Almost Home believes that every animal deserves a loving home regardless of appearance, age, or physical limitation. We have come together to give animals in need the safe and happy life they all deserve. Almost Home Animal Rescue believes that no animal is expendable.
Adopting a friend:
The animals, lucky enough to find refuge with Almost Home, are all in loving foster homes. If you are interested in the possibility of giving one of the animals a new lease on life, please contact us. The contact information is listed at the end of each biography.
What you need to do to adopt:
If you would like to adopt a pet in need from Almost Home, basically, an application must be filled out. We will check two personal references and a vet reference. If you are approved for adoption, there is a trial period of about one week to make sure this is the animal for you and you are the person for the animal. Along with the trial period, a contract must be signed that basically states that if ever you cannot keep the animal that you must return the animal to Almost Home. Last but not least, a home check will be done.
Meet & Greets:
An approved application is required. This does not mean that you have to adopt but that you are approved to do so if everything works out. Since we are foster based, this limits the amount of people coming to our homes.
Hi there… I’m Flint.
Sometimes, when the house is quiet and the stars peek through the window, I like to sit by the glass and make a wish. I’m not quite sure how wishing works, but I figure if I wish hard enough, maybe my forever family will hear me.
Not too long ago, I was all alone at the shelter — a little tabby boy with big eyes, a shy heart, and feelings too big for such a loud place. New situations still make me nervous, but back then, everything felt overwhelming.
Then something wonderful happened: they put me in a kennel with two other kittens, Jasper and Amber. Suddenly, I wasn’t alone anymore. Amber and I leaned into each other, huddled close, shared our purrs, and felt brave together. She makes me feel safe, and I think I do the same for her. We’ve been best friends ever since.
Now I’m in a foster home, and every day feels a little brighter. I’m still shy at first, but once I feel safe? Oh boy — that’s when you meet the real me. I’m a chunky, cuddly young man who wants all the attention. I love laps, I love being close, and I’m happiest when I’m soaking up pets like I’ve been waiting my whole life for them (because… I kind of have).
My foster says I’m a “cutie patootie,” which I’m pretty sure means my soft fur, round little body, and loud purrs are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do.
I’m about six to seven months old, full of sweetness, gentle affection, and quiet hope. Amber and I would really love our forever home together — we lean on one another, comfort each other, and make the perfect pair. With patience, love, and a little time, I promise we’ll fill your home with warmth, cuddles, and a whole lot of heart.
So tonight, when I look up at that same little star, I’ll keep wishing —
wishing that somewhere out there, someone is wishing for us too.
Love,
Flint & Amber
If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830. To fill out an application, go to www.almosthometn.org. If you cannot get it to work, let us know and we will email it to you in a different format.
Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative.
ADOPTION FEE:
The adoption fee for a cat is $85.
The adoption fee for a kitten is $100. The adoption fee does include the kittens being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets.
The adoption fee for a dog is $200.
The adoption fee for a puppy is $250. The adoption fee does include the puppies being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets.
Mature pet adoption fees are sometimes reduced.
The adoption fee for pure bred dogs and cats will vary due to health and age of pet. This helps support our ill animals and our mutts that get left in the system longer.
We do reserve the right to change the fees higher or lower due to the circumstance of the animal but what was stated above are the usual adoption fees. Microchipped pets will have a higher adoption fee. Our adoption fees do not cover the cost of the vetting and care the animal has received with us and if it ever does, the money just goes back it to helping other animals in need.
