Thanks to everyone who came out to our first Bingo night with P.A.L.S. (Pets are Loving Support).
It was a great evening with non-stop laughs and non-stop winning. Three of our volunteers won prizes ranging from $50- $250 for having a winning bingo card.
Our winners were Jean Hess, Karen Redlew and Vicki Dodson so congratulations to all!
A special thank you to Andrea Cartier for arranging this fun night to help raise money for our kitties. We hope to do Bingo night again so if you missed out this time, you’ll want to make sure you join us next time for this great fundraiser!

One happy Fluffy
Fluffy couldn’t be happier. She is available for adoption at The Cat Clinic of North Georgia. Click HERE if you are interested in adopting Fluffy. Since leaving GM and living here at the clinic, she is living it up in her own big space.
While at GM, Fluffy lived in a special needs room because she was afraid of too many shelter cats. Her new bigger space is just what the doctor ordered!!
It’s great to see her so happy in her new “temporary” home!!
Fluffy’s big move
Fluffy is a beautiful long haired calico tabby who came to us after being abandoned in her owner’s garage. Luckily for Fluffy, a neighbor found her and contacted us. Fluffy lived her life as an only cat and is afraid of living in the main shelter with 85 other cats so she is currently living in one of our special needs rooms.
On Friday, February 8th, Fluffy is making a big move.
She will be living as the office cat at the new Cat Clinic of North Georgia. We are very excited as she will have more space to walk around and be able to spend more time with people, which she does enjoy. She will also be up for adoption at the clinic as The Cat Clinic of North Georgia is going to become an off site adoption site for us. Long term plans include rescuing cats from Animal Control in Forsyth county and have them be up for adoption at the clinic, under the Good Mews name.
If you are interested in meeting Fluffy, please visit her in her new home.
She will be helping the Cat Clinic of North Georgia celebrate their grand opening on Sunday, February 10 from 12-4 pm. When Fluffy gets adopted, she will be entitled to a free Wellness exam good up to 30 days after her adoption. The free Wellness exam with Dr. Jill Pruett is in also in effect for any cat adopted at Good Mews.
If you are interested in being an off site adoption location for us, please email .
love is in the air!
UPDATE: these 2 boys were put on hold this weekend and will be going home for Christmas! This is the best present ever for the two lovebirds!
Two of our long term residents, Cody and Woodruff have discovered true love at Good Mews.
Cody has been with us since he has been a kitten and is now 7 years old. Woodruff a.k.a. Woody has also been with us for several years.
Both boys are shy and although they get along well with the other cats, both have always been a bit of the loner type. Well, things have now changed for the boys and love is in the air!
Cody and Woody have discovered each other and are now seen snuggling together on a cat tree, curled up in the same basket or just hanging close by one another. How nice when true love blossoms for 2 kitties who have always been rather independent.
Both boys are still waiting for that special someone. If you are that special someone, who doesn’t mind if their kitties are shy and want to give a permanent home to these two love birds, Cody and Woody are here just for you.
Both boys are also members of our kitty keeper program so even if you cannot take them home, please think about sponsoring them with a monthly donation!
Soldier’s story
Here is the story of one very brave little kitten, as told by his foster mom Karen Smith!
Just because a cat is blind doesn’t mean that they cannot be a very happy pet and make you very happy. In fact, it is often difficult to remember that Soldier is blind when he is in a familiar environment because his sense of hearing and smell is so much greater than ours. Soldier became blind from an infection in both eyes which eventually developed ulcers which ruptured. He was found as a 4-month-old kitten wandering around in an apartment complex. A Good Samaritan that he kept following behind took him to the vet and we were fortunate to get Soldier into a foster home here at Good Mews! He loves to play and will purr constantly after being picked up and hugged. He follows his foster parent from room to room without bumping into any doors or walls. He loves to touch and sleep in your lap and will “feel” your face with his paws and gives you kisses! He plays all around the house, even jumping on and off the couch to attack his toy mice! He relies on his memory to help him navigate through the home. Occasionally, he bumps into something, but just shakes it off and continues on his merry way.
He loves to be talked to and adapts to his limitations. He runs after his favorite noises, (a human scooping his litter box) but not as fast as a sighted cat. He likes to have his food and water bowl and his litter box in the same spot all the time!
Soldier now has a new friend named Piper who is about his age and was recently rescued by Good Mews from an office park where he was trapped between an office building and a retaining wall. Piper is very shy and Soldier is teaching him the ropes on how to be an outgoing playful kitten. Someone forgot to tell Soldier he was blind and had more challenges in his life than seeing kitties!
If you would like to help Soldier, Piper and more kitties at Good Mews, please DONATE today!

Samantha
Samantha and her sister, Louise, were abandoned by their owners when they moved. Who wouldn’t be upset after that?? Samantha is still guarded and learning to trust people again. She is seeking a very patient home who will give her all the time she needs to adjust. She enjoys having other kitty friends around!
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!
