Good Mews

Policies & Procedures

We currently have 80-100 cats of all colors, ages and personalities looking for their forever home.  Our adoption counselors are experienced matchmakers ready to suggest candidates for your ideal lifetime companion.  They will also teach you how to properly introduce your new cat to existing pets.  Adoption hours are Saturdays from 10 am - 4 pm and the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 1 pm - 4 pm.  Weekly appointments can be scheduled by calling 770-499-2287.  Adoptions are also conducted at the Merchants Walk PetsMart on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 10AM - 4PM and at Pawsibilities in Roswell the 4th Saturday of the month from 10AM - 4PM. 

The adoption process will take 1-2 hours so please plan on setting aside this block of time when you visit.  Adoption fees are $110.  All of our cats have been examined, spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated against Rabies, Distemper and Feline Leukemia.  All cats older than 6 months have tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia.  Due to the unreliability of the test, cats under 6 months of age have not been tested for FIV but have tested negative for Feline Leukemia.

Also included in the adoption fee of your new family member is earmite treatment if needed, flea treatment before they go home, a bag of Science Diet cat food and any other vetting, surgery or bloodwork that had been needed prior to adoption.

Policies

Potential adopters will be asked to sign an access agreement before entering the main shelter.  (Bring as many members of your household as possible, including children, to be sure your family and the cat are compatible.) A counselor will then interview you about your expectations and guide you through the shelter to meet our many residents.  After that, it is up to you - many times a cat will choose you! 

Once you fill out an application, get approved and are ready to sign the adoption contract, we will need the following:  two forms of ID bearing your current address, one with a photo. If you rent, proof of a paid pet deposit, a copy of your signed lease agreement outlining pet requirements and the name and phone number of your landlord. Cash, check or VISA, Master Card or American Express are accepted to cover the adoption fee.

As private foundation, we reserve the right to refuse any adoption application.

Petsmart Charities

Good Mews has been awarded a $6,000 grant for the support and expansion of our foster care program.

Our Grant Committee applied for it last November and just received notification of the award. 

This sum will go a long way toward caring for more abandoned and abused kitties in the coming year and we are grateful to the Petsmart Charities Foundation for their generosity and to our Grant Committee for their continuing efforts to secure funding for Good Mews.

This grant will enable us to rescue more cats and kittens from death row in animal control, and bring them to our Good Mews foster homes as space allows.
