In the shelter’s words

Our website is updated dailyIf you have previously adopted from NAR, send an email to narcats@gmail.com. We keep all applications on file, there is no need to fill out another. Hoagie is an adorable Chinese hamster with a bit of a mysterious side. You might even call him a little “ghost hamster” because he’s so good at staying hidden! Spotting him during the day can feel like a special treat. Originally purchased for a young child, Hoagie found himself in a home that wasn’t the right fit, especially with a curious cat around. Thankfully, he’s now safe and looking for a quieter, more suitable forever home. He would do best with someone who understands that hamsters like Hoagie prefer a calm environment where they can feel secure and come out on their own terms. With patience and the right setup, he’ll continue to grow in confidence. If you appreciate a more low-key, fascinating little companion and enjoy those “peek-a-boo” moments, Hoagie might just be your perfect match. Nocturnal and crepuscular: This hamster is most active during the evening and early morning hours, making it a great companion for those who are awake during those times. Very active: Expect your new friend to be highly energetic and playful, especially during its peak activity periods. A hamster wheel, tunnels, and toys will keep it entertained and help it burn off energy. Experienced handler: Due to its energetic nature and occasional nipping, this hamster would thrive in a home with an experienced pet owner who understands its behavior and needs. Please fill out a Small Animal Adoption Application. All questions may be directed to narcats@gmail.com. All correspondence will be initiated through email until approved.
