ANBAR primarily focuses in the Weber/Davis County region, but we also accept transfers from throughout northern Utah and surrounding states. Our goal is to reduce unnecessary euthana

I don't want to wait anymore! Do you want a sweet lap 🐈 who will gladly accept a role as your Emotional Support Animal (ESA), 💞 best friend and companion?

Purrfect, that's me... Delphine! 😻 I'm affectionately referred to as Mama Delphine since having birthed four kittens at my young age (I'll be two in December). I was a wonderful momma and knew just what to do so that they could find families of their own.🧍‍♂️🐈‍⬛️🧎‍♀️Now, I'm looking for that special someone who will make me feel valued!❣️

You see, I vaguely remember being loved, in a warm home 🏡 with a family who cared for me until I became pregnant at which point, they dumped me without looking back. 💔 Since then, I've had to learn that not all humans will let me down.

After all I've been through, I would thrive in a quiet environment as an only cat.❤️‍🩹 At least for now, until I can grow more confident and trusting.

I like quiet places away from adult male cats. My foster cats have been nice to me and want to make friends, but that's a big NOPE for me. 😿

I don't generally venture far from the cat room even though I have the opportunity to explore. 🗺 But, I want to learn, so maybe you can help me?! In the meantime, I am the Queen 👑 of the couch 🛋 and I love to spend one-on-one time with my foster momma! She says I'm quite vocal and so sweet. 😹

In fact, when you see me in the habitat at Petco, that is a more accurate reflection of my personality. 😻💋Just ask the people at Petco who help clean and feed me - they can reiterate just how sweet I am!

I love the attention... I want the attention, 🩵💜🩷 I just need to know you aren't going to grow tired of me and get rid of me!

I'm a really good girl too! 😽 Despite all that I've been through, I do not have any bad habits! I am a pro at using the litter box 📦 I won't scratch you or the furniture, and I will spend most of my time sitting with you watching 📺 TV!

If you're looking for a truly special sweet companion who deserves a second chance, PURRTY please consider adopting me. 📝

📱 schedule a time to meet me, fill out this app and let's make this the BEST day for both of us!!! 🐾 ❤️ I promise to bring joy and love to your home.

Who doesn't love a Ginger 🐈⁉️

The great thing about going through A New Beginning Animal Rescue is that we nurture and socialize these 😸 like they are our own, in our own 🏡. They are all dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered!

Did you know 80% of all orange cats are male??? However, both Zena & Harleena are little girls!

Let us know which of these cuties you want to meet. 🤗 You do NOT need to wait until our weekly adoption event. Let's set up a time to meet and ADOPT TODAY! 📝

Mico & James quickly formed a bond and leaves us envious of the trust they have for one another. We simply can't tear them apart!

Delphine is hoping this is HER week! Someone has got to want an ESA 🐈 with whom you can develop an inseparable bond. She wants to trust, and so do you... right? ✔️ or the cute video under her pic for a glimpse at her sweet demeanor!

We are SHOCKED Charlie didn't get adopted today!!!

Everyone wants a kitten or a Maine C**n... well, here's your chance! 🤞🐾

Hi, I'm Charlie! 😻
I'm a 3-year-old beautiful Maine C**n mix that found myself homeless but I really don't remember how, or why! 🙀 Furr-tunately, I happened upon the right door who let me in and has been helping me ever since! But, I still want a 🏡 to call my own.

Like any long-haired 🐈, I require a little more maintenance to ensure i don't get matted furr, but I actually love being brushed!

People say that I have the sweetest meow and that I'm a perfect gentleman with the litter 📦. I'm not at all a picky eater. 😹

Crinkle and kick toys are the BEST! 💞

I'm a sweet boy who loves to be held and loves cuddles, just watch my cues. 😼 If I tense up and my tail twitches, set me down for a bit. That means I need a minute to decompress.

None of us are purrfect, right? My only flaw is that my previous owners likely taught me to play with hands 👐 when I was little, so I sometimes forget they aren't toys 🧶🪶 and will bite if I think you're playing, or if I get overstimulated.

