About Mew

Meet Mew! When she first arrived at the shelter as a stray, Mew had some health issues that raised concerns. With infected eyes and wounds on her face, she needed care, and after just a few days of love and treatment, she started to improve! Mew requires a special home because she tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), which means her immune system may be weaker. Despite this, she can enjoy a happy, fulfilling life. It’s important to know that FIV spreads through bite wounds, so we aim to keep her safe by not adopting her to homes with other cats unless they are also FIV positive. Good news: Mew can safely live with dogs, as they cannot catch FIV. Currently, Mew is undergoing deworming treatment for common roundworms. Keeping her litter box clean and ensuring her paws are clean can help minimize any risk of transmission. Mew is about 8 weeks old, full of sweetness and spunk! The adoption fee includes spaying, vaccinations, a microchip, and other treatments. To meet Mew, please follow the application process through our website. We welcome out of state applications, but all adoptions must be finalized in person in Holland, MI. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
