Description
Samantha and her sister Louise were adopted from a shelter when they were kittens and a year later their person moved and left them behind. They stayed on the balcony waiting for their person to return for them, but she never did! Neighbors felt sorry for them so they fed them and 9 long years went by. When a Good Mews volunteer living in the area found out about it she was able to bring them to the shelter when space was available.
Louise was very forgiving of her situation and loved people; Samantha, not so much! She was very unhappy that her person up and left her and decided humans were not her thing! We tried to tell her not all humans are alike, but she is still thinking on this.
Louise had a lot of medical issues and although Good Mews did everything we could for her, she is now at the Rainbow Bridge .
We are proud to say Samantha has come a long way from where she was when she first came to the shelter. She is starting to gain our trust and realizing we are not all that bad. She still has a little ways to go, but in time, I know she will come around.
I don’t think Samantha will ever be a lap cat (but hey, you never know!), but if you are just looking for someone to share your home with and have someone to talk to and listen to how your day went, Samantha is your girl.. She is a great listener and would love to hear your problems and I bet when you are done telling her about them, you will feel a lot better!
Samantha also enjoys the company of other cats, so she would like to be in a home with some feline friends!

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.
Sammy is a very sweet boy but still a little scared right now. He is confused as to why he lost his home and is now somewhere he has never been before. But I am sure once he starts meeting some new friends he will become more comfortable. Sammy would love to go home with one of his friends he came in with. It would probably make it easier for him when he transitions to his new home. Come meet his cute boy soon!

Description
Sampson was rescued from a hoarding situation, where he had to compete for human attention. He has adjusted well to his temporary home at Good Mews, and can be seen out front spending time with people or the other cats. He does love attention!
Sampson is a beautiful orange kitty with a big bushy tail and exotic-looking stripes! He is very playful and could be amused with a feather toy or laser pointer for hours! He is such a fun cat. Sampson also loves other cats so he is seeking a home where he can have some pals to play with.
Sampson does tend to get nervous in new environments and it may take him a little time to adjust in a new home, but once he does, he is an awesome cat!

ADOPTED WITH SADIE!
Scotty 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.
Scotty is such a cute boy with the most unique orange-brown eyes. They really are very beautiful. Scotty is very friendly and loves people and attention. I think anyone would be lucky to have this cutie become a part of their family. He seems very curious and likes to watch what is going on around him. One thing I did notice, when he first came to Good Mews, he acted like he did not like to have his picture taken! Every time I tried to take his picture, he would get up and turn his back on me, then glance over his shoulder to see if I went away! I told Scotty he was too cute to not have his picture taken! Check back for updates on Scotty once we learn more about him!

ADOPTED!!!
Silver was a stray cat living outside. A volunteer noticed she had a terrible eye injury so when space became available at Good Mews she was able to enter our foster program. Her injury was so bad her eye had to be removed. But that did not take anything away from Silver’s beauty. She is still a gorgeous girl! Once she healed she came to the shelter. But unfortunately Silver is a very shy girl so she is over-looked on adoption days. When she first came to the shelter nobody could touch her, but she has made a lot of progress! If you walk slowly towards her, you are able to gently pet her. I know she enjoys this, because she will not run and sometimes she purrs. Because she is so shy she will require a very patient family who will give her all the time she needs. But I know she will come around. And I think she will be well worth the wait. Cats like this also deserve loving homes. Even if you can’t pick them up and cuddle with them, it is still such a joy to sit back and watch them play with their other kitty friends, or watch them sit in a window and watch the birds, or just watch them peacefully sleep in a comfortable bed.. Because you know they are safe and happy, it makes you happy. I know watching my shy cat in these situations puts a big smile on my face…and I think if someone took Silver home, and sat and watched how happy she was in her own home, she would put a big smile on their face as well. So please come meet Silver soon. She loves other cats so she must go to a home with other feline friends!
**Update-Silver is making a lot of progress! When the shelter is quiet, she is starting to approach people and will ask to be petted! She really enjoys this and even does the “elevator butt”! I think once she is in a quiet home and with a lot of patience, she will be a wonderful companion!

Description
Smudge is named for the cute little “smudge” of color under her nose. She came to Good Mews when her family moved away and left her behind! How anyone could leave this darling girl behind is beyond us! But thank goodness she was able to come to Good Mews where she is safe and loved.
Smudge has been at the shelter for 5 years. We have no idea why she has been here so long because everyone comments on how sweet and beautiful she is. She can always be found out in the main area, greeting visitors when they come in and overseeing all of the activity, but yet she has never been chosen to go home! We can’t figure it out! She loves laps, and will likely crawl into yours if you sit down near her. She gets along great with other cats, but she would also make a great only cat. To us, she is purr-fect! Come by and meet Smudge soon. We are hoping she will find her forever home soon!

Description
Snickers was rescued from a hoarding situation. He has had a confusing life, and that has made him a little shy. But Snickers is one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet! As soon as you place your hand on him, he starts to purr. He loves people, but since he has spent so little time with them, he tends to be unsure when someone approaches him. However, once he realizes you are there to spend time with him, he becomes very happy.
Shy cats are often over-looked at the shelter, which is very sad, because once they are in a home and time is spent with them, they flourish! They can turn into the most loving, outgoing cats! All’s they are asking for is a chance and a little time.
If you are looking for a sweet, loving cat, come by and meet Snickers. I promise you, with a little time, he will be the perfect cat!
