Story
MISS KITTY IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED! Miss Kitty is super fun to watch as she zooms back and forth and then snuggles up for a nap. After warming up to you, she loves to talk to you, wind around your legs, and get pets.  She would love a gentle male kitty and/or a super friendly dog to be friends with since she likes to play and then nap. She would do best in an adult home. They have been spayed, had all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and a confirmed NEGATIVE FIV/FeLV test. Her adoption fee of $265 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.

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.

Story
Gabby is a 6 year old tabby that we received from a work acquaintance that found a litter of kittens. Gab seemed pretty happy being an outdoor and indoor cat even after we adopted a black lab puppy named Pepper. She likes to sit in laps and kneed on blankets. She loves her wet food and tolerates her dry food. Everything sort of changed when we adopted an orange tabby Percy. Gab started to want to be outside more and more because she couldn't seem to cope with the kitten. We have given it almost a year and she is still unable to be on the same room with Percy without being on constant high alert or hissing at him. We tried to help make it work with pheromone oils and keeping an eye on things while they are in the same room but she's pretty miserable and I just don't think she's cut out for a multi cat family. I don't think it's fair to force her to remain in this situation and she's a very sweet cat otherwise. I hope someone can contact me to give her a good home.

Story
PORTABELLA IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED! Portabella is a gorgeous grey/white British/Domestic shorthair mix. She was loved by someone at some time but showed up at a colony one day to be fed. The colony caregiver noticed that she was definitely friendly and thought she was a "he" because there were no litters over several months.  One day she showed up terribly injured (having been caught in a car engine) and the caregiver reached out for help.  We sprang into action and got her to our vet, surgically repaired her broken jaw, and got pain meds for her carpal hyperextended leg.  We also discovered she had a spay tattoo and had been previously spayed.  After no-one came forward (no microchip) to claim her, one of our fantastic fosters agreed to make a spot for her and her beautiful personality blossomed during recovery. Portabella loves a cushy window seat to view the outside and make biscuits.  She LOVES her wet food (the diet during jaw repair) so she will likely beg for it. :)  She likes to snuggle but will get into "play" mode quickly with a few soft nibbles.  She would make a great kitty for a family with older kids familiar with cats. She prefers to be the only kitty, but will tolerate younger kitties. She has been spay/neutered, microchipped, had all age appropriate vaccines, and a confirmed negative FeLV/FIV test.  The adoption fee of $295 includes the transport to PA.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will deliver Portabella up north to her new family. If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website and complete our adoption application at this link:  http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   Once your application is received and processed you will be contacted by an NBAR Volunteer.
