☀️ It’s a Scorcher Today! 🥵
Temperatures are soaring, and that means it’s TOO HOT for little paws on pavement!

🐾 If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for theirs!
👉 Walk pets early in the morning or after sunset
👉 Keep them hydrated and indoors with fans or AC
👉 Never leave pets in a parked car — not even for a minute!

Let’s keep our furry friends cool and safe today. 💦🐱
Stay hydrated, stay kind, and stay paw-sitive!

💧 National Hydration Day Reminder! 💧
Did you know cats need about 3.5–4.5 ounces of water per 5 pounds of body weight per day? 🐱 That’s around one cup daily for a 10-lb cat!

Cats often don’t drink enough, especially if they eat dry food.

✨ Try these tips to boost your cat’s hydration:

✅ Add wet food to meals
✅ Use a cat water fountain
✅ Place water bowls in multiple spots

A hydrated cat is a happy, healthy cat! 💦

🐾 National Pet Choking Prevention Day – June 22 🐾

Today, we pause to honor the safety of our furry friends. Did you know that over 200,000 pet choking incidents occur annually in the U.S., many of which are preventable?

At New Beginnings, we believe that awareness is the first step toward prevention. Here's how you can help protect your pet:

⚠️Top Choking Hazards: ⚠️

🐶 For Dogs: Balls, sticks, chew toys, bully sticks, and food packaging.

🐱 For Cats: String, window blind cords, fishing pole toys, plastic, and rubber bands.

🗯️Safety Tips:

•Supervise Playtime: Always watch your pet when they're playing with toys or chewing on treats.

•Size Matters: Ensure toys and treats are appropriately sized for your pet's breed and chewing habits.

•Pet-Proof Your Home: Keep small objects, cords, and hazardous materials out of reach.

•Learn Pet First Aid: Knowing how to respond in an emergency can be life-saving. Consider taking a pet CPR and first aid class.

🗣️Join Us in Raising Awareness: 🗣️

Share this Post: Help spread the word about pet choking prevention.

Educate Others: Talk to fellow pet owners about potential hazards and safety measures.

Support Pet Safety Initiatives: Consider donating to organizations dedicated to pet safety and education.

Together, we can work towards a future where every pet is safe from choking hazards. Let's make every day a step closer to that goal.

📸🐾 Happy from the NBAR Kitties! 🐱💁‍♀️
Our feline friends have mastered the art of the purr-fect selfie — whiskers just right, ears perked, and eyes full of mischief! 😼✨

Whether it’s a cute smirk or a full-on glamour pose, these adoptable cats are ready for their close-up — and maybe a forever home too. 🏡💕

Drop your favorite pet selfie below and let’s celebrate the sass, the fluff, and the fabulousness! 😻📷

🐾🎉 Five more happy tails! 🎉🐾

We're thrilled to share that Randy, Cream, Tatum, Hazel, and Tabitha have all found their forever homes! 🏡💕

Thank you to their amazing adopters for opening your hearts and homes. You've given these sweet cats the love and second chance they deserve. 😻

Here's to a lifetime of purrs, playtime, and cozy cuddles. 🐱💫

🐾💛

This week, we're throwing it back to one of our favorite love stories: Brownie & her human, Carlos! 💕

Carlos is a volunteer, spending his week nights cleaning kennels, giving cuddles, and—unintentionally—falling head over heels for a shy little cat named Brownie. 🐱

Brownie wasn’t the easiest to win over at first, but Carlos’s quiet patience and gentle heart worked wonders. One day, Brownie climbed into his lap... and never really left. 😻

Now adopted and living her best life, Brownie is spoiled with window seats, endless treats, and more love than she ever imagined. And Carlos? He says adopting Brownie was “the best decision I never planned to make.”

Here’s to the moments that change lives—on both sides of the paw. 🐾💕

🐾 Cats of the Week! 🐾

Meet our Nice & Naughty candidates😻😼

✨ Nice Cat of the Week: Twizzler
Sweet as candy and twice as charming! Twizzler is a gentle cuddlebug who loves chin scritches, cozy blankets, and following you around like your little shadow. She’s the definition of purr-fection! 💖

😼 Naughty Cat of the Week: Chubby
This week’s “naughty” title goes to Chubby—not for mischief, but for missing his moment! He snoozed right through adoption hours, dreaming of tuna and sunbeams instead of meeting his forever family. 😴💤 What can we say? Beauty sleep is serious business.

Both are adoptable and ready to bring joy (and maybe a little chaos) to the right home! Come meet them during our adoption hours this week!
