Is it necessary to have an NVIDIA GPU on your system for Caffe.

No, you can use CPU mode as well. 
but it would take considerably longer compared to having a GPU available

That is true. I just wanted to add: If you want to use a GPU then it must from NVidia (Caffe uses the CUDA architecture), and a compute capability of at least 3.0 is preferable (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Supported_GPUs).
