Story
This is Peep, she’s about 5 1/2 years old and I adopted her as a kitten. She loves to play fetch with Q-tips, and loves her jingle mouse toys. She cuddles when she wants, but is overall a love bug. I am looking for a good home for her as her, and I don’t want her going to just any home. She will take time to get adjusted as any animal would. She deserves the best, and I am unable to give that to her right now. I’m not sure if she will be good with other animals or kids. She has only ever been an only cat. She loves being around her humans so someone who isn’t gone a lot would be best. Lately she doesn’t like me anymore and I’m not sure why, but is very loving with my husband. Just seems like there is lots of trust and fear. She has never shown aggression until a few months ago, but only towards me no one else.

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
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.

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.

Story
CLIFFHANGER IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED! This is Cliffhanger, a lovely tabby/white small female kitty who was born around 6/28/2023.  She is very affectionate and playful. She loves NAPS.  If you cannot find her, she is likely snuggled up taking a nap.  The perfect work-from-home companion kitty.  She loves to play and loves all cat toys and is definitely loads of fun. She loves to find an open drawer to snuggle in and she is very inquisitive. 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 to PA.  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.
