'Two-Fur-One' Adoptions at Good Mews

The East Cobb shelter has specials on pairs of cats in celebration of Valentine's Day.

Cobb-based Good Mews Animal Foundation, a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter, announces special “two-fur-one” adoption fees throughout the month of February. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, bonded/mandatory pairs of adoptable cats will be available for a special “love bird” rate of $114.00 for the pair.
