Dolly's Story

Dolly came to Good Mews from a situation where her owner was unable to care for all of her cats properly and needed help. Dolly had not been spayed, so she had a few litters of kittens at a young age and she was so busy raising her babies that she didn't have a lot of time for proper socialization. For this reason, Dolly is shy with people. We are confident that with a very patient person she will come out of her shell and blossom. Her adopter just needs to be prepared that might take a while and Dolly may seek refuge in a hidey bed until she is feeling braver. While at the shelter, Dolly made friends with another shy cat named Miriam. They were always seen together, grooming and cuddling with each other. As time went on, we saw that they formed a very special bond that we never wanted to break. So we decided they would have to be adopted together. Since they are both shy, they will bring each other comfort when they enter their next phase in life, a forever home.<br/><br/>So if you are willing to give two sweet girls a forever home, and have a lot of patience, please come and meet Dolly and Miriam. They would do fine in a home with other cats as they get along well with the kitties at the shelter.<br/><br/>Dolly is BFF with <a href="https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/63877fd0945ecb6a451bebf1/639a12c906e252512346a7a7">Miriam</a> so they must be adopted together!

Good Mews Animal Foundation's Adoption Policy

Adoption fees vary and are published on our Adoption Information page. There may be adoption discounts available; be sure to check the Ongoing Adoption Promotions page for details. All Good Mews cats have been examined by a veterinarian, tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated with age appropriate vaccines. Records and information regarding any other vetting, surgery, or blood work that may have been completed prior to adoption will be provided to the adopter. In addition, all cats receive a complimentary bag of Science Diet cat food and a variety of items generously donated by our supporters, including toys. You may submit your application to adopt a cat prior to your appointment but we are unable to hold or otherwise promise a particular animal until you have visited our shelter in person. You only need one application for all of our animals. Once you submit an application, please visit our shelter so that we can help you select the perfect cat. *Good Mews has the right to refuse any applicant for any reason. All submitted surveys become the property of Good Mews. Policies Bring as many members of your household as possible, including children, to be sure that your family and the cat are compatible. A counselor will then interview you about your expectations and guide you through the shelter to meet our many residents. After that, it is up to you—and many times the cat will choose you! Once you have chosen your cat, your adoption has been approved, and you are ready to sign an adoption contract, we will need the following: two forms of ID bearing your current address, one with a photo. If you rent, we require a copy of your signed lease agreement outlining pet requirements and the name and phone number of your landlord. Good Mews accepts the following forms of payment for the adoption fee: Cash, Check, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Special Note Regarding Adopting Kittens Good Mews follows the advice of many leading animal behaviorists when designing our adoption policies. Research shows that kittens do best in environments with other cats or kittens because it helps them be better socialized, better behaved, and less likely to exhibit destructive behavior because they are less likely to be bored. As a result, we will only adopt kittens under the age of 8 months to a home with another cat or kitten, or in pairs from our shelter if the home does not already have a cat in residence.
