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.  Hi, I'm Princess Mononoke! Yes, that's really my name. 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? Paws, purrs, and all our love,Princess Mononoke & Howl If you would like to meet your new best friends, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.

Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative.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. June 21, 2026, 4:54 am

I love everyone I meet — people, cats, you, your friends, the mailman — truly, I have never met someone I didn't immediately adore. I bring that same enthusiastic energy to playtime, to cuddles, and if I'm being completely transparent — to mealtime. Listen, the food here is excellent and I have zero shame about occasionally trying to sneak bites from Princess Mononoke's bowl. She is not amused. I think it keeps things interesting. But here's what you really need to know about me.Mononoke is my person. My sister. My whole heart walking around in a tiny, impossibly soft cat body. We have been through everything together, and I mean everything. We cuddle, we play, we nap in a pile, and we make every single day brighter just by having each other. I cannot imagine a life without her beside me, and honestly — I don't want to. So here's my very simple, very heartfelt request. Take us both. Love us both. Give us a forever home where we never have to wonder if we're safe or wanted again. We will repay you in purrs, cuddles, laughter, and more love than you probably thought two small cats were capable of giving.Spoiler — it's a lot.

Don’t ask how that happened — humans are strange, but I’ve learned to roll with it. I answer to both, especially if snacks are on the table. I’m nearly 8 years old now and would do well with older children. While I’m small in size, I carry a presence that fills the room. Small but mighty — that’s me. I’ve got a big personality tucked into this sleek little body, and I don’t mind letting you know when I have something to say. I’m a talker. I like to tippy-tap my paws and chatter when we have our conversations. It’s my thing. My four friends have found their new homes. Both sets where brother and sister and needed to go together. I'm kind of the 'odd girl out' but I'm just as darling. I've am quite affectionate. I'm a darling girl that would be a lovely companion and friend. I'd be just fine being your only kitty baby. Did you notice my HUGE beautiful eyes? Things are changing fast. I’m losing my home through no fault of my own, and I need to find a new one QUICKLY! Somewhere I can be myself — quirky, sweet, and full of stories to tell you. I’ve been through a lot, but I still believe there’s a perfect person out there who will see me and say, “Yes. Her.” Could that be you? With soft paws and a sassy spirit,Bagheera (or Gary, if that’s your vibe) *GUEST POSTING* If you would like to meet your new best friend(s), contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.
