Happy Friday! My name is Cider. I came to Good Mews after living outside. My siblings, Pumpkin and Candy Corn also came here but a few weeks before me because it took a little longer to trap me. Since I started my life outside, I’m pretty shy and nervous. Last weekend was a bit tough for me. I was released into the kitten room during the week and it was quiet and I was OK, I guess. But then on Saturday and Sunday, we had lots of visitors and adopters and I was so nervous. All the other kittens were running around, climbing on people, napping on laps but I stayed tucked inside a shelf, all by myself. It was kind of lonely, but all the other kittens were busy working it, trying to find their forever homes. I just couldn't do it. I want to be brave, but I’m just not there yet. So I stayed to myself. Some people did pet me but I just sat there and didn’t react. I didn’t hiss or swat because I am a sweet, gentle boy, but I couldn’t make myself get out and play. But I bet once in a home, with a very patient adopter, I will eventually be more outgoing like the other kittens. I am just going to take some time to adjust. And because of my shyness, I must go to a home where another nice kitty lives or with a GM kitten. I sure hope there is someone out there that likes shy cats and will take a chance on me. I would love to be home for the holidays. So if you are that kind of person, will you come and meet me? We are open on Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4. I would do best in a quiet home without small children. I would do OK with older, cat savvy kids.

🎉 We Did It—10,000 TNVR Surgeries! 🎉

Today, we’re celebrating an incredible milestone: our clinic has reached 10,000 Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return (TNVR) surgeries since opening its doors!

This achievement isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the lives we’ve touched. TNVR is a vital service that:
- Reduces overpopulation of community cats
- Improves the health of outdoor cats through vaccinations
- Reduces nuisance behaviors like yowling and spraying
- Strengthens the bond between community members and their feline neighbors

Every surgery is a step toward creating a healthier, more harmonious environment for both cats and the communities they call home.

To everyone who has supported our clinic—volunteers, donors, trappers, and advocates—thank you for being a part of this lifesaving work. Together, we’re making a real difference, one whisker at a time. ❤️

Here’s to the next 10,000! 🐾

Dear Santa,
Hey! It’s Winnie! Just checking in to see if you received my wish list for Christmas. You might have missed it since it's a really short note; not big and bulky like some letters I bet you get. Mine is small because there is only one Christmas wish that I have and that is a family. I’ve been here for 1 year and 5 months, and so far, nobody has wanted to adopt me. Santa, I really don’t know why. I’m very nice and friendly. I overhear adopters all the time say, “I’m looking for a cat that will sit in my lap”. I try to yell over to them and say, “I would LOVE to sit in your lap! All day long, if you’d like!”. But nobody listens. It really bums me out sometimes. Lots of people visit with me and we have great conversions, and I cuddle up to them. Adoption counselors introduce me to people looking for a single cat. Nothing. So I think the only remaining thing to try is asking for your help. I know you can work some magic and I hope you can do that for me. I would be so grateful. As you know, I’ve been working really hard to shed some pounds because I was overweight. I currently weigh 13.7 pds and that’s good, huh? It’s hard to lose weight and you should know that better than anyone! I bet you also shed a few pds this year but will probably gain it all back from eating all the cookies the kids will be leaving out for you! I won’t be getting any Temptations because I want to keep losing. And if I get a family for Christmas, I am sure they will be happy to help me on my weight loss journey. OK, so I’m going to keep my paws crossed that I will get my wish this year! Be sure to direct everyone to our website so they can read all about me!
https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/63877fd0945ecb6a451bebf1/6436b1acd1defca9e2077ffd

I hope you have a wonderful journey around the world on the 24th and I’ll be listening out for your HO HO HO! Hopefully I’ll be snuggling up to my human when you fly over!

I love you, Santa. Be safe.
From,
Winnie

Hello friends! My name is Sassie! I came to Good Mews in August, along with my 6 housemates. Our dad had to move to assistant living and was unable to take us with him. We loved dad so much and he took wonderful care of all of us and we miss him. But we are thankful that he was able to find us a safe place to go while we waited for our second chance at a forever home. And guess what? All my housemates have already found their new families! They are so lucky to be spending the holidays in a loving home. Now I am hopeful I am next! I am a very nice girl, but like my name, I can have some sass in me. I get nervous in new environments, but once I feel safe and secure, I am a loving kitty. My dad loved to brush me and I enjoyed it so much! And because I like nice hygiene and like for my hair to always look perfect, I would help dad by grooming my housemates so they looked as pretty as I did! So I would do fine in a home with another kitty or two, since I’m used to living in a multi-cat home. Or I would do OK as a single cat, as long as my family spends lots of time with me. I may be nervous when I first go home, but with patience, I will be just fine! I sure hope I get to spend the holidays with my new family. So if you are looking for a new kitty, please come by and meet me! We’re open on Saturdays from 10-4 and Sundays, 1-4. You can read about me and all my friends here: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats ⛄

Hi! We’re Yogi and BooBoo! We heard our foster mom talking about this contest that Good Mews is running right now to see who looks best in a Santa suit! We asked her, could we pleeeeeease enter the contest? We just knew we would win! She said she thought the outfits might be too big for us, since we're still kittens, but she did let us try them on. See how cute we are? We could totally win! Even if the outfits are a little big on us. Our foster mom agreed that we looked very cute in the outfits, but that we would have to "wait and see" and if we get adopted, maybe our new family would let us enter. So hopefully that happens this weekend!

The contest is open to cats and even small dogs. All you need to do is buy an outfit in our lobby, take some pictures of your furry kid wearing the outfit and follow our Facebook or Instagram page for instructions on how to enter your kitty or dog’s picture, and also how to vote! You can vote as many times as you want, for as many pets as you want. And fingers crossed that we will on there so you can vote for us!

ANYWAY...Obviously we are super cute. And we are also super affectionate and snuggly. We love to cuddle and purr. I (BooBoo) really likes belly rubs I (Yogi) loves to be held more than anything! We also love to play, especially when a human plays with us with a wand toy. We'd really like to find a home where there are humans around most of the time. We love attention! So if you want to meet us, or any of the other great kitties at Good Mews, come visit us this weekend! We’re open on Saturday from 10-4 and Sunday, 1-4! You can read about us here and new kitties added by EOD: https://www.goodmews.org/available-cats

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

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!🥰
