighton and Liberty are very confused as to why they are back at Good Mews. We explained to them that they did nothing wrong, and that their family loved them so much, they made the decision to let them go to a place that will take care of them until they find their forever home. Hopefully they will one day understand.
Creighton and Liberty are very bonded and must be adopted together.. Creighton is more outgoing than Liberty , and she is very protective over her brother. Both are very sweet, affectionate cats that are longing for a new home to call their own. If you are looking for two loving cats to join your family, please come meet these two beauties.

ADOPTED!!

Lindsey and some of her friends came to Good Mews from a shelter in Alabama. That shelter was shut down and some of their former volunteers contacted us and asked if we would be willing to take in some of their cats. They had 80 cats to place and were struggling to find placement or homes for all of them.  We feel it is important that all rescues need to work together so we were more than happy to help them.  We went to pick up the kitties and they did very well on their long trip back to Good Mews. Now we have promised all of them that we will find them a wonderful new home to call their own.

Lindsey is a darling girl that is a bit on the shy side. But who can blame her? She has been bounced around a lot in the past few months and she is ready to settle down in one place and relax! I think once she gets into a nice home with someone to shower her with affection, she will come out of her shell. Once we learn more about Lindsey, we will give updates!

Update: Well, Lindsey is starting to come out of her shell! She is now starting to feel safe with us and enjoys all the attention she gets! This sweetheart loves for us to pet her and she will roll over for belly rubs!  I think Lindsey will make a wonderful addition to most families. She is a total love-bug!

Gender

Age

Description

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!

MVP

Party Animal

Leader of the Band

MVP
I'm a savvy cat who knows the score. I'm pretty unflappable, too. I don't mind entertaining myself, but a human companion at the other end of the couch and a nice scratch behind the ears always make my day. If you're looking for a resourceful addition to your team, think about signing this Most Valuable Pussycat.

Party Animal
I'm a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits. I'd love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes. If you're looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me.

Leader of the Band
I'm a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle of things--I like to lead the parade. I'm an adventurous cat, but I'll still make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side. I'm the demonstrative type, you might say. Want a cat who's brimming with confidence? That's me.

The Executive

Sidekick

Personal Assistant

The Executive
I have to say, I'm a busy cat. First, I've got to check out what's happening out the window. Next, I'll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And then there are my naps--can't be late for those. I can fit a little socializing into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like kibbles.

Sidekick
Like all sidekicks, I'm just plain good company. I like attention, and I also like my solitude. I don't go looking for trouble, but I'm no scaredy-cat, either. If you are looking for a steady companion to travel with you on the road of life, look no further.

Personal Assistant
You're working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I'll hold the pages down for you. Watching TV? I'll just plop in your lap so you can pet me. I love an orderly household, don't you? I'll help you with all your chores, and I'll help you relax when we're done. You'll wonder how you ever managed without me.

Private Investigator

Secret Admirer

Love Bug

Private Investigator
I'm working undercover to keep an eye on you and your household. You may not even know you're under surveillance. I can vanish into thin air if anyone or anything interferes with my investigation. If you need a cat who knows how to stay out of trouble and will always keep your secrets, I just might take your case.

Secret Admirer
When it comes to relationships, I'm very level-headed. I don't leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I'll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me, but I'll be thinking a lot of you!

Love Bug
Do you seek affection? I do! If you also like petting, purrs, and paws kneading your lap, I think we might have a LOT in common. I'm looking for "someone who enjoys quiet times and togetherness." Could that someone be you?

Max

Good_Mews

Max came from Animal Control and went into a temporary foster home until rescue could be found. That is where he met his best friend Neil. They became fast buddies and Max looked out for Neil because Neil is deaf. When Good Mews took in Neil, Max was left without his buddy! That really depressed him so he totally stopped eating.  He just did not want to go on without his new buddy Neil. The foster home was very concerned about Max so they called Good Mews to see if we could take him as well. As it turned out, Neil was upset as well, so we rushed over and picked up Max. When the 2 boys saw each other, they were so happy. They rubbed on each other and kissed. There was not a dry eye in the shelter! So there is no way we will separate these 2 buddies again…a best friend only comes along once in a life-time.
Max is a beautiful boy with a big heart. If you are looking for 2 loving boys that will be the perfect family members, these are your guys!
