Kittens and cats in Alcoa, 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.  URGENT!!! Hi, I'm Mr. Kitty. My story didn't start out easy. I was found as a tiny kitten, all alone, with no one to look after me. I wasn't healthy, and for a while it looked like I might even lose an eye. It was a scary way to begin. But then some wonderful people gave me a chance. With their care and the help of a great vet, I made it through. I'm in perfect health now — both eyes, a strong body, and a heart that never stopped hoping for something good.The family who saved me loved me well, and my dad has taken such good care of me. But now he's the one who needs care. He has a heart transplant coming up soon, and he's scared and worried — not just for himself, but for me too. He wants to know I'll be safe and loved while he focuses everything he has on getting well. That's why I need to find my new home now, before his surgery, so his heart can be fully on healing, not on worrying about me. I promise I'm easy to love. I'm a handsome herringbone tabby with the cutest little spots on my belly — my family always said I was one of a kind, and I like to believe them. I'm a cuddle bug through and through — happiest curled up on a warm lap, soaking in every bit of affection I can get. I'm a perfect gentleman, gentle and easygoing with everyone I meet. I love people, I love dogs, and I especially love other kitties — I'd give anything to have a friend to share my days with. I've already come so far from where I started. All I want now is a soft place to land — a family, a friend, and a lap that's mine. I know it's out there. I just haven't found it yet. And right now, my dad needs to know I'll find it soon. Please, if you can open your heart and your home, reach out today. Time is short, and so is his. I've already come so far from where I started. All I want now is a soft place to land — a family, a friend, and a lap that's mine. I know it's out there. I just haven't found it yet. If you think it could be you, I'll be waiting. Love,Mr. Kitty Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative.

But not anymore.There was a time when the world felt pretty big to me. New sounds, new faces, new places — it was a lot, and I used to get scared more easily than I wish I had. But I worked at it, little by little, every single day, until one day I realized something: I wasn't scared anymore. I was just having fun.Now? I'm a playful, happy little troublemaker, and I regret nothing. I chase things. I pounce on things. I get into all kinds of harmless mischief, and I love every second of it. My brother Cecil probably thought he'd always be the bold one, but these days I'm right there with him.Cecil and I are still a team, through and through. If he wanders off somewhere I can't see him, I let him know about it — loudly — and he comes running back every single time. That's just how we work. We're better together, braver together, and honestly, a lot more fun together too.Our mama, Cordelia, is a sweet calico who found her own happy ending — she chose a family, and they chose her right back, so she gets to stay in that home forever. I'm so glad she got that. Now Cecil and I are ready for our own forever too — a lively, playful home that can keep up with two confident little troublemakers who are more than ready for adventure.If you've got room in your heart for a happy, silly, fully-out-of-his-shell kitten (and his equally bold brother), I'd love to meet you. We're ready when you are.Love,Ernest & Cecil *Due to size, no small children****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.If you would like to meet your new best friends, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.

I don't know a gentle way to say this, so I'm just going to say it plainly: my mommy is losing her home. It's not her fault — nothing she did wrong, nothing she could have stopped. But because of it, Violet and I are about to lose the only safe place we've ever known. And I'm scared. Please, please read this. I need you to understand something about us first, though. Violet and I — we've already survived the unsurvivable. We were born on a property that was being cleared, and our mama had to run for her life. She couldn't get back to us. We were left behind, just the two of us, the only ones in our whole litter who made it. We were tiny. Dehydrated. Cold. Starving. Covered in fleas. We looked like two wrinkled little old ladies — that's actually why we got our names. And through all of that, do you know what we did? We clung to each other. We held on. And somehow, together, we lived. That's who we are at our core. We are proof that love and togetherness can pull you through anything. And now we need somebody to prove that to us one more time. Since then, we've grown into these silly, beautiful, affectionate girls, and I want you to know exactly who you'd be welcoming in. Violet is punctual about her dinner — she'll nudge you or pat your ankle with her paw like a tiny alarm clock, and she does not appreciate lateness. I have my own quirk too — I like to drink from the bathroom faucet, and I will patiently wait right there until you turn it on for me. We both go feral for wand toys and could stalk a laser light until the end of time. And when the zoomies hit? We are, without exaggeration, the best comedy show in town. We LOVE Temptations and Churu — offer us either and we are yours instantly. I enjoy a little catnip now and then; Violet, on the other hand, wants absolutely nothing to do with it — very much a 'just say no' kind of girl. Give us a cozy hideout up high, or better yet, an empty cardboard box, and you will have handed us the keys to paradise. Given everything we've already survived out there, we're hoping for a home where we stay safely inside — we're strictly indoor-only girls now, and that's exactly how we'd love to stay. Warm, protected, and never out in the world alone again. We are seven year old cuddle bugs and we are the Venus & Serena of champion world class biscuit makers. But please, understand this above everything else: we are a package deal. Our bond isn't something that can be split — it's the thing that kept us alive when nothing else could. Whoever takes us in gets double the love, double the silliness, and a bond so strong it survived what should have been unsurvivable. We don't have much time left to find that person. Please — if you have room in your home and your heart for two little old-lady-named survivors who've already proven just how much love they can give, reach out today. We're waiting, and we're hoping with everything we have that it's you.

