Mission
GOOD MEWS OFFERS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL ANIMAL SHELTERS IN THE METRO-ATLANTA AREA BY PROVIDING A LIMITED ADMISSION HAVEN FOR HOMELESS, ABUSED, OR ABANDONED CATS UNTIL PLACING THEM IN PERMANENT, LOVING HOMES. GOOD MEWS PROMOTES PUBLIC AWARENESS REGARDING THE VALUE OF PETS, ANIMAL WELFARE, PET OVERPOPULATION, AND QUALITY HUMAN-ANIMAL COMPANIONSHIP THROUGH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS.
Program accomplishments
- 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 residents at any given time, with another 30 to 40 cats in foster care or our HALO program, which allows cats with severe and/or chronic medical needs to find homes with Good Mews continuing to provide medical care related to that condition. We have an average adoption rate of 600 cats per year.Expenses $1,413,696 · revenue $292,398
