Story
Here’s Herbie, my beautiful, smart 3 year old cat. I adopted him two and a half years ago from a shelter in New Fairfield. He loves to snuggle. He and I have spent lots of time together with him on my chest or on my legs, purring away. He waits for me at the door when I go out. Herbie loves food and I have been able to teach him a couple of tricks using the clicker method and rewarding him with treats. He needs lots of attention. He likes to play; for example, to chase down plastic spring-y toys. But doesn’t like anyone to touch his feet and he hates being in the car. Although most of the time he is a loving, lovable pet, Herbie bites, which is why I’m sadly giving him up.

Story
DAWN IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT 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 CT.  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.

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