Bombay kittens & cats in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

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.  Meet Mars, Mars came to me hungry and scared. I assumed he was feral so I fed him and approached him slowly over a couple of weeks. One day, I just decided to take the opportunity to pick him up and put him inside. Well, feral… nope! He melted in my arms as to say “thank you”. I'm pretty sure he thinks he’s a dog. He makes the sweetest “coos”, wags his tail when he’s happy and rolls over for belly rubs. He will also “talk” back to you as long as you can carry on a conversation with him.  He’s approximately 2 years old and is a small boy.If you’re looking for an absolute sweetheart of a kitty or the personality of a pup without the high maintenance, Mars would make the perfect addition to your home.   Meet Mars, Mars came to me hungry and scared.

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. July 20, 2024, 6:40 pm

Fritz is a very sweet and loving boy. He will make a fantastic companion. He is FIV+. He unfortunately doesn't like other cats . He wants all the attention for himself. If you give this sweet boy a chance you will not be disappointed.July 26, 2024, 12:43 pm

Franny is a wonderful frisky little girl. She is about 7-8 months old. She is very curious and loves to explore. You never know where you're going to find Miss Franny hanging out. Sometimes you open up a drawer in there she's sleeping. She has a very fun nature. She is very playful. It takes her while to get used to other cats. She will need a settling time to adjust to her new home situation. She's little but she's a bossy little lady in charge. She is a delight and you will enjoy her antics. She is loving and likes her ears and head scratched. She isn't a fan of being picked up so small children may not be a great idea.July 26, 2024, 12:43 pm

This charming little boy is ready to be pre-adopted and would love to find a forever home, especially if he could be adopted alongside one of his playful siblings.

Warring!&#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143&#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 This post is too cute!! Big Beautiful Ears Alert I am one of Momma Cake’s boy babies. I was born in early April. They call me Cup Cake. I am very playful. I love chasing my siblings around, wrestling with my brother, and playing with my new toys. I will let you pick me up and pet me, but I’m still a little shy. I use my litter box and am a good eater, currently weighing in at around 2 lbs. I am all black. I have started my vaccinations and have a follow-up appointment and neuter scheduled in July. If you are looking for an adorable but active little boy to join your family, I would love to meet you!July 26, 2024, 12:43 pm

Meet Rufus! He was a bottle-fed baby that was found at a couple of days old. If you want a ball of energy to keep you on your toes, Rufus is the boy for you! He’s all boy! He loves to have fun and LOVES his humans. If you pick him up, he’ll rub his little nose on your face in greeting and sometimes he gives kisses. He’s likes to stick his paws in water and he gets the zoomies often. He’s fine with dogs but he needs another cat to play with. He does have siblings that he loves to play with that will be available for adoption soon, so feel free to inquire about them with the foster if you’re interested! He’d do best with experienced cat owners that don’t have young children. If you want a loyal companion and don’t mind a little mischievousness, Rufus is the right kitten for you!July 26, 2024, 12:43 pm
