Featured Kitty

Good Mews found out about a situation where someone had over 50 cats living in stacked cages in a dark shed. They had one light bulb for light. Some of these kitties had been living in these conditions for about 3 years. Obviously this is no way for any living being to live. We were able to assist with some of the cats, and a couple other groups were also able to help.
Most of these cats have never been socialized and only knew one person: the person who kept them in the cages. They lived in fear and always wondered what was going to happen to them.
Chardonnay was one of these kitties and is very afraid right now. She is going to need a loving, patient adopter so she can learn to trust at her own pace. It may take months, or it could take days. She just needs the chance to learn what having a loving home is like. Once she feels safe, I know she will be wonderful companion.
Chardonnay does best when other cats are around, so she must be adopted with another Good Mews cat to help her feel safe.
Chardonnay is in our Kitty Keeper program and sends out quarterly updates on how things are going at the shelter. To read more about our Kitty Keeper program, click on our donate tab.
