Siamese kittens & cats in Athens, Tennessee

Meet Jett, a striking feline whose life took a tragic turn when the only home he ever knew was shattered by loss. With a sleek black coat that matches the depths of his sorrowful eyes, Jett found himself surrendered to the shelter's doorstep after his beloved owner passed away, discarded like yesterday's newspaper by the family who couldn't bear the reminder of their loss.Once the king of his domain, Jett now roams the cold confines of the shelter, his once-proud demeanor overshadowed by the weight of abandonment and despair. Each day feels like an eternity as he waits for a familiar face that will never come, his heartache echoing through the empty halls like a mournful melody.As the days turn into weeks and the weeks into months, Jett watches as the other cats come and go, their hopeful eyes finding new homes while his own remain clouded with tears. He longs for someone who will see past his sorrow and offer him the love and understanding he so desperately craves, but with each passing day, his hope dims a little more, replaced by a sense of resignation to his fate.But despite the darkness that threatens to consume him, Jett's resilient spirit refuses to be extinguished. He dreams of a forever home where he can once again feel the warmth of a loving embrace and the gentle touch of a caring hand. He yearns for a family who will cherish him as he deserves, offering him the love and security he so desperately needs.If you have room in your heart for a soul in need of solace, please consider giving Jett the chance he so desperately deserves. Together, we can help heal his wounded heart and rewrite his story from one of sorrow and abandonment to one of love and redemption.

Currently located in: Winterport, ME! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: No, she is not fond of canine friends.... Good with cats: Toast would prefer to be the only kitty, but yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes, she does fine with kids but because of anxiety we would recommend a calmer household! Litter box trained: She's working really hard on training, does well in small spaces but has some accidents when open to full house as she has some anxiety! Meet Toast! Toast was found abandoned and left to fend for herself. We quickly took her in and worked on finding her a home. Toast was adopted, but has since been surrendered as the home is not the right fit for her. Toast has anxiety and needs a more calm and quiet environment to thrive vs the busy home she is in now. Toast does well with other kitties that are mild in behavior. She 100% poops in the litter box but sometimes has pee accidents if overwhelmed. She does very well when she is in a smaller space with all of her things and does not have potty accidents in those settings. Toast is affectionate and sweet! She enjoys being pet, playing and eating all the snacks! Lounging in the sun is a great past time and she is just a great cat overall! If you think you are the right home for her, please apply to adopt them here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes.

This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose. Interested in fostering?

Meet Jasper! He's a beautiful chocolate point Siamese mix. He's about four or five years old and has had eye issues in the past. Nothing that needs treatment. He is visual, although that vision may be somewhat limited. The story goes that he was left on a vet tech's porch in a box and ended up at a shelter. He was clearly owned at one time. He is looking for a real forever home this time. He hadn't yet been integrated into his foster home, but when he was carried through the house, he had no adverse reaction to the other cats he saw.  He's a big strong long-legged boy, and very gentle. We are sure he will grab your heart just as he did his foster mom's and everyone's at the shelter.  Jasper is current on his vaccines, negative for leukemia and aids, neutered, and microchipped.  If interested in Jasper, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 (Land line) or hhfrey1@tds.net.    We are a small, private feline-only rescue group dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of homeless cats and kittens. The majority of our cats and kittens come from high kill shelters. Through our application and interview process, we strive to make the 'purrfect' match to insure a loving, lifelong home for those in our care. We do NOT receive funding from any national organization, federal or state governments.April 30, 2024, 3:45 pm

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.  Salutations! My name is Simon! I was found as a stray. I was having a hard time of it for sure. Someone was kind enough to rescue me though... WHEW! I'm a shy boy but oh, so handsome! I enjoy being petted and cuddling on my own terms and I do not prefer being held. I have a really nice foster family that has been working on making feel comfortable and safe. They say that I am an oddly lovely boy. They also think I'm hysterical because I kind of army crawl to you and then I like to back my bum into you to get pets. So, yeah, I might be oddly lovely...I'll take that. The best thing that has happened is that I met the love of my life... Blossom. She makes my heart sing and I don't want to ever be without her. She is beautiful! She is a little more outgoing than I am and would rather not be picked up. She will cuddle on her own terms too. We are two peas in a pod for sure, so don't ask to separate us. A calm home would be right up our alley with someone that will give us time to adjust because then you would become one of the luckiest people in the world! You would have us! Love,Simon & Blossom 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. 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. April 27, 2024, 12:43 pm