I would do really well in a family with adults or older children who can give me the ❤️ and training that I need.

I'm an ALPHA and would much rather be the ONLY 🐈 for my human. Other cats just bother me and I can get moody so let's play it safe and have our own love 💞 fest!

I haven't really been around dogs 🐶... but, who knows, if they respect me, then we may be great!

Come on, give me a chance! I'm truly a gentle giant... with an occasional mood swing!

You see, I was living with a 🐈 colony in Sunset when some really great people trapped me to get spayed. I took advantage of that opportunity to show them how sweet I was and they kept me! 😽 Can you believe it?! My foster momma could see how much I enjoyed getting lovin’s. 💞

The doctor who spayed me, noticed that I have a genetic birth defect which makes my third eyelids 👁 visible. I can see just fine and am healthy otherwise but sometimes there are some minor obstructions because those dang lids are ever so slightly in the way. 😸

Since I came from a colony, I tolerate other 🐈 really well! I've not really been around 🐶 or kids but I'm sure we'd do just fine if they didn't bully me around. I'm pretty lax and am not bothered by much. Though I certainly wouldn't complain at having a more peaceful 🏡!

I have really good manners and I'm a very well-behaved little girl, you'll see 👀!

Everyone comments on how I'm the most snuggliest, buggliest baby ever!!! 😻 I will flop on your face and give little kisses 💋 and I have super dainty meows that will just melt your heart❤️. Come to my foster home and see for yourself!

I do not generally attend the adoption events because I'd much rather meet in my own surroundings which is great because it gives us a chance to get to know each other! So, what do you say... do you want to meet me today?? 😽💋💕

Meet Joe – The School Hallway Heartthrob!Hi! My name is Joe, and I’d really like to tell you my story.Once upon a time (...

Meet Joe – The School Hallway Heartthrob!

Hi! My name is Joe, and I’d really like to tell you my story.

Once upon a time (okay, not that long ago), I was living the high life as the unofficial mascot of St. Joseph’s High School. Yep, you read that right—I used to strut the halls like I owned the place. I’d cruise around, peek into classrooms, and stop by the office to work my magic on the ladies. They said I was “too distracting” for the students, but honestly, can you blame them? With my striking tabby stripes, curious eyes, and irresistible charm, I was basically the most popular kid in school.

But as much fun as it was, my foster dad knew it wasn’t safe for me out there. Busy streets, scary coyotes, no warm bed to curl up in—that’s no life for a handsome boy like me. So he called in reinforcements: my foster mom. She scooped me up, told me I was safe now, and promised me love, warmth, and full bowls of food. (Best. Rescue. Ever.)

Now I’m living in foster care, and let me tell you—I’ve discovered what home life really means. My two human sisters (ages 6 and 15) are the best. I give them nose boops, snuggles, and my famous purr-roars whenever they need a pick-me-up. Honestly, I think they’d give me an A+ in cuddling. My foster mom calls me a gentleman because I’ve never had an accident outside my litter box. I keep myself clean, use my manners, and I even sit nicely when I know treats are coming. What can I say? I’m a classy guy.

Oh, and the toys. Don’t even get me started on the toys. Little balls, feathers, crinkly tunnels—you name it, I’ll chase it. But my absolute favorite is the cat tree. It’s basically my jungle gym, throne, and napping pod all in one. I love scaling it like an Olympic athlete, curling up inside the cubby for a power nap, or launching surprise attacks on my foster siblings when they least expect it (gotta keep life exciting!).

Speaking of siblings, I’ve met quite a few here. There are three other cats, and my favorite buddy is Frank, the tuxedo gentleman. He and I get along just fine. The dogs, though? Ehh, they’re okay… in small doses. Honestly, I’d be happiest in a home where I don’t have to share too much attention with woofers. I’d really prefer being the center of the universe—your best buddy, your lap-warmer, your shadow, your ride-or-die.

