Penelope's Story

Penelope arrived at Good Mews with a leg broken in two places. As the leg had been broken for some time, an amputation was required. After surgery, Penelope was sent to a foster home to recover and get ready for adoption.<br/>Penelope was frightened when she arrived at her foster home and hid when approached but time and patience ultimately won her heart. Within a few weeks she enjoyed the affection and pets she received and gave head and body bumps in return. She isn’t overly fond of lap time or being held but will quietly tolerate it for a short time. She does enjoy sitting at your feet. At the end of her foster stay, she was a happy, chatty girl with a quick purr and loving nature that fit right into the foster’s home and routines. <br/>Penelope’s foster home included one 13-year-old Siamese cat that she fell in love with. Being older, he wasn’t interested in playing with her but was friendly toward her. Penelope often gave him body rubs when they saw each other. She was not around dogs. She was usually shy around visitors except for those who came by on a regular basis. Penelope did not encounter children during her stay. <br/>Penelope gets around well despite her amputation. She can run, climb on cat towers, jump on furniture, scratch her claws, and use her litter box with no problem. She continues to perfect how to play with toys. She likes wand toys and catnip filled toys the best. Her favorite pastime at her foster home was spending time on the screened-in porch. She loved watching birds, squirrels, chipmunks and deer seen in nearby woods. Open windows inside the house were enjoyed as well.<br/>Penelope would love a home that includes a friendly cat or cats that will be part of her life, such as playing, cuddling and sleeping with her. She is a sweet girl with a low maintenance personality and her endearing ways will make her a wonderful addition to someone’s home.

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.
