My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Penny is a beautiful DSH Calico female born approximately 9/1/2023. Her coat is very striking as it is a combination of calico, tortoiseshell, and tabby. Her eyes and eyeliner are a lovely copper color.

Penny came to NBCR through a neighborhood TNR. An NBCR volunteer was helping a neighbor and agreed to transport and hold Penny for the recovery period, then she was to be released back into the neighborhood. Once inside, though, it was clear that this tiny 6-pound girl was just too little, too sweet, and too loving to be put back outside. It's hard to believe such a gentle little girl was managing on her own!

Right now Penny is enjoying being inside with a nice, comfy bed (or 2!), plenty of food, and lots of love. She is also discovering the pleasure of scratchers, toys, and treats. She is remarkably well-adjusted and confident for being outside on her own.  "She is just so stinkin' cute!" can be heard about a thousand times a day in Penny's foster home.

Penny is extremely affectionate and likes nothing better than to curl up in your lap, knead, and purr up a storm (and has recently been known to do a little drooling.) Although she would be happy to be with peeps 24 hours a day, she is quite content in her foster room playing on her own, watching birds and neighborhood activity from the window, or taking a little nap. Her favorite toys are puff balls and Da Bee wand toy. She has very good kitty manners and uses her litter box faithfully.

We aren't sure how Penny will be with other cats and dogs. She is in a foster home with other cats, but hasn't spent time with them yet. She does allow her foster mom to carry her throughout the house to say "Hi!" though. :) 

Penny is currently eating Purina One Advantage turkey hard food and Fancy Feast canned food. (She's not a fan of pate.  The neighbor was feeding her Costco rotisserie chicken, so she's a bit spoiled... haha)

If you are looking for a too cute little lovebug, Penny is your girl!

Penny is microchipped and currently in a foster home. Her adoption fee is $105.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our focus is to place animals in loving, permanent homes where they will be cared for responsibly. Potential adopters or fosters are screened, up to and including home visits. We reserve the right to refuse placement of an animal for any reason. We thank you for understanding.



Adopters must be 21 years or older and willing to invest the time and money required to care for a pet. In addition to providing love and attention, regular medical care is required. Please ask if you would like more information about veterinary fees and costs.



Our animals come from a variety of situations. Some have been dumped at shelters or vets, and many are ill or malnourished when rescued. Although the animal has been in a protected environment, there is the possibility of unrecognized illness appearing after an adoption is finalized, especially because of the stress the animal may experience during the first few days at its new home. We advise adopters of the animal's known history and provide its veterinary records, but frequently we know only what the animal chooses to tell us. We cannot make any guarantee regarding the long-term health of any animal. Adoption fees are generally not refundable unless prior arrangements are made.



If you feel that you are ready to adopt, please e-mail adoptions@nbcrtx.org for prompt attention. A NBCR adoption counselor will contact you to arrange an interview.
