2009 Picture Purrfect Calendar
We are pleased to say that the supporters of Good Mews have the most adorable cats and kittens in the country.
How do we know? We looked at over 112 entries to the “Picture Purrfect” Calendar Contest and the photos were fabulous. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos this year!
It was a very tough decision to pick the cats that would be featured on the cover as well as the months, and we hesitate to say “winners” because each and every cat is a winner in our eyes! It is apparent that every cat pictured in this calendar is well-loved and cared for by their owners.
The judging was performed by Melinda D. Merck,D.V.M.,who is the Senior Director of Veterinary Forensic Sciences for the ASPCA. Dr. Merck frequently testifies as a forensic veterinary expert for animal cruelty cases around the country and provides training for veterinary and law enforcement professionals nationwide on the use of veterinary medical knowledge in the investigation and prosecution of animal cruelty cases. She has also authored several textbooks on veterinary forensics. Dr. Merck has long been a supporter of Good Mew and we are appreciative of her help with this year’s calendar.

About our Cover Cat: Thatcher
When this handsome boy’s owners, Sean Rindge and Hillery Rink of Atlanta, caught this beautiful zen-like photo of their cat in the sun, they had no idea that one day he would become a star!
Thatcher is a 3-year old male tabby that was adopted from Good Mews. He truly is a companion animal that follows them from room to room and they have no problem doting on him. One of Thatcher’s favorite activities is to “ride” on plastic bags and his owners are more than happy to indulge him!

Rocky
Rocky is the most adventurous of the group. He’ll go running right up to new things and animals without any hesitation. I can see him greeting people at the door and welcoming them to his home when he’s older. Like Moose, he also likes to lick fingers and toes.
Snip Pets!
Carrie Murtha, a Good Mews volunteer has started her own line of art work called the Snip Pets!
What exactly IS a SnipPet?
It’s simple. A snip~pet is…
1-PET art created with SNIPS of paper, paint and clay.
2-a PET that has been spayed or neutered...the kindest SNIP of all!
Make sure YOUR pet is a SnipPet...it is the only way to stop pet overpopulation and the consequent euthansasia of millions of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs EVERY year!
From Carrie: “I will donate 10% of any art sales generated by you directly to your Spay/Neuter efforts. I always ask each customer how/where they heard about the SnipPets, so that i can easily track what group to donate to. In addition, I am developing products featuring my SnipPet mascots, Stuart and Sunny SnipPet, and 100% of the profits from those items will go toward your spay/neuter efforts.
I just put 6 SnipPet paintings on Ebay! The starting prices are super low, so you better begin bidding now!
In addition, 10% of the selling price will go to the best cat shelter in the world, Good Mews. I will donate that percentage to their spaying and neutering efforts.”
For just a couple of more days, click SnipPets-Ebay to bid on her work.
Please check out her wonderful products by clicking Snip~Pets. Also check out more about her artwork and her spay neuter efforts in helping our furry friends at Snip-Pet-Blog.
Another great holiday gift idea for you and your friends and an added bonus of helping the Good Mews kitties!
