Jack's Story

Jack and Sherry came to Good Mews from a rural county shelter in hopes of finding a better chance at adoption. They had been at that facility for almost a year before coming into our care. Thankfully, they were in foster while there, as the shelter environment was very stressful for them as seniors. When they arrived at Good Mews, they also went straight into foster care.<br/><br/>In their foster home, both Jack and Sherry started out shy and timid, but with time and patience they slowly began to trust their foster caregiver. Jack was the braver of the two, while Sherry has always been a bit more reserved and takes longer to warm up. They both enjoyed playtime though, especially chasing wand toys together.<br/><br/>Now that they are at the shelter, they spend their time in our Transition room and have started making a few feline friends. Sherry still prefers to observe from a distance and isn’t usually the first to approach people, but Jack is happy to come right up and ask for attention. He loves pets and may even give you a little lick or a gentle love bite to show his affection.<br/><br/>Jack is believed to be deaf (or he just enjoys ignoring us! ) and has had a history of seizures and is on medication for this.<br/><br/>Jack and <a href="https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/63877fd0945ecb6a451bebf1/695fbd4a496136e31c0103f4">Sherry</a> are looking for a patient home that will give them the time they need to feel comfortable.

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.
