Where we are now…
Where we will be with your donations!
As we enter our Silver Anniversary year in 2013, we hope to be moving into our very own property!! We purchased a site at 3805 Robinson Road in which we plan to house 150-200 cats, have a surgical suite, larger kitten area, additional special needs rooms, bigger intake and isolation rooms, a designated medical area, bright open spaces with windows, and much more.
Our future goals also include offering the community low-cost spay/neuter services and having an on-staff veterinarian.
The budget for this project is $650,000, but could go as high as $800,000. Please consider making a donation now!
To donate, click on the paw on the right, and for donation type, choose Building Fund. If you prefer to mail a check, be sure to note “Building Fund” on the memo line.

Featured Cat of the Month
Rhinna is three years old this month, and has been at Good Mews for most of her life. That’s a long time for a cat to live at a shelter, and she doesn’t seem to cope with it as well as some other cats, so we want to help this sweet girl find her forever home!
Rhinna loves people and attention, and is a good-natured, affectionate and talkative girl. But she doesn’t like the commotion of the shelter, and sometimes even seems depressed. So she stays in the back where she can hide, but this makes it difficult for people to meet her. She doesn’t realize that if she would just venture out front on adoption days, she might be noticed and find a home. Instead she remains curled in a little ball, in one of her favorite cat trees, and dozes. If you come to wake her up and pet her, she is always glad to see you. She purrs, and welcomes your pets by pushing her head into your hand. She will usually get up and stretch and talk to you (that is if you didn’t wake her out of a really deep cat nap). You can tell how much she loves human attention.
We think Rhinna will blossom in a quiet home of her own, and be a faithful companion to a special someone. If you are looking for a friendly, affectionate kitty, we hope you’ll come and meet Rhinna soon!
The featured cat of the month has a reduced adoption fee of 50%!

Featured Kitty
Peaches
Poor Peaches was found wandering around a parking lot, all alone and sick! That must have been very scary for her. I know I would be scared if I was in that situation!
Thank goodness someone found her and we had space open at Good Mews. We nursed her back to health and she is feeling much better. She is also very happy to be safe in a comfy office. Yes, Peaches has her own office! She is such a Diva she said she did not want to share her space with others, so we accommodated her needs and she now lives in her own office. But an office is only so big and I know she would love to have a whole house to herself with lots of windows to look out of. If you would like to share your home with this feisty girl, come by and meet her. Oh, and since Peaches is such a Diva, she will only share her home with humans, no other cats, thank you very much!
Update-The staff has started letting Peaches visit the other kitties in the main shelter during the day and Peaches does great! She has been getting along with everyone so we feel Peaches would do okay going to a home with one other cat. But she still wants to be treated like the queen of the household!
Peaches is in our HALO program because she has liver shunt. She would love a home with someone that will take good care of her. To learn more about our HALO program, or to contact our shelter manager for more information about Peaches, please click on the HALO tab.
Peaches has taken a temporary job as an office manager at a vet clinic. If you are interested in meeting Peaches, please email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
