Happy Friday! I’m Rosalia. I transferred to GM from a rural county shelter so I could have a better chance at adoption. When I first arrived, I was in my intake kennel for a couple weeks, alone. Which was fine, but I knew I would be moving to the kitten room and I was both nervous and excited. Excited because I couldn’t wait to make some friends because I was lonely. But I was also nervous because I knew all the kittens in there were probably perfect and I’m not. I was so afraid they would laugh at me and would not want to be my friend. And I really wanted some friends. So when the big day came to move, I had tons of butterflies in my stomach! At first, I just sat on the floor, scared to move or walk. I just knew the kittens would laugh. But then I started to get bored and hungry, so I just did it. I walked over to the food bowls, and during my walk, the other kittens didn’t seem to notice anything different about me! They didn’t look at my missing back foot or my limp and laugh. They all said HI and asked if I wanted to play after I ate my lunch. I was so happy and relieved that they didn’t care I was a little different. They accepted me anyway. And it made me realize, just because I have a missing foot, I am still perfect, just like them! Being different doesn’t mean I am any less of a kitten than they are. And since I’ve been in here, I’ve made so many friends. And I hope I get to go home with one of them. Or to a home with another kitty that needs a friend. And I’m not even nervous about meeting someone new because I know they will love me like my kitten friends do! So please come meet me and all the other GM kitties this weekend. We’re open on Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4. You can read about us here: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats 💗

We love this update from Tucker’s mom (formerly Mr. Peanut)!

I’m just so thrilled with the love of Tucker aka Mr. Peanut that I just had to share.
We adopted him last August after my 2 babies of 15+ years passed. I was devastated for a year. My husband talked me into looking for a new cat. We came to Good Mews and there we found a face we fell in love with. Mr. Peanut was given up to Cherokee Co. Animal Shelter, then given to Good Mews at age 6. I have never seen an animal so afraid. It took months of patience to earn his trust. He is now the goofy, funny, lovable, playful and just perfect fur baby. Our vet said he is thriving! Thank you for saving this precious one, he was meant for this family. He puts a smile on our face every day. 🥰

Who better to tell you how great the Good Mews Kitty Keeper program is than the Kitty Keepers themselves?

"Being a Kitty Keeper is the best! Like most cat lovers, I want to help
as many kitties as possible, but I know there's only so much I can do. As a Kitty Keeper, I am able to share in the care of the kitties at Good Mews by contributing monthly to help with whatever they need. And I get updates and pictures of the kitty I sponsor! I love it when I get the notice that $25 has been deducted from my account each month. It's a reminder that I am helping my kitty and contributing to Good Mews. All you have to do is sign up; you don't have to remember to send money each month, it can be automatically deducted. There's no easier and better way to care for a Good Mews kitty than through the Kitty Keeper program."

Georgie was adopted in April and his family wanted to share these adorable pictures with us and to let us know he is doing great in his home! 🤩

Hi everyone! My name is Bona. I transferred to Good Mews from a county animal control for a better chance at adoption. I got here at the end of May, and nobody has picked me yet, but hopefully soon! At least here I have a chance. At the other shelter, it probably would have been extremely hard for me to find a home due to my shyness. At least here I have volunteers working with me to help me trust people and become more comfortable living indoors and accepting love. Before I ended up at the other shelter, I was living outside. So I didn’t have a lot of human interaction. But I’m getting better and enjoying my new friends, human and furry. It feels nice to be so loved and cared for. Now I just need someone to give me a chance and provide me the forever home I long for. It would probably be best if I am adopted into a home where the humans have a lot of cat experience and will work with me and give me the time to adjust. So obviously, they have to be patient. But once I feel comfortable, I know I will be a great friend for someone! So if you are OK with shy kitties, please consider me! You can read about me and all the other GM kitties here: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats
Then come by and meet me. We are open every Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4!

Hi! I’m Spud (buff) and that’s my sis Tatta Tot (tortie)! Good Mews rescued us from a small county animal control and we are so happy to be here. We first went to a foster home, which we loved, until it was time for us to come here to find our forever family! We are both a little shy, but I am shyer and it takes me a bit longer to come around. I do seek comfort in my siblings so I really hope I get to go home with one of them! We are all very sweet and playful. We also love to purr! Sometimes we all purr at the same time, and we are told it is a very soothing sound. So if you have a hard time sleeping, maybe you can adopt two of us and we will curl up against you at night and purr and put you to sleep. I bet it will be the best sleep you’ve gotten! So if you are looking to adopt, please come by this weekend! Like I said, I’d love to go home with Tatta Tot or another sibling, Vitolette, Spud, Masher, or French Fry! You can read about all of us here: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats
We’re open on Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4! Come see us!

