Nellie Bean's Happy Ending Story

Dear Good Mews,

I just wanted to let you know that I am doing so well! I (Nellie - now Nellie Bean) was adopted in February 2005 when I was 8 months old. As you may recall, I had some pretty bad “nasal problems” back then. My momma and daddy helped me get better and I don’t have any nose problems anymore! Once I got to my new house, I started running and haven’t stopped yet! I run up/down the stairs and all through the house all the time! I love running! I also discovered sunlight and how wonderful it is to bask in a patch on the floor. I am a rambunctious 2 year old now and constantly make my two siblings stay on their toes! My momma and daddy are so nice to me. They let me have treats and play with me all the time with “Toy” (as seen in one of the pics) and love on me all the time. As you can see, I still have a miniature head and big fat belly, but I’m so happy and doing so well. I even love to be held now that everyone isn’t trying to put drops into my nose (well until I decide it’s time to chase one of my siblings or look at the birds outside)! Thank you Good Mews for everything you did for me!!! My momma and daddy wanted to let you know that they love me so much!

Love,

Nellie Bean

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®.
