Finding good homes for good kitties…
Good Mews Happy Endings
One of our favorite things at Good Mews is to see our shelter cats in their forever homes! It reminds all of us why we do what we do everyday in our efforts of “finding good homes for good kitties.” We hope you enjoy reading all of our happy endings stories and seeing how great the cats are doing. We encourage all of you to send us your cats’ stories and photos to place on our website! Please email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with your happy endings!
Ellie's Happy Ending Story
Hello,
I just wanted to give you a happy ending story for your site. We received Ellie at @ age one from Good Mews 17 years ago and she has been an integral part of our family ever since. She went to be with our ferrets in Heaven yesterday and although we are heartbroken we are so thankful she was in our lives (and for so long!). She was almost 18 yrs old and has been through a lot with my husband and I. She has tolerated other pets well, two babies being born 5 and 8 years ago and various surgeries and health problems that my husband has had. No one was a stranger to her in our home (not even the plumber who she was happy to greet immediately and steal a “rub” from) and she was so easy-going we could run the vacuum cleaner right up to her side and she wouldn’t budge. We will miss her greatly but feel blessed to have shared a portion of our lives with such a great kitty. Thanks so much!

Myles' Happy Ending Story
Hello Good Mews
As you can see from the attached photos Myles has adjusted quite well since his February 6th adoption.
I did keep Myles & Jazz separated for two weeks. They have spent the past two weeks together & still have some problems, but I think they are doing well.
Have placed him in the cat carrier twice without any problems.
Myles is very energetic & curious about everything. Loves to play with his ribbon & bug toys & waking me up @ 4:30am! His favorite past time is watching the squirrels and birds on the deck.
Hopefully I will have a photo of Myles & Jazz together for the next update.

Dylan and Pollie's Happy Ending Story
Hi Good Mews!
Here is our happy ending;
Dylan and Ookie have been part of our family for almost four months now and as I sit and reflect, I can hardly remember NOT having these two kitties in our life! Ookie (formerly named Pollie) is spunky, brave, and very vocal if she’s needing attention.
Dylan is sweet, affectionate, and an absolute momma’s boy.
They get along very well with each other and are best friends; if they are in different rooms of the house, they will “meow” to find one another! Some of their favorite activities include climbing on top of the kitchen cabinets, gazing at the clouds through the skylight windows, and watching TV. Ookie and Dylan also love to play in the bathtub, chase the red laser dot, and of course, take lots of naps.
Thank you so much to all the caring staff at Good Mews for helping these kitties to become well-adjusted and great around people. Dylan and Ookie are wonderful kitties and we are so happy to have them!

moonpie
Moonpie 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.
Moonpie is a darling little girl with the most beautiful golden eyes. She makes me laugh because she craves attention and will come up to me and rub all over my hand and ask for pets, but if I give her too much attention, she will growl at me. I think she is just being silly and I know in time she will stop growling. She is just confused and probably doesn’t understand that all the love and attention I am trying to give her is a good thing. I am positive Moonpie will flourish to be a wonderful, affectionate kitty. I can already see it in her.
