Description
Billie Holiday and Nina Simone are two beautiful cats that can’t wait to find their new home.
Billie and Nina 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!
Billie is a very sweet, quiet girl that wants nothing more than a new family to call her own. She loves people and enjoys being brushed and cuddled. She doesn’t seek out attention at the shelter, which means she is overlooked on adoption days. But when people spend time with her, she really enjoys it. She is a gorgeous cat that would make a wonderful companion. She really misses having a loving home with a normal family routine. I know if she could have a family again she would be so happy. Is there anyone out there that can make this sweet girl’s dream come true?

Braxton and his friends are our rescued kitties from Pennsylvania. The ASPCA contacted us and asked if we would be willing to assist in taking in some cats that were rescued from a sanctuary there. We said of course we could help!
The ASPCA and the Elk County Humane Society in PA rescued nearly 400 cats from the sanctuary. The cats were found living in deplorable conditions on the first floor of a two-story building outside of Pittsburg. Several people assisted in the care of the cats and over 50 were transported to Georgia. Good Mews was able to take in 12. On the 4th of July we went to pick up our cats at the Atlanta Humane Society and brought them to their temporary home until permanent loving homes can be found.
You would think after everything these kitties have been through they would be weary of humans, but they are the sweetest angels you will ever meet. They purr when you pet them; some will even hug you. They were so excited when we placed them in their intake cages and they saw their comfy bed and food and water, they were purring up a storm!
We are so thrilled and honored to be able to help these cats and can’t wait to learn more about their personalities. They have been through so much in their lives and they deserve a loving home. We can’t wait to find those homes for them. But until then, we are going to enjoy having them with us. Please come by and meet them!
We will give updates as we learn more about them!
Update-Braxton was a very scared little boy when he first came to us. He was sick and because he was not feeling well, he did not feel comfortable with us. Now that he is feeling better, he is starting to enjoy our company and will come up to us, asking for attention. He likes it when we pet him and play with him. He is a darling little fellow and once he finds his forever home, he will flourish.

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?

Carson and his friends were rescued from Paulding County Animal Control. When we heard they were closing due to renovations and all the animals had to be out of the shelter within 2 weeks or they would be euthanized, we knew we had to help! We rushed right over there and pulled as many cats as we were able. We sure wish we could have helped them all, but Good Mews can only have so many cats in the shelter at one time. But the kitties we did get are all wonderful, beautiful babies that we hope to find new homes for soon! Since they came from animal control we do not know their history. They could have had a loving home at one time and lost it for some reason and are now wondering why in the world they are being bounced around from shelter to shelter! Or they could have been a stray cat living on the street wondering where their next meal would come from. But what we do know is that all of these kitties are now safe with us and will be well taken care of and loved until we can find them a new home and once we do, they will never have to worry about losing it again, and ending up back in a shelter or on the streets.
Carson looks a little rough right now and if I had to guess, I bet he has never had a loving home before and has lived his whole life outside, taking care of himself. Imagine living your whole life, all alone, with no one to love you or to take care of you. I am sure Carson was very lonely. Well, all of that is about to change! Carson is no longer alone, because he now has us. We are going to take good care of him and tell him every day that he is loved. And I bet Carson will soon start to look and feel so much better. I know there is a beautiful boy in there just waiting to emerge! And then the next wonderful thing that will happen to him will be his first forever home where he will have a loving family to call his own! And I know then Carson will feel like he is on top of the world!
Update-Carson is starting to look and feel so much better. This fellow is just so cute and sweet. Poor Carson had terrible ear mites when he lived outside and it hurt him so bad, he kept clawing at his ear and mangled it! So now his ear is really small. But that is OK..it just makes him look even more handsome in my eyes. He is now free of ear mites and I know he is so happy to be out of pain! Carson loves people and will quickly crawl up into a lap to snuggle and take a nap. He enjoys his beautiful gray fur to be brushed and it relaxes him so much it puts him to sleep! Carson just can’t wait to find a special home to call his own. He would do great as an only cat, that way he can get all the attention, or he would do fine in a home with one or two other laid back cats. Please come meet this special boy soon!

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.

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.
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!

Description
Claire was rescued from Henry County Animal Control when she was pregnant and gave birth in her foster home. She was a terrific mom to her 5 kittens. She is a very sweet girl that can be held in your arms like a baby for short periods of time and will often pat your face with her paw or give you nose kisses when in this position. She also loves to snuggle next to you on the couch and will occasionally sit on your lap. Claire was very protective of her kittens but now that they are ready for their own homes, I think she’d be great either by herself or with just one other cat. She definitely needs to be the kitty who “rules the roost”. Claire is also great around young children.
Please come meet this sweetheart soon. She is a lovely girl that is longing for her own forever home!
