Story
HARDY (AKA MAHJONG) IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE HE IS ADOPTED! This is Hardy. He gets along great with everyone and other cats. He would do great  with a fun outgoing buddy to play with. Has been around dogs, but is shy of them. He is slightly shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he loves to be petted and snuggled with.  He is gentle but would be skittish around children or high/loud activity.  He loves to zoom to the highest cat tree tops and to watch the fish in the fish-tank. He has a very loud purr machine.  He would also be great if adopted with his sister, Laurel, but they are not bonded so they could go separately. He 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 up north.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring him up north once he 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
Say hello to Hilda! This pretty old lady came to us in October of 2025 due to the current pet in the home not accepting her. She is quite the shy girl, preferring to nap away on the top shelf of her kennel — until a tasty treat is offered, that is! Food is the quickest way to her heart, especially in the form of a lickable treat or wet food. Once she warms up to you, Hilda is a sweetheart who likes to cuddle and absolutely loves a good head scratch! She can be fairly vocal about things she likes (and doesn't like) and certainly demands the pampered life she deserves. We have not seen much playful behavior from Hilda, but we suspect she likes to play when no one's watching as her toys are always moved around. In her previous home, it became evident that Hilda prefers a chill life. She'd do best as the only cat in the home or with a male cat companion. We have not seen her with dogs. Hilda is great with respectful, calm children but fearful of younger and louder children. Hilda is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Story
Meow meow was adopted from the Antietam humane society! He does fantastic with children of all ages and loves snuggles and being right by your side. Unfortunately due to a separation and the selling of a house, neither myself nor my ex will be able to take him to our new apartments. He deserves a loving home where cuddles never run short and love is big
