Kittens and cats in Alcoa, Tennessee

This 9 year old gal needs a home that is laid back. She loves to cuddle and pur herself to sleep. She doesn’t do great with dogs because she lost her leg due to one. I have sadly only had her for 3 months, but due to unforeseen circumstances I am having to move and cannot take her with us. She is the most loving girl in the world and just needs a calm home to live out her remaining years.

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, I'm Callie! I'm going to be honest with you — my story isn't a pretty one to start. The family I loved decided to move on without me. I don't know why. I just know one day everything I knew was gone, and I was absolutely terrified . But then came my foster home. Soft voices. Warm hands. Another kitty that has a crush on me. And slowly, gradually, I remembered how to trust again. Turns out, I'm actually pretty great company. I'm a cuddle bug with a sense of humor and a whole lot of love just waiting to be given to the right people.I'm about 1.5 years old, calico and gorgeous if I do say so myself, and I am ready for my people. I get along beautifully with other cats and dogs. I grew up in a home with other kitties, doggies and even a goat! (Mmm.... yeah, don't ask.) I will make you laugh. I will find your lap and stay there. I will be the best decision you ever made.I just have one small request — please don't leave me behind this time.I promise I am so worth staying for.

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?

PLEASE save us!   Hi. I'm Mr. T. I'm orange, I'm handsome, and I'm usually pretty good at keeping it together — but today I really need your help. My mommy has loved me since I was a tiny kitten. She knows exactly how I like to be pet, when I want to play, and when I just want to be near her. But she's not well anymore, and she had to go somewhere I can't follow. I don't fully understand it. I just know her smell is fading from the house, and it's the scariest thing I've ever felt. The only thing that makes it bearable is Sasha. She's my girl. My constant. When the world feels too big and too quiet all at once, I find her — tucked in the closet or curled beneath the bed — and I curl right up beside her. We don't even have to say anything. We just know. She keeps me grounded.  Occasionally, I get rambunctious, and try to get her to chase me.. Some of our favorite moments are the quiet ones — side by side in the window watching the world go by, or curled up together while the TV hums in the background. We balance each other perfectly, and honestly, I don't know who I am without her beside me. I need a new home by May 20th. That's not very far away. I'm about 3 or 4 years old, chill and easygoing, and I warm up to new people pretty quickly. I'm a little shy at first and I do love a good closet or the quiet underneath a bed. Just give me a little time and a little grace, and I promise I'll give you my whole heart. But please — take us together. Sasha needs me, even if she'll never quite admit it. And if I'm being honest, I need her even more. We are running out of time, and all we have is each other. Love,Mr. T & Ms. Sasha *Must go together.**Will be brought up to date on vetting before adoption.

PLEASE save us!    I don't usually speak first. I'm a proper lady — a little reserved, a little dignified, and very particular about who earns my trust. But today, I'm setting all of that aside. Because I'm scared, and there's no time left to be shy about it. I'm Sasha. I'm about 7 years old, a beautiful brown and white tabby, and I have been loved deeply my entire life. My mommy held me when I was just a kitten and never let me feel alone — not once. Now she's had to leave for somewhere that can care for her the way she always cared for us. My heart is so heavy I can barely find words. But then I look at Mr. T, and I breathe again. He is a chill guy that occasionally tries to get me to chase him around the house. I pretend I'm not amused. I usually am. But beyond the playfulness, he is my safe place. When everything feels uncertain and the house feels too still, he finds me — under the bed, in the closet, wherever I've tucked myself away — and he stays. No fuss. No questions. Just his warm little presence reminding me that I'm not alone. And on the sweeter, calmer days? We sit together in the window, watching birds and rustling leaves like it's the finest show on earth. We curl up side by side while the TV plays softly, and the whole world feels just a little more bearable. We have been each other's comfort through everything, and I cannot imagine navigating this without him. We have until June 1st to find a new home. Please let that sink in. I'm a calm, gentle soul. I don't ask for much — a quiet corner, a soft blanket, and someone with patient, kind hands. I do warm up, I promise. I just need a little time to know that I'm safe. We have only ever known love. We have only ever had each other. Please don't make us face whatever comes next apart. With all our heart, Ms. Sasha & Mr T *Must go together.**Will be brought up to date on vetting before adoption.

I wanted so badly to be touched, to be loved, but my paws hesitated. My heart whispered wait… is it safe? One day, it was. My foster mom’s kindness broke through my fear, and she brought me inside where the world was warm and safe. She worried for me out there—worried about a dog that was a little too curious, worried that my story would end before it ever really began. But now, I’m safe. Now, I’m a real inside cat… and oh, how I treasure it. See my tipped ear? That’s proof someone cared once, enough to have me fixed. But somehow, I ended up alone again. Still, I haven’t stopped believing in people. In fact, I’ll prove it—I’ll twine around your ankles until you bend down and scratch behind my ears. I’ll lean in, soft and trusting, asking you to stay.I get along wonderfully with other cats and even dogs, but what I crave most is you. Your touch, your voice, your love. I’ll sit in my blue cloth kitty box like a king on his throne, or curl by the window and watch the world outside, forever grateful that I don’t have to live it anymore. My meow may be tiny, but my heart? It’s enormous. I love food—soft meals, a sprinkle of cheese, even fish skin. But more than anything, I’m hungry for love, for a forever family who sees me not as a shadow but as a treasure they’ll never let go.Please… I’ve already spent too much of my life waiting. Don’t let me keep waiting. Will you be the one to love this silky mini-panther forever?
