Good Mews is one of the few virtually cage-free, no-kill cat shelters in the State of Georgia.  Since 1988, Good Mews has placed more than 5,000 cats in permanent homes.  The shelter receives no government support, relying solely on donations of time, service and money from its supporters, the public and area businesses.  Good Mews is home to approximately 100 residents at any given time, most of whom live at the shelter; some also reside in foster care.

Good Mews provides our residents with regular meals and extensive medical care. The only time our cats are caged is for medical observation and a two week quarantine period upon arrival to the shelter. Once a cat has been accepted into the shelter population, it has a home for life. No cat is ever euthanized to make room for another, and is performed ONLY when a veterinarian has diagnosed that the cat’s quality of life is severely and permanently compromised by sickness or injury.

Our cats come to us from a variety of circumstances.  Many of our residents arrive abused, neglected and terribly afraid. Often times, these cats are in urgent need of medical care. During recuperation, our dedicated staff of volunteers spend countless hours cuddling and grooming the cats while they heal so they will start to trust humans again.

Good Mews serves the public in a variety of ways; offering low-cost spay/neuter certificates and microchipping as well dedicating hundreds of volunteer hours every year to humane education through children's programs and helping our adopters and the general public with behavioral and transitional issues with their new and existing pets.
