Story
PEEWEE IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED! This is PeeWee, a lovely small classic female kitty who was born around 6/28/2023.  She is a bit shy and reserved, but loves to roll over for a belly rub She loves NAPS under the covers.  She loves to be petted while on your lap.  The perfect work-from-home companion kitty.  She loves to play and loves all cat toys and is definitely loads of fun. 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.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring her up north once she 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
Georgie is part of a small colony that I have been feeding for a year. He is so sweet that I caught him easily, took him to get neutered and now he is in my guest bedroom with my foster kittens. He is real sweet with them. He lets me pet him and rolls over wanting his check rubbed. I can pick him up and hold him for a bit. He is full of purrs and has never tried to bite or scratch me. I just think he deserves to live inside, in a loving home. I can not keep him inside forever bc I have 7 indoor only cats of my own who will not tolerate another cat coming in. He’s very loving and purrs all the time. He is a gentle soul.

Meet Wisteria! 🌸 Wisteria is a curious and playful young kitten with beautiful tiger stripes and a personality just as striking. Bursting with energy, she’s always up for an adventure—whether that’s chasing toys, exploring every corner of the room, or chatting with you about her latest discoveries. Yes, Wisteria is quite the talker and isn’t shy about letting you know when she wants attention (or a snack!). When the excitement winds down, Wisteria loves to curl up in your lap for a cozy nap, purring herself to sleep. She’s being fostered in Madison, AL, in a home with both dogs and cats, and she’s learning to be a confident, social companion. Wisteria is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her core vaccines—ready to join her forever family. If you're looking for a kitten who will keep you entertained, fill your home with love, and always be by your side (or on your lap), Wisteria is your girl! Come meet this little tigress—you won’t be able to resist her charm!

These cats are in Harrisonburg, Virginia too!

DEUCE IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE HE IS ADOPTED! This is DEUCE. He is a gorgeous striped tabby. He will need a special patient person as he is still extremely shy.  With the right amount of patience, he will make a great kitty in a quiet home.  He is very food motivated.  He is not recommended for dogs or children. He would probably do best with a gentle outgoing companion to help him get out of his shell. He  is neutered, has had all age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and a confirmed NEGATIVE FIV/FeLV test.  His adoption fee of $295 also includes the transport to VA.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring her up north once she is adopted.

Please meet Cole. This very friendly and loving fella loves to play. He is black with a white patch under his chin and 3 white toes on his back left foot. After a play session all he wants is some affection and to lay on your lap for a nap. He was born in March of 2024. He has been neutered & is up to date on his vaccinations. This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
