Shannon and Heather's Happy Ending Story
Hi! I adopted Shannon and Heather on Dec. 27th. They are doing quite well, mostly, still a few problems with Heather hissing at Shannon…
though sometimes she is affectionate with her. Anyway, here are a few pictures. I’m not a great photographer, but hope these will help.
Thanks,

Mopsy and Bogart's Happy Ending Story
Where do I start?
Hours were spent on the Good Mews website, viewing and reviewing the various adoption choices; so many to choose from. Well, on 21st June, d-day, we were up early, and headed to Good Mews to adopt Mopsy (now called Sophie) and Bogart.
I knew going to Good Mews would cause heartache and pain. Why? Because we knew there would be so many choices, in addition to the two we were attached to, and had not even met yet. Honestly, how can one really choose? I believe, and this is just my belief, people choose animals based on their own personalities. Sophie is so fitting to Christie, showing affection, and love 24/7. Now, Bogart is such a clone to Ivan. He’s observant, laid back, and just plain ole’ cool! How weird is that, that we choose kittens so alike to ourselves?
The whole process was a breeze, an experience I would recommend to anyone…
In the week anticipating the kitten(s) getting here, we bought a decent camera. Believe me, it’s constantly getting used.
Below…
...you will see a photo of the ‘happy ending times 2’. Sophie and Bogart (respectively), are doing VERY well. They have even been to their first doctors visit. Just a check-up/check in to make sure all is/was well. And, we’re glad to say, it is.
So, all this to say, thanks for the service of adoption that you offer.

Baltamore a.k.a. Bella's Happy Ending Story
Bella (Baltimore) has been doing so well! She gets braver every day. These are a few pictures taken over the last year and few months. She has become quite the lap cat and loves to cuddle with me, familiar people, and, expecially, my dog, Roxie. I thought this would be a good way to show you how she is doing. If you are not familiar with picture gallery, the link, Pictures
will ask you to create your own login and password. Then you may view the slideshow. I have had trouble trying to email pics to the shelter in the past, so I thought I would try this. Enjoy!

George
George was rescued as a stray and is a very sweet boy. He is quiet and laid back and can be a bit shy until he knows you. He enjoys the company of other cats and gets along well with them. He was a bit overwhelmed at first with the shelter environment so we made him part of our kitty buddy program which helps to get our kitties more socialized and feeling comfortable with different people!
Meet Your Match
Good Mews is very excited to announce we will be the first shelter in Georgia to roll out the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match Feline-ality™ Program. We plan to have it up and running by late summer!
Meet your Match for felines was introduced by the ASPCA® in 2007. The launch of Feline-ality™ in 2007 is the latest addition to the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™ constellation of adoption programs that include research-based animal behavior assessments—all aimed at increasing adoption rates, and reducing return rates at shelters, thus combating the problem of pet overpopulation in shelters today.
According to the ASPCA®, “the key to developing successful adoptions lies in making good matches between adopters and pets, thus creating lasting bonds,” said Dr. Emily Weiss, the ASPCA’s senior director of shelter behavior programs, and researcher of ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™. “Feline-ality™ is a tool that does precisely this; and everyone—adopters, shelter staff, and most of all, the cats—benefits from the program.”
Meet Your Match™ is a program of ASPCA®.
