Rescue cats from being euthanized at local shelter

When Max was a tiny kitten, he was adopted from the local kill Animal Shelter by, what he hoped would be, his forever family. Sadly, they returned him back to the Shelter citing that "he bites and scratches". Max was then labeled as a “biter” and as such, “not adoptable” unless released to a...

 Some cats are rescued more than once in their life. So it is for one special cat named Contessa or Tess for short. In January of 2008, NBCR rescued Tess from the animal shelter when she was just a baby and adopted her out soon after. Recently Tess was returned to us when her former owners brought home a puppy and Tess...

Though we are grateful for all the other cat rescue organizations that save adoptable cats from being euthanized, the cats that have minor injuries or illnesses are often passed by.

 In many cities, when a stray animal is dropped off at a shelter, it is mandatory to hold the animal for 72 hours. The main reason is that the animal is still considered to be owned by someone and the shelter cannot take ownership until after 72 hours. At that time the animal is considered adoptable, or not. The...

  Dear Supporters of NBCR, Each adoption brings joy to everyone involved in the rescue. Some cats wait a long time to find a family.

Have you ever felt like you were special to a cat? We all know they are very finicky, so when a cat chooses you over all others, one might say they adopted you.

We can all imagine being homeless and how awful that would be. Whether a homeless human or a homeless cat, it is heartbreaking.

While New Beginnings Cat Rescue has cats and kittens in all the usual colors of fur ready for adoption, the number of cats with black fur has increased, for the simple reason that black cats are the least adoptable of all their beautiful colors and patterns, regardless of personality.

Tri-Cities Animal Shelter asked for help for a special kitty named Bella back in January of this year. She had been adopted out and returned after only one day.