I’m the kind of cat who wants to be where you are. If you’re reading, I’ll be on the couch beside you. If you’re cooking, I’ll supervise from a safe distance. If you’re watching TV, I’ll curl up in your lap or lean against you so you know I’m there. I’ve got just the right mix of silly playfulness and sweet snuggles, and my mission in life is to make my humans smile.

So, what do you say? Are you looking for a cat who will love you endlessly, keep you entertained with goofy antics, and greet you every single day with heart-melting eyes and a roaring purr? Because that’s me, Joe. The high school hall-pass rebel turned forever-home dreamer. 💛

I can’t wait to meet you—and I hope you’re ready to fall head over paws for me.

Hi, are you looking for a best friend, brother / sister duo? Purrfect, because we are looking for a family!

Hi, I'm Miche... a darling little lady who was caught as a TNR kitten along with my brother Rory. Everyone quickly realized how friendly we are so they refused to release us. Instead, they are helping us find a family!

My foster parents have been so excited to see me bloom into the sweetheart I am now! They say it's so heartwarming because I am a little purr engine when you pick me up to give me snuggles. I am such a gentle sister with all the other kittens too!

I'm not exactly playful like others my age. In fact, I'm far more relaxed than would be expected and have no problems lounging around the house like the glorious little princess that I am.

My brother Rory is a rambunctious little guy! We were born in March and he definitely shows it since he's so energetic. I get tired just watching him! That's why we make such a great team! You get affection from me and playful from him!

He's a resounding little hoot, let me tell ya! As crazy as kittens come and when it’s time to play its usually better for you to just get up on your counters to avoid his zoomies. He thinks it's so fun to get all the attention that he just shows off!

It's still an adjustment for him to get lovin’s and sometimes he will run when approached but he really has come leaps and bounds from when we first entered our foster home.

When he realizes its time for pets, Rory immediately settles into your arms and will purr away.

Simply put, he's as charming as he is silly and everyone who meets him, loves him all the more for it.

We are such good kittens and we purr-omise to bring you love and entertainment. The great thing about adopting both of us, is that you don't have to acclimate! We already know and love each other. Remember, two kittens are always better than one because we ALL need a friend, right?!

What do you say? Do you want to adopt us today??? We want to stay together, so please don't try to split us up!

Our Story

A New Beginning Animal Rescue (ANBAR) is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit Utah-based organization. Our goal is to thoughtfully reduce unnecessary euthanasia rates; improve Weber and Davis Counties’ animal welfare with compassion and respect through community building and public education on the mutual benefits of responsible pet parenting; and enhance the quality of life of companion animals in need of a new beginning and a forever home. We strive to ensure that each and every animal rescued by ANBAR is cared for; treated with compassion, respect, and dignity. While we are located in the Roy-Layton-Ogden, UT area, we also partner with local and regional groups and accept transfer rescues from throughout northern Utah and the surrounding states. ANBAR does not turn away any companion animals but welcomes them regardless of their condition and do not place a time limit on their stay with us. We believe that euthanasia should be used only as a humane last resort, to prevent further animal suffering – such as when an animal is terminally ill, critically injured, or dying. ANBAR embraces a multi-prong strategic service approach to contribute to reach our goal of reducing the number of adoptable animals euthanized each year. Our services include: *Rehoming and Adoption opportunities and events for ANBAR companion animals *Spay/neuter of ANBAR animals, to effectively reduce the problems of pet overpopulation *Veterinary care for ANBAR animals *Volunteer foster care program to provide housing for rescued or surrendered companion animals, until a qualified forever home is found *Volunteer foster care for special needs animals *Volunteer public education and training programs Rehome and Adoption Opportunities and Events: ANBAR is gratified to have a long-standing special partnership with Petco in holding adoption events every Saturday - without exception - at the Petco store in Layton, UT, since our inception in 2008. Additionally, up to 3 kittens and young cats are displayed at the Petco store for adoption, and rotated weekly to increase visibility and opportunity. Nearly 5,000 companion animals (kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs – and rabbits) have found homes through our adoption events as a result of this joint endeavor.
