Spay/Neuter

Good Mews is proud of the fact that every cat that leaves our shelter is already spayed or neutered.

But did you know there are currently 8 million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens euthanized in the United States every year simply because there aren’t enough homes for all of them. Besides preventing more unwanted puppies and kittens, spaying and neutering your dog or cat prevents diseases and prevents many behavioral problems that occur in unaltered pets.

The risk of mammary cancer is greatly reduced if you spay your pet before age one. Also, cancers of the reproductive organs are eliminated. Behavioral problems such as aggressiveness towards same sex dogs, marking or spraying in the house and roaming to find a mate are also eliminated or reduced if you spay or neuter your pet.

Here are some resources for low cost options that may help you!

Saphra

Good_Mews

Saphra is a super sweet girl that sadly lost her home when her guardian had to move in with someone with a disability so she could care for her. The person with the disability is allergic to cats so Saphara couldn’t come along.  Saphra was adopted from Good Mews when she was a kitten so she is a little confused as to why she is back at the shelter. It is always hard on the cats that come from loving homes because they probably think they did something wrong and they don’t understand why they were in their home one day and in a cat shelter the next. So we try to give them a ton of attention so they feel better and hope that a new loving home comes along soon.
Saphra is a beautiful gray cat that is very loving. She will be shy in a new environment, but once she gets to know you, she will be a loyal companion. She will probably also be shy around strangers once in a new home, but a lot of cats are like that!
When I first went to visit with Saphra she was sitting in her tent bed. She kept popping her head up and down like a jack-in-the-box. When I started petting her she instantly started purring and rolling around. After awhile she started standing on her head! She really is a funny little girl. So if you are looking for a sweet, quiet kitty to join your family, then come and meet Saphra.
