Story
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, I'm Ernest (aka Ernie)!I'm a handsome, sleek, three-month-old Bombay baby, and I've got a confession to make: I used to be the shy one. 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. 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.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. October 9, 2026, 2:19 am

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.

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?

Since we are foster based, this limits the amount of people coming to our homes.  Hi I'm Cecil! I've got a brother named Ernest, and we're about three months old. He's my other half, honestly — where I go, he goes, and that's just how it's always been. We're black Bombay kittens, sleek and shiny like little panthers, and if you ask me, I think we're pretty darn handsome. But looks aren't even the best part about us — the best part is that we're kittens through and through. We want adventure. We want mischief. Basically, we're ready to cause a little chaos and a lot of joy. I'm an outgoing little boy, and I'll march right up to you, headbutt your hand until you pet me, and turn into a full-blown cuddle bug the second you sit down. I don't really believe in strangers — just friends I haven't head-bonked yet. And Ernest? He's just as cute as I am. He used to be a little more cautious, but that boy is coming out of his shell and is getting it all figured out with me.  Here's the thing you really need to know about us, though: we can't be split up. If I wander somewhere Ernest can't see me, he lets me know about it — loudly. And the second he does, I come running — every single time. We're a team, through and through, and we're a lot more fun that way too. Our mama was a sweet semi-feral calico named Cordelia. She started hanging around a family's home, and they took care of her the best they could — until one day she showed up expecting kittens. That's how Ernest and I came into the world, and into rescue. But here's the happy part: Cordelia gets her own happy ending too. She chose that home, and now she gets to stay there for good. As for me and Ernest? We're still looking for our forever people. Two bold, confident troublemakers, ready to fill your home with purrs, chaos, and cuddles — completely ready to steal your heart (and probably your favorite pen too). If you've got room for double the trouble and double the love, I'm ready when you are. Love,Cecil & Ernest    *Due to size, no small children ****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.
