Description
Ashley lost his home when his guardian was financially unable to care for him anymore. She thought it would be best if he was able to go to a new home where he could be cared for and she had his best interest at heart. Ashley is a very friendly fellow but can be a little moody at times. But that is OK..I think we all get moody, don’t we? Why should cats be any different? Ashley is also a curious kitty and likes to know what is going on. He likes to sit and talk to his person and has an affectionate side. I think Ashley is an interesting kitty and would make a fun companion. He would make a wonderful only cat if you are looking for a cool guy to hang out with.
Update-The more I get to know Ashley, the more I love him! He loves people and his favorite thing to do is crawl up onto your shoulder (and it doesn’t matter how he gets there! He will crawl up the front of you or the back of you!) and sit there. He loves to sit on you so if you want a lap kitty, Ashley is for you. He also has a hair fetish. He loves to lick people’s hair! Ashley is just a funny guy and I adore him. He would make a wonderful companion and fun company. He is also very beautiful.
A generous donor has paid for Ashley’s adoption fee!

Beautiful Audrey was abandoned in a cat colony in an empty Kroger
parking lot in Kentucky. One day she just appeared under the bushes
where the colony feeding stations were. For several weeks, she would
just meow and meow and then one day she decided that she was ready to
jump in the caretaker’s car and hitch a ride out of that place on her
lap! The caretaker was very relieved to get her home just in time for
Thanksgiving. Audrey and her caretaker turned foster mom were both
quite thankful indeed!
Audrey is just as elegant and stunning as her movie star namesake! And
she is just as sweet too. Audrey simply wants her own person to love
her forever. She settled right into her foster home without fear or
worry. And she is amazingly calm and well behaved during vet visits.
Audrey is definitely a lap cat and her favorite place to be is on
someone’s chest. She will place her paws right on your chest and tuck
her head under your chin. She can’t be bothered with toys….she
prefers people to anything else! Audrey loves her perches and beds by
the window, but she has no desire to ever be back outside again.
This precious little lady would be happiest as the queen of the house.
She tolerates her multiple kitty roommates, but she would prefer to
have her person all to herself….or share with one other kitty.
Audrey is simply a purrfectly wonderful, loving girl and we can’t
imagine how anyone could have parted with her!!

Description
Bear and his siblings were born outside and lived their first several weeks on the porch of an abandoned home. Then one evening the kittens ventured over to the house next door to play on the deck. Lucky for them the house belonged to a Good Mews volunteer who got them indoors and fostered them until there was room at the shelter.
Bear is the quietest and most laid back of the litter until it comes to treat time. At the sound of the bag, Bear is front of center and will even try to steal from one of his brothers. Bear’s favorite toys are little mice and catnip pillows. He loves to chase and throw his toys around and when he’s done he likes nothing more then to snuggle under a blanket for a nap. Bear can be intimidated by new situations but with some time and patience he settles right in.

Description
Good Mews got a call one day from some employees at Pike’s Nursery. They had found two newborn kittens in a truck and didn’t know what to do with them. They called us and we said we would be right over to pick up the babies. A horrible thunder storm was brewing and we needed to get these two babies to safety. We saw mama cat, but she was frightened and would not come to us. We didn’t want to leave her behind and we wanted to reunite her with her babies. So a trap was set and fingers were crossed.
The next day the employees called and said mama cat was in the trap! We went to pick her up and reunited her with her babies. Sadly, mama cat had not been around people in a long time and had been living outside, fending for herself, so she was a bit weary of us. The little family went to foster care until the babies were weaned. Mama cat was named Bellona.
Bellona is still a bit weary of people and is still learning to trust us. We have a lot of people working with her at the shelter and she is really starting to respond. Hopefully in time she will gain our trust and not be so nervous. She really is a beautiful girl and deserves the chance at a good life.
She is going to take some time to adjust to a new home, but some people really love the challenge of working with shy cats because they know once they gain that cat’s trust, it is the most rewarding experience. I don’t think Bellona is an exception. She just needs someone willing to work with her.
Bellona must be adopted into a home with another cat or cats because she watches them and learns off of them.
I will give updates as she progresses!

Big Boy came to Good Mews when his guardian had to enter a nursing home. This was very confusing for Big Boy because he had such a loving home for so long! But we are glad that Big Boy was able to come to Good Mews and we promised him we would find him a new loving home.
Big Boy is a senior, but you wouldn’t know it! I often see him playing and wrestling with some of our younger kitties! This beautiful boy loves people and would make a wonderful companion.
He would do well in a home with other cats, but he would also be happy as an only cat, as long as you promise to play with him!

Description
The “Berries” had a rough start in life. They were living on their own with no human contact, which is very important for small kittens. If they are not socialized when they are very young, it can take them awhile before they start to trust humans. We rescued this adorable bunch and placed them in foster care so they could be socialized. They made great progress and are now at the shelter, where they can be exposed to more people and hopefully find their forever home. They will need a very patient adopter who is willing to work with them and give them all the time they need. Once they feel safe in their home, all the work will be well worth it.
Blackberry does enjoy being loved on and she will purr and squirm for more. She is a very sweet girl that would love a forever home where someone will spend a lot of time loving on her.

Description
Boo is a little nervous it will take her a long time to find a new forever home because she is black and a senior; two characteristics that some people are not interested in when adopting a cat. I told Boo when she introduces herself to people, they will see her wonderful personality shine through. Just because she is a senior, it doesn’t mean she lies around all day sleeping. She is very active and loves to play and her favorite thing is to cuddle up with her people. She is especially fond of being brushed and requires her beauty sessions often!
Boo was returned to Good Mews when she was not doing well with the young child in the home. She is hoping someone special will come through the door and fall in love with her charming personality. Boo would do best in an adult only home or with older children.
