Good Mews

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!
