Gothel's Story

Gothel came to GM with a group born to two sister community cat moms and raised outdoors in their early weeks. Gothel seemed to be the shyest one of the 9 kittens and wouldn’t engage with the humans at the shelter, preferring to hide when a lot of activity was going on in the kitten room. However, she was adopted with a kitten named Lucky Day and they were later returned because of their guardian’s health issues. Gothel is a very sweet girl who does like attention. She doesn’t act like it while at the shelter, but in her home, she did great. She was very nervous at first, but after a day or two of hiding, she felt more comfortable venturing out. She loved her human family, which included two young girls, and always wanted to be around them. She purred a lot when she was close by and was happy getting pets. She would rub against them and sit beside them, sometimes on their laps for a short period of time. She wasn’t a fan of being picked up and does not like people coming towards her face, and prefers being pet from the side or behind. Her previous family said she was very affectionate. She is also playful and is super fast. So don’t let her shyness at the shelter deter you from considering her. Once away from the shelter, she is a fantastic companion. While Gothel and Lucky Day were great friends in their home, once they came back to the shelter, they stopped hanging around with each other. But one kitty Gothel did seek out was her brother Dr. Facilier. They are often seen curled up together and seemed happy to be reunited. Because of this, we decided to make them a bonded pair so they could stay together forever. They are both shy but they are hoping a very special family will give them a chance. They will require patience while they adjust to their new home. Gothel is bonded with <a href="https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/63877fd0945ecb6a451bebf1/68499c5070d57e48750d07b3">Dr. Facilier</a> and 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.
