Story
I got Patchy, or rather his nickname: Itty Bitty, when he was only a few months old from my Grandparents. He is going to be five years old this coming December. He was born with a deflated eye and had to get surgery to remove and close it up, he also got his kitten shots at the same time. He is a super sweet, purrmachine who loves attention, pets and to be brushed. We love him dearly, but with costs rising more and more and having one income we can not ensure that we would be able to give him the things he needs and deserves anymore. We are looking for a home that will welcome him with love and warmth.

Story
Ninny is a wonderful little girl! She was bred on my farm and when I moved out I took her with me. My schedule and current home doesn’t accommodate for my girl. I love her so much, which is why I want her to go to a good home that can accommodate her. You’ll meet her once and fall in love. She’s so playful and bright spirited. Please let me know if you’re thinking about adopting her, she needs a good home as soon as someone is willing to give it to her.

Story
Dexter is an all black American Short hair male who loves to play. He's 5 months old and has greenish amber eyes. He loves treats and canned wet food. Whoever feeds him is his best friend. He loves to be a lap cat as well. All around good boy. The reason I'm wanting to rehome him is because of my allergies. They are getting worse and I can't seem to find allergy medication that works anymore. He's house trained which is easy for cats. He's just been to the vet and all his shots are up to date. We're located in Mcsherrystown pa.

Story
It breaks my heart to have to rehome my cat, Thomas. I adopted him about six years ago, and he quickly became my best friend. Thomas is about six years old now, with a sweet disposition and an adorable, quirky personality. I’m looking for a new home for him that can give him the love and attention I can no longer give. He thrives in an active environment and gets along well with others, but he can be a little shy at first. I want to make sure he goes to someone who will be patient and understanding as he adjusts to a new space. Thomas is affectionate, playful, and a bit of a goofball. He loves to chase his toys and curl up on my lap while I work. It’s hard to let him go, but I know it’s the right thing to do for him. I just hope to find someone who will cherish him as much as I have. He is a great mouse catcher and even keeps his own nails trimmed. He comes with everything you need to have a cat: 2 covered litter boxes, water and timed food dispensers, toys, and more.

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tractor was dropped off at Tractor Supply Company with a note that said “can’t afford vet bills, please help her”. She needs a specialized diet of Science Diet Z/D and has a prescription for prednisone. That seems to help with her allergies. She’s allergic to practically everything so she needs someone who can fully understand and afford her care. She is extremely sweet and loves to be pet. Shes not a lap cat but she will curl up near you. She’s not a big fan of my dog, but does tolerate her. My cats do not like Tractor so I am unsure if she is good with other cats.

Story
Our Uncle acquired Squeakers in Florida and brought her with him to Pennsylvania a couple years ago. Squeakers can be scared and will hide on top of cabinets but we know from past experience she has been sweet and playful. We believe she is unsettled from her owner passing away and the apartment being cleared out. She will be a sweet pet for her new owners.

Story
DAWN IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED! Dawn is a gorgeous Brownish/Silver tabby.  She was abandoned in a carrier behind PetSmart.  Her eye is cloudy and she has some sight loss in one eye, but she has full sight in her other eye. She is super friendly and snuggy and gets along with both dogs and other cats. She would make a great family kitty. She loves her people and loves to have a conversation with you.   She loves to be your lap puddle and would be perfect to keep you company. She has been spay/neutered, had all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and a confirmed NEGATIVE FIV/FeLV test. Her adoption fee of $295 includes the transport to PA.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring her up north to her adopted family. 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.
