Finding good homes for good kitties…
Information and Guidelines
Welcome to Good Mews and thank you for choosing to volunteer with our organization. Volunteers are one of the most valuable assets Good Mews has. Without you we could not accomplish what we do.
Being a volunteer is a very rewarding endeavor. Whether you are maintaining the cleanliness of the shelter, working on a fundraising event, petting a cat or helping with adoptions you are very important to us. Your volunteer efforts can have a huge impact on an animal who has never known love and friendship. Sometimes the impact is immediate and sometimes it takes time, but in either case, the result is very gratifying and uplifting.
General Volunteer Requirements
Good Mews requires that all volunteers be a minimum of 18 years of age or must be accompanied by a legal guardian who is at least 18 years old when performing a volunteer function. Specific volunteer opportunities may have other requirements about age (i.e. people who work beverage booths at festivals must be 21).
Every person entering into the kitty areas must sign an access agreement. If you filled out the access agreement at the time of your orientation, you do not need to fill out another. However any friends or family members you bring with you must sign an access form.
Please review the attached “Volunteer Information, Guidelines and Expectations” manual which includes important information and guidelines once you become an active volunteer.

Washington
Washington and his friends are our rescued kitties from Pennsylvania. The ASPCA contacted us and asked if we would be willing to assist in taking in some cats that were rescued from a sanctuary there. We said of course we could help!
The ASPCA and the Elk County Humane Society in PA rescued nearly 400 cats from the sanctuary. The cats were found living in deplorable conditions on the first floor of a two-story building outside of Pittsburg. Several people assisted in the care of the cats and over 50 were transported to Georgia. Good Mews was able to take in 12. On the 4th of July we went to pick up our cats at the Atlanta Humane Society and brought them to their temporary home until permanent loving homes can be found.
You would think after everything these kitties have been through they would be weary of humans, but they are the sweetest angels you will ever meet. They purr when you pet them; some will even hug you. They were so excited when we placed them in their intake cages and they saw their comfy bed and food and water, they were purring up a storm!
We are so thrilled and honored to be able to help these cats and can’t wait to learn more about their personalities. They have been through so much in their lives and they deserve a loving home. We can’t wait to find those homes for them. But until then, we are going to enjoy having them with us. Please come by and meet them!
We will give updates as we learn more about them!
Update-Washington is a very affectionate boy that craves attention. He will put his paws up on your leg and stretch out until you pick him up and cuddle him. He loves to be held and is a total lap cat. He will make a wonderful companion. He wants nothing but to be with his favorite person.
