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!

West Highland White Terrier
Brimming with self-confidence, the wee white one is affectionate yet independent.
Height: 10 to 11 inches at shoulder
Weight: 13 to 22 pounds (males average 18 pounds, females average 15 pounds)
Coat: straight and harsh
Life span: 12 to 15 years
Breed Group: Terriers
The best way to describe this wee white terrier from Scotland is simply to say that he's so full of self-esteem that he knows he's the best thing around. Always on the lookout for a good time, he'll make you laugh while he entertains himself. He's friendly and happy, with a lively nature that endears him to everyone (except small rodents), especially when he cocks his head to the side and looks at you quizzically.