I never thought I'd be the one writing this. My mommy is losing her home — through absolutely no fault of her own — and because of that, I'm losing mine too. It's not fair, and it's not anybody's doing, but here I am anyway, scared and hoping someone out there has room for a good boy like me. Let me tell you who I am, because I promise I'm worth the rush. I'm about 7 or 8 years old, a classic herringbone tabby — what you might call a Standard Issue Cat, if such a thing existed. But look closer: white feet, white undercarriage. I'm not standard. I'm the sport model. I was born in a grungy old mechanics garage, and life wasn't kind to me right out of the gate — another cat there used to bully me when I was just a kitten. But somehow, none of that turned me bitter. I grew up silly, friendly, and full of love anyway. I think that's something to be proud of. I am an absolute menace to wand toys. Give me something dangling and I will leap, jump, and pull off acrobatics that would honestly surprise you. A piece of string doesn't stand a chance — I will hunt it to the ends of the earth. When I'm not busy being an athlete, I love a few crunchy treats, a little catnip to unwind, and if you really want to make my whole life, hand me some Churu. I will love you forever. I already sort of do. I get along fine with other cats and dogs, though I'll be honest — I like my own space sometimes. A little me-time never hurt anybody. But when it's time for cuddles, I am ALL IN. I'll flop right down beside you for naps and head scratches, purring this deep, rumbly purr like a tiny engine. My meow isn't even really a meow — it's more of a 'merp.' It's a whole personality on its own. More than toys, more than treats, more than anything — I just want to be near my person. Sharing snacks, sharing a couch, sharing all the love I've got saved up. Being an inside cat, safe and warm, right next to you? That's my whole dream. I don't have much time to find that dream again. Please, if you have room in your home and your heart for a silly, affectionate, acrobatic tabby boy, reach out now. I'm waiting, and I'm hoping so hard that it's you.

And yes, I fully live up to it.I'm a soft, sweet, slightly shy girl with a heart full of love and a brother I simply cannot live without. His name is Howl, and together we are absolutely everything — snuggled up, playing, chasing each other, and generally making life more magical just by existing. We come as a pair. A package deal. A royal duo, if you will. I'll be honest — when I first meet you, I may play it cool. I'm a lady of mystery at first. But give me a few days, approach me gently, and maybe offer a little treat — and I promise, I will bloom. Before you know it, I'll be in your lap making biscuits like it's my full time job. Because it is. I am the softest kitty you will ever touch in your entire life. I need you to know that.I love climbing to the highest spot in the room, curling up on the couch, and keeping your lap warm while you work. I adore other cats, I adore Howl, and I will absolutely adore you. All we're asking for is a forever home — one with soft blankets, patient hearts, and enough room for two kitties who love each other fiercely and will love you just as much. We are ready. Are you?

I will reach right out, tap you on the arm, and give you one good, pointed 'meeeOowww!' just so there's no confusion — Edith and I are waiting, and we'd appreciate some urgency, thank you very much. Edith has her own little quirk too — she likes to drink from the bathroom faucet and will patiently wait for you to turn it on for her. Both of us absolutely lose our minds over toys and laser dot hunting. We take off running full speed, and I promise you, it is the funniest thing you will ever see — we hit a corner too fast, lose all traction, and go sliding sideways like a couple of superbike racers leaning way too hard into a turn. We are not graceful. We do not care. It is a whole comedy show, every single time. We LOVE Temptations and Churu — offer us either and you'll have us for life.
