Description
Nina and her sister were abandoned years ago at the Fernbank. An employee was able to provide them with a loving home for several years, but she fell on hard times and recently lost her home. She contacted her friends at the Fernbank and asked if they were able to help. We were contacted and since we had room, we said we would be happy to help find these ladies a new home!
Nina is still a little unsure of her situation and does not understand why she lost her home. Right now she is very afraid. She has her own special room so volunteers can spend time with her so she can start trusting people. Nina is a beautiful girl, and I know in time she will come around. She deserves to have a home of her own again and I know all of our wonderful volunteers will work hard to help her and will not give up until this sweet girl learns to love people again!
Update-Nina has made a lot of progress in the past few months. She is still shy around strangers, but once she gets to know someone, she is a very loving kitty. She enjoys to be petted and her favorite thing is to be brushed. You can place her on your lap, or in front of you and brush her, and she will purr like she is in heaven! She will need a little time to adjust to a new home, but once she does and knows that her new person loves her, she will be the most loyal companion. Nina does enjoy the company of other cats, so she will need a home where another kitty or two lives

Description
Nutmeg came to Good Mews in January of 2007, and immediately took to hiding in cat trees, especially on busy adoption days. However, she has come a long way in overcoming her shyness. The Kitty Buddies (Good Mews volunteers who help shy cats get used to people) have really made a positive difference in Nutmeg’s life. She finally feels confident enough to venture out into the shelter, and on quiet days can now often be found in the main room instead of off in a corner. Nutmeg will need a quiet home and lots of love and patience to help her adjust, but will surely reward you with her faithful companionship! Come and meet her!
Because we feel it would be easier for Nutmeg to transition to a new home if she is with someone she is familiar with, she is required to be adopted with another Good Mews cat.
A generous donor has paid for Nutmeg’s adoption fee!

Description
Olivia was rescued from animal control right before she was scheduled to be euthanized! She is a very lucky girl and happy to be safe. She went into foster care until space was available at the shelter. She is a very sweet girl that enjoys the company of people and would love on her foster mom. She might be a little shy when she first gets to her new home, but will quickly come around. She loves to play with toys and her foster mom spoiled her with lots of yummy treats! Olivia enjoys watching the birds outside and sleeping in sunny, warm spots. She gets along with other cats and would love to have a best friend to snuggle up with. She also enjoys being petted and pampered. Come meet this little sweetie soon. She is longing for a home to call her own.
Update-Olivia is a quiet kitty that often kept to herself. She welcomed pets but never really initiated them. Well, that has all changed! Olive has become very social and loves attention from people. In fact, the other day I was sitting in a chair and Olivia jumped right up on my lap, put her paws on my shoulders and hugged me. I was so happy, I wanted to squeeze her with hugs! Olivia is an adorable girl that would love to have her own person so she can sit in their lap and cuddle. She will certainly make a wonderful companion!
—————————————————————
Olivia is FIV+, but don’t let that scare you! She is a very sweet cat that is hoping someone will pick her soon. She is very quiet on adoption days so she is often over-looked. But once in a quiet home, her true personality will certainly emerge. She loves people to pet her and will do the happy twirls when she gets attention.
FIV+ cats can live long and healthy lives. They can also live safely with FIV-negative cats. FIV is spread through severe bite wounds, so it is important that your kitties get along.
Olivia would do wonderful with other kitties. She is very sweet to her feline friends and would never dream of making them angry. She just wants to be everyone’s friend!

Description
Onyx is an independent little girl that can easily occupy herself, but she does love the company of other cats. She also loves the attention from people and has such a sweet-natured personality.
Onyx came to Good Mews as a kitten and quickly found a home. Sadly, she was recently returned for scratching on furniture. Scratching is a cat’s natural instinct, so Onyx was doing what all kitties do. We don’t know if she was supplied with the proper scratching posts or redirected elsewhere. We just know Onyx is very sad to be back at the shelter. We are hoping she finds a new home real soon. She will need a patient adopter who is willing to provide her with a lot of proper places to scratch and help train her if she scratches somewhere she shouldn’t. A cat shouldn’t be without a loving home because she scratches. So if you would like to meet this sweet girl that has so much to offer, stop by and ask for Onyx!

christopher
Christopher is a very sweet boy that was found as a stray in a neighborhood. A volunteer noticed he was missing part of his back leg, and to make matters worse, some other neighborhood strays were beating him up! She couldn’t stand to see this happening to him, so she asked if he could come to Good Mews. She took care of him until space was available, and now Christopher is at the shelter, waiting for his new forever home!
Christopher is a very nice boy who is also very affectionate. When you approach him, he will talk and talk, asking for attention. And having only 3 legs does not slow him down! Animals with 3 legs get around just as well as animals with 4 legs! Christopher is so happy to finally give up the life of living outdoors and to be safe indoors where he gets regular meals and a comfy bed to sleep in. Now to make his life complete, all he needs is a loving family.

Christopher is FIV+, but don’t let that scare you! He is a sweetheart of a kitty and would love to have a home where someone will love him forever.
FIV+ cats can live long and healthy lives. They can also live safely with FIV-negative cats. FIV is spread through severe bite wounds, so it is important that your kitties get along.
Christopher would do great as an only kitty, or with another laid back cat.
