Story
Nasa is 7 year old, I adopted him at 24PetWatch in 2018. Nasa is a cat who desperately needs to be loved — you can see it just from his eyes. At the same time, he is also very jealous and possessive. After a few more cats joined our home, he became very insecure and started pooping and peeing everywhere. We tried many things — giving him good food, playing with him, using sprays that are supposed to calm him down — but none of it worked. On top of that, my wife left the United States, and I was struggling with depression myself. I simply wasn’t able to take proper care of him. To stop him from making a mess in the house, I had no choice but to keep him in the backyard. He stayed there alone, but he would always stand by the window or lie on the table by the window, watching everything happening inside the house. He longed to come back in. I saw all of this, and it broke my heart, but I didn’t know what else I could do. He loves being loved.

Story
Merlin is a VERY special boy! He is beloved in our home. He is our youngest of 3 that we adopted a year and 3 months ago. He is so cuddly and likes to be held like a baby. Sometime we think he’s a dog because he’s so social and fun! And has a lot of energy. The reason we’re rehoming him is because he doesn’t get along/hunts our other cats. He loves them sooo much, but cannot stop hunting them. So, he needs to be in a home without cats. He’s never met a dog but I think he would do way better with one. He also has some medical problems (special needs kitty). He has a twitching problem where his feet and body twitch throughout the day. He is on gabapentin to help. Thankfully he takes his medicine very well! The vet doesn’t know why he twitches but thinks it might be a type of seizure. He is an amazing loving boy and deserves a great home with patient parents. If we don’t find a home for him, we may have to euthanize him….since not many people want a special needs cat. please save him!

Story
I got meena on my birthday and I took her with me to college where she got along with my other cat and my roommates cat. She loves to overeat so make sure to measure her kibble. It might take awhile for her to get used to you and cuddle up next to you but she loves getting her head pet. Someone who doesn’t have a cat or has experience with a cat would be perfect for her. She loves playing outside and looking outside of windows and she loves churu treats. She’s pretty defensive when it comes to new things as most cats are but with dedication to get her adjusted she is comfortable.

Story
Stella is an adorable DSH black female born approximately 5/20/2025. Stella and her foster brother, Astro, were rescued from being homeless. Thankfully a good Samaritan rescued her and asked NBCR for help in finding her the perfect home. They are a bonded pair, so would prefer a fur-ever home where they can stay together if possible.    Stella is a petite little girl with a gorgeous silky black coat. Don’t let her size fool you though.  Even though they are the same age, Astro is much bigger than her, but that didn’t phase her one bit.  She is an energetic and inquisitive girl who enjoys chatting with you especially at mealtime, when greeting you, or wanting you to turn the faucet on to a slow drip for her drinking pleasure. She does enjoy playing a good game of fetch with her favorite toys. She frequently chases her brother around the room, playing and stealing whichever toy with which he is playing.  They both love tunnel toys, cardboard boxes, tissue paper and chasing wand toys or the laser. She has been trained to use a corrugated cat scratcher.  Stella is microchipped and her adoption fee is $105. December 4, 2025, 12:52 pm
