Saffron's Story

Meet Saffron! This handsome kitty came to Good Mews from a local county animal control for a better chance at finding his perfect home. Saffron is a sweet cat who enjoys love and affection—but on his own terms. He can sometimes get overstimulated and may give a little nibble to let you know when he’s had enough, so he’d do best with an experienced pet owner who understands cat body language. Because of this, we recommend a home without young children. Adjusting to the shelter has been challenging for Saffron, as he finds the presence of many other cats overwhelming. However, he has been chirping at the younger male cats as a sign that he wants to play. While some of the older cats aren’t interested, he’s found a few friends who enjoy chasing and being chased—like Inky, Buddy, Squeakers, and Cinda. He particularly seems interested in making friends with other male cats, especially those with a slightly submissive personality. Because of his selective nature, he may do best as an only cat or with a calm feline companion, given a slow and patient introduction. Saffron is FIV+ but don’t let that scare you! FIV+ cats can live safely with non-FIV+ cats as long as the kitties get along. They can also live long, healthy lives like any other cat. Our FIV+ cats are not separated from the other cats in the shelter.

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.
