While most retail operations have the bottom line in mind when they are doing business, at House of Mews the staff has different goals.
     A non-profit business formed in February 1994, the company started out on the premises of Goodwin Plantation greenhouse.  It was there Elain Harvey discovered a kitty conglomeration that needed her help.
    Since that time, House of Mews has adopted more than 2,300 cats, which might have otherwise faced starvation or worse.

   Forget the Notion of the customer coming first.  At the House of Mews, cats are No. 1.  Elain Harvey, founder and managing director of the non-profit House of Mews, says the abused, abandoned or neglected cats who live in her shop - about 150 at a time - come first.

The House of Mews is a cat lover's dream. The cat adoption agency/gift shop opened Oct. 23 in the Cooper-Young business district, a result of nearly two years work by a Germantown woman with a soft spot for neglected felines. The business at 944 S.

We welcome to our neighborhood and to the Cooper-Young business district The House of Mews. The House of Mews is a placement service for adopting homeless cats.

The House of Mews located at 944 S. Cooper (in the former Botanical location) is a new home for Puddy Tat Protectors (doing business as The House of Mews ). This non-profit group had been housed at Goodwin's Greenhouses in Germantown, but there was inadequate space and no air conditioning.

   Stand on Elain Harvey's doorstep and a friendly tabby is apt to greet you, purring and smiling and arching its back.  Step inside her Germantown home and more cats emerge to show their good manners, perching beside you with amiable aplomb.
