Attention NTCR Community We are temporarily closing intake for NON-NTCR cats. Our resources and space are limited. If your cat is not from NTCR, you can contact the shelter or rescue where you adopted them or explore other rehoming options.
For Those Surrendering NTCR Cats Please do not abandon them or take to other shelters.
If you adopted your cat from NTCR and need to surrender them, please schedule an appointment with us (See link under the Adoption column). We may have a waiting list for openings in our foster homes, so your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for understanding and supporting our mission!
Osiris is a gorgeous, super chill, all around awesome and cuddly cat. He has very thick, plush fur. He's loves to be brushed and scratched. He’s very much a lap cat too! You’ll notice that he has a scratch that may be a permanent scar near his eye. This happened when he was living as a stray kitty. Osiris doesn't have a typical "meow" but rather a whirrrrr sound…you can check it out in his video. Osiris is FIV positive. If you’re not familiar with that, it stands for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Don’t let it scare you off…it is a virus that is not transmittable to other species and only spread from cat-to-cat via blood - so deep bite wounds or moms to babies. Veterinary medicine has learned a TON about the disease in recent years. It does not negatively affect a cat's life or lifespan nor does it impact their quality of life. FIV+ cats may have above average dental disease, i.e. need dentals sooner or more often, but there’s no way to determine if a cat falls into this category. It's not always a truism with every FIV+ cat. It's really important that when FIV+ cats are taken for yearly check-ups at the vet, their teeth are also checked.
