Description

Belinda and Provolone make the perfect couple. Yes, she is a bit older than him, but there is nothing wrong with being in love with a younger man, or an older woman!
How did these two love-birds meet? I will tell you:
Belinda was adopted from the shelter when she was a kitten. A few years later, she was returned to Good Mews. She was so depressed she had to be force-fed.  She did not understand why she lost her home, so she did not want to go on living. But we were not going to let her die! So we fed her by hand, and gave her tons of love and told her not to worry, life would get better!
Provolone also came to the shelter as a kitten. He was the shyest kitten in his litter. He watched all his siblings go to forever homes, but nobody ever picked him. Before he knew it he was removed from the kitten room and placed in the shelter with the big kitties. So he made the best of it and tried to make friends. Then one day he saw a sad kitty sitting all alone. He went to comfort her and soon Belinda was back to her happy self. She found someone to love.
These 2 are always found together, snuggling. Lots of times we will see Provolone lying right on top of Belinda, I don’t know how she breaths. But she is not bothered by it.
Both are a little shy, but still love people. Once you start to pet Belinda she begins to purr…and she has the loudest purr!!  Provolone is a very sweet boy and is starting to enjoy people petting him and showering him with affection. He feels more comfortable when he is with Belinda and will allow you to hug and kiss him, as long as she is around. They are seeking a quiet home together. If you are looking for 2 extremely bonded cats, please come meet this couple!

Description

Remax and Raleigh are two beautiful cats that were returned to Good Mews when their family could no longer care for them. They have been together their entire lives and are very bonded. They would be lost without each other, so they are seeking a home together.
Neither of these kitties likes to be picked up or held, but they do love a lap to sit on! When you are sitting down, they do not hesitate to jump up on your lap and curl up for a good nap. They also enjoy sleeping with their family at night. One of their favorite things is to be brushed; they will purr up a storm with delight!
Remax is a very vocal boy and if you are not up early enough to feed him breakfast, he will let you know! He is also very playful and loves the laser light and other toys.
Raleigh is a very sweet girl but is a bit shyer than her brother. When strangers come over, she will hide until everyone goes home. But that is not usual. A lot of cats are like that! Both kitties will need time to adjust in their new home, but I think once they feel comfortable, they will make wonderful companions!
They would do best in quiet home with older children or no children. They would also do well with mellow dogs.
Please come meet this sweet pair soon!

Description

Ricky is a very energetic boy who likes to stay busy. His lanky body and his ear that points to one side are indicative of his mischievious personality! He and his brothers, Angelo and Sergio, came to Good Mews as kittens over 3 years ago. They are all such wonderful cats and we at Good Mews love them, but because they are all black, instead of lots of pretty colors, they are often overlooked on adoption days. We hope someone who wants a playful, lively cat will come and meet Ricky soon! He would be happiest in a home with another young feline friend to play with. Perhaps one of his brothers, Angelo or Sergio could go home with him!

Description

Sammy, Penny, Mark and Rose came to us from a heartbreaking situation. They lived in North Georgia with a couple that had many animals that they loved very much. The man is disabled and his wife just recently lost her job. Because they had so many animals and very little income coming in, they were unable to provide adequate food and shelter for them. We heard about the situation and offered to help out. Hopefully we will be able to find these sweet babies a new home soon.

Rose is a gorgeous girl that is also one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet. She is a big talker and has a lot to say! I bet she is saying “Hey, take me home! I am fun girl! You will love me and we will be best pals forever!” Come meet Rose soon. I bet she won’t be here long!

Description

Poor Ruby’s life did not start out pleasantly! Her and her siblings were born outside and once they were old enough to run around, a not so nice person decided to shoot at them with a BB gun!! Imagine how scared they were! Thank goodness a volunteer found out what was going on and rescued them and Good Mews fortunately had space to take them in. When they first got here, they wanted nothing to do with us..and I sure don’t blame them! I am sure they had nightmares every time they closed their little eyes.
But with some time and patience, they realized not all people were their enemies..that they can be loved..and we sure love them both!

Ruby is a darling girl that has really come along way. She used to be real hissy, but who can blame her? But now that she has learned to trust people, she has become very outgoing. Ruby loves to play with feather toys and is always the first one around when someone brings a toy out to play. Another one of her favorite things to do is sit and look out the window. Guests often comment that they always see her sitting on the bench, looking out the window. So Ruby would love to have a home with plenty of windows to look out of, so she can watch the birds and squirrels. Ruby gets along great with other cats, so she would make a wonderful addition to most families!

ADOPTED WITH SCOTTY!

Sadie is a sweet girl that is very playful. She is also very affectionate and loves to curl up in your lap for pets and some loving. One of her favorite things to do is to look out the window and watch the birds.
Sadie is very grateful to be safe and warm right now because she came from a scary place. Someone found her in Red Top Mountain, living in a cage made out of chicken wire. She lived there for 3 months before someone was able to take her in. The person that rescued her was unable to keep her so she asked Good Mews if we could find Sadie a family love her. We felt so sad about the situation Sadie came from, we said we would be happy to find this lovely girl a home!

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

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?

Evan

Good_Mews

Evan and some of his 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.

Evan hasn’t let all the changes in his life get him down! He is a very personable young man that is looking forward to meeting new people and kitty friends. He loves attention and he is quite the character! He loves pets and belly rubs and loves to play. He would make a wonderful addition to most families! We will give more updates on Evan once we learn more about him!
