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 Jasper — the boy who finally got to hear the best word in the world: YES. I don’t know how long I’d been waiting in that kennel — long enough to see my friends come and go, one after another. Every time someone stopped by, I’d sit up tall, purr my best purr, and hope maybe this time they’d choose me. But they never did. My heart got a little heavy, but I kept believing that my “yes” was out there somewhere. And then it happened. A kind volunteer looked over and said, “What about Jasper? Can he come too?” The foster said yes. Just like that, everything changed. I got to ride away from the shelter that day with my two friends, my little paws pressed against the carrier door, eyes wide with wonder. I could hardly believe it — the sunshine, the air, the promise of something new. Now I spend my days chasing toys, snuggling into warm laps, and sharing purrs with everyone I meet. I’m about six to seven months old, full of curiosity and love, and I’d really like a kitty friend to play with — I’ve always been happiest with a buddy by my side. They say I’m handsome (I won’t argue), but what makes me special isn’t just my tabby stripes — it’s my heart. I never gave up hope, and now I’m ready for my forever home. If you’re looking for a happy, loving boy who knows the meaning of second chances, I’m right here — waiting to hear yes one more time. Love,Jasper 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.

Not so long ago, I was all alone outside. I was covered in fleas, my ears hurt, and I didn’t feel very good at all. Mostly, though, I felt lonely. I didn’t know if anyone would notice me or care enough to help. But someone did. Someone scooped me up and showed me that kindness still exists. Now I’m safe. I’m healthy. And I’ve learned that I love cuddles — a lot. I’ll curl into your arms, press my face into your neck, and purr like I’m trying to say thank you for every warm moment. People are wonderful… but I was still missing something. A friend. That’s when Simba came into my life. He was rescued from a shelter — a place full of noise and uncertainty — and when we met, something magical happened. We weren’t just friends.We were soul brothers. We play together, nap together, and follow each other everywhere. If you see me, Simba will be close behind. If Simba’s curled up in a lap, I’m not far away. We sleep together, dream together, and sometimes even pile into foster mom’s lap together because being close feels like home. I’m about five months old now, and Simba is just a little older at five and a half months. We’re growing fast — growing braver, happier, and more hopeful every day. I don’t want to be without him. He helped heal the lonely part of my heart. All I wish for now is a forever home — one that understands that we come as a pair. A home that sees two handsome little faces and knows there is so much love behind them. A home that will spoil us, cherish us, and never let us feel alone again. If you open your heart to me…You get Simba too.And together, we’ll love you forever.

I was in a shelter, and while the people were kind, I didn’t know what my future would be. Every day felt like waiting… hoping… wondering if someone would choose me.Then I met him.Lil’ Blue was small, gentle, and needed a friend just as much as I did. The moment we were together, everything felt right. We played like we’d known each other forever. We curled up to sleep like it was the most natural thing in the world.He wasn’t just a buddy.He was my brother.Now we do everything side by side — chasing toys, tumbling around, falling asleep in warm piles. We adore sleeping with our foster mom, sitting in her lap, and soaking up all the love we can get. I’m just as much of a cuddle bug as Lil’ Blue — maybe even more — and I never say no to a good snuggle.I’m about five and a half months old now, and I’m learning that life can be really beautiful when you feel safe and loved.But as happy as we are here, we know this is just the beginning. We’re waiting for our people — the ones who will see us not as two cats, but as one bonded heart. The ones who will spoil us rotten, laugh at our antics, and let us sleep curled up nearby every night.Please don’t ask us to be separated.We’ve already found our forever friend in each other.Now we’re just waiting to find our forever home — together.Love,Simba & Lil' Blue*MUST be adopted together**Due to our size, no small children.*If you would like to meet your new best friends, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.

I’m a sweet, shy kitten looking for my forever home, and I’m hoping you’ll consider adopting me along with my brother, Howl. We’re an inseparable pair, and we’d be overjoyed to share our lives with you. At first, I might seem a bit reserved and shy, but it only takes me a few days to warm up to new people. If you approach me slowly and gently, I’ll start to feel safe and let you pet me! Food is definitely the way to my heart, so a little treat goes a long way in making friends with me. Once I’m comfortable and know I can trust you, I’ll come right up for cuddles. I love making biscuits on your lap and lying on the couch with you. I’m also a big fan of climbing and being up high, so you’ll often find me lounging on the tallest platform of our cat tree at home. I’m the SOFTEST kitty you’ll ever meet, and I absolutely adore other cats. My brother, Howl, and I are incredibly close. We snuggle and play together all day long, and I can’t imagine life without him. We truly make the perfect pair and bring so much joy to each other. I’m really hoping to find my forever home soon, and it would mean the world to me if I could find a home with you—and with Howl. We’re both affectionate and playful, and we promise to fill your days with love, laughter, and endless purrs. Thank you for considering giving us a chance. We can’t wait to become a part of your family and share our lives with you!

A little while ago, I was all by myself in a loud, echoing place called “the shelter.” I didn’t understand why I was there or where everyone had gone. Everything smelled strange, and all the noises made my little heart beat fast. Then one day, they opened my kennel door and put me in with two boys — Jasper and Flint. I wasn’t sure what to think at first, but they were kind, and for the first time, I didn’t feel so alone. And then something wonderful happened — we got to leave together! I didn’t know what “foster home” meant, but it turns out it’s a place with soft blankets, gentle voices, and people who smell like kindness. I’m still a bit quiet...a little shy, still learning that hands mean love and not fear, but I’m starting to purr more each day. I’m a diluted torti girl (that means I wear soft watercolor fur, or so I’m told), about as sweet as they come once you give me a little time. I'm about six months old. I’d love a home of my own — maybe one with another kitty friend who can help me keep believing the world is a safe, warm place. I may still be figuring it all out, but I know this much: I’m ready for love, safety, and a family that will never let me feel alone again. A few treats and some cuddles? Well… that sounds pretty perfect too. Love,Amber If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.
