Story
CLIFFHANGER IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA 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 CT.  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.

Story
I found her scared and starving alone outside when she was a kitten; I assume her mom must’ve died and she was left without support. I took her to the vet, got her shots and spayed, and took her home. She was scared at first, but eventually gained her adventurous personality back. She loves to play with my husky and catch him off guard. We often say that she learned how to be a dog because of him LOL. She is a very affectionate cat in the mornings and evenings. She likes to sunbathe throughout the day, then cuddle up next to you when you sleep. She loves to play! Whilst not required, having another animal makes her extra happy. She will show her affection with kisses, so be prepared for her licking your hand whilst you lie in bed. She doesn’t mind being picked up as long as she’s in a good mood at the time. She sheds a little, but absolutely nothing compared to the other animals I have and have not had. She’s so much fun to have around and I’m sure you’ll love her too!!

Story
Looking to rehome our cat Merlin. We’ve had him since he was 6 months old. He’s fixed and microchipped. Unfortunately, due to life events we can no longer provide the home he deserves. With our very busy schedules, he needs someone that is able to provide him a more stable home where he can receive the time and attention he deserves. He comes from a house with very small children and a medium size dog and has no issues with any occupants. Up to date on all vaccines and can provide a vaccination history from his current vet. Merlin eats urinary tract health dry food as he had urinary tract issues when he was younger. When extremely stressed, this can flare. Merlin is an indoor cat but is very curious about the outdoors. He loves sitting in the window watching the birds. His favorite toys are little pompom balls that he gleefully bats around the house. He will even play fetch when the mood strikes him. Merlin comes with a litter box, carrier, cat scratcher pad and a bag of pompoms.

Story
This handsome fluff is a sweet guy with special needs. He is a laid back boy who loves to eat, snuggle and sleep 💤 . He is such a good mannered boy! He is declawed, neutered and UTD on shots. His owner passed at 92 (several months ago). She told her family she never wanted him to end up in a shelter, however as life happens, he did. Add that to having special requirements…finding him a home has been nearly impossible. 😭 He is diabetic so he requires insulin shots two times daily and is on a prescription diet. If you can find it in your heart to give this deserving boy a home, he promises to be your very best friend. 🐾 Finally Home Animal Haven

DEUCE IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE HE IS ADOPTED! This is DEUCE.

He would probably do best with a gentle outgoing companion to help him get out of his shell. He  is neutered, has had all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and a confirmed NEGATIVE FIV/FeLV test.  His adoption fee of $295 also includes the transport to VA.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring her up north once she is adopted.
