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.*Sophie*June 2025 Birthday*Female Sophie is a Syrian hamster with a big personality and a determined spirit! Born from an accidental litter, she’s been handled and is social when awake, but she definitely likes to keep things interesting. This clever girl is an avid chewer, so she will not do well in a bin-style enclosure. She’ll need a secure, appropriate habitat designed for her strength and curiosity, along with plenty of enrichment to keep her busy and happy. Sophie will do best with an experienced owner who understands hamster behavior and can provide the right setup for her to thrive. Proof of proper habitat will be required. Her mom and brother have already been adopted, so now Sophie is ready to find a home that matches her energy and smarts! * She requires a large, safe enclosure (minimum 600 sq. inches of unbroken floor space) with a solid wheel, plenty of enrichment, and proper bedding for burrowing. Plastic bins will not be approved for female syrian hamsters. Potential adopters will need to show proof of a proper habitat setup before adoption. 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. Please check your SPAM folder. We follow 600-square inches (minimum) of unbroken floor space.
