Story
Meet John Doe John Doe arrived at Noah's Arc on February 26 after being left at our gate with no explanation and no one to tell us his story. We may never know where he came from, but after spending months getting to know him, we know exactly who he is. John Doe is the kind of cat who leaves a lasting impression. The moment you walk into the room, he's looking for you. If there's a perch nearby, don't be surprised if he launches himself five feet into the air just to be closer to you. He absolutely loves people and wants nothing more than to be part of whatever you're doing. His affectionate, outgoing personality is impossible to miss, and once you meet him, you'll understand why everyone here has fallen in love with him. Like all of us, John Doe has a few quirks. He prefers that you skip petting his hindquarters, and he'll politely let you know when he's had enough. Respect that one little boundary, and you'll have a devoted companion who is happiest soaking up your attention and returning your affection. John Doe has spent months waiting for someone to see what we see every day-a remarkable cat with an enormous heart who's simply looking for a family to call his own. He's more than ready to trade shelter life for a home where he can greet his people, claim the highest perch in the house, and remind you every day just how special rescue cats can be. Could you be the one to finally give John Doe the name that matters most: yours? Noah's Arc Animal Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue serving East Tennessee since 1991. We are committed to rescuing homeless dogs and cats, providing the medical care they need, and helping them find loving, lifelong homes. Every Noah's Arc cat is adopted out spayed/neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea & tick prevention, dewormed, examined by a veterinarian, and FIV/FeLV tested when age appropriate.

Story
Meet Greta! Greta is a beautiful young kitten with bright green eyes, a sleek black coat, and the sweetest little white “locket” on her chest. Born in May 2026, Greta is one of six siblings—Glimmer, Gizmo, Gigi, Gunner, and Goldie. Their mama raised them in the woods surrounding Noah’s Arc, where our volunteers brought food each day and slowly earned her trust. Once she realized she and her babies were safe, the little family was able to begin a brand-new chapter. Greta has quickly become one of the curious explorers of the bunch. She loves investigating new toys, checking out interesting corners, and turning just about anything into her next adventure. She is still learning that people can be trusted, so Greta will do best with a patient family willing to let her settle in and build confidence at her own pace. Her playful, curious personality shines more every day, and with kindness and consistency, we know she will continue to blossom. Greta is looking for a home where she can feel safe, loved, and free to keep exploring the world around her. Could Greta be the little adventurer your family has been waiting for?

Story
Meet Khloe! Khloe is a beautiful 9-year-old sweetheart who is ready for the next chapter of her life — a forever home of her very own. This senior lady is sweet, affectionate, calm, and wonderfully vocal. Khloe isn't shy about having a little conversation with you, and she has so much personality — and even more love — waiting to be shared. At 9 years young, Khloe would love nothing more than a safe, comfortable home where she can enjoy cozy naps, loving companionship, and the security of knowing she's finally home for good. Khloe still has so much love to give, and we hope her next chapter is the one where she gets to be someone's beloved companion. Khloe is: 9 years old Sweet and affectionate Calm and easygoing Very vocal Full of personality Looking for a loving forever home Senior cats have so much to offer, and Khloe is ready to show someone just how wonderful life with a sweet, loving older cat can be.

Story
Meet Lars! Lars is a gentle, quiet cat who has spent his whole life in the care of Noah’s Arc and is still waiting for a home of his own. Because he has never had the chance to experience life in a home, Lars can be a little shy at first. He is not the kind of cat who will rush into a new situation, but with patience, consistency, and a calm environment, he begins to relax and show the sweet personality underneath. Lars enjoys quiet companionship and would do best with someone who understands that trust may take a little time. Once he feels safe, he is affectionate in his own gentle way and enjoys simply being near the people he knows. He is looking for a calm, loving home where he can finally experience all the things he has missed — a soft place to sleep, a sunny window, a peaceful routine, and a family to call his own. Lars’ adoption fee is waived. About Noah's Arc Animal Rescue Noah's Arc Animal Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue located in East Tennessee.

Story
Meet Tinkerbell Tinkerbell is one of those little cats who quietly steals your heart. She’s petite, delicate, and an absolute angel of a girl. Tinkerbell truly loves people — she loves affection, being talked to, and knowing her person is nearby. But she also has a wonderfully independent side. She doesn’t need to be attached to you every second to feel loved. She’s perfectly happy finding a cozy spot, watching the world around her, and then coming back for attention when she’s ready. There’s something especially sweet about a cat like Tinkerbell — one who wants love, but asks for it so gently. She isn’t demanding. She isn’t complicated. She just wants a safe place to belong, people who adore her, and a home where she never has to wonder what comes next. Tinkerbell has already spent enough of her life waiting. Now she deserves to be someone’s little girl. About Noah’s Arc Animal Rescue All of our animals are spayed or neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea and tick treatments, dewormed, and treated for any ailments encountered during veterinary exams. Dogs are heartworm negative and cats are combo tested. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. An application does not obligate you to adopt. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will be in touch as soon as possible. Noah’s Arc is staffed by volunteers, and the shelter is not open to the public. Meet-and-greets for the animals are by appointment only.

Story
Here’s a sweeter version that still keeps the important FeLV information clear: DIEGO IS A COURTESY POST AND IS NOT CURRENTLY IN THE CARE OF NOAH’S ARC. PLEASE CONTACT EMILY DIRECTLY AT 423-912-5332 FOR MORE INFORMATION. Meet Diego 🤍 Diego is a special boy looking for someone who will see past his diagnosis and give him the loving home he deserves. Diego is FeLV positive, which simply means he will need a home that understands his needs. He should be the only cat in the home or live with other FeLV-positive cats. More than anything, Diego deserves what every cat deserves — a safe place to land, a family to love him, and the chance to enjoy life as a cherished companion. If you think Diego might be the one for you, please contact Emily at 423-912-5332 for more information.