Hello everyone. It’s me, Bubble. So I know I posted on here before; June 25th to be exact, but I am still here! I mean, what does a girl have to do to find her forever home?? I am super friendly and every time someone walks in the door to the main shelter, I run up to them, rub against their legs and ask for pets. Of course, if I am napping, that doesn’t happen, but I try really hard not to nap during adoption hours so I can greet people and try to win them over. Everyone pets me and says, oh, what a friendly girl, then walks off and ends up adopting someone else! Can you believe it?? What else can I do to grab people’s attention and make them fall in love with me and stop looking at other cats? I feel like they like me, then go off to meet others and forget I exist! Maybe I should just start ignoring people, then I will get noticed. But I can’t do that! I’m too friendly and outgoing. I love saying HI to everyone. I just can’t win. So if you have any advice for me, throw it in the comments. I’ll read them over, then this weekend I will do everything that is advised and see if that gets me adopted. Looking forward to what everyone has to say! I’ll be glued to my device, reading all the comments, because guys and gals, I REALLY, REALLY want a forever family!

If you want to read about me, you can do that here: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats

Then come by this weekend to see me! We are open on Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4!

Toad (now Ringo) was adopted by a very nice family on Saturday that waited so patiently for weeks for him to become medically cleared for adoption. On Sunday, his new human sister sent us this sweet message, letting us know how well he was doing on his first day home:

I greatly appreciate you picking us to adopt Ringo. He is the perfect cat and is exactly what we were looking for. He has already made himself at his forever home. He will forever be my best friend. Thank you again!! ❤️

Happy Friday from Bosco! Super excited for the weekend and I have a pretty strong feeling I will get adopted. Yes, I’m a very positive thinking kitten. Also, I have a special talent. Come by, have a seat on the kitten bench and I’ll style your hair! Yes, you read that right…I will style your hair. When I was in foster, I would sit by my foster mom and fix her hair up real nice before she headed out to work or wherever she went when she left the house. When she would come home, she would tell me how many compliments she got on her hairdo. So if I am your kitty, you will forever be beautiful with my special talents! Besides that, I love to snuggle and play with my siblings. I really love my brother Bexley, so I hope someone adopts us together. If not, I’d be fine with another GM kitty or an active, fun kitty in the home. So come by this weekend! You can read about me and all my friends here and new kitties (like me!) will be added to the website by the end of the day: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats 😎

Oh man! You saw me! I thought I was being so stealthy tucked away in my cat tree! You see, as a Kitty Keeper cat, it's my job to keep up to date on all the scuttlebutt here at the shelter and share it with my pen pals. So I like to camp out in the busy parts of the shelter and conduct my...let's call it surveillance... from my secret spot. It definitely keeps me up on all the hot gossip! So if you want to know what's the next big thing or who's in a cat fight with who, I'm your man! Sign up to be a Kitty Keeper and pick me, Max, and I'll send you a letter every quarter with the news! https://www.goodmews.org/kitty-keeper

Monday was a busy day for Cobb County rescues! With our partner Kudzu Cat Alliance, Good Mews was able to help relieve Cobb County Animal Services of an overcrowding situation that led to a serious Panleukopenia outbreak. With lots of teamwork and combining of resources, 28 community cats were rescued from euthanasia! These community cats will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and returned to their outdoor colonies. Good Mews is covering all of the costs incurred for surgery and vaccines for these kitties, so please consider donating today to help us offset these unexpected expenses. Anything is appreciated!

Happy Birthday to Dottie and Kit (formerly Ruckus & Rowdy)! How adorable are these birthday pics! Here is an update form their mom:

Just wanted to say how awesome it has been to have these sweet girls in our lives over the last 7 months - we decided since they were 5mos old when they came to us that it was time they got to celebrate their birthday! These girls are so much fun and we’ve never had one second of regret adding them to our family! Thank you again for keeping them safe until we found them!

Whackie!

