Story
Still a bottle feeder, this kitten was trying to make it on his own. He cry’s sounded like a bird in a nest. He was starving and made his way under my neighbors house. I heard him one night under my bedroom window. He had to be trapped but one of my rescue dogs lured him inside out fence to drink water out of their doggy pool. There I found him again about to fall in and drown. He was helpless and got the milk and care he needed to survive. He was in bad shape from staying soaking wet for weeks. His skin was peeling off from the bacteria that the water caused. He’s ready to find a home with a new kitten living Humane that will keep him as an inside cat.

Story
Deo was a rescue as a kitten. He is 8 years old and very easy going. He has a funny meow and talks when he needs to. He loves to sit on your lap and his temperament is willing to put up with anything. I'm moving and travel for work and can no longer keep him or his brother as all my children have move out. He just needs to be in a loving home. We also have Dex who is also a rescue and when we got him they didn't think he would live. He is now the bigger of the 2. He is a cuddler but it is when he says so. If he wants your attention and your not giving it to him he will reach out to you....

Story
Willow is a very active and energetic 3 year old kitty who would prefer to be an indoor/outdoor cat. She loves to sun and watch birds outside, but also likes to curl up in a chair in a quite space for her catnaps. She was taken in when her previous owners moved out of state, and unfortunately we have all transitioned from working at home back to the office, and do not have the time to devote to her. She would do best with older children as she does not like to be held, but she loves her pets and likes to sleep near you. Willow comes with a litterbox, toys, and food/water bowls.

Story
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.  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.
