Description

Bode 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.

Bode is a very pretty young lady but she is still unsure of her situation. We always wish cats could talk so we can understand what has happened to them and why they are so upset. But I know in time, once Bode becomes more comfortable, she will relax, and start to understand nothing bad will ever happen to her again. And we promised her we will find her a loving home where she will be showered with affection! She sure deserves that. Once we learn more about Bode, we will give updates!

Description

Bongo is a sweet, shy girl who we all wish could find a home to call her own. You see, Bongo does not know what a “home” is.  “Home” to Bongo is the shelter. She came to Good Mews as a kitten in 2003 and has never been adopted. The only family she has ever known is the staff and volunteers at Good Mews. We all love her dearly, but our only wish is for her is to have her own family to love her. She deserves to have her own windows to look out of and watch the birds, a big bed to jump up in at night so she can cuddle with her special person, and someone to look her in the eyes at the end of the day and say “I love you”.
Because Bongo is so special, her family is going to have to be special. They are going to have to accept Bongo for who she is. She will take a while to adjust to her new home but with a lot of patience and understanding, I know Bongo will flourish!

Description

Bud and his sister Taylor came to Good Mews when their family lost their home. Bud is one of the most beautiful cats you will ever see. He is a little shy right now, but will easily come around when he knows he has a loving family again. I guess if I lost the only home I had ever known, I would be a little wary too!  He gets along great with other cats and is seeking a home with a family that loves him and some kitty friends to pal around with! Will you be the one to brighten Bud’s day?

Description

Gypsy and Cinder were abandoned and Good Mews was able to take them in. As it turned out, Gypsy and Cinder did not like humans at all!!! And I don’t mean they just hissed at us and told us to go away. We could not even touch them, much less look at them! But we were not about to give up on these beautiful cats. They were worthy of a loving home, and we were going to provide that for them, no matter how long it took. So we called in a troop of experts and they dedicated their time working with them. It took awhile, but Gypsy and Cinder finally decided we weren’t so bad. They were moved to their own special room for a couple months so more volunteers could socialize with them and all the hard work paid off. These cats love people and love attention! Now they are seen out in the main shelter, playing with the other cats and seeking attention from the volunteers and visitors on adoption days.
As you can see, Gypsy is a very handsome boy and he also has a wonderful personality. He would do best in a home with another cat or two to play with. We would prefer that he does not go home to a family with dogs.
Cinder is a beautiful girl with golden eyes who is very loving and sweet. She is a bit shyer than Gypsy, so a quiet home would be best for her without any young children or dogs. She would need to go to a home with other cat friends.
Come meet these amazing cats soon!

Color

Date of Birth

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.

Description

Drifter is a beautiful white cat with yellow eyes. And not only is he beautiful, he is very sweet! Drifter was found wandering around a volunteer’s apartment complex and the volunteer couldn’t stand seeing this beautiful boy living outside in the cold, so he brought him inside. The volunteer posted signs everywhere, but nobody stepped up to claim poor Drifter! It is apparent he had a home at some point, because he looked well taken care of, but I guess nobody was looking for him. After a couple of months of looking for Drifter’s family, the search was called off and Drifter came to Good Mews to find a new family.

Drifter is a little confused as to what is going on. He lives with a family, he is wandering around outside in the cold, he is living with another family, and now he is at the shelter! That is a lot for this young boy to digest in such a short period of time! So now we are on a mission to find Drifter a permanent home to call his own! He is a very sweet boy that loves to be petted, and to get your attention he will give head-butts. He loves snuggling down in his cat bed, so he will require a cozy bed in his new home! Please come meet Drifter soon!

Update-Drifter is one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet!! And not only is he super sweet, he is absolutely gorgeous! He loves to be held and will snuggle up into you. If you sit on the floor, he loves to lie in your lap. This boy wants nothing but love and affection. Anyone would be lucky to have him as part of their family. What an awesome cat he is!!

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?