Hello everyone! It’s Whackie! Remember me? I hope so!! But in case you’ve forgotten, I am in a foster home because I am Feline Leukemia (FeLV) positive. Because it is very contagious to other kitties, I cannot live at the shelter. So I am currently living with my foster parents, who rescued me. If you do remember me, since I posted a few weeks ago, you know I had a sister, Tiny T. Sadly, T. T. crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. ☹She was lethargic, losing weight, and just not comfortable. The vet said she had an internal mass, and it was decided to humanly let her go. It was devastating to me. I love my sis and we had such a special bond. I miss her and her companionship SO MUCH! But that is the sad fact of FeLV. We don’t live super long lives, that’s why it’s so hard for us to find families. Which isn’t fair. Yes, some pass away early on, but some can live for a few years. But either way, don’t we deserve love and a family? If we are here for 5 months or 5 years. Better to have us in your life for awhile rather than not at all. That’s what I think, anyway! But now that I am 11 months old and doing great and am healthy, hopefully I will be one of the lucky ones and live for a long, long time! Now I just need to find that family of mine! As you can see in my video, I am very active and playful. I love having a good time, running, fetching, jumping, climbing. I don’t tire out easily, but when I do, I love to seek out my foster mom’s lap for a little siesta! My foster parents adore me, but because they have 2 cats that I can’t be around, they really want me to find a loving family. They think I deserve it. So what I am looking for is a home where another FeLV kitty lives and we can be best pals. Or as a single kitty where I will get lots of attention, play-time, and snuggles. So if you are willing to open your heart and home to me, please reach out!! Like I said, I am not at the shelter, so you will need to email [email protected] and we can arr

Sasha

Sweet, super shy Sasha was adopted in 2019 and she hit a major milestone the other day. For the first time, she willingly crawled in her mom's lap! Go, Sasha!!🥳 If you know Sasha, then you will understand why this is so special!

Cardigan!

We love this update on our friend, Cardigan!! His new name is Oscar, because he was adopted around the time of the Academy Awards and he was dressed and ready to go in his tuxedo! He is so happy in his new home, the video was on his first day at home. He has met one of his new cat siblings and they are getting along really well. His new mom says Oscar is a real people cat, loves attention, pets and loves to sit on her lap. He’s been watching basketball with his new dad, too. He’s a very happy boy!🥰

Reunited by Microchip

A heartwarming story of reuniting a pet with his owner is how we spend the beginning of our 2024. 🥹🥹🥹 Microchipping not only brings brings lost pets home, but also ensures their safety and well-being. We’re hosting a community microchip and vaccination clinic (open to all dogs and cats) on Sunday, January 21 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. This is a low-cost way to ensure the safety of your pet in 2024. If your pet already has a microchip, take this opportunity to make sure you information is up-to-date with your current names, phone numbers, emails, and home address. You can schedule your appointment with us by visiting: https://www.goodmews.org/microchip-vaccination-clinic

Looks like Monica and Rachel are having a blast in their new home!

Happy Mother’s Day to all, including those who own pets (because being a pet mom counts, too!) We also wish a special day of love to our foster moms, who not only work hard year-round, but really step up to the plate during the craziness of kitten season. Us humans and all the Good Mews kitties appreciate all that you do, both today and every day! 💕 Happy Mother’s Day!

When you’re an almost all-female staff of Taylor Swift fans, you’re bound to see some passionate names… Hello world, meet Swift! 🐈‍⬛ Swift is a 4-week old peanut who was found as a single orphan in a horse barn. Right now, he’s in his rescue era. He’s about half the size of what a typical 4-week old kitten would be, and we can attribute it to being on his own during the first stages of his life. But he’s getting stronger by the day, and he’s gained .13 pounds since coming into our care. Pretty soon he will enter his foster era, and will get lots of care and love to grow up strong and healthy. Once he gets to about 8 weeks old, he will be available for the next era of his life, his forever home era. We know he’s going to have a great personality. He’s very vocal and has a strong purrrrrr. ……………………… Adoption hours: Saturday 10AM - 4PM Sunday 1PM - 4PM For weekday appointments or questions, email: [email protected] …………………. #catsofinstagram #kittiesofinstagram #foreverhomefound #adoptdontshop 🐾 #adoptdontshop #goodmewsanimalfoundation #goodmewscats #goodmews #limitedadmissionshelter #animalshelter #mariettaga #sandyspringsga #cobbcountyga #cats #catstagram #erastour #erastourtaylorswift #taylorswift

February is the month of love and Patriot and Sassy are here to show their love! Not only to each other but to their Kitty Keeper sponsors as well. Patriot and Sassy both receive the best love and care at Good Mews and that is due, in part, to our Kitty Keeper supporters. Our Kitty Keeper program allows you to give love to a special cat who needs you whether you are near or far! For a monthly donation of $20.00 or more, you can sponsor one of our shelter residents with limited options for adoption due to medical or other reasons. This kitty will send you quarterly updates with a photograph and a personal note. Your donation will go toward the care of your “kept” kitty and its shelter friends. Much love to you all! Would you like to feel the love? Sign up for Kitty Keeper by going to https://www.goodmews.org/kitty-keeper
