Story

Only a mile from us, Ellie was abandoned on the street in February while pregnant. Her neighbors took her in, but were unable to afford her care. Since coming to live with us on 4/4/25, she has received all her first-year vaccines, been confirmed negative for FIV/FELV and all parasites, and recovered from her spay on 4/30/25. She is a fabulous, adorable kitty! Unfortunately, she and our older resident cat cannot seem to work around their mismatched energy levels. Ellie could be good with another playful kitten, or she would be content as queen of her own castle! She may have some past trauma with dogs and is a little jumpy with loud noises and sudden moves, so dogs and small kids are probably not a good fit. If you are looking for a playful, affectionate companion—Ellie is your girl! Easy enough kitty for a first-time owner. Re-homing fee to defray costs and ensure that she goes to a great home.

Story

PEEWEE IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED! This is PeeWee, a lovely small classic female kitty who was born around 6/28/2023. She is a bit shy and reserved, but loves to roll over for a belly rub She loves NAPS under the covers. She loves to be petted while on your lap. The perfect work-from-home companion kitty. She loves to play and loves all cat toys and is definitely loads of fun. She could probably be a single kitty, but would also do well with a friendly low-key kitty. She has never been around dogs and is not recommended for a dog home. She is neutered, has had all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and a confirmed NEGATIVE FIV/FeLV test. The adoption fee of $295 also includes the transport. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring her up north once she is adopted. If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website and complete an online application using this link: http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net. Once your application is received and processed you will be contacted by an NBAR Volunteer. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!
