Located at 736 Johnson Ferry Road, Marietta, GA, the shelter provides a cage-free environment for its residents, offering them comfort and security while assertive adoption programs find them happy, loving homes. We have a strong commitment to the practice of spaying and neutering as the most important step in reducing the pet overpopulation problem. We also promote public awareness regarding the value of pets, animal welfare, and quality human-animal companionship through educational and outreach programs.

Good Mews Animal Foundation, a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter, announces special two-fur-one adoption fees throughout the month of February.

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, bonded/mandatory pairs of adoptable cats will be available for a special “love bird” rate of $114.00 for the pair. Adopters may also form their own pair of cats for twice the love and a special rate of $125.00 for the pair. Each adopted pair will come with a goody bag.

Cats bond with each other in the same way as humans, so separating a bonded pair can cause depression and often lead to health and behavioral problems. Having a friend in a new place can help cats happily transition to their forever home, but there are other benefits for adopters, too. Cats are much less likely to engage in destructive or other disruptive behaviors when they have another cat to socialize with; they provide each other with built-in exercise and playtime.

Good Mews is in its 25^th year of operation, housing approximately 100 cats within the shelter, and has placed over 6,700 cats in their forever homes. Adoption hours are Saturdays, 10 am-4pm, and the second, third and fourth Sundays of the month, 1-4pm.  For more information about the foundation or to make an adoption appointment, visit www.goodmews.org. You can also find Good Mews on Facebook.

Good Mews is seeking donated retail space in the Marietta area for their annual Spring Flea Market. The Spring Flea Market is Good Mews’ largest fundraiser and obtaining donated space means more money for the kitties. Organizers are seeking a minimum of 2,800+ square feet for the 3-month period of March, April and May.

If you can help, contact Kelly McNamara at kmcnamara@goodmews.org.

Good Mews offers an alternative to traditional animal shelters in the metro-Atlanta area by providing a no-kill, cage-free haven for homeless, abused or abandoned cats until placing them in permanent, loving homes. Good Mews, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was the first no-kill, free-roam, feline-only shelter established in Georgia, housing approximately 100 cats at any given time, with an additional 30+ cats living in foster homes.  Since 1988, Good Mews has placed more than 5,000 cats in permanent homes. The shelter receives no government support, relying instead on donations of time, service, supplies and money from supporters, the public and area businesses.
