NEW BEGINNINGS CAT RESCUE

New Beginnings Cat Rescue (NBCR) is a 501(c)(3), volunteer-run, no-kill cat rescue founded in 2005 that operates a foster-based model and rescues cats—with emphasis on last-chance and special-needs animals—from Garland Animal Control. The group places animals in foster homes and operates an in-store adoption presence at the Garland PetSmart adoption center. Over the last 2–3 years NBCR has continued steady operations as a small community rescue: recent Form 990-EZ filings show annual revenues in the roughly $70k–$85k range (2022–2024) and ongoing expenditures for medical care and placements. The organization also supports spay/neuter, trap-neuter-release (TNR) and low-cost medical assistance partnerships to address local cat overpopulation and help keep pets with families. NBCR is known for taking medically fragile or behaviorally challenged cats that are less likely to survive at animal control, working with partner clinics and national organizations to fund and provide treatment, and maintaining long-term community adoption and education programs.
