Evie’s Story-Kindness of a Stranger
Evie’s story reminds us of the kindness of strangers. A lovely woman rescued Evie and her two littermates when their momma disappeared. She noticed they were hungry, cold and sick so she did what she could. The little tabby, whom we named Evie, unfortunately disappeared for two days. When she returned, it was with a crushed tail and broken leg. She brought the kittens inside to her bathroom but she already had 3 rescue dogs and her family living with her in a small trailer. Plus, they needed more medical care than she could handle. She called other shelters but was told they would most likely be euthanized. She put out a desperate plea for help which is when Good Mews stepped in. Little Evie’s tail was beyond repair so she had to have surgery to amputate it. Currently her leg appears to be doing well and after consulting with a specialist we were advised to monitor her for pain and hold off on any more surgery.
Evie and her littermates have been spayed and neutered and are available for adoption. They are so cute - one is a flamepoint siamese and the other is a lynx point siamese. If we can get them to sit still long enough, we will post pictures!!
Due to the kindness of a stranger, these three beautiful kittens are now safe and awaiting their forever home.
Update: Evie and her sister Ellie, the lynx point got adopted together and found their forever home just before Christmas.
The third sibling Ethan, a beautiful flamepoint siamese, entered the kitten room with lots of new friends and is still available for adoption!
Update: Ethan got adopted with another kitten from the kitten room for the new year. What a great ending to a this story!

Featured Kitty
Miss Piggy
Miss Piggy’s most distinctive features are her bright eyes and her short, curly tail. Although shy, she is starting to enjoy the occasional head rub, and playing with the laser light and she loves the company of other cats! All she needs is time, patience and some TLC - and she’s worth it!
Miss Piggy is featured in front on this photo next to her friend Noelle.
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.
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.”
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!
