Good Mews is one of the few virtually cage-free, no-kill cat shelters in the state of Georgia and the first in the metro Atlanta area. Since 1988, Good Mews has placed over 11,000 cats in permanent homes. We receive no government support, relying solely on donations of time, service, and money from our supporters, the public, and area businesses. Good Mews is home to approximately 100 kitty residents at any given time, with another 30 to 40 cats in foster care. Our HALO program allows cats with severe and/or chronic medicals needs to find homes by continuing to provide medical care related to that condition. We have an average adoption rate of 600 cats per year.
