Fred's Story

Fred is a sweet boy who first found his home through Good Mews several years ago. Sadly, he was recently returned through no fault of his own, and it was a very difficult decision for his previous family to make. While he’s a little timid at first, once Fred feels safe, his gentle personality begins to shine. Fred's previous family didn't mention any issues with nipping/biting, but we did see some of that behavior when in a foster home, so use caution. Sometimes pent-up energy can result in hand-biting, so he may benefit from going into a home with a cat friend that he can rough-house with. He’s both a fan of wet and dry food (he doesn’t discriminate!) and enjoys playing with toys when the mood strikes. With a little patience and love, Fred will blossom into a wonderful companion who will reward his forever family with trust and affection. Could you be the one to give Fred his second chance at a happily-ever-after?

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.
